BOOZE CRUISE (Mad Caddies)
We hit the road
We had ten hours left on our drive
Level of sanity going out the window
Who knows what lays ahead
And all I see is the endless headlights flying away
You're sick of me
I'm sick of you
Let's cool off and just talk this one through
To turn around
To walk away
You'll be leaving but I'll be here to stay
One way to go
The direction undetermined
Rand McNally goes flying out the window
With empty bottles and broken spirits
The endless headlights are flying away
You're sick of me
I'm sick of you
Let's cool off and just talk this one through
To turn around
To walk away
You'll be leaving but I'll be here to stay
When I was younger
I leapt at the chance
Now that I'm older I wonder
If I had it to do all over again
Would I do anything different
Way too much time
And bullshit on my mind
I feel like I'm falling to pieces
The smoke surrounds your head
You don't wanna be there
I can hear you when you're falling
You're sick of me
I'm sick of you
Let's cool off and just talk this one through
To turn around
To walk away
You'll be leaving but I'll be here to stay
We had ten hours left on our drive
Level of sanity going out the window
Who knows what lays ahead
And all I see is the endless headlights flying away
You're sick of me
I'm sick of you
Let's cool off and just talk this one through
To turn around
To walk away
You'll be leaving but I'll be here to stay
One way to go
The direction undetermined
Rand McNally goes flying out the window

KAGE
A Kage (影; Literally meaning "Shadow") is the leader of one of the five most powe
rful Hidden Villages and generally are also the most powerful ninja in their respective villages. If a Kage has held their position for several decades, as was the case with the Third Hokage, younger ninja are likely to have become stronger than they are. In such cases, the Kage may retire and give the title to someone else; the title, once granted, is held permanently. This creates a case where there are two Kage at the same time, with only one of them actually active, as it was with the Third and Fourth Hokage. After the Fourth died, the Third came out of retirement.
The Kage stand equally with the rulers of their countries, oversee the activities of their villages, and are the leaders of ninja society. They typically are the ones who send the ninja teams out on their missions and make the decisions regarding the safety of the village. The five Kage are:
- The Hokage (火影; Literally meaning "Fire Shadow") of Konohagakure.
- The Kazekage (風影; Literally meaning "Wind Shadow") of Sunagakure.
- The Mizukage (水影; Literally meaning "Water Shadow") of Kirigakure.
- The Raikage (雷影; Literally meaning "Lightning Shadow") of Kumogakure.
- The Tsuchikage (土影; Literally meaning "Earth Shadow") of Iwagakure.
Other ninja villages may be led by Kage-level ninja, but the villages themselves have not earned enough recognition to be allowed to use the rank. Examples include Orochimaru of Otogakure and Hanzo or Pain of Amegakure. Hoshigakure has unofficially dubbed each of its leaders the Hoshikage.

KONOHA'S HISTORY
The Birth of Konohagakure and Madara's Revolt
Before Konoha was found, shinobi were merely individual clans working as mercenaries for various daimyo. Of the countless ninja clans, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan of the forest were the strongest at the time. After much bloodshed, the Senju clan offered a truce with the Uchiha. Despite their leader, Madara Uchiha's protests, the clan overruled him and he reluctantly agreed. Thus the Hidden Leaf Village was born. Soon, other countries began to adopt this system, leading to the birth of other villages, and peace was attained. However, when the leader of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju, was chosen to be the leader of Konoha, Madara decided to challenge him for the sake of his clan. No Uchiha, however, would help him, for they despised him for trying to reignite the flames of war. Betrayed by everyone, Madara left the village so that he could challenge Hashirama by himself.
During their legendary battle at the Valley of the End, Madara was defeated and presumed killed, and was thereafter lost to history. Hashirama's younger brother, who became the Second Hokage, formed the Konoha Police Force and gave it to the Uchiha clan as a way to prevent them from entering the governing of the village and to keep them in check (though he made it look like handing them a symbol of trust), in order to prevent another revolt like Madara's. Some Uchiha clan members, who figured out this gesture's ulterior motive, began to rebel like Madara did. However, it was too late; the Senju clan became superior in the entire village, and the Uchiha clan was discriminated and secluded, just as Madara predicted. It is this grudge that led to Uchiha clan's attempted coup d'état decades later, and eventually, their demise.
Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Attack
Twelve years before the start of the series, after the end of the Third Great Shinobi War, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the village of Konohagakure. Nobody in the village was able to stop the fox until Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, arrived to seal the fox into his newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki. The village suffered heavy casualties during the attack, such that few of the villagers would forgive Naruto (who they viewed as the fox) for its actions.
Though the demon fox had attacked many settlements regularly throughout history for no apparent reason, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Itachi Uchiha speculate that Madara Uchiha was behind the attack on Konoha. Madara denies this, however, Minato claims to have fought him on the night of the attack.
In the anime, the fox is revealed to have left behind large amounts of its chakra during the attack that, when gathered by Kazuma, allowed him to turn Sora into a Pseudo-Jinchūriki.
The Hyuga Incident
Nine years prior to the start of the series, Konoha and Kumogakure made a peace treaty with each other. To sign the treaty, Kumo sent a Head Ninja as the ambassador. However, during the night, the head ninja snuck into the Hyuga district of Konoha and tried to kidnap Hinata, Hiashi Hyuga's daughter, to steal the secrets of the Byakugan. Hiashi killed him before he could get away. However, Kumo denied having any part in the kidnapping; In fact, they wanted compensation for the death of their comrade. Hiashi was prepared to die but his brother, Hizashi, took his place to make up for his sins against him.
Uchiha Clan Revolt
The Uchiha Clan Massacre is an event that took place 5 years prior to the Naruto plot. Itachi Uchiha and Madara Uchiha killed their entire clan in a single night using their Mangekyo Sharingans. For previously unknown reasons, they spared Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha. Later, Itachi states that his reason for killing his entire family was to make Sasuke hate him and want to kill Itachi. This would eventually lead Sasuke to try and gain the Mangekyo Sharingan for power, which is exactly what Itachi wanted. By doing so, Itachi would take Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan eyes and replace them with his own failing ones, just like Madara Uchiha did. However, Madara later claims that the reason for this was to protect Sasuke, and that he does so on the orders of the Konoha village leaders Hiruzen Sarutobi (the Third Hokage), Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and Danzo), who had learned that the Uchiha were planning a coup de'tat. Hiruzen disapproved of the Massacre but the other 3 Elders overruled him. When Sasuke first hears this, he says that Madara is lying to him. After he accepts the truth, Sasuke wants to go and just kill the elders, but then changes his mind to wipe out the entire village.
Oto and Suna Invasion
Twelve years after the demon fox attack, Konoha held a relatively standard Chunin Exam until Orochimaru, a former ninja of Konoha, attacked the Third and initiated Otogakure and Sunagakure's invasion of Konoha. Konoha was able to repel and/or kill all enemy shinobi at the expense of the Third Hokage's life.
Pain's Invasion
A few years after the Sand and Sound's failed invasion, Pain of Akatsuki attacked the village in search of Naruto Uzumaki. In the course of his search most of the village was destroyed.

Konoha's Hokage
The Hokage (火影; Literally meaning "Fire Shadow") are the leaders of Konoha. They are generally the strongest in the village, although ideology and renown plays a large part in their being chosen for the position.
Four shinobi and one kunoichi have gained this title so far.
After being appointed, they are given the Hokage mansion in which to live and have their faces carved out in the stone wall behind it. Only four faces were originally carved into the wall but, at the beginning of Part II, all five Hokages are present.
LIST OF HOKAGES
First Hokage
Hashirama Senju (千手柱間, Senju Hashirama), the First Hokage (初代火影, Shodai Hokage; Literally meaning "First or Founding Fire Shadow"), was the founder of Konoha, the older brother of Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, and the grandfather of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, and Nawaki.
Second Hokage
Tobirama Senju (千手扉間, Senju Tobirama), the Second Hokage (二代目火影, Nidaime Hokage; Literally meaning "Second Fire Shadow") is the younger brother of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, and the granduncle of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, and Nawaki.
Third Hokage
Hiruzen Sarutobi (猿飛ヒルゼン, Sarutobi Hiruzen) was the Third Hokage (三代目火影, Sandaime Hokage; Literally meaning "Third Fire Shadow"). He was the student of the first two Hokages, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, and the teacher of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.
Fourth Hokage
Minato Namikaze (波風 ミナト, Namikaze Minato), also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō), was the Fourth Hokage (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage) and the father of Naruto Uzumaki. He was the student of Jiraiya and the teacher of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin. 
Fifth Hokage
Tsunade (綱手) is the Fifth and present Hokage of Konohagakure. She took over after Hiruzen Sarutobi died. Along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya, she is one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and currently the only one still alive after Jiraiya's death and Orochimaru permanently sealed. She excels in medical ninjutsu.

My Curse
(Killswitch Engage)
I watched you walk away
Helpless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again
This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be there?
Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you
This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the needing)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again
Dying, inside, these walls (2x)
And I see your face in these tears, In these fears
And I see your face...
There is love (8x)
I watched you walk away
Helpless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again
This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be there?
Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you
This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the needing)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again
Dying, inside, these walls (2x)
And I see your face in these tears, In these fears
And I see your face...
There is love (8x)
