Chapter 04

It's already been a few weeks since Tobirama was ambushed by the gold and silver brothers.

Now for everyone in Konoha, Tobirama came back to the village with a few bruises and got ambushed by the brothers who tried a coup d'etat.

One surprising new thought was the death of the second Raikage by the hands of the brothers.

This shouldn't have happened in the original, I am sure it's because of the early extraction of Tobirama making the Raikage the only prey thus dying instead of being left near death.

Now the war still goes on and Tobirama is leading his team at the Kumo front.

Thankfully the death of the Raikage did not make the feud between Kumo and Konoha more fueled.

Well, the now appointed third Raikage may be short-fused but he's aware of the true perpetrator of the murder.

And right now Tobirama's team is chased by the Kinkaku Force, which consists of at least twenty highly skilled shinobi from Kumo.

"We are surrounded! There are at least twenty enemies...I think it's the Kinkaku Force?" said Tobirama

"With Hokage-sama we are only seven...The only way we have is to send someone as a diversion to let the other flee." said Homura Mitokado

"Use someone as a bait? But...who?" replied Torifu Akimichi

"I will do it!" said Danzō in an assured tone

This surprised everybody before Hiruzen shouted "Danzō! Are you sure about this? I should d-"

"No Hiruzen, I know you are the one fit to become the next Hokage...I was always second to you in everything so let me at least have one step ahead and die on the battlefield...Like my father and my grandfather!" Danzō retorted

"As the leader, I should be the lure..." proposed Tobirama before Danzō cut him out "No way! You are the Hokage, without you, Konoha will be in a difficult position! I will do it for the safety of Konoha..."

"...Alright...You shall be remembered by every Konoha citizen." Answered Tobirama with complicated feelings getting up as the footsteps were approaching, before continuing "Everyone else follows me, we shall respect Danzō last wish!"

Danzō POV:

No! Why? Why am I saying this! I don't want to die!

"Because you are not the one in control of your body." I suddenly heard a voice talking in my head

"Who?! Impossible! YUICHI how can you control my body and even words? How can you send your team leader to death! You shouldn't have any Genjutsu...No I should have sensed it if there was...Then, how?" I said confused

Well, I would make some people proud of it but...It's for the greater good of anyone living at Konoha." he replied before continuing "And as to how...I can explain to you anyway, remember when we were sent on a team mission I was the one cooking right? Well...Let's say I put a certain seed in your food...The seed awakened once it was in your intestine as a wood clone and like a parasite pierced it and slowly climbed to your brain."

He inhaled a little before resuming "Now the interesting part...This clone of mine was made with my cells and can combine itself with yours with enough time.

I made him merge with your brain around the place it sends or receives signals to your entire body, mostly to control your movements and speech by making the clone sends all signals in your place and interfering with yours at will."

"It takes times of course to set all this up...And you won't remember our interaction anyway, modifying your memories isn't difficult right now."

"And I will make sure nothing is left of you...For safety purposes." he finished before vanishing from my mind as many shinobi surrounded me before sending a huge fire stream from all directions.

My last memories were the feeling of being burned from every side of my body.

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

The same year as the previous event, the war ended.

Not without loss, A enormous burial was held for every Shinobi who died recently.

Apart from Danzō, Tsunade's and my parents which were sent on a long-term mission perished, their body recovered by Anbu.

This already lowered the Senju family to three members being Tsunade, Tobirama, and myself.

Danzō was hailed as Konoha savior, by allowing Tobirama withdrawal so the village did not lose its Hokage.

Tsunade tried to stay strong once we learned about our parent's death. She swore to me to become the strongest medical-nin to ever exist, to protect me...Well, she doesn't need to but I won't destroy her ambition.

Because Tobirama didn't die, he still works as the Hokage so Hiruzen will train the Sannin until they can take part in the Chūnin exam.

Dai, Shikuro, and I lost our leader due to his sacrifice. I asked Tobirama to help me train at least until the Chūnin exam and told him a certain tip: use a Shadow Clone for Hokage's paperwork.

Shikuro being a special insect user, was to be trained by the current generation Rinkaichū Jōnin.

Maito Dai was trained by one of the current strongest Taijutsu users called Chen, a Jōnin who contributed a lot during the first war and around Hiruzen generation.

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

During training with Tobirama.

"Say Yuichi, once you are old enough won't you become Hokage? You refused to do the Chūnin exam without your teammates even if you could, you might become the youngest Jōnin too..."

Said Tobirama watching me perform some Ninjutsu he created

"Well...I have no interest in becoming the Hokage, Hiruzen is fit to become the third, and having another Senju as a Hokage for the fourth could be problematic...

Although, once I pass the Chūnin exam I will tell you my idea for the greater goods of Konoha."

I answered cheerfully after performing an A-ranked Technique without the need for hands signs

" It's because of those Uchiha..."

"Granduncle! Do not discriminate against them, after all, they are undoubtedly a great force of Konoha and you know what I am now..." I declared to him

That's right, during training I awakened my Sharingan with three tomoe, and with the Tenseigan it did not change the overall color when activated, the tomoe appeared linked by a line, and the iris which was dark blue become black.

[Picture here if I don't forget]

"True...who would have thought your father was an Uchiha, we still don't know who, and it shall stay between us for now, though it doesn't explain your eyes in their normal state." Tobirama replied still wondering about my Dôjutsu

"Yeah how curious...Anyway, we finished training for the day right? I want to see how Tsunade's doing." I said changing the topic of conversation

"Yes, and you are too protective of he-...He's already gone."

As I was on my way to see Tsunade I suddenly heard "YUICHI! Come and have another contest with me!" Said Dai while smiling with bright teeth while doing a thumbs up

"Dai...Okay but a fast one I'm in a hurry."

"Let's do a race to your destination then!"

Dai said with a fire burning through his eyes

"Alright, guess I can agree with this it will be faster."

"Then let's start in three, two, o-"

"Ask me where I'm going first before starting idiot! It feels like you are more in a hurry than me!"

"AH I FORGOT!"

"...You're hopeless."

Running against Dai was funny, and he surprised me when he suddenly said "Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain!" dude is on fire to beat me in a running contest to the point of opening four of the eight gates, making his skin red and eyes completely blank.

"You're amazing me...But it will not be enough if we can use Jutsu then I will no be polite!" As I launched a Kunai far away and teleported myself to it. What? It's not cheating I swear!

But I will learn from him the eight gates, it's such a strong technique and I wonder if I open them all will I die? I should discover something to ease the backlash.

Oh, it seems I'm first...I thought while reaching the training place of Team Hiruzen.

"Oh Yuichi-kun! Came to see how your friends are doing?" Hiruzen said as he saw me appear near him not shocked from my use of Flying Thunder God.

"Yes, I was training too with Tobirama-sensei and thought about coming here right after...And I'm early because of a certain someone- there he is."

"I LOST AGAIN! Yuichi-san I will win one day!" Dai said slightly exhausted by the use of the gates but still energetic enough to shout

"So it was him again...What made him so exhausted, I felt a weird chakra fluctuation around him?"

Hiruzen asked slightly curious

"He asked for a running contest and while training with Chen-san he developed an interesting Jutsu, though it shouldn't be spread from what I understand." I answered while looking at Dai still taking his breath...Looks like he still cannot withstand the drawback.

"Yuichi-nii!" I heard a voice shouting in my direction and turned my head

"Oh Tsu-" OOF damn we did not saw each other for a while but I did not expect her to run at me like a bull

"Alright Tsu-chan sorry for not seeing you for so long but could you please get off me?" I said after getting pushed to the ground by her

"Hehe, I'm just happy, and I want to show you my progress!" she said cheerfully

"Alright alright, want to spar with me then?" I replied to her with a smirk

"Bring it on! We can right Hiruzen-sensei?" she asked with puppy eyes

"...Alright, OROCHIMARU, JIRAIYA COME HERE!"

He yelled at them to stop sparring

"Oh Yuichi you're here? What for?" Jiraiya said with dust all around his clothes

"Hello Yuichi-san." said Orochimaru in a polite tone

"I came to see Tsu- you guys how you were doing." I said almost slipping my true objective

"Oy you almost said for Tsunade-chan only basta-" he said before getting interrupted by Tsunade punch

"Well, I can do what I want alright!" I retorted, damn he can hear anything if it's about women!

"YOU SISCON BROCON WEIRDOS" he screamed bleeding from his nose due to the punch while getting up from the hit

"That's not true..." x2 we said in unison and looked at each other for a while and laugh a bit about it

I guess since we know, more since Tsunade know I am not her blood brother she developed a feeling stronger than sibling bonds.

Though because of our age romantic feelings are something new and premature.

"Let's see how strong you are now Tsu-chan."

We placed each other in the training area and took our fighting stance, each of us smirked and rushed at each other trading blows after blows, I blocked any hits coming my way while she dodged mine.

She has a good instinct and I feel how strong she is when blocking her blows.

"Seems like you are ready for the Chūnin exam, as I can feel in term of fighting."

I said between the confrontation

"Now I hope your healing techniques are on point too."

"Don't worry, according to Grandma I'm a genius in it!" She impatiently said

"We should stop here or the training ground will no longer exist."

And watching Hiruzen's face was funny, we are giving him more job to do, thought replacing earth should be easy for him.

Once he's Hokage I will maybe not tell him the cheat of shadow clone...He will peep less without it.

"OOOOOH YUICHI! I'm on fire after your spar fight me!" said Dai in high spirit

"You masochist, I don't want to feel Yuichi fist again...Though I won't mind if it's Tsunade." mumbled Jiraiya

"I wouldn't say that if I were you Jiraiya-san." politely answered Orochimaru

"I agree, I want to punch you more now." I said appearing in front of Jiraiya with a fast body flicker

"...I am sorry!" responds Jiraiya performing a fast dogeza

"Whatever, Hiruzen-san we will go home for now, have a nice evening!" I said before turning myself to the direction of our house

"Bye!" said Tsunade waving her hands to them behind me

We plan to do the Chūnin exam once we are ten years old which is soon.

And I will have a good gift for Tsunade once we succeed.
