3 Growing Up

Third World Shinobi war was still going around, The war that was caused by Sakumo Hatake the hero of Hidden Leaf Village, He was hissed by everyone they said that he killed countless people to save one person

The second war did not end on a positive note, it was inevitable that third war would start soon, but Sakumo become the source to take out the hatred of people and soo He suicide...that was the day Konohagakure Lost its mighty Kenjutsu User

Kakashi entered the academy at the age of 3 truly. Minato and Kushina kept him

-------

It's been four years since the young Senju was born, at first people were just suspicious of it but as the time went on, Young Mai just looked like Hashirama with same black hair and same black eyes

4 years before, when young Mai was just 2 years old Konoha faced the surprise attack of Iwa, the young Senju although not killed but was heavily injured and the only reason he was able to live is that he accidentally used Mokuton, it was truly a sight to see, a giant forest that came out of no-where bought him time till Minato was able to come and save the young one

Some scouts/spies left to tell their village about the recent development and that the Senju clan is still breathing

-------

Senju Mai was unconscious and on the bed of Hospital

"I am taking him and Shizune and Leaving the village", said Tsunade as she checked every single place on her son body

"That's not gonna Happen", said Minato

"MINATO...THAT'S NOT THE DEAL WE ALL HAD"

"Please Listen Tsunade-San there was a huge attack on our village, sure spy of other villages would have found a way to sneak out of the village, Young Mai has the Mokuton that is not seen in any other Senju since Hashirama-sama, Think what's gonna happen if you leave the village with him? you will be attacked continuously till young Mai would be killed, without the protection of the village you, your son, your lover's Neice all will die out there and it will be because of you"

Tsunade grinded her teeth and clenched her fists

"Fine...we will not leave...but I want the protection on my son 24/7"

"Don't worry about that Tsunade...hime, Young Mai will be under my constant watch once you are not able to watch him", came the voice of Jiraiya as he came inside

"Very well"

-------

Mai was four when Kiri attacked, he ran towards Hokage Monument alongside his Shizune-nii while Tsunade was helping in fighting against Kiri

That day Shizune had her first kill, she was critically wounded with Kiri shinobis running all around

Mai dragged her body all the way towards Hokage monument it was tough and in the mid-way, he met a Kiri Shinobi who was trying to kill him but got saved by a dying Konoha chunnin

That day Mai got critically wounded once more... but he had no regret since he saved his sister

-------

Tsunade was enraged scared by that accident she thought she lost her family again but fortunately, nothing happened and so she started teaching Mai, Senju Clan Taijutsu style and chakra control exercise which was tough considering the huge chakra Senju clan has inside them

She also toughens up towards Shizune as she started her brutal training

-------

Today he was 6

A young Mai Senju woke up and got out of bed excitedly as he realized what day it was. "Today is the day I start at the academy!" he squealed and ran towards his closet.

Mai finally ran down the stairs in his house to the kitchen where his mother and Nee-chan were. "Good morning Kaa-chan, Shizune-nee!" he said happily as she sat at the table for breakfast.

"You seem excited Otouto-chan!" Shizune said with a smile. The ten-year-old was dressed in a short green kimono with slits up the side that revealed her fishnet shorts underneath. Since she had become a genin, Shizune trained every day with either her team or with Tsunade in order to become a medic ninja. Mai nodded enthusiastically. Shizune smiled and handed him a plate with rice and grilled tofu on it. Mai gave thanks for her meal and began chowing down.

After breakfast, Tsunade kissed her Son on the cheek before going to the door. "Shizune-nee, are you walking me today?" he asked his older sister figure. Shizune shouted back "Yes, just give me a minute!" The Black Hair Boy jumped from foot to foot as he waited for Shizune to be ready to bring him to the academy.

"So, you are probably well ahead of your peers in the case of your chakra control, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't pay attention. Also, Tsunade-ane and I will be increasing your training from now on. You will be learning the Advance version of the Senju clan Taijutsu style, that's where it will all get real since you are a real Senju that means you will be able to perform Senju Taijutsu Style better than me.", Shizune informed the young Senju. Mai nodded enthusiastically.

"This is your first day at the academy, so you will only really be talking today

Mai listened to Shizune intently as she walked towards the academy. The older girl was talking about plans for Mai's training that was coming up. When the pair finally arrived at the academy there were already children being checked in with the teachers. Shizune walked the two of them over to a middle-aged man who was directing people.

"Hello Hokage-sama, I have Mai Senju here, it is his first year at the academy," Shizune said and Mai stepped behind her slightly. The Hokage chuckled and looked down at a list. "he is in my wife, Biwako's class." The man said. Shizune's eyes widened and she looked over at Mai. "You will be taught by one of the best teachers you could ask for!" Shizune said excitedly.

"he looks like…" The Hokage began and Shizune cut him off. "The first Hokage, I know, he is the spitting image," Shizune said with a smile, Hiruzen too gave a smile.

Shizune smiled at the Hokage. "I think it is time Moriko-chan got to class, and its time I go meet my team for a mission," Shizune said before she led her younger brother over to the Hokage's wife. "Biwako-sama, this is Mai Senju, he is in your class." The medic nin said before bowing and turning away. Shizune kissed Mai on the cheek and hugged him before leaving. Mai looked up nervously at the brown haired lady who would be teaching his class.

Biwako smiled, "You were the last one to get here, so now why don't we go to our class?" She asked calmly. Mai nodded. "Class D! Follow me!" She called and walked into the building. Immediately students began following her. When the students got into the classroom that would be theirs for the next year.

The Class went pretty boring, to say the least, and finally, it ended

Mai smiled and begun the short walk back to the Senju compound. When Mai got home he was the only one there, so he decided to get some training done. Mai went to the yard and focused Chakra into his legs and begun to try and stand on the pond in his yard. The black hair managed to stay standing on the pond for about ten minutes before his control slipped slightly and he fell through.

Mai sighed and got out of the water to try again. "I can stand on trees for hours, why do I have trouble with water?" he asked herself out loud.

"Maybe you are focusing too hard? This exercise should be subconscious." A male voice said from the end of the yard. Mai glanced up sharply and saw long white hair. "Jiraiya Oji-chan!" he called excitedly as he raced across the water and towards his uncle. Mai didn't notice he was still channeling chakra to his feet and he raced forward

"Hey, Mai-chan!" Jiraiya exclaimed as he caught his nephew and swung him around. "How are you? I know today was your first day at the academy." He asked with a grin.

"It was awesome! he said excitedly. Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I will help with your training when I am in town." He said and Mai's smile widened even more.
