Edagakure

Edagakure (山隠れの里, Yamagakure no Sato; English TV "Village Hidden in the Branches", "Hidden Branch Village"; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Branches".)

History
Like many hidden villages, Edagakure was founded shortly after the end of the Warring States Period by Otakebi who defeated and gathered all of the Island's shinobi tribes under his rule. After subjugating the island's country's shinobi, Otakebi and his followers settled near the center of the island and built Edagakure high in the trees. Otakebi however faced many assassination attempts, though all of them failed and in response, proclaimed that anyone who could defeat him would be leader of Edagakure, setting up the tradition that continues to the modern day of defeating the current leader to become to next.
