None are more renowned thanKonohagakure , often shout out " Konoha " or " the Hidden Leaf Village , " where protagonist Naruto Uzumaki resides alongside other lynchpin like Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha . Konoha is the largest of the obliterate villages andserves as the center forNaruto ’s plot .
Because Konoha is the focal point , viewer may overlook its nature as a political entity . While many case throughout the serial publication gainsay this privileging of Konoha , it sometimes require extra depth psychology to understandthe full implications of a character and their development .
There are few better lesson of this thanNaruto Shippuden ’s oft - forgottenKonan , a member of Akatsuki and partner of Pain who hail from Amegakure , " the Hidden Rain Village . "
The fights against members of Akatsuki are some of the coolest in all of Naruto , leading many fan to enquire which are the best of the unspoiled .
Konan Is a Product of Hidden Village Conflicts
Living through brutality, Jiraiya trains Konan, Nagato, and Yahiko – orphans of Amegakure
Konan full emerge as a character inNarutoShippuden ’s Pain Assault discharge . Her nursing home village , Amegakure , is often get in conflicts between larger villages . Konan , Nagato , and Yahiko wereorphaned due to these conflictsand later foundedthe first loop of Akatsuki , a mathematical group initially rivet on resist warfare and fighting for peace .
As children , the three were train by the legendary Jiraiya , who found them during a conflict involving Konoha . Konan becomes one ofNaruto ’s most challenging shinobi , beingthe only one to control paper - jutsu . Expanding a precocious accomplishment at origami into an intact fighting dash , Konan epitomizes what makesNaruto ’s fighting system unequaled : intricate manipulation of chakra producing a panache that reflects a character ’s backstory and personality .
Konan spearheaded Nagato ’s violation against Konoha and had intense fights with some ofShippuden ’s strongest shinobi . She possessed an unbelievable endowment for prevision , imitate scenarios internally to determine the good course of activeness . Her raw strength , predictive power , and unyielding faith in her comrades make herone ofNaruto ’s most underestimated — and dangerous — shinobi .
The Pain Arc Shows Strength On All Sides
After Nagato and Konan lead an assault against Konoha, Naruto makes a questionable promise.
Konan ’s lack of allegiances in a earth often introduce itself as black and bloodless is what make her interesting . Her few allegiance are toAmegakure and her fellow orphans , Nagato and Yahiko . After Yahiko dies , Akatsuki ’s leaders fade to Nagato , and Konan stay on patriotic to his vision of bringing peace to a violent public , one linked to their source in the war - torn Amegakure .
A complex logic hold the initially peaceable Akatsuki with the prerogative of capturing the Tailed Beasts . Although it was n’t the original aim of Akatsuki , Nagato ’s intention was to use the power of the Tailed Beasts for a forbidden jutsu which , in light of its baron , would deter warfare between small town . The carry-over of baron to Obito would see the same end bent toward the purpose of resurrect Kaguya and enacting the Infinite Tsukuyomi .
The Pain arc is belovedpartly because ithighlights the damage small town like Konoha have have to bystander . It concludes not with a climactic conflict but with Naruto convincing Nagato to change his route , where a key promise is made : that Naruto will help doctor peace to Amegakure . As Nagato dies , Konan , the last pull through penis of the Amegakure orphans , leaves Akatsuki on this premise .
When Konan returns to Amegakure to head it , she receives none of the promised funding and finally defends against Obito , who seeksthe Rinnegan she invite from Nagato . Without veridical material support , she lose her liveliness in the process . While Obito ’s plan could n’t have been predicted , a proactive response from Konoha might haveprovided life-sustaining backup for Konan . Her last is marked by a slip of paper bring back to where she and Akatsuki ’s other founders prepare and promised to return .
Konan Reflects the Political Reality of Hidden Villages
Konan shows the limits and failures ofNaruto’s war-ravaged world.
This break that Konoha ’s problem is n’t throttle to a single Hokage ’s erroneousness but is tie to the ideals that have always driven it .
Konan is authoritative because she reveals that Konoha , despite being the serial ' focal point , is far from innocent . Konoha , like other Village , charm Amegakure in the crossfire of geopolitical disputes . It castsNaruto ’s central small town in a different light once one realizes Amegakure and Konan lay out wasted potentiality sacrificed for the political want of position like Konoha .
As a series , Narutoalways emphasized the hopeful high-mindedness of its title of respect character . However , Konan also disclose the limit of this noble-mindedness in the face ofNaruto ’s geopolitical realities . Despite Naruto ’s well - meaning hope to Nagato , it ’s salinity in the wound that Konan returns to Amegakure only for it to be forget . The settlement re-emerge inBorutoepisode 157 , where Sasuke and Sai find it in shambling , the state it ’s been in since theFourth bully Ninja War . Naruto unceremoniously dispatches tending to Amegakure in response , a gesture that is never followed up on .
This reveals that Konoha ’s problemisn’t limited to a exclusive Hokage ’s errorbut is tied to the ideals that have always driven it . Whether through Hashirama ’s lofty ambition , Tobirama ’s realism , or Naruto ’s stubborn high-mindedness , Konoha occupies a central position thatobscures the rubble it leaves behind . Naruto bury his promise to Konan and Nagato , highlighting a job that leaves Amegakure unstable while village like Konoha benefit .
The fact Amegakure is seldom observe also spotlight one ofNaruto ’s narration battle : despite construct an immense cosmos , Narutofocuses mostly on the perspective of one hamlet . An unwitting consequence is that thevillages on the fringe tend to be sidelined both narratively and politically . Konan serves as a reminder that even the most dear place inNarutois build partly on cataclysm and missed potential .
