The beginning and end of the Third Ninja World War

The beginning and end of the Third Ninja World War

Let's be clear first, when was Konoha established, and how many years was Naruto's graduation exam at the beginning of the manga? This is clearly stated in the canon: Naruto's graduation exam was in Konoha 60. If we go backwards from the era of the beginning of the manga, everything is said XX years ago, and it doesn't matter so much when Konoha was established. However, it is a little more convenient to have a starting year.

First of all, let's explore how the Third Ninja War ended: we first made it clear that Naruto Ninja School graduated at the age of 12 (manga chapter 1), so the Nine-Tails Rebellion on the day Naruto was born happened in Konoha 48. The Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out after the end of the Third Ninja War, from the Battle of Kannakun to the death of Rin to the end of the Fourth Ninja War, time has passed for about two years, and the Battle of Kannakun, Kakashi has just become a shinobi that is 12 years old. Kakashi was 14 years old at the time of the Hydra Rebellion. Then Kakashi was born in Konoha 34. So when did the Third Shinobi War end? Was it in Konoha '46, '47 or '48?

I think it was in Konoha 47 years. First of all, from the battle of Kannakun to the death of Lin, Obito recovered for a long time in Madara's crypt, and from the hedgehog head to the shawl and long hair (manga chapter 603), it took months to say the least. After that, he put on the whirlpool Bai Jue and failed to rescue Lin, and officially opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel. Later, he took Madara as his teacher, and Madara taught basically everything he could teach (Chapter 606). Again, it will take a while. After that, he took the soil to Yuyin Village to bewitch Nagato, and at this time he was still wearing a whirlpool white absolute (chapter 606), although he failed to bewitch because of Yahiko's relationship at the beginning. In the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he reverted to his mask and short hair style (Chapter 607), and in the manga, usually, the gap between these two events should not be short. Moreover, in Nagato's narration (Chapter 446), the three wars before Yahiko's death did not end completely. Rin's death is a conspiracy of the fog on the surface (chapter 629), and the fog is planned to let Lin, the three-tailed human pillar force attack Konoha by turning into a beast in Konoha tail, but secretly it is Madara's conspiracy (675), as for the matter of Madara and the three generations of water shadows, dig a pit first. At this time, Watergate is in other battlefields, do we have reason to think: Watergate is doing something very important? The only big thing I can imagine is - blocking Yunyin's AB brothers. In chapter 542 of the manga, the Watergate squad behaves strangely and receives a signal to retreat. It is true that the combat effectiveness of the AB brothers is quite high, but their opponent is Bo Feng Shuimen. The only reason I can think of is that the execution of the Watergate team is itself a suspicious soldier, and it is not the AB brothers that Konoha and his allies want to kill but others, and after the purpose is successful, they send a signal to the Watergate team to retreat. So who are they really targeting? That's the third generation of Thunder Shadow. Because of this, Watergate said to Ai at the time: "The next time we meet, it should be in the name of the shadow." After that, the memories of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow are also the funeral of the third generation of Thunder Shadow. So how did the third generation of Thunder Shadow, a macho man who beat all eight tails to exhaustion, die? Chapter 553 of the comic gives the answer: In order to cover the retreat of his companions, he fought for three days and three nights with one enemy and ten thousand. So who is his opponent? The manga doesn't say it explicitly, but from the background art, we can see that most of the opponents' costumes are from Iwakuin Village.

In chapter 583 of the manga, in Dou's memories, Danzo asks the shrine maiden to investigate: whether Iwakure has a large-scale battle plan. Is this large-scale battle plan the plan of Iwakure to trap the three generations of Lei? According to the Book of Formations, Dou was adopted by a shrine maiden 18 years before the Fourth Shinobi War, and Dou was 24 years old during the Fourth Shinobi War. And the Nine-Tails Rebellion was 16 years before Naruto took control of the Nine-Tails (Chapter 500), based on the above data, Dou was adopted by a shrine maiden in Konoha 46, which means that the Battle of Kikyo Mountain ended in Konoha 46. And after studying with the shrine maiden for a while, Orochimaru took a fancy to him, and then the medicine witch and Dou went to the battlefield as spies, and the shrine maiden got a large-scale battle plan for Iwakuin against Yunyin in Iwakure, and Konoha who learned of this plan planned to add fuel to the fire. So he sent the Watergate team to block the AB brothers, so that Iwain surrounded the three generations of Lei Ying. In Nagato's narration (Chapter 446), when Yahiko died, the three wars were not completely over. Yuyin is still reduced to the battlefield of the three great kingdoms of fire and earth. So, after the death of the three generations of Ray, the battle between the Land of Earth and the Fire Country did not end. But this is basically the final battle. None of the five major powers could afford to fight again. Perhaps, Hanzo's death was the final sound of the three wars.

Let's go back and think about the end of the Third Ninja War with another way of thinking, and let's try the post-war baby boom idea. Konoha Jiu Xiaoqiang was all born in Konoha 48, and Xiao Li was also born in November of Konoha 47. Therefore, the Third Ninja World War can basically be considered to have ended in Konoha 47.

From this point of view, in the supplementary animation of the Naruto game, before the battle of Kanna-kun, it is impossible for the pregnant Kushina to quarrel with Obito and others, unless Kushina has a miscarriage. That's why I'm reluctant to testify with animation.

So how did World War III begin? In chapter 266 of the manga, the elders of the sand hide say that because of the sudden disappearance of the third generation of the wind shadow, wars broke out. And in chapter 267, the old woman Chiyo said that the three generations of Kazekage disappeared more than ten years ago. And the chapter that rescued my Airo takes place roughly between Konoha 63 and 64. By the way, it should be noted that it took almost a year from Naruto's graduation exam to the end of the first part of the anime, and it took Naruto more than two years to practice with him. Sasuke's anti-water orochimaru came three years after Sasuke followed Orochimaru. The Fourth Shinobi War came four years after Naruto's graduation exam. That is, Naruto appeared at the age of 12, and Naruto was 16 at the end of the fourth battle. Let's talk about the start time of the Third Shinobi War. What Chiyo said more than ten years ago was based on the 63rd year of Konoha said, so the three wars were between the 43rd year of Konoha and the 47th year of Konoha . What year did the three wars begin?

The scorpion was 35 years old, and he made himself into a human puppet at the age of 15, which is the 43rd year of Konoha . In chapter 240 of the manga, aka Kakashi's Gaiden manga, Mizumon tells Obito about the cause of Hakuya's death, and Mizuto explicitly states that Hakuya died of gloom due to the failure of his mission five years ago. In this way, five years before Kakashi became a shinobi, there was a rather important mission, and the failure of this mission could cause a shadow-level player to be spurned by the villagers. Do we have reason to believe that this mission took place during the Great War, or in the early stages of the Great War, and that the failure of the mission caused Konoha to suffer heavy losses in the subsequent Great War. White Fang didn't realize the importance of this mission at the time, and it was likely that it happened in the early stages of the Great War.

Can we think of it this way, the rescue mission of Iairo was at the end of Konoha 62, and Chiyo meant 19 years ago by more than ten years ago. When Watergate said five years ago to Obito, he meant more than four years ago. Then the time is fixed in the 43rd year of Konoha, that is, the time when the scorpion made himself a human puppet.

To sum up, the Third Ninja War began in Konoha 43 and ended in Konoha 47, and the event that triggered the Third Ninja War was the Scorpion assassination of the three generations of Kazekage. As for whether the 15-year-old scorpion has the ability to quietly assassinate the third generation of the Kazekage, this is another question, and it should start with the Second Ninja World War. I'll dig a hole first. From Konoha 43 to Konoha 46, the only battles we know are the battle of Kikyo Mountain with Konoha and Sand, the battle between Konoha and Iwakure's Kannakun in Konoha 46, the battle of Konoha in 47 years with the death of Rin, the battle between Konoha and Yunyin's water gate against the AB brothers, the battle between the three generations of Thunder Shadow against 10,000 Iwakure ninjas, and the final battle of Yahiko's death. We can see that the Fire Nation has fought with the other four powers, and it basically ended in the victory of Konoha. From this point of view, the White Fang, who caused the Fire Nation to suffer heavy losses due to the failure of the mission, will indeed be greatly blamed. So what mission did White Fang perform in Konoha 43? Because of the failure, a shadow-level ninja actually received a full body of blame. Does it have something to do with his special status? Is it not a good situation for White Fang? And Maite Dai, as a 10,000-year-old ninja, how did he learn superb physical skills - Eight Gates Dunjia? And with this, he defeated the Ninja Sword Seven, making the Seven into a three? Dig a hole first, my guess is that it has something to do with the Uchiha Mirror.

Okay, let's add some speculation and review the beginning and end of the Third Ninja War as a whole:

In the 43rd year of Konoha, the scorpion assassinated three generations of Wind Shadow successfully, and the sand was in chaos. Iwakure attacks Sand Cakure. World War III broke out. At the same time, Konoha attacked Iwakure, and due to the failure of the White Fang mission, Konoha suffered huge losses. The water gate remedied, and at this point, Iwakushi had the order to withdraw from the battle when he encountered a golden flash.

In the 44th year of Konoha, the three major countries began a tug-of-war, and Yuyin Village became a battlefield, and Yahiko founded Akatsuki.

In the 45th year of Konoha, the Battle of Kikyo Mountain broke out in the two countries of Fire Wind. The white eyes that Qing got should be the eyes of a certain clan of Hinata that he got in the Third Ninja World War. As for the timing, I tend to be the first few years of the war. When Konoha has not yet won a victory on any side in a multi-front battle.

In the 46th year of Konoha, the Battle of Kikyo Mountain ended, and the Battle of Konoha and Sand Hide ended. Pocket into the orphanage. Iwakure sent a large number of ninjas to attack the Land of Fire, and the four generations of squads attacked Kannakun Bridge. The battle between Konoha and Iwakure is over. The Great War of the Three Kingdoms of Fire and Earth Wind ended, and there were sporadic small wars. The two countries of Tokaze are still at war, and Yahiko wants to negotiate peacefully.

In the 47th year of Konoha , due to the intelligence of the shrine maiden, Konoha learned that Iwakure was going to trap and kill the third generation of Thunder Shadow. Taking advantage of the Great War between the Two Kingdoms of Tokaze, the three generations of Thunder Shadow decided to attack the Land of Earth. In order to make Iwakure's plan successful, Konoha sends the Watergate team to harass Yunyin. As a result, the AB brothers did not accompany the three generations of Ray to attack the land of the earth. Iwakuin encircles the three generations of Thunder Shadow, and finds that it is a trap of the three generations of Thunder Shadow who died to cover the battle of his companions. When he learned that Mizumon couldn't pull away from the Yunyin battlefield, the third generation of Mizukage sent the ninja sword seven to attack Konoha and was stopped by Maite Dai. After that, Mizukage and Madara seal the Three Tails into Rin's body, and Madara sets a spell at Rin's heart. Obito sees Kakashi kill Rin and runs away. Brought to Yuyin Village to bewitch Nagato, and because he was dissatisfied with the end of the war, he planned the kidnapping of Konan and the death of Yahiko with Hanzo. Nagato went berserk and became the leader of Akatsuki. Nagato, who did not have Yahiko, was bewitched by Obito, and added a red cloud to Akatsuki's black robe, killing Hanzo. The Third Shinobi War is over.

The Third Shinobi War began with the death of Midaime Kazekage and ended with the death of Hanzo. During this period, three more generations of Thunder Shadow were killed, and the three generations of Mizukage may have died shortly after the end of the war. During the war, the Fire Nation fought with the other four major powers, but the only shadow-level ninja Konoha lost was Konoha White Fang, and the even more shining golden flash also grew, and it deserved to be the first great country. There are two people who were born during the war and will shine in the future: Itachi Uchiha and Deidara. The two countries of fire and earth where they are located are also the only two countries that have not changed their shadows after the war. So far, the strength echelons of the five major ninja villages have also been divided: Konoha deserves to be the first, Iwakuyun is in the second echelon, and Sand and Mist are in the third echelon.

The essence of the Battle of Kannakun Bridge during the Third World War was a surprise attack on the Iwa Shinobi logistics line by Bo Feng Shuimen and the Water Gate Squad, and his battle with the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow obviously occurred when he was about to take up the post of Hokage.

It should be noted that Iwa Shinobi sent two groups of troops to dry Konoha and Cloud Shinobi respectively: on one side, 10,000 ninjas killed the three generations of Thunder Shadow who used the Heavenly Sending Technique; On the other side, more than a thousand ninjas raided Konoha soil, and directly led to the ouster of the three generations of Hokage after the war.

Instead of directly confronting the raiding troops, Bo Feng Shuimen cut off the logistics line of this unit, which ultimately led to their defeat.

And who gave the intelligence of the logistics line? Yakushi Nonoyu.

I tend to fight against Iwa Shinobi and Sand Shinobi at the same time, as well as Cloud Shinobi during the Konoha III War.

The three generations of Hokage are in charge of the sand ninja, Danzo Orochimaru and Hanzo are in charge of the rock ninja, and Jiraiya Kaba Feng Shui Gate is in charge of the cloud ninja.

Three generations won the battle against the sand ninja, and then gave favorable conditions, so the sand ninja, who first launched a war against Konoha, allied with Konoha instead.

The battle against the Iwa Shinobi was very hard, and Orochimaru was also injured, and Danzou was forced to use means to force the "walking shrine maiden" out of the mountain.

Iwa Shinobi's two waves of raid troops directly led to a temporary truce between Yun Shinobi and Konoha, and then the three generations of Thunder Shadow Teleported Yun Shinobi and died in battle to gain time for the front-line troops to come back, and Bo Feng Shuimen rushed back to Konoha with the Flying Thunder God to block Iwa Shinobi's raiding troops head-on, and then infiltrated and destroyed their logistics line.

The battle between Bo Feng Shuimen and the four generations of Lei took place after Iwa Shinobi, Sand Shinobi, and after the truce with Konoha and before Bo Feng Shuimon himself became Hokage.

As for the time of Hanzo's death, I'm leaning towards the aftermath of the Uchiha Rebellion. Because it was only during that time that he could not get the help of his ally Tuanzang, because Tuanzang was under house arrest by the third generation. And Jiraiya didn't even know about the death of Sanshoyu Hanzo until Shippuden.

Yahiko's death must have occurred after the end of the Third Shinobi War, as Obito had met with Nagato early on and asked Nagato to carry out the Eye of the Moon plan with him.

Before the Wind, why did Obito live for more than ten years? Because at that time, he had been playing chess with Tuan Zang.

He lost the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the Uchiha rebelled against him and Danzo half and half,

He won first and then lost the battle for the power of the Fog Ninja Village, and he won a big victory in the battle for the power of the Rain Ninja Village.

In the end of Sasuke's battle, he finally killed Danzo.

This is the dark line on Uchiha Obito's body
