Hidden Leaf is one of the most powerful ninja villages in the world. The village was founded approximately 60 years before the start of the series by the brothers who would become First and Second Hokage. In the beginning the gathered group was essentially a ninja unit; with the First's death his younger brother established the village infrastructure. By the end of the first Ninja World War, Konoha had grown and its citizenship diversified. Konoha has a strong tradition of protecting its own and the Kyuubi attack provided the best example.
