Chapter 301
At least before Orochimaru launched the Konoha destruction plan, Konoha's comprehensive national strength has remained at the world's number one level for a long time, but it has never had absolute hegemony over the world from beginning to end.If the other villages attack Konoha with one heart and one mind, Konoha may not be able to resist.
Before the Fourth World War, compared with other villages, Konoha had the most obvious advantages in the two periods when the first Hokage was in power and the third Hokage was in power.
During the reign of the first Hokage:
[-]. Although the first generation of Naruto is known as the "God of Ninja", its personal strength is indeed strong to the level of a demigod, but the strength of the other first generation of four shadows has not been described. The other four shadows have the ability to call on many families on their own side to form an alliance and cooperate with other countries. The agreement of one country, one village was reached, and the attitude was arrogant at the first Five Kages Conference. It is not known whether the first generation of Hokage can easily win with one enemy and four. (Besides, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also known as the God of Ninja)
[-]. The families have just formed an alliance, and people's hearts are uncertain; the Warring States period has just ended, the economy is depressed, and there is no condition for large-scale war.
[-]. The first generation of Hokage convened the first Five Kages Conference after the battle with Madara, which not only exposed hidden dangers in Konoha’s internal affairs, but also the strength of the first generation of Hokage himself was frustrated after the battle with Madara. Although there is no exact time, it can be inferred that the first Five Kages Conference The first generation of Hokage passed away shortly thereafter, and his reign was relatively short.
[-]. Although the first generation of Hokage has gathered most of the tailed beasts, it is hard to say whether they can be fully controlled and used in warfare. Tailed beasts are weapons to the enemy, but they are not time bombs to one's own side.
To sum up, even if the strength of the first Hokage can surpass any ninja at that time, and Konoha's strength can surpass any ninja village, Konoha still does not have the strength to surpass the whole world.
During the reign of the Three Generations of Naruto:
Although the manga overturned the setting that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the strongest Hokage in the later stage, the three generations of Hokage led Konoha to win the second and third world championships, creating the most stable and prosperous period in Konoha's history.
During the Second Ninja War, the Three Hokages were in their prime, and there were three advisors, Shimura Danzo, Mitomon En, and Zanju Koharu, and Sannin and Konoha "White Fang" Hatake Sakumo in the middle.But the second ninja world war was so protracted, so it's hard to say that Konoha can be stronger than the sum of other ninja villages. (In addition, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade used three enemies and one in the country of the rain against Sanjiao Hanzo, it can be seen that Sannin is still in the growth stage)
Compared with the second ninja war, the third ninja war is more detailed in the manga.Konoha did have wars with Yunyin, Yanyin, Sandyin, and Wuyin, the four major ninja villages. See Wang Zhenning's answer for details.But it should be noted that although these villages have all had wars with Konoha, they are not in an alliance, and they are also attacking each other.At least it is certain that there was a big battle between Yan Yin and Yun Yin.Therefore, even if Konoha won the Second and Third World Wars, it does not mean that Konoha is stronger than the sum of other villages.

Only one year after the Fourth Hokage came to power, Konoha was attacked by the former apprentice Uchiha Obito. Konoha Village suffered a rare local attack in decades, which made Konoha, which had just recovered after World War Three, greatly shocked again. Frustrated, Yunyin, who takes "Military First Politics" as his basic national policy, is about to make a move. Taking the opportunity to reignite the flames of war, Konoha coolies join the battle, and finally signs a peace treaty with Yunyin after three years, but Yunyin takes the opportunity of signing the contract to enter Konoha to steal Baiyan, the ninja Yunyin who performed the mission was killed by Hinata's father Hinata Hinata, and Yunyin used this incident to carry out war blackmail against Konoha, which eventually led to the death of Neji's father Hinata Hinata.It can be seen that after the Nine-Tails incident, even though Konoha is the largest country in the world, its strength is different from the past.
The reason why Konoha can maintain its dominant position for a long time is mainly due to:
[-]. Economic basis.The Land of Fire has both land and sea, a vast territory, and superior climatic conditions. Compared with the Land of Earth in the northwest inland, the Land of Wind in the desert, the Land of Thunder in the bitter cold, and the Land of Water isolated overseas have obvious advantages.Although Konoha’s main income comes from accepting tasks for remuneration, Konoha is a national institution of the Fire Nation after all, and the Fire Nation has certain financial support for Konoha (you can see that the daimyo of the Fire Nation after Tsunade’s coma-Konoha joint meeting), so the strength of Konoha's military power has a lot to do with the financial resources of the Fire Country; in addition, the Fire Country has a developed economy, a large population, and a larger task market than other villages.
[-]. System construction.Konoha pioneered the ninja school system and the Anbu system.The door of the Konoha Ninja School is open to anyone from any background, whether it is a noble family like Tsunade, or a poor family like Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato can enter the ninja school and have the opportunity to become a ninja. Guaranteed that Konoha is full of talents; the Anbu established by the second generation of Hokage is an elite organization directly under Hokage, and it is an efficient team that resolutely implements Hokage's will, which greatly strengthens Hokage's personal centralization and guarantees Konoha's political stability.
But Konoha also has natural defects that are difficult to break through - geographical defects
The Land of Fire has a long land border and has the most neighbors on land among the great powers. It is located in the center of the other four countries and is the site of the Four Wars.For this reason, Konoha has reached a tacit agreement with other big countries, and has retained many small countries as strategic buffer zones in the gap between the big countries to avoid friction. The land neighbors surrounding the Fire Country include the Country of River, the Country of Rain, the Country of Grass, and Taki Nine countries including Ninja Country, Field Country, Frost Country, Iron Country, and Bear Country, these countries still exist after three Ninja World Wars, reflecting the long-term strategic balance among the five major countries.
To sum up, under the premise of excluding Ming Zuo's factors, although Konoha's comprehensive national strength has remained at the world's first level for a long time, it has never had absolute hegemony over the world from beginning to end.
But I don't agree that Konoha is stronger than other ninja villages at any time.
Let me talk about one thing first, if Konoha is really above all Ninja villages from beginning to end, how could there be the death of Neji's father?If Konoha is really that strong, Danzo will reject Sidai Raikage like Madara rejected Wu and Onogi.
First of all, what is combat power?Only those who obey the shadow's arrangement and devote themselves to the characters in a short period of time can be called combat power.In this way, Sannin cannot be counted as Konoha's combat power for a long time after the fourth generation succeeds to the throne.A defection, a fear of blood, another travel around the world.
This is after the death of the fourth generation, especially after the Uchiha extermination to Tsunade's accession to the throne, not to mention from Tsunade's succession to Payne's attack, Konoha did not have the number of kage-level ninjas during this period. considerable advantage.
Due to constant internal strife, Konoha was absolutely stronger than other countries only in three periods.That is, from the establishment of the village to Uchiha Madara's defection, and the end of the Second Ninja World War to the death of Bai Fang and Tsunade's fear of blood.And after the end of the Fourth Ninja World War.During these three periods, Konoha's top combat power was almost equivalent to the sum of the other four countries.Especially in the first and third periods.
Let me talk about from Jiancun to Uchiha Madara's defection, Konoha is definitely the strongest.
From Uchiha Madara's defection to the battle between the two at the Valley of the End, Konoha should be the strongest, after all, there is Hashirama who is not human.
From the Battle of the Valley of the End to the death of Hashirama, that is, on the eve of the outbreak of the first Ninja World War, Konoha's strength is almost the same as that of other ninja villages, but it is stronger in face.A major event happened during this period, that is, the first meeting of the Five Kages.I think Hashirama's low profile may be because he realizes that his days are numbered.If I try my best to build a bigger country, future generations may not be able to hold it.That's why I came here.
In the first ninja world war, almost every country lost a shadow, Yunyin seemed to suffer the most, and the second generation of Lei and Jinjiaoyinjiao both died.On Konoha's side, the second generation died, and the immature third generation took over.It can be said that this is the lowest point since the establishment of Konoha Village.Perhaps for better unity, Danzo also has his own Anbu.
However, due to the huge casualties of all countries, a balance was reached.The ninja world has had peace for fifteen or sixteen years.
After peace, the world ushered in the Second Ninja World War.
Konoha is also approaching his golden age. The three generations of the older generation, Danzo are already full of energy, the middle-aged Jiraiya Orochimaru Tsunade Sakumo is maturing day by day, and the younger generation of Minato is also showing his head and feet.
On the eve of World War III, Konoha officially entered its golden age.At that time, Tsunade was not afraid of blood, White Fang was not dead, and Minato was about to come of age.However, after that, Tsunade was afraid of blood, and Bai Fang committed suicide. Fortunately, Minato lived up to his high expectations. Unexpectedly, Minato died so early.Orochimaru also defected, and Jiraiya also went to Yunyou.The Nine-Tails struck, not to mention the loss of Konoha's high-end combat power, and a large number of backbones died.
Fortunately, Shisui stood up. Unexpectedly, there was an internal strife, and Uchiha was wiped out.After a few years of delay, Orochimaru came to make trouble again, and the three generations died.
Konoha didn't recover until Naruto grew up ten years later.
There are three periods in which Konoha really crushed the ninja world, the pillar madra period, the early three generations, and the Mingsa period. In other periods, either the advantages were not obvious, or they were weaker than other countries.
At the beginning of the establishment of the village, Konoha had two bugs, Hashirama and Madara, which undoubtedly crushed the other four major powers, but with the nominal death of Madara after the Battle of the Valley of the End, Hashirama will also die, and Konoha’s first golden age is coming to an end .
It is actually a very wise choice for Hashirama to choose to share the tailed beasts instead of unifying the Ninja World. It is unknown whether it can withstand the counterattacks of the other four major powers, and Konoha, which has eight tailed beasts, is likely to be targeted by the four major powers, making Konoha a target of public criticism in the next war. Since the tailed beasts have become hot potatoes, it is better When Konoha still has an absolute advantage, sell the Tailed Beast in exchange for Konoha's strategic advantage in the future.
As Konoha entered the second generation period, the conflict between the village and Uchiha began to emerge. The next generation of ninjas such as the third generation Danzo had not yet grown up. Konoha was actually supported by the second generation alone, but the second generation's research on forbidden techniques to a certain extent Although Konoha at this time is still a relatively powerful country among the five major countries, it is obviously not as invincible as it was in the first generation.
As the second generation of Hokage was hunted down by the gold and silver brothers, and the young third generation inherited Hokage, Konoha suffered from the weakest period of paper strength since the establishment of the village. The three generations relied on their excellent diplomatic work to win the first ninja world war, and in the second ninja world war, the three ninjas began to gain strength and defeated the country of wind. At this time, Konoha has faintly returned to the five major countries A top-notch country, but not far from being invincible.
As time came to the end of the third ninja world war, Konoha's strength reached the second period of invincibility since the village was founded. With Minato as the core, young people like Kakashi Asma also appeared. Diplomatically, Konoha and the country of water and the country of wind formed an alliance. Shi Konoha's advantage is extremely great.But at this time, the crisis within Konoha is also intensifying. Danzo and Orochimaru jointly attempt to seize power, and Uchiha's conflicts are also intensifying.
Taking the Nine-Tails Incident as a turning point, Konoha fell into internal friction that lasted for more than ten years. The death of the Fourth Naruto led to the death of the Nine-Tails Jinzhu power in vain. The assassination of the third generation failed, and the third generation immediately drove away Danzo’s political ally Orochimaru. Uchiha’s dissatisfaction with Konoha also reached the point of irreconcilability, and finally ended with the extremely tragic ending of Uchiha’s extermination. The strength of the control method of Inchuriki surpassed that of Konoha, and the country of water almost entered a state of anarchy under the control of Obito. A large number of high-strength fighters defected, and they could not play the role of allies at all. Ye is getting more and more eccentric, and Hanzo is also defeated by Akatsuki. Konoha has lost her influence on Yuyin, and non-traditional forces such as Akatsuki and Otonin are also rising. Although Konoha is not the weakest period at this time, it is the period with the most internal and external troubles. serious period.In the fifth generation after that, on the one hand, they had the hard-core ally of the Kingdom of the Wind and the return of Jiraiya, and the growth strength of Kakashi Kai and the Twelve Xiaoqiang recovered. On the one hand, they were successively invaded by the undead duo and Payne. , leading to the leadership of the Fourth Ninja World War being obtained by the Land of Thunder, and then the Ming Zuo era, it goes without saying that Konoha is invincible!
In the early days, no one dared to do anything;
In the period of the second generation, when he was in a hurry, he reincarnated in the first generation in the dirty soil;
During the third generation (heyday), Minato + Sannin + the third generation who knows the most ninjutsu can summon the first generation and the second generation with Dirty Reincarnation;
During the fourth generation, Minato + Kakashi + Jiraiya + Tsunade + Third Generation (Thanks to the netizens for pointing out the mistake, Kakashi has become famous after World War II at this time, Kai may not be able to open the dead door, but maybe, refer to his father and Xiao Li's situation, it seems impossible to draw a definite conclusion);
During the three generations (old age), Kakashi and Kai are familiar;
During the Five Dynasties period, it was enough to have Kai;
In the following period, the crown prince added two pillars, don't say anything, you all understand.
