Higakure

== Overview ==
Higakure (or the Village Hidden in Light) is the second most populated city in all of the world. It is also claimed (albeit anecdotal) to be the 'safest city in the world'. As well as this, it is also the one of the most technological, only second to Denkigakure (Village Hidden in Electricity). It is home to two major clans: the Uchiha and Hyuga. But the clans as a whole that are there remains relatively diverse. A huge range of people come to Higakure and even settle there. 
Higakure, despite it's technological advancements, is still considered a traditionalist city. It is often compared to its predecessor, Konohagakure (Village Hidden in the Leaves), as it carries on a multitude of traditions such as the same Genin bell test (now named the "Genin Bell Challenge"), statues of the past leaders over centuries on the nearby mountainside, the ANBU (albeit altered somewhat), and the Uchiha and Hyuga clan traditions, who now cooperate with each other readily. 
In addition, Higakure is the third biggest trade city. The other two are Denkigakure and Chigakure (central city of the world). Category:Villages
