Naruto: My Ninjutsu is Utterly Ordinary

Across the four corners of the ninja world, over 50 large-scale wars have been waged throughout history. Right and wrong are difficult to ascertain, but historians have always noted how the rise and fall of countless ninja clans were decided on these ancient battlefields, hence the saying: 'The victor becomes king, the vanquished becomes a bandit.'

Back then, the First Hokage led the Senju ninja, splitting into three routes to rendezvous with the Land of Fire, marching north to conquer Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure, achieving a great victory! The day after the Land of Fire was fully restored, the other nations, seeing the tide had turned, surrendered one after another.

Thirty years ago, I set out from Konoha, beginning the Second Great Ninja War. With my utterly ordinary ninjutsu, I conquered every enemy I encountered. Wherever I went, the populace welcomed me with open arms. It can truly be said that I had the favor of heaven, that vibrant, thriving state is still vivid in my mind.

I don't understand why everyone is talking about Uchiha Madara being trapped in the Valley of the End, as if this ancient ninja battlefield is destined for our doom.

After a mere thirty years, has it come to this - becoming my burial ground?

No matter how you look at it, the battle force is 80,000 against 100,000. The advantage is ours!
