'What, where am I?' As Tony's vision cleared up, he saw himself standing in front of three kids who were looking angrily at him.

"Hiroto kun," Suddenly Tony heard a weak voice coming from behind.

As he turned around he saw a six year old girl standing behind him with noticeable pale white eyes.

Suddenly, his head started to feel with memories unknown to him. Tony felt the pain from the memories being inserted into his head. As the process ended which barely took a few seconds, the pain stopped too.

Tony finally understood the gist of his current situation.

"Hiroto, why do you always come in our way?" One of the boys standing in front of him asked furiously.

"Because Hinata is my friend," Tony replied without hesitation.

Tony after insertion of the memories knew that he had been transmigrated to the Naruto world, preferably an alternate universe, because he was in the body of a person, who may not have been alive in the anime world of Naruto.

The reason he thought like this because his full name was Senju Hiroto and he was considered to be a last male pure-blood descendant of the Senju clan.

Observing the current situation and correlating it to his past memories, Tony knew that these kids were trying to bully Hinata once again.

He had already saved her once, two months ago from these bullies. That was actually the first time he had met Hinata.

"Hiroto, do you think we are afraid of you? Just because you are a bit popular, do you think you can do anything in this village?" Another boy complained.

Yeah, it was true true. Hiroto was a popular kid for being the last descendant of the Senju clan. People adored him, well because his ancestor kinda built this whole village. Hiroto also didn't put up any air in front of the villagers and treated them as kindly and politely as possible, whenever interacting with them.

"Let's go, Hinata," Tony who's name now was Hiroto, said to Hinata, totally ignoring those kids.

Hinata nodded her small head.

Just as they were about to go, the boy who was standing at the center of the other kids, launched himself towards Hiroto, trying to punch him in the face.

Hiroto easily blocked the punch and lightly

pushed the boy away.

The boy stumbled backward and glared at Hiroto. "You think you're so special just because you're from the Senju clan?" he spat. "Well, I'm sick of everyone treating you like some kind of hero."

Hiroto sighed and stepped closer to him,"Well if you have a problem with me, then come to me directly. Why are you trying to bully her?"

As he said that, Hiroto lightly slapped the boy's face. His two henchmen finally reacted and surrounded Hiroto.

Hiroto who was getting tired of this farce, quickly knocked both of them to the ground and after warning them, he went on his way along with Hinata.

As they were walking, he gently said," Why don't you try to defend yourself? One punch, just one punch and everything would be over. They won't look for trouble ever again."

Hinata bent her head in shame, unable to form a reply to Hiroto's retort.

Hiroto just shook his head and ruffled her hair," Don't worry, I will protect you, even if they come, looking for trouble again."

He pitied the weak hearted girl.

Soon they reached the Hyuga clan residence and Hiroto went on his way after bidding her good bye.

'Hmm, it seems like I have saved her instead of Naruto. Well its not my fault. Two months ago, he too was there trying to save Hinata, but got beaten down after one punch. The previous owner of the body decided to step up and help Hinata,' Hiroto pondered.

Finally Hiroto reached the Senju Residence. It was huge in area but was in a dilapidated state. There was only one house present in the whole area where Senju Clan was located. It was Hiroto's house. All other houses were removed, as the Senju clan had no other descendant or clan members.

The previous owner of the body had strongly persisted to live here instead of being transferred to civilian area after he was released from the orphanage. He was quite attached to this place, even though it might seem a bit gloomy.

After looking at the memories of the previous owner of the body, James came to the conclusion that the old Hiroto was quite a protagonist level material.

Although being popular, he mostly kept to himself and hardly had any friends, well mostly acquaintances. He was not the talkative type of guy either.

Except for the Gramps, whom he used to meet weekly, Hiroto didn't open himself to anyone else. The Gramps was quite friendly and kind to him and he had known him for almost two years. He would also not treat him like the other people of the village would do. That Gramps never cared about Hiroto's background and would treat him like a normal kid. That was why Hiroto had been so close with him. He used to tell that old man everything. Well except for one thing, Hiroto shared everything with that old man.

Yes, Hiroto had his own secret. The secret was that, he had awakened his Wood release at the age of five. He had no idea what it actually was, as he was just a kid, so he decided to keep it a secret, even from his favourite Gramps. The thinking of this old Hiroto was simple, he thought that if he told Gramps about it, he also may start treating the old Hiroto differently than before.

'My God, this kid has awakened the impossible to be awakened 'Wood Release',' Hiroto was actually dancing in his mind with joy. Well the old Hiroto had no idea what he had awakened, but for Tony who had now transmigrated into Hiroto's body, who was a fan of the Naruto Anime, how could he not know?

He had no idea, how he had awakened the Wood Release, because it was said to be impossible to be inherited by the descendants of the Senju clan. Was he another incarnation of Asura or what? Or did the person who transmigrated him here, gave him the powers?

After thinking for a bit, he decided not to bother about it anymore. He decided to dwell more on the old Hiroto's memories.

The old Hiroto's parents had died in the fabled attack of the nine tailed beast. So Hiroto had been living in the orphanage till the age of five. Since he turned six, he was transferred to the Senju clan, as now he was able to take care of himself.
