NARUTO VILLAGES
Konoha
Hidden village of the leaf
The name for the Konoha village comes from the first master who used a leaf
on his forehead as a way to concentrate his mind and chakra, The village of
hidden leaf is surrounded by farming country and forest and is located in
the country of fire. The village of Konoha has made the country of fire one
of the strategically strongest due to its large shinobi village. Even other
Country’s like the country of the wind prefer to use the Konoha shinobi.
The current leader of Konoha is the fifth Hokage Tsunade, meaning she is
the fifth leader to rule Konoha since it beginning. Although some villages
have shinobi who concentrate their Jutsu’s according to the land they live
in, but because Konoha is so well centered that the Shinobi are able to
incorporate a wide variety of Jutsu’s for their use.
A great wall on three sides, which anyone has to pass through or over to
get inside, surrounds the village itself. The third side is a large cliff
face, which has the heads of each Hokage, marked into the side. Inside the
heads are secret hideaways for the villagers and shinobi children in case of
any attack made by opposing forces with tunnels leading deep into the cliff
face.
One of the boundaries of Konoha is marked by “the end of the world” a
large waterfall marked with two statues of the first and second Hokage and a
river that is said to go on forever. It was said that this landmark was made
by two Nin having an enormous battle. This was also where Naruto and Sauske
had their own confrontation. Some of Konoha’s famous Nin are: All the
Hokages, Hatake Kakashi “the copy ninja”, and Uchiha Itachi an S-class
criminal known for his skills and later for murdering his whole clan, and
Jirabaiya one of the Sennin, known for his abilities with Genjutsu and
writing very naughty books.
Hidden
village of the Sand
Hidden village of the sand is a shinobi village located in the wind country,
a rocky desert area sunk into a valley and surrounded by cliffs and is lead
by the head shinobi named the Kazekage. The first passage to travel into the
valley is in a cleft between two cliff faces, and this on top of the need to
ship in all food and water makes this area very hard to attack for any
period of time. The buildings are all made from mostly clay or stucco to
help keep them cool and to withstand raging sand storms which are common in
the area.
Though the Hidden sand village is one of the top five shinobi villages they
have suffered a major decrease in power due to their feudal lord, who has
cut back on budgeting and given much of the local work to hidden leaf
shinobi. This has caused many to believe that the feudal lord is trying to
do away with the hidden village of the sand, so even though they were allies
Sand decided to make a move against Konoha at the chuunin exam, but when
they were defeated they were forced to admit their involvement and beg
forgiveness after learning of the death of their Kazekage by Orochimaru, the
leader of the hidden village of sound and an enemy to Konoha village.
Due to the lack of water most of the shinobi of the sand use earth and wind
Jutsu’s for their attacks all though they are not limited to this alone.
Some shinobi who excel in earth and wind Justus are Gaara who is bound to a
sand incarnation and the new kazekage, and Temari who uses her fan to make
high-pressure waves of air to cut down her opponent.
Hidden village
of Sound
The hidden village of sound is the newest Shinobi village so far. Unknown to
the other Shinobi leaders, It was Orochimaru who created the Sound village
as a way for him to build up an army in order to attack his former village
Konoha. Unlike many of the other villages, which claim to be secret but have
grown far to large to be called that, the location of hidden sound is
largely unknown to the people that surrounded. Buried deep into the earth
Sound is large maze of catacombs going deeper and deeper into the Earth. The
only known entrance is a small house with steps leading deep into the earth,
surrounded by towering trees deep in the forest. This gives the village of
sound the illusion of being much smaller than it is when in actuality it is
quite large.
Located in the country of sound, the surrounding area is mostly cultivated
land and forest. When the shinobi village was allowed into the country it
was believed that it would help bring prosperity to the surrounding country,
which was a mainly poor area. This was not the effect as The leader
Orochimaru was more interested in building an army then in supporting the
country. By the time this was learned they had become far too powerful, and
Orochimaru had broken up any of the clans who might have fought against him,
forcing members to join his ranks or face the destruction of the whole clan.
While many of the Shinobi of sound come from many different countries many
of them have the same jutsu types, using sound as their weapon. This can
vary between using shock waves or in controlling puppets using a flute.
Some shinobi that come from the sound village are: Kabuto, Kimimaru and
Tayuya.
Hidden Village of Mist
Although much of the village of Mist is unknown there are a few facts. One
of the five strongest shinobi villages it is commonly referred to as the
village of the “bloody” mist for its extreme brutality. Until a few years
ago the main competition for becoming a Genin ninja and graduating from the
ninja academy, students who had known each other there whole lives were
paired off and fight to the death. Until ten years ago one student killed
over 100 of his friends without question or feeling, this caused a major
change in the system doing away with much of the brutality of the tests.
There is little to tell about the landscape except that it is a hilly area
with abundant meadowland.
Centered in the Water country, hidden mist is an island in an
archipelago and due to that uses mainly water Jutsu. Some of these Jutsu
types include, kirigakure no Jutsu (hidden Mist Technique) where the user
calls up a thick shrouding mist making for poor visibility and enables the
killer to kill without being noticed, and suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu “Great
waterfall technique” the user uses great amounts of water formed into a
cyclone then explodes it into the enemy like a great tsunami. This has the
force to rip up trees and surrounding landscape not to mention either
killing with the force of the blow or drowning the victim.
Some of the Nin to originate from the hidden mist village are, momichi
Zabuza an S-class criminal later killed, and Haku an orphan with a strong
bloodline limit
Hidden waterfall
village
Unlike many of the hidden villages the hidden waterfall really is hidden,
and the entrance is known to very few. Located on top of a remote cliff one
of the few entrances to this village is through a waterfall and some
underwater tunnels making this a village that is very well defended. The
village itself lies beneath the branches of the great oak on the edge of the
lake that surrounds the tree. The main source of power and protection for
the village is the large tree that every hundred years produces an elixir
called the “hero water”, this supposedly gives the user a large chakra boost
too be used whenever the village is in danger but also has the added side
effect that it eats away at the users life force and will often kill older
shinobi who try to use it. This is the reason for the name of the elixir due
to the fact that it makes heroes but more often then not kills them, the
reason in the end that they do not have very many strong shinobi is due to
the fact that many of them do not live long enough to become great.
Due to its relative size and its remote location, this village does not even
have a Kage but a leader called “The Hero of the hidden falls” a position
that can be tricky at best and handles only the most basic tasks and does
not qualify as one of the greater shinobi often relying from help by their
allies Konoha village. This makes them very concerned about keeping their
village hidden even from their allies.
