The Fourth Great Ninja War
1. The Build-Up to the War
a. The Akatsuki’s Ambitions
The cause of the Fourth Great Ninja War was set very early on, which involved actions taken by *Akatsuki* and its head *Nagato (Pain). In the Akatsuki ‘s plans to attain all Biju, they wanted to set the entire world in the *Infinite Tsukuyomi*, a genjutsu that would capture the world.
The story takes an interesting turn after *Pain’s invasion of Konoha but right after Naruto’s victory over Pain and the subsequent Absorption of Akatsuki’s secret plans exposes the truth it equally appears to promise some stability. However, true opponent, the mysterious mastermind behind Akatsuki and all the organisation really stands for, Tobi, was still around. **Obito Uchiha*, dressed as Tobi*, controls the actions that bring about the Fourth Great Ninja War.
b. Tobi’s Plan
Obito as Tobi was pulling the string to bring *Madara Uchiha, the legendary former head of the Uchiha family. Obito’s overall objective was to make the **Infinite Tsukuyomi*, which would imprision the entire world in another dream —one in which they would be free from suffering but are not allowed to exercise free will.
To do this, Obito require all the *nine Tailed Beasts* and to break the seal thereby releasing the full power of the *Ten Tails* (Jūbi).
2. A brief rant on theIndustrial world’s Allied Shinobi Forces and how they were formed
Afterwards, the Fourth Great Ninja War starts *by Tobi (Obito) and Madara Uchiha* which attack the whole world. In order to combat this threat to their existence the five great ninja countries which are *Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village), ** ****, **Kiri (Hidden Mist Village), *Iwa (Hidden Stone Village) and *Kumo (Hidden Cloud Village) come together to form the *Allied Shinobi Forces* popularly known as the *Alliance*.

The formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces is spearheaded by the *Five Kage*:
*Tsunade Senju, the **Fifth Hokage** of the Konoha.
*Gaara the **Fifth Kazekage** of Suna.

They all have their reasons and stories but the general driving force is to stop the wipe out of the whole ninja world.
3. The War Begins: About the Battle with the Zetsu Army
The Fourth Great Ninja War is said officially to start with the *Zetsu army*, which included both **Black Zetsu* (the alter ego of Obito) and *White Zetsu* and *the Edo Tensei (Reincarnation of the Dead)*- revived ninjas.
a. There is one known in English as The Edo Tensei Resurrections.
One of the first challenges faced by the Allied Shinobi Forces is the revival of key figures from the past, including:
*Madara Uchiha*, who were immune from death to be resurrected by **Kabuto Yakushi** through the Forbidden *Edo Tensei* which includes resurrecting dead individuals.
*The leaders of the Uchiha clan like **Itachi Uchiha, **Sasori, **Deidara, **Hidan, **Kisame and others are also revived though some of them like **Itachi* played very important role in the events of the war.
Over the course of the war, the Allies Shinobi Forces encounter a number of difficulties in engaging these resurrected enemies, who all have impressive supernatural powers which challenge the wit, might, and cooperation of the Shinobi Alliance.
4. The Key Battles of the Fourth Great Ninja War
a. *I Shanta fosse a tancre del l’Inghiltera chiamata Il Minute con l’invasione della terra dell’ferro * This is the first battle of the war on the international level, while the Allied Shinobi Forces begin reconnaissance for full-scale battles.
b. *The Jinchuriki Battles*
As one of the largest difficulties encountered by the Allied Forces, there is the reactivation of the *Jinchuriki* (homonynously translated as ‘Half Body’, meaning hosts of the Tailed Beasts) which are important to Obito’s plan. The *Jinchuriki including Naruto, Killer Bee being the host of Eight-tails among others is a subject to capture. Nevertheless, Naruto and his companions such as **Killer Bee* do not surrender to be captured and as a result, fight in several times.
5. In this episode we finally see Naruto and Sasuke rise to new and more important roles in the plot as they try and rescue Gaara.
a. Organization: Naruto’s Growth and tailed beast user power.
*Naruto Uzumaki* gets stronger during the war. He forms contract with the *Nine-Tails (Kurama)*, and thus, achieves the form of chakra far superior to the average, which is essential for defeating powerful opponents . Naruto enters their journey as seeking forgiveness mostly, and to become a precursor instead of perpetuating the hatred in the world.
It also picks its heights at the war where *Sasuke Uchiha* shares near perfect affection with Naruto. Sasuke becomes an antagonist at the beginning of the series but then later the fight between him and Naruto symbolizes the war *Ashura and Indra, both fathered by the **Sage of Six Paths* where the two present two different ways to bring order and peace.
b. The Final Battles
The climax of the war is the *last battle of Naruto and Sasuke.* After defeating **Madara, **Obito, and other major threats, the true enemy emerges: **Kaguya Otsutsuki**, the creator of chakra, who was behind the scenes controlling everything from the begining.
The episode shows quite nostalgically that Naruto and Sasuke fight together to defeat Kaguya, which represents their predestined fate of being the natural reincarnations of *Ashura* and *Indra*, accordingly. Sasuke needs forgiveness from Sakura and Naruto’s group, so he becomes the show’s primary focus of redemption arc motif. Altogether Naruto and Sasuke bring the end of the war and the problem, related to Uchiha and Senju clans.

Finally, after destruction of*kaguya*and getting the world in peaceful state again Naruto and his friends start with the world rebuilding. All five Kage have essential parts and duties in the world after the Fourth Great Shinobi War but the shift in the shinobi world is the main reason for the War.
Finally, the *Naruto* takes the position of the fan culture’s hero for not only the desire object but also the *Seventh Hokage* institutionally endorsed, the show secures the fan culture’s ostensible mission of order of peace and unity.
Just comes and play a more isolated part that is why sasuke decided to go around the world in fixing wrong things that occurred in the past.
