Villages
here
we will talk about Naruto's world setting. firstly, there's something
basic to know that Naruto's world consists of big 5 countries (kuni)
i.e. Hi (fire), Mizu (water), Kaze
(wind), Rai (lightning), and Tsuchi
(earth). each country has at least one hidden village, such as Konohagakure
(hidden leaf) in Hi no Kuni, Sunagakure (hidden sand) in Kaze no Kuni,
Kirigakure (hidden mist) in Mizu no Kuni, and many other minor hidden
villages. each village also has a leader i.e. Hokage,
Mizukage, Kazekage, Raikage, and Tsuchikage. however, due to lack of
space (as always ^^") we will explain the major hidden villages
only.
Konoha
Gakure
Country
: Hi (Fire)
Hidden Village : Konoha (leaf)
Leader : Hokage (Tsunade)
the strongest and most prosperous country of all. this is where our
heroes lived. Konohagakure is famed for their brave shinobi, esp. the
Hokage. the most distinctive landmark is a hill where the faces of Hokage
were carved on (doesn't it remind you to Mt. Rushmore?) this village
has a ninja academy, ramenya (where Naruto
usually hangs up), onzen (where Jiraiya peeps), yakinikuya (Chouji's
fave place), hanaya (Ino's flowershop), hospital, shrine, etc.
Suna
Gakure
Country
: Kaze (Wind)
Hidden Village : Suna (sand)
Leader : Kazekage (Gaara)
this humble country is Konoha ally. yet because of the alliance treaty
Sunagakure lost a lot of incomes and turn destituted. Orochimaru took
this advantage and persuaded Kazekage to betray the treaty and annihilate
Konoha to eternity. the best trio suna shinobi: Gaara,
Kankuro and Temari
were assigned for this job. yet eventually they found out Orochimaru
had killed Kazekage and fled away. then Sunagakure reconciled with Konohagakure.
Nami
Gakure
Country
: Mizu (water)
Hidden Villages : Nami (wave), Kiri (mist), Ame (rain), Taki (waterfall)
Leader : Mizukage
Namigakure is where Naruto-gumi had their first mission outside their
homeland. in this village they met Zabuza
(a missing nin from Kirigakure) and Haku
(a pretty boy from Yuki no Kuni). the mission was done successfully
and Naruto became a true hero! meanwhile, Kirigakure is famed for their
strong military forces and S-class rated missing nin (Hoshigaki
Kisame).
Oto
Gakure
Country
: Unknown
Hidden Village : Oto (sound)
Leader : Orochimaru
a real 'hidden' village since its exact location is not known yet. rather
than a village, Otogakure is a secret underground residence in an unknown
forest. this hidden village was founded by Orochimaru himself, for his
sordid mission of course. Orochimaru gathered many strong shinobi and
cast the curse seals upon them. the curse seals make them stronger yet
helplessly bond to him.
