The headband, also known as Hitai-ate, is a forehead protector that consists of a metal plate and a band of cloth wrapped around it. The majority of shinobi are known to don protective headgear that is emblazoned with the crest of their hidden village. The display of tribal allegiance and honor through the donning of a forehead guard is traditional. Because they consider it to be an important and honorable part of their tradition, They wear it at all times, but especially when they are engaging in combat with one another.
By examining the symbols that are displayed on a ninja's headband, one can determine the location of the ninja's home village. For instance, Naruto is originally from the town of Hidden Leaf, which is also referred to as Konoha. Therefore, the Leaf symbol that he wears on his headband makes perfect sense. The names of the citizens of the town are not actually written down; rather, they are represented by symbols that are themselves stylized forms of the names. The village of Konohagakure is symbolized by a stylized leaf, while the village of Sunagakure is represented by an hourglass, and so on.
Why is there a scratch on Itachi's headband?
It didn't take long for the slashed headband to be recognized as a telltale sign of a renegade Shinobi in any village or nation. This symbol serves as a constant reminder of their origins, despite the fact that they no longer reside in the town in which they were born and raised. Many renegade ninjas, particularly those working for the Akatsuki, will wear a forehead protector with the symbol of their former village erased from it as a sign that they no longer belong to that village. This is especially true of those people who work for the Akatsuki.
What does Jiraiya's headband mean?
A few of the characters choose to use special headbands. Jiraiya, for example, chooses to support the Toads of Mount Myoboku by donning a headband bearing the inscription "Oil" rather than the standard Konoha leaf design to show his affiliation to the Toads. After the conclusion of the Third Great Ninja War, Jiraya was required to retire officially from his position as a leaf shinobi. So, he is no longer required to wear the leaf headband. Shinobi are given a headband to wear as a badge of honor upon being hired by a given village. Shadow shinobi, such as Jiraiya, did not have a propensity to remain in one place for an extended period, not even in Konoha. In this way, it appears as though he can make the most of any business opportunity that may arise in any town. Looking at his childhood and youth, we can see that he was wearing Konoha's headband.
Why do all the members of Akatsuki have cut on their headbands?
Just like in Itachi's case, their headband shows that they are rogue ninjas. Although the villages where they were born and grew up are clear, they actually cut off their ties with them.
Why doesn't Naruto wear a headband in Boruto?
In the new Boruto series, Naruto no longer wears a headband. But this has nothing to do with being a hokage. Shinobi can sometimes use the headband as an accessory or as additional protection in times of war. In the past, we can see many hokage without a headband. For example, hashirama wears a headband during wartime and appears without a headband at other times, the same is true for hiruzen. On the other hand, we almost always see Tobirama with a headband. So there is no definite rule about this.
