The battle that formed the valley.
The Valley of the End (終末の谷, Shūmatsu no Tani; English TV "Final Valley") is located close to the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Sound.[1] Shortly after the foundation of Konoha, the Senju's leader Hashirama Senju became the First Hokage much to the dismay of the fallen Uchiha leader Madara Uchiha who intended to destroy the village with the forced assistence of Kurama the Nine Tails. The battle ended with Hashirama victorious, Madara faking his death and going into hiding, and the Nine Tails sealed within Hashirama's wife Mito Uzumaki.

The destructive power displayed in the epic battle left a scar in the earth that would come to be called the Valley of the End.[2][3] The waterfall serving as a border between the Land of Fire and the land later known as the Land of Sound, the valley was later memorialised with two giant statues of the main combatants: Hashirama on the Land of Fire's side of the waterfall and Madara on the opposite side to symbolise his defection from their village.[2] The statues are posed to make the Traditional Shinobi Sparring's Seal of Confrontation (対立の印, Tairitsu no In), which is protocol before a duel.
Years later, at the end of Part I, Naruto Uzumaki chased the now missing-nin Sasuke Uchiha to the valley in order to bring him back to the village before the later attempts to kill him to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan. Ultimately, using their greatest attacks at the time, the fight ended with Sasuke the victor with the statues of Madara and Hashirama receiving moderate damage during the fight.[4]
In Part II, Tobi goes to the valley and sits atop Madara's statue as he muses over what path Sasuke will take.[5][6] During the Fourth Shinobi War, the reincarnated Hashirama decides to tell Sasuke the full story of the battle that created the Valley of the End.
