1. 1st Great Ninja War As the first battle in ninja history, the battle took place a long time after Hashirama Senju took over as the First Hokage in Konoha. While the other villages caused many internal problems, the First Hokage at that time opened the Five Kage Conference, using the Tailed Beast as a gift to express his desire to prevent war and keep the world at peace. However, that attempt failed and the 1st great ninja war still took place.
After Tobirama took his brother's place, the situation did not improve much and the fighting became even more intense, after the Second Hokage was killed by Kinkaku forces from the Land of Thunder. It wasn't until one of his students, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sat in the Hokage chair that the first great ninja war could be ended through an armistice.
2. The 2nd Great Ninja War The peace treaty from the first great war was only temporary, when the economic disparity between countries became more and more serious. Some places are too strong, and some places have to live in poverty, evils happen everywhere. So the countries decided to invest in the military, use violence to expand their territory, thereby breaking out the second great ninja war. This battle involved the Fire Nation, the Earth Kingdom, the Wind Country, and the Lightning Nation. 3. The 3rd Great Ninja War The 3rd Great Ninja War took place when the power from the Five Great Kingdoms was gradually declining. Conflicts in border areas with smaller countries further strain relations between countries. Once again the 5 most vocal countries directly involved in the war. Compared to the previous two times, this battle became many times more brutal when promulgating many inhuman policies such as sending Gennin into battle. This is the battle that turned Minato into a famous name with the title "Golden Lightning of Konoha" and witnessed the heroic death of the Third Raikage. 4. The 4th Great Ninja War
Unlike the previous battles, the fourth great ninja war in Naruto Shippuden was the first time that all ninja villages stood on the same front. The countries formed an alliance of ninjas to fight their common enemies Obito Uchiha and Kabuto, who launched this war, with the goal of capturing the remaining two tailed beasts including Kurama and Gyuki. It can be said that this is the most difficult battle of the ninja army when facing the skilled army of the White Zetsu and talented ninjas who died before but returned through the forbidden technique Edo Tensei.
