How old is konoha?

[Assassin]

well, in 69 we learn that the first 2 hokage's were brothers, and they created the leafe village.......now they must have been atleast 20-30 when they created the village.....and it seems they died young, maybe 40-45....50 at most. and the next hokage was, sarutobi-san. and he must have been atleast 20-25 when he became hokage.


so thats like 25 years for the first 2 hokage's and mayb another 40 (50 at most) years for the 3rd......can it b that konoha's not even a century old?

for the biggest/most powerful village out there, thats pretty young. i would've thought it was atleast 100-150 years old.

ur pretty much right. i would say like 80 years or so.

thats what i think

who knows how old the other villages are. konoha just happened to have the strongest ninjas who became hokages.

the thing is i think the other villages were formed after konoha b/c y didnt like the hidden village of mist become hokage. so i think all the villages are less then 100 yrs old.

I didn&#39;t see it any where in episode 69 saying they were brothers.

[Assassin]

one of the anbu guys says it.....something like &quot;the brothers that created the leaf village&quot; or something like that. im sure its in there though, cuz thats the only way i would know about it.

[rEkKaShInObI]

*looks confused*

I&#39;d say about a good 60 some?

Not in the Anbu/aone version, but it doesn&#39;t really matter I guess.

[Krbadass]

Why does it matter? ( no offense but just wondering why in the world it matters )

[Hatake Kakashi]

I think that saying that they were brothers was just a translation error in the early manga scanslations. The ANBU doesn&#39;t say anything about that. Hokage himself said something in the manga like, &quot;Who would have thought, I would meet you two brothers here&quot;. He could have met that all 3 of them were &quot;brothers&quot;. Like all of them were Hokages. ANBU-Aone&#39;s version never said anything about them being brothers. I don&#39;t think they are myself.



It should be more like 90 or 100.

u mean the topic?

lol, it matters for the same reason &quot;who&#39;s the most stylish girl&quot; matters, or &quot;who would win btwn gama bunta and kyubi&quot; matters

just somehting that strikes me as odd......i think somewhere along the line they said that konoha had the biggest army (think it was when we learned about the sands plan....when we first saw kazekage) so i just wondered how that could be if they were still so &quot;young&quot;.

oh i c....cuz i watched the bakasan version. hmmm, so what did they translate that as in the anbu/aone version?

[TeLeKiNeSiS]

mm they arent brothers...just that those two are given credit for building up konoha to the way it is now.

[TwisT]

No they was not brothers.. Or was they??? I did not see anything in 69 that said that..


But i have not seen anywhere that 2nd would be brother with the 1st.. Then it would be a major Hokage family..

[Krbadass]

Those topics where deleted or closed or something... which brings me back to, why does it matter. =P

[Hatake Kakashi]

Twist - Do you even read the manga?

Those spoilers don&#39;t even need to be highlighed because they are all wrong.

The first part is almost right, but the second isn&#39;t, go actually read the manga instead of going by hearsay.

[Krbadass]

Or just don&#39;t even post spoilers period.

[Assassin]

lol, ok then, it matters cuz i make it matter.

anyway, the brothers thing was my mistake then.....it actually did seem pretty wierd that they would b brothers, but i just figured thats the way it was.

well now, that makes more sense.....add another 40 years for the second hokage, and konoha seems almost old enuff. though now im wondering when the other villages were created......and how exactly do u &quot;create&quot; ur own village. do u just have alot of sex and hope for the best?

[TwisT]

ok ok.. I just hade seen many ppl posting spoilers with spoiler color and getting away with it so i touth that it was ok as long as i posted it in spoiler tags..

And yes i do read the manga and thats the reason i said what i said.. but if i have got something wrong i will soon find out sens i have begun to re-read the manga again..

[Hatake Kakashi]

Well you are way off, so better read them again. Go back and delete your spoilers so you don&#39;t confuse people that look at those. What you said in the second part is IMPOSSIBLE.

[TwisT]

I was going to but Krbadass had already done it for me

[Krbadass]

No more talk about the manga please.

[XwingRob]

I&#39;m guessing Konoha and other hidden villages were formed to fight in the Ninja Wars, and then kept around afterwards to keep the peace. Edit: And to fight new ones.
