Fourth Shinobi World War was the largest war in the history of the shinobi world in Naruto. In this war, all shinobi from various villages combined their military strength and formed an alliance to fight against Obito, Kabuto, and their troops.
Allied Shinobi Forces was divided into several divisions, each with its own duties. These divisions were divided into two broad categories: Grand Battle Regiment and Support Division.
For more information, check out the discussion of the nine divisions of the Shinobi Alliance and their duties below!
1. First Division
First Division consists of ninja who focus on mid-range combat. The division was led by the Fourth Raikage's right-hand man, Darui, who specialized in using black lightning.
The ninja in this division were generally skilled fighters with weapons or mid-range attacks, such as Tenten. This division showed intense combat against Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
2.Second Division
Unlike the First Division, Second Division focuses on close-range combat. So, the members of this division are mostly ninja who specialize in close-range attacks, such as Neji and Hinata Hyuga.
Second Division commander is held by a shinobi from Iwagakure named Kitsuchi. He is also assisted by Kurotsuchi. The two of them displayed an interesting moment when fighting White Zetsu, who was hiding underground.
3.Third Division
Third Division can be said to be mid-range between the First and Second Divisions. It focuses on close- to mid-range combat. Because of this, its composition is varied.
Third Division is led by Kakashi Hatake. He oversees several powerful ninja, such as Might Guy, Rock Lee, and Sakura Haruno. They, along with the Surprise Attack Division, were involved in battles against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, including Haku, Pakura, and Gari.
4. Fourth Division
Fourth Division is a division composed of ninja with long-range attack abilities. It is led directly by Gaara, who holds the main command.
Fourth Division showcases fierce battles against the Edo Tensei Kage, such as Mū, Gengetsu, Third Raikage, Rasa, and Madara. They are seen fighting with all their might to defeat them.
5. Fifth Division
Fifth Division is a special combat division tasked with supporting other divisions in trouble. Its leader is Mifune, known as a great samurai from the Land of Iron.
The division's members are predominantly samurai with strong loyalty to Mifune. However, there are several ninja with special abilities within the division, such as Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Ino Yamanaka.
6. Surprise Attack Division
As the name suggests, Surprise Attack Division consists of shinobi who possess jutsu or surprise attacks. The division is led directly by Kankuro. He is assisted by powerful ninja such as Sai and Omoi.
Kankuro once led the division to defeat Edo Tensei ninja like Shin, Sasori, and Deidara. Although they successfully defeated them, they began to struggle when they faced Haku, Zabuza, Gari, and Pakura.
7. Logistical and Medical Support Division
Ninjas cannot fight optimally without logistical support, such as food and medical care to heal their wounds. Therefore, this division plays a crucial role for the Shinobi Alliance.
Shizune was entrusted with the leadership of the Logistical and Medical Support Division. She displayed a different side on the battlefield. She appeared very serious and tried to save injured ninja.
8. Intelligence Division
When fighting on the battlefield, ninjas need strategies that can minimize losses and increase their chances of victory. The Intelligence Division, led by Inoichi Yamanaka, was responsible for this task.
Inoichi didn't work alone, as he was also supported by brilliant ninja like Shikaku Nara. They worked diligently to develop battle tactics that greatly assisted the Allied Shinobi forces during the battle.
9. Sensor Division
Sensor Division consisted of the best sensor-type ninja from the five great ninja villages. The division was led directly by Ao. They also cooperates with the Intelligence Division and other divisions in battle.
Sensor Division members also possessed expertise in front-line combat. They played a crucial role in detecting White Zetsu who was hiding underground and threatening the ninja.
