Village Hidden in the Leaves

**Konohagakure**, **Konoha** or **Village Hidden in the Leaf** (colloquially referred to as **Leaf**) in Fire Country is the most powerful of the five major ninja villages, and is the largest city in Fire. It was found by Senju Hashirama, the first kage of Konoha.

The current hokage is Hyūga Hiashi.

## Plot

Team Uplift made their visit there after the Arikada mission failed, and was ultimately ejected out of Leaf due to Kurosawa Hazō's poor wording in a conversation with Jiraiya.

A few months later, Team Uplift joined Leaf using Skywalker and formed Clan Gōketsu with Jiraiya.

Konoha suffered firepower and manpower attrition through battles with Akatsuki, during the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and the Battle of Nagi Island.

## Locations

* **Tanaka's Grill** - restaurant, right next to the Hyuga clan compound. Anko and Mari made their visit there.
* **Nakamura Art Gallery** - Keiko and Shikamaru's first designation on their first date.
* **Ichiraku Ramen** - Keiko and Shikamaru decided to eat there because it would be more delicious than the cafe they tried.
* **Senju Memorial Park** - Keiko and Shikamaru decided not to go there.
* Various streets named **Senju** <Street, Avenue, Lane, Court, Way, Boulevard, Road, or Park>. Senju Park East is confirmed to mark the west demarcation of the Senju Memorial Park.
* **Cock o' the Walk Books** - A bookstore that was owned and operated by Kon Akimitsu, father of Kon Ai. It sold very expensive seal quality papers that attracted customers like Hazo and Kagome. Unfortunately, with the owner dead, it may have went out of business.

* **Willowbark Lane**, **Elm Street**, **Pure Way** - More streets.
