Naruto's Konoha village has been the home to some of the very strongest shinobi in the entire series. While the other shinobi villages have also seen the rise and fall of various mighty characters, Konohagakure has always been special in this regard, possibly because the strongest of clans joined this village after the Warring States Era. Among all the special shinobi, the Hokage have stood out the most over the years, and in the history of Konohagakure, one particular shinobi is widely renowned as "The Hero" who saved them from the wrath of the Nine-Tails; Minato Namikaze.
