"The Uchiha rose, the Senju broke away, the clans split apart, and fame and profit took hold of people's hearts. With all those factors combined, Ninshu had no chance of survival."
The images on the Sky Screen continued, fully documenting how the Shinobi World had descended, step by step, into the abyss of chaos after Ninshu dissolved.
