hidden village

Concealed rural community

A hidden village is a secretive settlement concealed from outsiders, often in remote or difficult terrain.

The term appears in fantasy and folklore—communities of elves, ninjas, or outcasts living apart from the wider world.

In the anime *Naruto*, hidden villages are ninja settlements that train warriors and guard their locations: He dreamed of becoming the strongest ninja in his hidden village.
