Kaedahagakure



Hantogakure or The Hidden Peninsula Village is a shinobi village located within the Land of Valleys. Hantogakure was founded some 20 years after the formation of Konohagakure. The village does not have a kage, due to the fact that they are not one of the Great 5 nations, instead they have a Head Ninja who is elected by the village elders. However, some shinobi within the village has started to call their recent head ninja as Hantokage. Hantogakure has not engaged in massive military combat because they are located far away from the 5 Great Nations. However, in recent years the village has come under sporadic attacks from The Village Hidden Amongst the Highlands.

CREATION
Hantogakure was first created by a group of wondering shonobi who was escaping from another group of shinobi. The founders of the village decided to make a last stand at the place that would become the villages' centre. Miraculously through good military strategy utilizing the surrounding environment and landscape, the initial villagers managed to survive. Soon after the village was founded, many ninja families decided to make Hantogakure their permanent home for fear that other more powerful ninja clans will wipe them out.

MILITARY
DEFENSE Hantogakure is protected by the natural landscape which surrounds it, which is the two valleys that surrounds the village;making only a single path that leads into village.Within the valley, the village's administration built bunkers as well as walls that are built within the valley itself. Besides that, the villages' back is faced against a huge river; making it the village inaccessible from the back and impossible to get into it.This natural defenses makes the village almost impossible to attack by conventional means. The village also has numerous underground caverns that also can be used as bunkers.

SHINOBI FORCE Like most villages Hantogakure's shinobi structure is devided into Academy Students, Genin, Chuunin, Jounin/Special Jounin. To advance in rank a shinobi must undergo certain test to test whether they deserved to be promoted to the next level.

Hantogakure also possesses a local police force, called the Hantogakure Police Division. Membership into the police force is only reserved for shinobi who are Chuunin and higher. However, there are certain circumstances that warrants a Genin's membership into the police force. The police force only duty is to maintain order within the villages' walls and help in evacuation during emergency. The head of the police force is the Commissioner who answers to the head ninja and the village elders.
