How old is Konoha?


As mentioned in the comments, Konoha was founded by Hashirama Senju and Madara
Uchiha. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact age of Konoha. According to
[Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konohagakure), Konoha was founded
right after the Warring States Period. The Warring States Period being a time
when the countries of the world were uniformly small, constantly battling each
other for land, power, and opportunity. During this period, the Senju and the
Uchiha emerged as the strongest clans. The war was ended after the two clans
united. However, we do not know any concrete chronological information of that
period.

The age can be estimated though, guessing at ages of all the Kages all the way
back to Hashirama Senju. The wiki doesn't seem to provide and accurate account
of the ages of the Kages or the village either. I believe that is just as
close as we can get to it.

My guess is, it has to be around 150 years if not a little more than that.
Adding up ages of the Third (he died while serving) and a few years from the
life of the Second (he was already an adult when Konoha was found) should make
roughly a 100 years. Adding up Naruto's age and all, it should add another few
years but not more than a 50 (just a guess). So the village should be more
than a 100 years and less than 150 years old.

Konoha was founded during the warring clan era by Hashirama and Madara. Now,
to have the power and get acknowledged by the other clans to create Konoha,
they have to have been somewhere between age 25 to 35. Hashirama's brother,
the 2nd Hokage, would have been around the same age too.

In a flashback, we can see that the 2nd Hokage was just around 30 years old
when he was killed by the Gold and Silver brothers.

And the 3rd Hokage has been his disciple since being a genin. From this, we
can say that Konoha was created just around the same time as when the 3rd
hokage was born.

And he was 68, I think, when he was killed by the Snake sennin. Add another 30
years when Boruto takes place.

In short:

  * Add some 5 years for the 1st Hokage's term.
  * Add another 5 years for 2nd Hokage's term.
  * Add around 55 years for 3rd Hokage's term.
  * And another 5 years for 4th Hokage's term.
  * (Start of canon) add 13 years till Naruto is gennin
  * Then add 3 years for the time skip
  * ( _Naruto Shippuden_ starts) Then add 30 years for the skip to when Boruto takes place.

So totally Konoha is around 110 years old.

As other answers have stated, we do not know enough of the entire history to
pinpoint exactly how old Konoha is, but we do know some time frames to narrow
it down. It would appear Konoha is younger than it appears, and I would say
Konoha is no more than 80 years old in Shippūden and barely 100 years old in
the Boruto series.

These timelines are not 100% accurate due to guesstimating, but they’re pretty
close in regards to the entire timeline as a whole and all 3 points of view
line up to support each other.

# Hashirama and Tsunade

Hashirama died during the [First Shinobi
War](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/First_Shinobi_World_War), which occurred not
long after the founding of [Konoha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konohagakure)

> The war started not long after the system of one shinobi village per country
> was established by the founding of Konohagakure after the Warring States
> Period.

and

Ok, we have a start. All it says is "not long", so I would put this time
period no more than a few years. During the period of the Warring Ages and the
First Shinobi War, as shown in Chapter 619, Hashirama was alive when Tsunade
was very little. I would say she is roughly 6 years old at this point.

[![enter image description
here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/9TlWCl.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/9TlWCl.png)

**At this point, Konoha is ~10 years old.**

Next comes the [Second Shinobi World
War](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Shinobi_World_War), taking place 20
years after the [First Shinobi World
War](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/First_Shinobi_World_War) ended.

> Even then, the peace only lasted another twenty years until the Second
> Shinobi World War erupted.

Based on the First War's wiki, the final moments of the war mimicked the
actual World War I, which leads me to assume the First Shinobi War lasted 4
years.

If we account for that timeframe, this puts Tsunade at ~30 years old during
the events of the Second Shinobi War.

**At this point, Konoha is ~34 years old.**

We do not know much about the events between the Second Shinobi War and Third
Shinobi Wars, but if we skip ahead the beginning of the series,
[Tsunade](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tsunade) is stated to be 51 years old;
55 in Shippūden. This is roughly a ~25 year time skip

**At this point, Konoha is ~59 years old.**

# Hiruzen Sarutobi

The Sarutobi clan was one of the first clans to settle in the newly founded
Konoha, to which [Hiruzen](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiruzen_Sarutobi) was
one of the first generations to come it and even be trained by the First
Hokage himself.

> The Sarutobi clan was one of the first clans to settle in the newly-created
> Konohagakure
>
> Hiruzen was part of the first generation of ninja produced by Konoha
>
> Hiruzen early on displayed prodigious talent in the ninja arts, earning him
> additional training from Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage

This means Hiruzen was alive, but young during the founding of Konoha. Using
the same deduction as earlier, Konoha is ~10 years old at the start of the
First Shinobi World War and during this war,
[Hiruzen](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiruzen_Sarutobi) is appointed to be
the 3rd Hokage by the 2nd Hokage.

> Tobirama volunteered himself instead, and before going to his death he
> appointed Hiruzen as Third Hokage

Furthermore, based on his wiki, Hiruzen was 68 years of age at the start of
the series, which is 17 years older than Tsunade at the start of the series.
Based on the guessimated age of Tsudande from the above, Hiruzen is only 23
years old during the First Shinobi World War, which (again) starts not very
long after the found of Konoha.

At the time of Hiruzen's death, it is stated that he is 69 years of age, which
leads to the assumption that he maintained a life of 46 years after being
appointed as the 3rd Hokage.

If we add the starting ~10 year span at the beginning, **Konoha is ~56 years
old.**

# Kakuzu

[Kakuzu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakuzu) is the oldest known shinobi who
age is known at a whopping 91.

> **Age** \- Part II: 91
>
> **Trivia** : Kakuzu is the oldest shinobi whose age is known.

Kakuzu originated from the village
[Takigakure](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Takigakure), and during the founding
of the villages, he was sent to assassinate Hashirama.

> Around the time of the village's formation, the village tasked Kakuzu with
> assassinating Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage

Given how Hashirama was a high valued target, it’s likely Takigakure sent
somebody they could count on; somebody older and more experienced. I guess
Kakuzu was 20 - 40 years old. Since Kakuzu was killed at the age of 91, and
having fought Hashirama around the time of the villages’s founding,

**This puts the timeframe of Kakuzu’s battle with Hashirama and Kakuzus death
anywhere between 50 - 70 years.**
