Talk:Five Great Shinobi Countries

Last Paragraph
I took out the last paragraph because as revealed in the latest fanbook Kumogakure is the strongest with Konoha barely being the third or fourth strongest, the fanbook also showed that they aren't even in power with the strongest village surpassing the weakest by a lot and not "just barely" and finally the last paragraph also claims that Konoha stop being the strongest village after Pain's invasion but it is never stated when konoha became weaker and it seems unlikely that the cause was Pain's invasion because in the end they were no casualties and reconstruction is going fine unlike the Suna/Oto invasion were they clearly stated that they were having problems because many strong ninjas died and they were short handed.


 * Actually, the Second Fanbook does claim that Konoha was severely weakened during Pain's invasion and that is was the strongest village before that. --ShounenSuki (talk 13:29, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's a matter of economics really. Invasion of Konoha left the village with less ninja, a crap ton of repair bills, and a dead Hokage. The Invasion of Pain left the village with a giant crater and a comatose Hokage. That kind of crap three years close to each other builds up. The Invasion of Pain was probably the straw that finally broke the villages back.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:59, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * While it may be true that the Pain invasion weakened konoha(sorry didn't know) I really doubt that they stop being the strongest village after that invasion, when the oto/suna invasion was more destructive and claiming that konoha is the strongest just because its the main village is kind of fanboyish but I do agree that they do seem to be the most influential.--Masgrande (talk) 13:17, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
