Ultimately, it was Minato who became the Fourth Hokage. Out of the two teams, Minato who was the key factor in the war that gained the moniker of Konoha's Yellow Flash ( 木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō) alongside Orochimaru, were the only two candidates village officials put forward to succeed Hiruzen. The Konoha shinobi that received the most attention for their war efforts in the village were the Sannin and the surviving members of Team Minato. Advocates for the war opposed Hiruzen's seemingly weak decision, and to keep dissatisfaction in the village in check, he decided to step down as Hokage. In Konoha, although the war had been proceeding favourably for the village, the Third Hokage established a policy of reconciliation to bring an end to the fighting with an unprecedented offer to not seek reparations from Iwa. In the anime, the Tsuchikage was more reluctant to accept the peace treaty, only accepting it after Minato single-handedly stopped an invasion consisting of a thousand Iwa shinobi. The war that swallowed up shinobi from every land came to an end after an armistice agreement between Konoha and Iwagakure, which were the principal aggressors of the war, was concluded. The Battle of Kikyō Pass took place in this war.
Ao from Kirigakure also defeated a member of the Hyūga clan and took the member's Byakugan for his own right eye socket. Some time after this, Madara Uchiha would pass away, but not before passing his plans onto Obito to fulfil until the time of his resurrection. Grief-stricken Obito Uchiha, who unbeknownst to his teammates, had survived and was a witness to Rin's murder, massacred the Kiri shinobi by himself, despite their best attempts. Rin achieved this by letting herself be stabbed by Kakashi's Chidori which not only stopped the Three-Tails from being released but also resulted in Rin's death. The Kiri shinobi were adamant in retrieving Rin's body and not allowing it to fall into enemy hands. Rin chose to die by Kakashi's hands, rather than be used as a tool to destroy her own village. Kirigakure also partook in the war against Konohagakure and made Rin Nohara into the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails. This is also the war in which the Third Raikage died and the Fourth Raikage was appointed. Kumogakure was also seemingly a part of this war, with at least Konohagakure clashing with shinobi from this village, specifically Minato and A. Iwagakure was also known to have been fighting Kumogakure with various skirmishes between the two villages. It was not until the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge that the war began turning in Konoha's favour. Konohagakure and Iwagakure fought across Kusagakure after the latter had infiltrated it in order to lay siege to the border of the Land of Fire.
