Chapter 03

It's already been some months since we had our graduation exam.

We thankfully all passed it and thanks to our number we could made two Genin teams.

Like the original work and at Tsunade sadness, she was in team 7 along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru under Hiruzen Sarutobi.

She was indeed sad not to be on the same team as me but I asked Tobirama not to because I do not want her to be too reliant on me.

Now I also am in a team, team 8.

For whatever reason, there is right now no team from 1 to 6.

Team 8 is composed of Shikuro Aburame, Maito Dai, and finally me, Yuichi Senju.

As our team is led by...Danzō Shimura.

Yeah this guy who did a lot of shit during his life, thankfully it started after Hiruzen was chosen as the next Hokage.

He still seems interested in my eyes like some fetish he has, and also he's interested in Shikuro special insects.

You are supposed to have a special test to truly become a Genin and while Hiruzen did the bell test for his team, which was slightly different because Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade had better teamwork than the original.

They snatched Hiruzen bells quite fast and when Hiruzen asked who will not have one, Orochimaru said that if one of them can't continue then none of them will.

This surely surprised Hiruzen not expecting this trust already between them.

Now Danzō did gave us a test but it felt more like an interrogation about ourselves our family and our specialty. He sought after future subordinates for when he will be Hokage.

Something he will never be and I will make sure of it, I already have a plan to get rid of him without anyone knowing it's me.

Our team already did a lot of D ranked missions and working with the quietest and loudest fellows in the world was something.

We also had some C ranked missions like being the bodyguard of some merchant or hunting relatively strong wild animals.

We furthermore had our first kill each during one of those bodyguarding mission against some weak forest bandits.

In a fight, I'm using mostly Taijutsu and Water release like Gunshot.

I am still concealing my other Ninjutsu while being a kid and under Konoha's view.

The war is still going on and we have less time to see each other with Tsunade. Our parents are also on lengthy period missions and we did not see them for a while now.

Also, we do not have a little brother Nawaki for one simple reason: During my time at the Academy and even before I...Cockblocked our parents a lot while acting innocent.

I did not want a Naruto-like brother it's too much work.

Now, something I knew was coming will happen soon.

Tobirama had a formal ceremony occurring with Kumo to ally with them and the second Raikage.

This is where Tobirama will be left near death and die soon after another ambush by the Gold and Silver Brothers.

Now I do not want Tobirama to die, I grew up and trained with him for 4 years now and I consider him as family.

Funny enough people sometimes thought I was his son because of our similar hair color, Ninjutsu specialization, fighting abilities, and personality.

I hope my plan will work.

====================

Tobirama's POV :

I am on my way to the meeting point the Raikage and I chose to conclude our Alliance, I was followed by some of my Anbu and should arrive soon.

This is an important point for Konoha, the war already lasted for too long and we lost a lot of shinobi those last years.

But weirdly enough I can't help but feel uneasy...

Yuichi words keep on haunting my mind, I hope nothing will happen.

*Flashback no Jutsu*

"You are saying the meeting could be dangerous?" I said raising my eyebrow looking at Yuichi.

"Yes Granduncle It's more than a simple hunch, I had a strange vision where I saw your funeral happens not too long from now...And I think I know how and why they are happening." he said while pointing at his eyes.

"They are giving us yet another surprise huh...Your eyes are Dōjutsu for sure but quite the unique one..." I responded.

I know his eyes were specials since I first saw him, they are peculiar after all, with a bright blue light emanating from them and a strange yet beautiful flower pattern around his pupil...

He already told me he could 'see' something within people and after some test, we finally know what it is: life force.

That's right, he can see the life force left within people and estimate their death, but with it came something else, vision rarely happening to inform him of a future event that could happen and always related to death.

"So what do you suggest? Cancel the meeting? Have more Jōnin following me?" I said while massaging my temples.

"You know too well that Konoha needs an alliance and bringing more ninja could be interpreted mistakenly. I have made something...special. Do not bring many Anbu with you but at least wear this." he said taking a necklace made of wood.

"What did you create? This looks like a pill at the end of it." I said taking his so-called necklace.

"It's indeed meant to look like a pill and I put it as a necklace to make it easier to bite. If you are at risk I hope you will bite it and you will be safe that I can assure you." he said before continuing "Konoha needs you, you know."

"Alright then, you could at least made it a bit better looking? Anyway, I will keep it and hide it under my suit." I promised him.

One thing I know about this kid, which reminds me of my younger self, is how much he seeks to create Jutsu. He may be young but I know he his far more mature and intelligent than a child of his age. I know I can trust him about it, he cares a lot about Konoha, mostly because of Tsunade but that's not the point.

*End of Flashback no Jutsu*

We were finally reaching the meeting point and I could see the Raikage already waiting, I made a signal to one of my Anbu before to scan the surrounding with his Byakugan in case someone was hidden but he found nothing suspicious.

"You took some time huh Hokage-san, quite slow for the fastest shinobi alive." said the Raikage.

"We have more distance to travel than yours, and like you Raikage-san I did not travel alone thus slowing my pace." I replied to him.

"Bwahaha I know I know, I was just joking, let's get to the point because we know how beneficial an alliance between our village can be." he declared becoming more serious for the latter parts.

"Indeed." I answered while we were both taking a scroll from our pouch.

As both of us were approaching each other we suddenly felt heat coming from the side, it was an extremely huge stream of fire that could take us both in it.

Without losing time I used my Water Release: Water Formation Wall to try and stop this fire from injuring us.

This produced a huge amount of steam but some of the fire still hit me and I decided to rush back while screaming "What is the meaning of this Raikage? Did you try to ambush me to weaken Konoha!"

"As if I would do something so pitiful! This is not done by me and not by you either!" he exclaimed

Then who is it...Kiri? They wouldn't have such strong fire Jutsu...

As I was thinking I heard voices which made the Raikage and myself turn to them.

"As expected from the Hokage, right Ginkaku?"

"It's undoubtedly a strong opponent to create so much water without any source nearby, Kinkaku."

As I could only see their silhouette behind the steam I heard the Rakaige blurt out "What do you think you are doing right now Rinkaku, Ginkaku, You were asked to stay in the village not to interfere with our meeting!"

After what was some loud laughter they finally replied "This is a coup d'etat Raikage! Your leading of Kumo does not please us, right Ginkaku?" said Rinkaku

"And if we can take out the Hokage at the same time then that's better! Right Kinkaku?" continued Ginkaku

[A/N: It's hard to not mix them up, also with their language tic...]

So this is the threat Yuichi felt...It will be a hard fight because of their Chakra took from the nine-tails and their treasured tools...

As I looked around me I was surprised to see my Anbu's burned to death and an injured Raikage.

Focusing more on the duo I saw the golden-haired brother wave his strange fan toward the ground, I felt a vibration coming from beneath and barely dodged a series of huge sharp earth spike by jumping high.

But without a second in the air, he sent an extremely strong wind which I expected to evade by teleporting to one of my marks I previously made, but the power and range of the wind were so large it destroyed the places I marked or we're burned or broken by the earlier attacks.

I directly took the blast but protected my head with my arms, the wind cut through my clothing and sliced some of my skin making me heavily bleeds all over my body.

I did not have the time to see how the Raikage was doing, it was not my priority now and I was in quite the predicament and huge disadvantage.

I was finally on the ground again and I could see another attack coming my way and because I was already injured from head to toes, I did not hesitate to take the pill attached to the necklace Yuichi gave me and bites into it as he said.

I don't know what this thing can do but I will trust Yuichi with this one.

The moment the next attack which was a fast stream of lightning neared me, I felt a space-time fluctuation and in the blink of an eye, I found myself in the Senju residence garden.

"What the..."

====================

MC's POV :

"Now is not the time for explanation Granduncle, I need to bring you to Mito for healing. We will talk about it once you are patched up and alone."

I said to Tobirama while passing his arm around my neck.

"Alright, I guess I can listen to you after what happened. You keep amazing me..." he said on our way to Mito's chamber.

As I knocked at the door we heard Mito "Come in."

I opened the door and she saw us but more importantly Tobirama bleeding all over his body.

"The meeting did not go well huh? Yuichi please bring Tobirama on the bed here."

"Yes, Grandma. Please tell me once he has recovered enough, I will stay in the residence."

"Don't worry, I will give him back like he's brand new." She said with a slight smirk while Tobirama sweated a bit.

"...Alright, I will leave you then."

A few hours later Mito came to tell me that Tobirama is at least no longer at risk and she was surprised when he told her about the assault he endured, he should have lost a lot more blood.

Thankfully, she didn't look any further by questioning me.

She knows I always did some strange things but never to hurt my family or friends.

As I knocked on the door Tobirama said "Come in."

"Feeling better Granduncle?"

"After some explaining, yeah sure." he replied while being seated on the bed.

I took a chair to sit near him and started "What I gave you is a special pill that combined your Flying Thunder God Technique with other ingredients...When you bite the pill it will teleport you to the wood clone linked to it no matter the range. That's because the pill will give the one biting it the same chakra signature as the clone used and an extreme amount of it as an equivalent exchange."

"That at least explains how you teleported me in a second for a day worth of distance...This is a great Technique indeed! We need to mass-produce it..." he said before seeing my face and continued

" I guess you can't huh...What problem you have while performing this Jutsu?"

"I indeed cannot produce more of those pills...They use the base of your Technique sure, but then it needs a lot of my chakra in form of wood release...And more importantly, They need life force, my life force...Because the clone needed works as a lifesaver and needs enough of it to do the teleportation." he looked at me in disbelief before I started speaking again

"You should have noticed how you were still fine after biting it...It also protects your important organs and from internal bleeding so you can be safe until healing."

"How much life force did you use?" he said looking slightly mad.

"...One pill needs 10 years' worth of life force."

"Never do another one unless it is to save yourself is that clear? I will classify it as a Kinjutsu from now on." he ordered like a father scolding his son.

"I promise not to create another one, well not a third one haha..." I answered while rubbing the back of my head and acting a bit naive.

"Why do you have a second one already?" he said looking more worried about me.

" It's for Tsunade. I won't let anything happen to her, and 10 years from me is but a small price if she can save her life at a crucial moment." I replied.

It was true after all, I had wished to live forever, 20 years are nothing to me but they don't know, yet though.

"Right now only Grandma and I know that you are already in Konoha. Unless you wish to divulge my Technique which I know you won't..." I said before Tobirama interrupted me "Don't worry, I will stay here until tomorrow, can you put this seal near Konoha's entrance so I can pretend to arrive from the meeting?"

"...Guess I don't need to tell you anything huh. Alright give it to me I will do it now." I said taking his paper marked with the teleportation seal. "Also, Tsunade and her teammates are out for a mission so she shouldn't see you here too." I added while walking out to do my task.

The day I can get rid of Danzō is approaching...
