The Hidden Leaf Village is a hidden village adopted by the Land of Fire, one of the largest and most powerful countries in the Naruto series. As its name suggests, the Hidden Leaf Village is a village hidden by tree leaves because its location is deep within a forest at the base of the Hokage Rock.
Unlike many villages in the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Konohagakure or Konoha has all its sides surrounded by gigantic walls. Other ninja villages consider it the most powerful, and it is the only one that has enjoyed peace and stability for many years.
History of the Hidden Leaf Village
The Hidden Leaf Village came into existence during the Warring States Period, a long, violent era that preceded the formation of the hidden villages. During this period, the Senju and Uchiha clans with long histories of battle decided to end the bloodshed, with Hashirama Senju as the leader of the Senju clan.

He used his position to call for peace with the Uchiha clan under the leadership of Madara Uchiha. Hashirama and Madara were childhood friends and had seen their clans fight throughout their histories. Luckily, Hashirama and Madara succeeded in bringing peace.
As a result, they called upon their affiliated clans to join them and form a village of shinobi called Konohagakure, a name coined by Madara. After creating Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village), it became an example, and others soon began forming small hidden villages. The efforts eventually ended the Warring States Period.
Earliest leaders of the Hidden Leaf Village

After the formation of the Hidden Leaf Village, Hashirama produced the infrastructure of the entire village. Many villagers saw him as a man of good ideas, thoughts, and leadership. Therefore, they chose him to become their leader, known as the Hokage.
Madara was also a leader because he played a crucial role in coining the village's name. But after the selection of Hashirama as the Hokage, he became insecure. Madara feared that Hashirama and his clan, the Senju, would oppress the Uchiha clan.
He then concocted a plan to overthrow him. But, to his surprise, his fellow Uchiha did not support him. So, he decided to remove Hashirama by force. Unfortunately, it led to his defeat, and many people believed he died.
Symbols
What is the symbol of the Hidden Leaf Village? The Hidden Leaf Village symbol is a stylised leaf. It represents the village founded by Lord Hashirama and Madara Uchiha. Legend has it that when Hashirama and Madara founded the Konoha village, they saw a valley that looked like a leaf. Madara then drew a symbol that looked like a leaf.
What is the Hidden Leaf Village headband called?
The Hidden Leaf Village headband is the forehead protector, composed of a cloth band and a metal plate. In Konoha, only the shinobi or ninjas wear the headband with the symbol of the Hidden Leaf Village. Although one has to wear the headband on their forehead, a shinobi can wear it anywhere as long as it is visible on them.
For example, one can use it as a hairband, belt, badge, makeshift eye-patch, and necklace, wear it as a bandana, wear on the hood, put it around the neck, or wrap it around the arm. In the Hidden Leaf Village, wearing the headband is a sign of pride and allegiance. Any ninja that wears it considers the protector an honourable and essential part of the village’s tradition.
It is rare to find a shinobi not donning it. Besides, it is disrespectful to fail to wear the headband. A person that gets dethroned of it signals that they are not worthy of being called a shinobi or ninja.
Clans
How many clans are in the Hidden Leaf Village? It has 20 clans, of which only four are noble compared to others, including Aburame, Hyuga, Uchiha, and Akimichi. The rest of the 16 clans are Fuma, Hatake, Hoki Family, Inuzuka, Izuno, Kohaku, Kurama, Lee, Nara, Onikuma, Sarutobi, Senju, Shimura, Uzumaki, Yamanaka, and Tenma Izumo's clan.
All the clans came together after Hashirama and Madara made a truce and built a new village. They enjoyed peace for some time but later returned to war. But they try to live in peace out of respect for Hashirama and Madara, two of the strongest shinobi in their history.
