Time Reference (?)

blackkatmagic:

Plz ignore the ask where I’m flailing about this impossible thing, because I cracked it down! I want to believe I did crack it down. I did a little of research about the Ninja World Wars because Kishi’s logic is utter garbage and Math simply doesn’t add up with some of the years in which he sets the Wars apart.

I took Jiraiya as my main reference point because he fought 3 wars and survived 2 ½ and interacts WITH THE MAYOR PART OF THE KEY CHARACTER INSIDE THIS STORY. All of this starts, ends and FOCUSES with Jiraiya, I keep adding Key Characters to prove some logic with the research that I did and the Math that I did.

This the order:
EVENT
(AGE) Character – (AGE) Succeeding Character

==========================================

Fourth War Starts (“Peace” Duration and Shitty Canon Planning: 17 years)
54 Jiraiya (DIES) -30 Kakashi- 16 Naruto
Chuunin Exams
50 Jiraiya – 26 Kakashi – 12 Naruto
Nine Tails Attack
38 Jiraiya – 24 Minato (DIES) – 14 Kakashi – Naruto Borns
Third War Is Over (Time Duration: 5 years)
37 Jiraiya – 23 Minato – 13 Kakashi
Third War Starts (Peace Duration: 6 years)
32 Jiraiya – 18 Minato – 8 Kakashi (Sakumo dies)
Peace Time in Between
30 Jiraiya – 16 Minato – 6 Kakashi (<- Graduates the Academy)
Second War Ends (Time Duration: 8 years)
26 Jiraiya – 12 Minato – 2 Kakashi
Gets Genin Team / Fight with Hanzo
24 Jiraiya – 12 Nawaki (DIES) – 10 Minato – Kakashi Borns
Second War Starts (Peace Duration: 10 years)
18 Jiraiya – 6 Nawaki – 4 Minato
Conflict on Piece Time
14 Jiraiya – 2 Nawaki – Minato Borns
Peace Time (AKA Shenanigans Galore, Wild Little Sannin Wreck Havoc)
12 Jiraiya – Nawaki is Born
First War Ends (Time Duration: 10 years)
8 Jiraiya
Academy Graduation (Hiruzen Becomes Hokage)
6 Jiraiya
Second Year of the First War
Jiraiya is Born

======================================

In the Wikia it says that the first war lasted 10 years and the peace time was that of 20, but that is really impossible since we see Tunade interact with Hashirama (I speculate that she’s like 3-4 on the flashbacks we’re given) We have a total of 20 years marking the Period of the first War, 10 years of conflict + 10 of peace. The second one is a bit unclear of its Canon duration and it says that the build up to the Third one is 10 years.

But like the stubborn person that I am I’m gonna say Fuck Canon and Kishi’s lack of Math and Logic.

The numbers I came up with (after comparing the ages) for the Real Durations of the War and Peace times make a little sense to me. If we take that in the 2nd one Tsunade made a fucking Improvement on Squads by entering Medic-Nin, it gave Konoha the upper hand. Peace duration also makes sense because let’s be real, given that we have Danzo as our favorite Conflict Catalyst, the other Countries were really paranoid, all that was needed was a really bad excuse or something gone really wrong.

Which brings us to the beginning of the 3rd one, Sakumo is our Scapegoat and all shit brakes loose, Minato builds up a reputation, [Cannabi is a small Catalyst for the 4th one] and the 3rd one ends because The Yellow Flash is scary AF. So this one was the quickest.

4th one, we all know how it goes.

ALSO

I would like to add that Minato graduates at age 10 from the Academy and he and the Ame Orphans have a 5 years of age difference, so I find it kinda Illogic that just when Jiraiya gets his Genin team he abandons it like nothing. So I headcanon that Minato takes only 1 year to pass the Chuunin exam because he’s one of the prodigies inside his generation, then Hanzo’s fight happens and Jiraiya stays with the Orphans (wich are 6) and Minato starts rotations with the Chuunin Corps at age 11.

Now that I finished, with these small calculations that I did, I can see clearly the ages of the other characters that were born on those periods, and I really hope this helps someone to have some age / event reference or smth. Thanks for reading!
