Alex: "Hmm...I'll take both the room and the dinner" saying that Alex gave the receptionist 250 ryu from his small pouch that he had separated from his loot.

The lady counted the money and said: "Good, I have countered the money. Follow my husband. He will take you to your room and the dinner is at 9 so don't be late."

The man looked at Alex and took the lead asking Alex to follow him. Looking at Alex's attire the man thought that Alex must be a Ronin or a Samurai and asked: " you don't seem to be from this place"

Following the man Alex heard him asking the question about where that came from to which he answered "Yes, I am travelling, I am heading towards the Senju estate for some business"

"I was wondering in which direction I should go from this village to get to the Senju estate."

Hearing what I said the man thought for a moment and replied:" Head northeast from the Village up to the Naka River from there Just head downstream there you will find the Senju estate but be careful of the bandit and the chakra beasts. It is not safe in the wild. Also don't wander into the Uchiha estate a little further away. as they are not very kind to intruders... but that's just me saying do what you feel is best!"

they talked about some other routes and landmarks till they reached the room. After which the man gave Alex the key to the room as well as a bucket of water.

Alex. "Thank you for guiding me" Saying goodbye to the man Alex closed the door and looked at the interior of the room. The name was Small and made out of wood with a small bed in the Corner and a small wooden table and chair as well as a tatami mat on the floor. A small bathroom and a big window gave the view of the village.

Alex: "Haah....I am exhausted"

Said Alex as he lay down on the bed. After some rest, Alex went down to eat dinner and gather some information.

while having his dinner in the hotel. he heard some interesting gossip about different nobles and clans. The one that perked his ears was the news of the daimyo of the land of lightning.

Villager 1: "Hey did you hear that the land of lightning daimyo has married a girl of Chinoike clan!"

Villager 2: "What? Don't lie! How do you know about it?".

Villager 1: "Me and my brother had gone to the land of lightning to transport some goods of a noble from the land of fire. There I heard some men talking about it"

Alex: " Hmm.... the chinoike clan. They will soon be persecuted by the land of lighting due to some political drama.'

Alex: "It is an interesting kekkei genkai to have to be able to control iron.... combining it with magnet release will be interesting to see"

Having roamed around the place Alex came back on a chair ready to have dinner though. he didn't physically need it but mentally he was only human albeit he had become ruthless for one reason or another.

After eating the dinner Alex headed to his room and called it a night.

[Next morning]

[ALEX'S POV ]

Alex: 'Off we go' I thought, checking out of the inn and heading toward the Southeast of the Village. I travelled through an unkept Rocky road through the forest till I reached the riverbank of the Naka River.

Alex: "Phew... finally I got to the river now, I just have to head downstream".

I made my way downstream the Naka River till I found a riverside village. Having asked the direction of the Senju estate from a passerby. I headed near the Senju estate.

Arriving at the place I saw many Senju clan symbols in different shops.so I decided to book an inn and observe a little before doing anything.

[3RD POV]

After getting a room in a nearby inn Naruhito(alex) roamed around and visited different shops. Trying different foods. Even in these times, common people were somehow doing their business relatively openly.

Naruhito: 'Well ignorance is bliss....or maybe they have adapted to the chaos....or maybe it's because of the Senju protecting them....well whatever let's go back. I have seen enough.'

Thought Alex, as he went to his room and waited for the night.

[AT NIGHT ]

Alex: 'Hmm... It's already night time. I should Scout the area and find a suitable candidate to do the deed.'

Thinking that he hid his belongings so that nobody could find his loot. Alex made his way to the Senju compound using the mayfly technique.

After arriving at the Senju clan compound. Alex spied around the outer areas of the clan careful not to activate any traps or fuinjutsu alarms. After observing the members of the clan doing their activities and checking for any pregnant ladies.

He travelled deeper into the clan compound in search of a pregnant woman to plant his spore!!!.... that didn't sound right. I mean to assimilate with the embryo. As he surveyed the compound. he found few suitable candidate,but the decided to have a look at the clan heads house before doing anything.

Fortunately, arriving at the clan head's house, Alex found Hashirama Senju, along with Tobirama and there was another little boy with silver hair and a small X-shaped bandage on this chick having dinner with their mother.

Alex: ' Look at that... Hashirama is still quite young...I think 7-8 years old, so I guess I have 10-12 years to myself before the warring states era ends and I am going to take full advantage of it. And look at that, I didn't notice it earlier but Hashirama's mother is pregnant!!!'

Alex: 'Yess!!! I hit the jackpot. Seems like I am right on time. Being born as the patriarch's son will surely help me early on to get stronger. If this is the case in the clan Senju clan then Madra's mother should also be pregnant right now as he had more brothers than Hashirama'

"I think, I have to adjust my plans a little. I truly have become some evil mastermind like black zetsu"

*Sighing*

Alex made his way to the matriarch's bedroom that was guarded by a konoichi of the Senju clan as well as 2 caretakers next door and waited for midnight.

[At midnight]

Alex: 'Although I am feeling a bit guilty for doing this but I have to do it. Also, it's still an embryo and has not gained consciousness so it's not a murder.'

'Anyways, I must do everything for my survival.'

Thinking that, he steeled myself and slowly went underground near the matriarch and used the spore technique to implant my spores in the body of the clan matriarch. After that, he meticulously controlled the spores to travel through the bloodstream and reach the developing embryo. Reaching the embryo Alex slowly and Steadily started to assimilate the spors into the embryo carefully not to alter the gene too much. with the spors now assimilated with the embryo, the embryo will grow and absorb the spores getting rid of Zetsu's weaknesses of yang chakra. Also, assimilating with the spores will give the embryo genetic advantages of his current body and possibly manifest wood-release kekkei genkai later on.

Alex:' After a couple of hours passed by, I completed the process and headed out of the combend.'

'I can now feel a connection to the embryo in the womb It's time to head out'

Saying that he headed out of the compound not noticing that the matriarch woke up at night feeling something was off and even if he knew he wouldn't have cared as he had already done the deed.

Returning to the booked room at the Inn. Alex lay down on the bed mentally exhausted by the process of delicately manoeuvring the spores in the body without notice.

He thought about what he had done tonight and what to do next.

Alex:"*Sigh*... life is full of Struggle for a zetsu like me"

saying that he went to the land of dreams too tired to make any more plans.
