If Tobirama died during the 1st war. Then his tenure as kage was surprising short. And Hiruzin would have survived the 2nd and 3rd great ninja wars. Really gives alot of credence to that adage "beware of old men in professions where people usually die young".

I am SO glad you covered this, I always wondered how all those 1st and 2nd kages died randomly. Especially Hashirama, the man who fought 1v2 against Madara and Kurama.

“How many Kage do you want to die?” Kishimoto: “Yes”

Hashirama wanted to give the tailed beasts away, Tobirama made him sell them.

Hashirama is just Professor Oak. He’s literally giving out Tailed Beast like Pokémon and he has wood release.

So you’re saying that if Madara became Hokage, he would literally be fire lord Sozin?

8:54 it’s unknown how Hashirama passed away. Yes he was in his elderly ages but he looked young a popular theory is all that healing he’s done in battle especially against Madara caught up to him that it sped up his biology or something leading him to age quickly and deteriorate his body

I always thought it'd be amazing for them to create another 250 to 400 episodes starting from the Era around the otsusukis arrival and then going through all the major events falling all the major peopeles stories like madara hashirama kakashi minato all the way up to the birth of naruto. I get that they have flashbacks but how damn awesome would it be to watch naruto previous generations and watch all the badasses grow up and fight there major famous battles and even people like minsto taking the chunin exams or seeing the legendary sanin go on missions when they were kids. Ik its a lot but God that'd be so cool

Everyone gets the story of what happened to Tobirama wrong. The Kinkaku brothers with Kyuubi amps ambushed Tobirama and the second raikage in a sneak attack and almost killed Tobirama. When we see Tobirama in the flashbacks he is retreating from the cloud mortally wounded from the sneak attack. When he fought that 20 man strong squad he was seriously weakened. The ninja following the brothers didn't know what they their leaders did until after.

5:20 Actually, no. Hashirama wanted to give them away for free, it was Tobirama who demanded a price. Which is also why he is the best Kage, hands down.

This is honestly one of the most in depth history videos you've done on the verse and it was insane how many people died. Didn't know most of this so listening to it at work was a real treat!

I gotta say one of the most annoying misconceptions in Naruto is that the Second Hokage hated the Uchiha clan, he didn’t he just hated how some of them had tendencies towards hatred and power hunger.

It makes sense to me that Kinkaku and Ginkaku would still be trying to fight for the Cloud after their "exile" if they intended to usurp power after the war. Being war heroes who killed the Cloud's enemies instead of signing peace treaties with them could give the two brothers a lot more credibility within the village and make their power grab easier.

Hashirama was too strong to be a decoy he could fight all the four other nations by himself. He died bc his cells can only regenerate so much. Every time he regenerates, it speeds up the lifespan of his cells, thus his own. Thats the leading theory as to why he died. No confirmed reason tho.

16:25 the reason they had a strike force from the cloud is because the second raikage most likely died during the coup, because it was stated that they nearly killed tobirama so it makes sense that the second raikage died and the third raikage who didn't want peace took over and aloud the brothers to stay in the village. He probably conspired with them

Everytime I see hashirama and the uzamaki elder... I can't help but think of Amado and how far a single uzamaki sealing genius plus ninja tech is the most scary thing undiscovered

I think the Gold and Silver bros were acting alone. I think they laid a trap for the second hokage by making it seem like it was a strike force

Man, the amount of work that goes into your content never ceases to amaze me. Hands down one of the best anime content creators on this platform.

Madara going out there like the fire nation. “ our society is so great &mighty, so we’ll kindly going our wealth by conquering everyone else.”

This vid brought something to my attention that tobirama picked the 3rd hokage based on who stepped up to the task of being the decoy but I'm wondering what if Kagami did it would tobirama let him die or would he actually appointment the very first Uchiha hokage and if he did make him the 3rd how much would that have changed the story also this was a really great video I love the information you bring us

The man who knows it all. I am the man who hears it all. I love your content keep it up!

Thank you so much for putting in the dedication to do these videos. You are without a doubt my favorite and the best KZfaqr that deals with Naruto based info.

Ashirama: I never thought it would come to this when I fought in the first Shinobi World War. Hiruzen: First Shinobi World War? Why do you keep calling it that Ashirama: Oh, you'll see!

“A series about Minato-“ TAKE MY WALLET TAKE EVERYTHING

I am so grateful to have you explain this into detail. My absolute favorite is Minato and I was wondering if ONE DAY you could make a video detailing what you think would happen if Minato had went up against Pain. Hope you read this.

I just realize that shishuis grand father could have been appointed as hokage if he had stepped up! 🤭

Needed this today man 💪🏾 appreciated the consistency

For the tailed beasts it is actually unlikely that he had 7 beasts to give. Taki wasn't a major village so they wouldn't have been there to get the 7 tails. Which means they got it some other way. And the 1 and 9 tails were either not captured or already accounted for before the meeting. That means at most there were 6 beasts to hand out and each village got 2 of them.

DO THE SECOND WAR ASAP THIS COULD BE A GREAT MINI SERIES

You are probably the only KZfaqr that I don’t want to skip any content while watching. No bullshit random stuff just straight facts, it’s pretty dope

YESSSS ANOTHER GREAT UPLOAD!!!! I feel like madara himself would declare you the most knowledgeable of all shinobi.

This was one of thr best anime history lessons ever !!! It's crazy af tho that most of the 1st and 2nd kages died in the 1st war that's so wild

Nick. Ive been watching you since you had near 10k subs. I showed my wife your vids. I told her " watch. This dude is gonna blow up on youtube". Near 150k subs. Dude you've made it.

When did Tobirama have time to set up the infrastructure of the Leaf he is credited with like the school and police force during the first war? OR… did he do it during the establishment of the village while under Hashirama since it seems like his Hokage-ship was very short lived?

You should do a video about the many Samurai in the Naruto world! Always thought it was cool that they existed in the Naruto series just wish they got some more time to shine and develop. Would of been so cool to see a totally different fighting style/tactics, (Maybe) a unique battle and power system for the samurais that differed from or put a twist on chakra, and also would of been dope to see the samurais do more (Mifune is goated for sure tho)

Bro I love your videos! They give me something to look forward to, and are hella informative.

You and Naruto explained have some of the most detailed points of the entirety of Naruto and exactly why I followed you or subscribe or whatever. I’ve been on KZfaq at least 15 years and just started subscribing last year

I think it was the Hidden Leaf and Mist against the other 3. Lightning and Sand were keeping Konoha in check and a force was sent by the Mizukage to keep the Stone in tied up.

Could you imagine if Madara and Hashirama wanted to conquer the other villages together? The leaf would’ve dominated everyone

I can imagine the last dialogue between Kinkaku/Ginkaku and Tobirama. - You will not pass! - We don't want to - You will not harm the future of Konoha! - Mate, we literally are here to kill you - Oh... - Yeah...

Cannot wait for that second and third war videos I know they are gonna be banging‼️

I'd love for you to do more history like this for the 2nd and 3rd wars

I found it beautiful that we dont know how and what killed hashirama, the God of shinobi himself. I like it that it has many speculation about how he died. Character so hax(OP) u can just have its death a mystery 🤣

Been watching for months had no idea I wasn’t subscribed but I am now! Love the content!

I am so happy you covered this!! You should cover what info we have on the 2+3. Have a good day/night♡

only few youtubers were I look foward to their videos! Videos help me get through work, keep up the good work!

Duuuuuude your grinding hard bro keep it up 😤🤘 I cant belive how fast you are putting out content

Madara tried to pull a Sozin, "we are so prosperous as a nation, and it is now my dream to share that prosperity with the world."

To me, it makes sense that Kinkaku and Ginkaku (spelling?) would pursue Tobirama even though they were exiled. Their whole thing was that they hated the Leaf. What (alive) individual was a better representation of the idea of the Hidden Leaf Village than Tobirama Senju? After getting exiled, which they would feel is strictly due to Tobirama too, their resolve to kill him would be just as strong or even stronger even though they were exiled. That's personal resolve, man. Like Sasuke when he left the VHITL. Personal resolve is blinding, especially for shinobi.

Madara's "let me share Leaf's wealth" kinda a similar motivation to Sozin from A:TLA now that I think about it

I can't believe how accurate the "first Raikage who looks like Jimmy Hendrix for some reason" line is until I googled both back to back (I haven't seen Hendrix before). 🤣

hashirama didnt die on the battlefield he died cause of his healing taking away his life span so he died of natural causes

I’ve watched multiple videos from you and you make so much sense.

Dope content bro!

We need to share this mans channel. he does a great job, I love his videos

Awesome video!! Please make a video on 2nd and 3rd war too

What tha dog doing?😹 Great video again man!!!

One of the best KZfaq pages I’ve stumbled across!! Amazing content and always keeps me laughing. I’m now at the point where I like the videos before he asks us to do it

Dang, glad you covered this

Love the videos. Keep em coming.

I'm gonna need a new vid everyday lmao love this stuff dude

great video Nick!

Wow. Your coverage is Soo in-depth and research, I sometimes forget we are talking about anime and not actual real life events. Can you do this for WW1?

One of your best videos yet!

Excellent Work!!

Thanks for covering this but there’s a bit of discrepancy in the first one, they weren’t quite that divided yet, they were still at the point where Hashirama wanted Madara to be the second hokage

can you do a video on the mysterious sickness that Itachi, Kimimaro, Hayate, Sai's brother Shin, Ameyuri Ringo and a few others are suffering from also why is it only leaf and mist shinobi ?

Can we get a VS series where you put together matchups and you come up with reasons and a scenario in which said person would win? I think that’d be dope

Thank u for tackling this finally!

hmmm nvr really thought of that! great vid!

I'd like to see you do a speculation type video on the first few Kages outside of Konoha. Since there isn't much documentation about them. I'm workshopping some head canon about the timeline of the 1st Shinobi war

Interesting theories that I'm sure are true (some are facts as you've stated). Especially with Kinkaku/Ginkaku Force. MY TAKE, is that after they eventually killed the 2nd Raikage and exiled (along with their elite squad), they were eventually brought back to Kumogakure by the 3rd Raikage. We DO KNOW they actually respected the 3rd Raikage and we know this by Darui having the 3rd's symbol on his shoulder and they started to take Darui more seriously. It would make sense that they put the 3rd in power as we do know that the 3rd Raikage is fairly militaristic. Really, all the 2nd & 3rd gen Kage's (funny enough, arguably except Tobirama although it's more so to uphold Hashirama's ideals. Also don't know much of the 2nd Raikage) were extremely militaristic. The Sand 2nd & 3rd pushed military expansion, Mu & Onoki likewise, Gengetsu and his successor and definitely the 3rd Raikage, his son and Hiruzen with Danzo in the shadows. The push for military expansion through the 5 great nations is literally why the 2nd war started and arguably the 3rd. Nagato points how the 5 great nations were building their military might, it devastated the smaller nations with really only the Hidden Rain even standing a chance due to Hanzo, who was just as militaristic as the 5 great nations. Due to the 2nd war, which never really concluded, then broke out the 3rd war less than a decade later and built off the 2nd which essentially lasted almost until Naruto's birth.

Yo Nick, I love your content and I was wondering if you could make a video on the sage of six paths weapons explained?

I’ve been so hype since yesterday when you said on stream yesterday that this was the video you were gonna release let’s gooo !

This has to one of the most informative anime lore channels on KZfaq

I need this for every war bro this was cool

I've been waiting for a video on this from you, can we get a vid on the 2nd and 3rd great ninja wars too!

Yes another great video! Great job bro

This video was soooooo good!!! please do all the wars

I always thought that the First Shinobi War started after Hashirama died, possibly because Konoha needed to flex against nations that were tempted to challenge Konoha's dominance under Tobirama who wasn't fully on board with the summit outcome and his views were somewhere between Hashirama and Madara. Tobirama wanted Konoha to exert soft power rather than total domination (Kinda like China's model of imperialism as opposed to the US). Tbirama is the one who died in the First War fighting with his forces.

These videos are getting better and better

Kage bushin no jutsu

really like this video we never got what happened in those wars you should do all of them

Here's the thing about Ginkaku and Kinkaku that make their attack make sense. They weren't fighting for the hidden cloud, they were fighting to murder Tobirama. The people following them were doing the same.

Was amalgamation your word of the day😂 (loved the video though)

2:51 hashirama was out here collecting tailed beasts like Pokemon

hey man i love ur vids and i have an idea, how about u make vids explaining all shinobi world wars(instead of 1 bc we finished it)

Yo this is great!! Im planing a Naruto TTRPG and setting it in the birth of konaha and this it all the lore I need in one place. keep this up

I want an alternate history where Konoha kept their 8 beasts and just had a team like the 7 Swordsmen but it's the 8 Jinchuriki. Like any conflict happens and you just send this team of 8 walking nuclear bombs out to deal with it. Lol

Madara be going around the villages yelling at niggas 🤣

Very excited for this!!!

Love ur channel 💓

Nick, the Minato anime covering the 2nd and 3rd great ninja wars is genius.

I love that Naruto and all the leaf Shinobi were wearing the Uzumaki crest, and didn't even know it. Minus a few of the elders.

Damn, I never thought about the amount of time that progressed from the creation of hidden villages to og naruto, I always thought it was around 200+ years

best naruto content creator ever. thanks for the consistent videos

Lov e the vids bro keep it up

NCHammer normally i would not watch naruto videos like this but somehow you make it entertaining: Can you make a six paths chakra ?

These guys are all back in my days type people

Everytime you bring up the uzumakis all I can think about is how cool it would be if their clan was still around
