In Naruto, there are several ninja villages which is the residence of powerful ninjas. The village was created after an era of upheaval between ninja clans who fought each other for power.
The people who first created the village were Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha who agreed to establish the village of Konoha to stop wars between clans. They founded the village so that the children would no longer have to go to war.
