Konohagakure is the strongest of all the shinobi villages in Naruto. Ever since its creation by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha’s joint effort, the village has seen the rise of some of the most incredible shinobi. Many of these individuals aimed to become the Hokage as well — that is, the village leader and the strongest shinobi in Konohagakure.
Some succeeded, thanks to possessing tremendous power and their ability to embody the Will of Fire. However, others simply couldn’t accomplish the task. These characters, while quite capable, will forever be remembered for their failure to become the Hokage of Konohagakure despite all their attempts.
