Tobirama would later be killed by Kinkaku during the same war, but appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi as Third Hokage shortly before his death. Hashirama died during the war, shortly after the village began to flourish, and the mantle of Hokage was passed onto his brother, Tobirama Senju, who became the Second Hokage. The First Three World Wars Īt some point, Hashirama came to bind most of the tailed beasts and sold them to other villages during the First Shinobi World War, to promote peace and tranquility. To contain its enormous power, the village began its trend of sealing the beast within the Uzumaki, a clan that the Senju and thus the rest of Konoha had close ties with. As a result of the battle, Konoha came into possession of the Nine-Tails. Madara was ultimately defeated at what would be called the Valley of the End and he was believed to have died. No Uchiha would help, forcing him to take on Hashirama by himself. Madara, however, feared that the Senju would oppress his clan and attempted to gather support to overthrow Hashirama. This ability and his ideals were two of the reasons he was chosen to become the village's leader: the Hokage. Hashirama used his Wood Release abilities to produce much of the village's infrastructure. Konoha as it appeared shortly after its founding. Other villages would soon start forming, following Konoha's example and essentially ending the Warring States Period. Thus the Senju, the Uchiha, and their respective affiliated clans formed the first shinobi village: Konohagakure - a name invented by Madara himself. Eventually, intending to end the constant bloodshed, Hashirama Senju used his position as leader of his clan to broker a truce with the Uchiha clan through their leader, his childhood friend Madara Uchiha. The two strongest of these clans were the Senju and the Uchiha, who had warred against each other for their entire histories. The Uchiha and Senju establish Konohagakure.ĭuring the Warring States Period, ninja were organised into small mercenary clans that knew nothing but battle. Many Konohagakure ninja use Fire Release techniques. They also tend to wrap bandages around their legs. The standard attire for Konoha shinobi consists of blue or black shirts which may or may not have swirl patterns on the shoulders, along with matching coloured pants under a green flak jacket which also has a red swirl on the back, and pockets on the chest area. While generally seen as the most powerful of the ninja villages, Konoha has enjoyed many years of relative peace and stability. It is surrounded on all sides by enormous walls. Konoha resides deep within a forest at the base of a mountain known as the Hokage Rock, which has the faces of all those who have taken the office of Hokage engraved on it. As the village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Konohagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Hokage, of which there have been eight in its history. The rings themselves may not be of considerable use anymore, yet their symbolic nature serves as an insight into the Akatsuki’s characters.Konohagakure ( 木ノ葉隠れの里, Konohagakure no Sato, English TV: "Village Hidden in the Leaves" or "Hidden Leaf Village", literally meaning: Village Hidden by Tree Leaves) is the hidden village of the Land of Fire. During the initial parts of Shippuden, however, these rings were depicted to be of high value, with a few members even risking their lives to retrieve the rings. The idea was eventually given the backseat by Kishimoto, primarily due to the story moving in a different direction, with little time to focus on this relatively meager concept. Due to the chakra link between the rings, they could also be used as communication devices between the Akatsuki’s members.
The rings were initially worn by members in specific fingers, each signifying their place on the Gedo Statue’s fingers while extracting the tailed beasts.

The Akatsuki’s rings are one such element of the series that has an air of mystique around it, and though their purpose may remain vague, the symbolic nature of these rings certainly makes it worth exploring what they embody. While some references are more apparent and overt, such as techniques being named after Shinto deities, others are much more vague and difficult to decipher. The Naruto Franchise draws heavily from folklore and mythologies, symbolizing almost every aspect of the series with a profound meaning.
