Hidden files of fierce battles, now revealed—— The Shinobi World War Secret Files 

—The Shinobi World Wars— ——それは忍の世でもっとも罪深き血塗られた戦いの歴史…!!

↓忍界大戦はまさに地獄!!生き残った忍達にも、多大なる影響を及ぼした…!! [picture of Itachi amongst the destruction caused by SWWIII]

„忍び五大国”の誕生以来、約60年. 忍達の戦いの歴史は繰り返されてきた. 中でも忍界全土を巻き込み、多大な戦死者を出した戦いが„忍界大戦”である. 過去三度勃発した大戦では、各国の隠れ里が持てる力を総結集. 夥しい数の屍の上に今の安定は築かれたのだ.

忍び五大国の争いは忍界全てに波乱を呼ぶ!!

忍界大戦の中心となったのは、„忍び五大国”と呼ばれる、膨大な資金と資源を持つ国々. 各隠れ里は大国からの金銭・物資などの経済支援と引き換えに、軍事力として全線で戦った. 忍界において、五大国の影響力は絶大で、大国の思惑が全ての国や人々に波及する. 特に大国の援助の無い里は、戦争での疲弊が激しく、侵略者の略奪行為で、被害は民間にも及んだ.

(The Second Shinobi World War)

第一次忍界大戦で大きな痛手を受けた忍び五大国は、休戦条約を締結. 一時の平和が訪れた. だが終戦より約20年、国家間の経済格差は深刻化し、„公平なる利権拡大”を理由に、各国で武闘派が台頭. 武力行使による領土拡大が進められた. 凄惨なる第二次忍界大戦の始まりである.

(The Third Shinobi World War)

第二次忍界大戦で受けた被害は、各国にとって甚大なものだった. 国力が低下した五大国の統治は揺らぎ、国境付近で小国を巻き込んでの小競り合いが続いた. 長引く戦いは、次第に戦火を広げ、ついに第三次忍界大戦へと発展. 未曾有の消耗戦となったこの戦いでは、各国とも戦力不足に悩まされた. 大国である木ノ葉も例外ではなく、幼き少年達も戦場へ投入され、儚き命を散らしたのだ.

//Many shinobi organisations were also created…!!

大戦中、独自に武力を集め、忍組織を結成する者達も現れた. 彼らは拮抗する戦いの中で貴重な戦力として重宝されたが、過ぎた力は危険視され、抹殺されることも….

The shinobi who did the best during the wars would be remembered as 'heroes'.

● Hero biography 1 [Konoha's Yellow Flash] …Minato Namikaze

[picture of Minato saving Kakashi while tagging Mahiru] ↑→His high-speed battle techniques, based on 'space–time ninjutsu', could not be seen through, even by skilled shinobi. [picture of Minato about to kill Mahiru]

● Hero biography 2 [Konoha's White Fang] …Sakumo Hatake

→He was such a powerful man that it was said that even the 'Legendary Sannin' paled before him. He is Kakashi's father. [picture of Sakumo]

● Hero biography 3 [Hanzō of the Salamander]

→The head of the old Amegakure. Clear-headed and with many techniques under his control, his name was known throughout the shinobi world!! [picture of Hanzō]

The world before the shinobi world wars

Before the establishment of the hidden villages, there was an era of unending conflict, called the 'Warring States Period'. During this time, shinobi organisations were little more than armed groups based on clans. The countries, intent on expanding their interests and territory, employed them individually, causing war everyone to go on and on…!!

[picture of a blood-spattered map] ↑More than eighty years ago, the world was in chaos.

The mystery-ridden First Shinobi World War

The 'First Shinobi World War' was the first great war after the Five Great Shinobi Countries were established. Because the outbreak of the war had thrown the entire shinobi world back into chaos, there are only few records concerning the war. One thing is certain: after the war, many tactics were born from the experiences of the war. These form the foundation of current battles…!!

→The shinobi killed in the line of duty during the war had their names inscribed on the memorial stone as heroes.
