Mom

When my father walked in both of my brothers stood in front of my bed, protecting me. Ignoring them my father looked at me.

"Are you ok?" he asked in his usual neutral tone.

"Hai!" I nodded my head trying my best to hide the innate fear that was bubbling inside me.

"Good" he nodded back at me before focusing on Hashi and Tobi who were still standing guard in front of me. "You two, come with me. We have a mission" he told them before turning around and leaving.

""Hai"" they both replied as they watched him leave.

"We'll see you when we get back Itama. Stay in the bed until the healer comes" Hashi told me before quickly running out of the room.

"Get better soon," Tobi said in the same neutral tone as our father before following them.

"Stay safe!" I impulsively call out to them.

I don't really have many feelings for them myself, but the body and the memories I have does. So I felt obligated to say that. I even wanted my father to be safe too. He wasn't the best father someone could ask for but he did what he thought was best for us. Plus he had a lot on his plate as the patriarch of the Senju Clan.

After my brothers left I sat quietly in my room thinking about my future and what I wanted to do in the future. I knew I wanted to be a part of the founding of Konohagakure, but I didn't know if that was all I wanted to do. After the founding of Konoha life would get pretty boring for me. Since Hashi would become the Hokage and Tobi would take the Patriarch position. I would probably be left with something along the lines of an elder position or a high advisor. Maybe even an errand boy for special missions if I got really good.

All of that was fine and dandy, but I knew it would get boring fast. Maybe I will settle down and have some kids.

"Haah, I'll figure it out once the time comes. I still have plenty of time." I mumbled to myself.

Which was true, I had plenty of time. If I remember correctly Hashi would be twenty-five when he found Konoha and he's only twelve right now. With my inclusion, the time might speed up a little bit but I should still have at least till he's twenty. Most Shinobi reach their peak around that age and he won't be able to accomplish his goals until then. So right now my goal is to figure out what I want to do by the time I turn nineteen. Until then I will focus on improving my strength and staying alive in this god-forsaken era.

Just as I finished my thoughts I heard another pair of rapid footsteps toward my room. This time a bright smile started to unwillingly form on my face as this body's favorite person busted open the door.

"Itama! Don't worry mommies got you!" My mother said as she jumped onto me and hugged me tightly.

Yes, that's right, I said 'mother'. Our mother is still alive, there was a brief period a few years ago where she got very sick and almost didn't make it, but fortunately, she made it through. Unfortunately, her body didn't heal all the way so she is still pretty sickly and had to retire as a Shinobi. Now she primarily deals with the internal issues of the clan.

"Madam Natsuma, please get off the boy. You will just hurt him more." The healer said as he pulled on my mother.

"I'm sorry. " My mother whispered as she tucked her head.

I did my best to stifle my laughter. If Tobi could be said to have our father's stern personality then the opposite is true for Hashi. He and our mother are two peas in a pod. Two overly excitable and brooding people. It's pretty funny.

But just like how Hashi looks closer to our father, Tobi looks like a male version of our Mother. They both have the same spiky blonde hair and red eyes. The only difference between Tobi and my mother is her shapely body. Although it feels weird to say, she would put adult Tsunade to shame, if they were ever to meet. It's honestly ridiculous.

Anyway, outside of the creepy thoughts that were making me uncomfortable. While my mother brooded in the corner the healer checked up on me. And after a brief inspection, I was cleared and told that I was completely fine. Something I already knew but was nevertheless I was still happy to hear it from an 'expert'.

Once my mother heard that she was immediately happy again and smothered me in a hug all over again. It took a few minutes for me to calm her down without depressing her. But when she finally let go of me we made our way to the kitchen where she made a big meal for me to eat.

"So, what are your plans now Itama?" My mother asked leaning on the table with her head in her hands.

I took a second to think. Itama wasn't close to anyone in the clan except his brothers and he only trained when his dad was around. Something that I'm sure he would come to target in the future. I have an idea of what I want to do, but first, let me show my mother my new abilities. It could try to hide it but there isn't any point. The benefits far outweigh the negatives.

"Momma, can I show you something?" I asked while standing up.

"Absolutely. What is it, sweetie?" She replied with a loving smile.

"I can't show you here, can you follow me"

"Hmm, I know the doctor said you were fine but I don't think you should be leaving the house too soon." She said with a worried look.

"I'll be fine I promise. You're not going to want to miss this!" I call out as I run out of the house. This way I get rid of the useless talk and leave her no choice. Manipulation at its finest.

"Haah, ok" my mother sighed, before using body flicker to catch up to me. It surprised me at first but then I realized that while she might not be able to fight professionally anymore. She still was a fairly powerful Shinobi in the past.
