Johogakure

Village hidden in technology

The village of Johogakure is dubbed as the "village hidden in technology" because the village itself takes great pride in the technological advancements in their era. The majority of any technology was developed by the warring village of Johogakure, in efforts to better themselves or weaken their rival village, Chozogakure. Alongside the neutral village, Shikigakure, Johogakure has bargained treaties and deals with the medical-oriented village to produce equipment and tools to better serve the neutral village. Due to this, Johogakure shares a fragile but long-lasting neutrality with the village of Shikigakure.

Johogakure was the first of the three major villages to rise up. With the aid of several prominent clans, like the Uchiha- the nation became united under a single man, the Jokage. This man's name was Nerumu Uchiha, easily said to be the most powerful shinobi in history. Some would discredit him and say that his strength came from relying too much on his sharingan, but his real quality was uniting his people under a singular cause. This strong-willed leadership was what led to the village's early birth, far before the other two major nations.

As a member of the Uchiha clan though, most of his efforts were directed towards wiping out the Uchiha's hated rivals, the Senju. For a time, the whole village was united in rooting out the Senju clan and using them for various purposes. Some would even say in progressing the Jokage's own power in some ways. Of course this unified assault led the Senju to seek allegiance to the second major village, Chozogakure. The clan disputed took root inside these two new villages and sparked several wars. Ever since then, the village of Johogakure has constantly been at war with Chozogakure, albeit more mildly within the last two generations. Skirmishes between the two villages have been the most recent hostilities.

The most notable event between these two villages was what is famously known as the "One Year War". Three generations ago, just after Nerumu Uchiha's death, Chozogakure saw weakness in Johogakure. This assumed weakness turned into a full blown war between the villages, where they waged war in the neutral lands between the two nations. Many shinobi from both sides died, but worse- the majority of rural and peaceful villages, their people and even the animals were massacred. That is to say, the war between the two villages ravaged the neutral lands between their borders. It is called the One Year War because the survivors of that war, can recall mounds of countless bodies. The neutral lands between the two villages still hold much hostility towards both villages.

Geography

Johogakure's region is somewhat akin to that of Shikigakure's, full of forests and swamps. Johogakure possesses many fertile fields however, the effects of many generations of cutting down forests to further their agricultural and technological advances. Although Johogakure is considered the third and smallest of nations and landmass, they are arguably the richest in terns of farms and industries. Unlike Shikigakure however, Johogakure has realized the potential of the sea. The place known as Obsidian Port is a small village built by Johogakure for the purpose of exports and imports, as well as a naval fleet. Though the village has a long history of fighting pirates as well.
