A/N: So like I said before I'm a new writer for Fan fiction so I'm trying to understand how it works I have had a few mishaps happen but I got it settled and smoothed out for it to work. So now let's move on with the story. Also I will write down answers or statements for you reviewers.
Reviewer answers
Guest: We don't know for sure if the Uzumaki's were or were not a part of the Senju clan, because during the warring states era to stop there clans from dying out some merged with each other (and most likely took the stronger ones name) to bring up their numbers. So 10 -20 generations down the line the Senju's Kekkei Genkai is already bred into the DNA of those clans that joined the Senju clan. So a group of the Senju learning the art of Sealing and breaking off because they no longer wanting to fight is not Cliché as you put it, so that is how the Uzumaki became distant relatives of the Senju. And if the break off group goes in the direction of an enemy clan, then yes risk of attack is high, but the group went towards the ocean away from the enemy.
Another thing there is no possible way the Uzumaki is related to Hamura in my opinion (until the manga says otherwise) because Asura's and Indra's power is also partly derived from Hagoromo being the Jūbi Jinchūriki. Hence why the Uzumaki, and Senju are the only ones able to hold the Kyuubi. And the Uchiha are able to control the Bijū with the Sharingan. The Byakugan only is only able to see threw people (chakra network include) or things, and can see long distances. But can't cast Genjustu or control people with their eyes. Hamura I believe never split his chakra because there was no need to, and evidence the Hyuga clan are all gifted in the Byakugan and gentle fist art. Also their clan symbol is the yin-yang symbol, a balance between spiritual energy and physical energy.

Konohagakure no Sato Twenty years before Kyūbi attack
This was the era of the second shinobi world war, those who were on leave were having fun before going off to war again to most likely die, by getting drunk, dancing, and of course getting lucky, so they let loose. Except for one busty blond beauty who wore her hair in two pig-tails with her bangs drooped down the sides of her face, and she wore a Jōnin uniform. The woman had a sour look on her face the said 'I'm not in the mood, fuck off'.
"Hey Tsunade-hime there you are!" the woman now identified as Tsunade looked to her right to see perverted baka of a teammate Jiraiya.
"What do you want you pervert!" Tsunade said in a sour tone.
"Aw come on Tsunade don't be like that, have some fun!" said Jiraiya in a happy tone with a huge grin.
"I'll be however I want to be, you slimy perverted bastard! Why don't you just go die alone away from me?" Tsunade said in a harsh tone, but Jiraiya couldn't blame her, war always led to death and wounds of Tsunade's father, Tenchi Senju's, death were still there.
"Tsunade you know this was bound to happen, but I promise you that no one else you love is going to die like Tenchi did if I have anything to say about it!" said Jiraiya.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK HIS NAME YOU ROTTEN BASTARD!" she yelled with tears forming in her eyes.
"He was a friend of mine Tsunade, I know how important he was to you, but you still have your brother, and grandmother here." Jiraiya explained.
"Shut up! SHUT UP! I LOVED MY FATHER, I FEEL ALL ALONE NOW THAT HE'S GONE YOU INCONSIDERATE ASSWHOLE!" Tsunade yelled ith fury and swung her fist at Jiraiya, only for her punch to be stopped by her teammate grabbing her wrist before fist could connect.
Jiraiya then pulled Tsunade in a compassionate hug which surprised her. "That's not true you… you still have Sarutobi-sensei, Orochimaru, your brother and grandmother…and me… and I promise I will never leave your side… because I love you." Jiraiya exclaimed. "I always have and always will!" Jiraiya's words had made Tsunade cry tears of joy and sadness.
"Thank you Jiraiya." whispered Tsunade.
"Anytime Hime let me buy you a drink!" stated Jiraiya. Thank goodness the drinks are free or else Jiraiya would've gone broke.
A few hours and many drinks later
We find our current hero and heroine of this era, drunk as a skunk leaning on each other having a good time.
"Oh Jiraiya-kun, you treat me so well." said an intoxicated Tsunade nibbling on Jiraiya's earlobe.
"Anything for you Tsunade-chan~" replied Jiraiya equally intoxicated and grinning like a pervert.
"C'mon!" said Tsunade while dragging Jiraiya out of the bar they were in. "Where are we going Tsunade-hime?" questioned a drunken Jiraiya.
"You'll see!" said Tsunade with a sly smile, they both arrived at the Senju clan estate, which made Jiraiya more curious, and the two travelled the upper floor where Tsunade sleeps.
"Tsunade-hime. What are we doing here?" Jiraiya asked his answer was Tsunade jumping him and kissing him. She pushed him into her room, locked the door, pushed him onto her bed and… you get the idea.
The next morning
"JIRAIYA!" A scream awoke the Gama-sennin (Toad Sage).
"Huh?! What happened?" Jiraiya asked, he turned in the direction of the voice, to see a naked and pissed of Tsunade with an expression that said ready to kill. Now normally Jiraiya would run while he still had the chance, but he was distracted with Tsunade's mountains that were exposed in all there incredible glory. Suddenly while he was distracted by the glorious mounds, Tsunade punched Jiraiya with so much force he went through the wall and landed on the other side of the village, unfortunately for him it was in the women's side of the Hot Springs. Throughout all this after Tsunade's sobering punch Jiraiya had one thought 'what did I do?'
A few weeks later
In the weeks following Tsunade and Jiraiya's little incident, we find Tsunade sitting in the Senju clan compound in turmoil about a new discovery she uncovered just that morning, she was pregnant. Tsunade Senju heiress to the Senju clan, granddaughter to the Shodai Hokage, lead medic of Konohagakure Hospital, was pregnant. Not just pregnant, but pregnant with Jiraiya's, her perverted teammates child.
She didn't know what to do, she didn't want to go to her sensei because he would have to tell the council, and the council will make a big deal about it. So she went to one person who she could trust, her grandmother Mito Uzumaki.
(Flash Back: Few hours ago)
Tsunade was walking through the Senju compound towards her grandmothers little house in one of the many forests, in the compound where she moved to after her grandfather died, and Tenchi her father became clan head. As she headed for the door she soon came apon it and knocked.
'Tap, Tap, Tap'
"Come in Tsunade, I'm in the kitchen!"said the old weak voice of Mito Uzumaki.(A/N: I presume Mito has the ability to sense chakra and discern whose chakra is whose)
Tsunade then walked in, taking her heels of at the door, and headed toward the back of the house where the kitchen was.
"Hello Mito-baa-chan!"Tsunade said greeting her grandmother with a hug to.
"Hello Tsunade-chan! What brings you here?"Asked Mito in a welcoming, but concerned voice.
"Can I not come visit my grandmother!?"Questioned/asked Tsunade.
"Well normally that wouldn't be a problem Tsunade-chan, but I sense that your emotions are in turmoil and you never visit me unless you want advice on training, or to vent about that teammate of yours." stated Mito with amusement making Tsunade pout.
"Well it's about my teammate again!" stated Tsunade with a little venom in her tone."Three weeks ago when I was mourning father's death, I was drinking in the shinobi only bar four blocks away from the jounin lounge, and Jiraiya showed up. We got into a little spat, and he said he loved me and won't let anything happen to me like what happened to Tō-san."Tsunade stated quietly. "He then offered to get me drinks and we both drank for a couple of hours. I don't remember what happened after that, but I woke up the next morning naked right next to him, so I punched him out of my room, threw the wall!"Exclaimed Tsunade with anger in her voice.
"Last week I was supposed to start menstruating, but it didn't happen. Then at the start of this week I started to get morning sickness. I didn't want to believe it, so I went to the hospital to get checked out…and I'm pregnant!" Tsunade exclaimed saddened that her ninja career was going to end now, but mad at Jiraiya for getting her pregnant.
"What should I do baa-Chan? War is about to break out with Iwa, and Suna, and I can't stay and raise a baby that will most likely become a target if word gets out I'm going to have a child, the hospital will need me along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru if we all go out on missions together!"Hysterically stated Tsunade with a frustrated look on her face.
"Hmmmm ... Have you talked to Hiruzen about this yet?" questioned Mito.
"No, I have not said a word to Sarutobi-sensei about it, because he would have to tell the council and that war-hawk Danzou about it, and they will make it a big deal. Danzou may or may not try and take the child from me. Soon after more than likely the whole of Konoha would find out about it, then the rest of the elemental nations. Soon after my child and me would become a target of assassination for being related to the Senju especially grandfather!"Replied Tsunade and Mito nodding knowingly.
"Hmmmmm have the child, when it comes put it in the orphanage till the war is over then come and claim the child later as yours!"Stated Mito wisely. "I would say leave it here with his or her great Obaa-chan, but alas I am but an old woman living alone with my granddaughter a kunoichi, and my grandson well on his way to becoming a shinobi."
"Are you sure that's wise baa-chan. What would happen if someone found out the baby is mine in the mean time?" asked Tsunade. With concern in her voice.
"Yes Tsunade that is the wisest thing to do if you are not here to take care of the child, because it showed you cared enough to offer a home to the child that you yourself could not have provided at the time. And I don't think anyone would find out the child is yours if you take great caution and precaution in hiding him from the world till the time is right." Mito Stated wisely like the wise old lady she is. She knew what it's like to raise a child during war time, even when it was hard on her when her husband wasn't around to comfort her.
Tsunade was thinking it over in her head about the pros of this, her child being safe and being taken care of like it should be. The cons about it, is she wouldn't be able to watch him/her grow up, and wouldn't be able to train or help him or her if he/she joins the academy and wants to become a ninja. So Tsunade steeled her resolve to protect her child at all costs and eventually come back for him, then her eyes widened when she remembered something.
"What do I tell Jiraiya?! How do I tell him he got me pregnant, and that I will be put it in the orphanage till the war's end?" Tsunade asked franticly wanting to get an answer from Mito.
"You Tell him nothing until the war is over for the protection of future generations of the Senju clan. The less amount of people who know about the child the better, so enemies of the Senju in and out of the village don't send assassins beforehand if they find out prematurely of who the parents are." Replies Mito in a tone that left no more room for argument.
'Even if Jiraiya is Tobirama's grandson, I cannot let the heir to the Senju clan be a target before he can even talk or talk.' Thought Mito.
"Now do you want some tea Tsunade-Chan?" asked Mito with smile.
(Flash Back End)
Nine Months later
It has been nine months since Tsunade talked to her grandmother about what to do about her child. Afterwards she went to her sensei to ask for an extended mission away from Jiraiya and the village which he granted to her because he understood her plight (but not knowing the real reason behind it).
It was also during this time that Jiraiya received a prophecy concerning him while training on Mt. Myōboku from Gamamaru the ŌGama-Sennin(Great Toad Sage). Firstly saying that he would go on to become a talented shinobi, and a pervert without equal. He would also walk across the world as a sage, "observing all creation, watching as nature takes its course," and in doing so he would also write a book. The Gama-Sennin aslso told Jiraiya that he would one day have a student with the power to save or destroy the world, and that it would be his actions that would determine which path this student took.
It was after Jiraiya found out Tsunade left that he went to his sensei and told him about the prophecy the Toad sage gave him.
(Flash Back Nine Months Earlier)
Jiraiya was walking through the Senju compound closing in the clan head house on his way to talk to Tsunade about what happened between them a few weeks before. He was almost there when he sensed a chakra signature to his right coming towards him from the forests in the direction of Mito's little house. Jiraiya then honed his senses to see who it was, and found out that it was Mito herself on the way to see him most likely sensing him too so he waited for her to meet up with him.
It only took a few minutes for her to show and when she did she started speaking, "She's not here." She started to explain.
"Where did she go?" Jiraiya questioned already knowing he isn't going to like it.
"Hiruzen gave her an extended mission at her own request, she won't be back for ten months." replied Mito irked that she was interrupted.
"Why'd she do that?" asked a confused Jiraiya not knowing the real reason like Hiruzen.
"She needed to get away from the village for a short time, so she can finish copping with the loss of her father." Said Mito "I suggest that you not go searching for her either you know how she gets when she is upset, and I'm sure that Hiruzen won't like that either." finished Mito knowing Jiraiya knew how Tsunade gets when upset and that Hiruzen won't like Jiraiya taking off to go after her.
"I know what you mean!" stated Jiraiya a shiver going down his spine remembering being punched across the village.
Jiraiya then sighed and after thanking Mito, turned and left the compound thinking about what he would say to Tsunade the next time he saw her. Which soon lead him to thinking about travelling the world like the Toad Sage said he would be doing after visiting his sensei.
Hokage Office
Jiraiya just arrived outside the window to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage's office to tell him about the prophecy that he received from the great Toad Sage. And knocked, hearing a faint "come in" from the Hokage sitting at his desk doing the bane of all Kages 'Paperwork'.
Jiraiya opened the window and hopped in saying, "Hey sensei, how's it going?" asked Jiraiya smiling at his sensei.
"Ah, Jiraiya-kun it's nice to see you again! How was your training with the toads?" asked the Hokage smiling at Jiraiya.
" It was very fulfilling to say the least sensei, got started training in senjustu chakra (sage chakra), and received a prophecy from the OGama-Sennin regarding me." Stated Jiraiya in a happy tone before becoming serious.
Hiruzen became serious after that statement to and asked, "What is this prophecy you speak of?" questioned the Hokage curious about what it would be.
"The prophecy the Great Sage gave me said, 'that I would go on to become a talented shinobi, and a pervert without equal. I would also walk across the world as a sage, "observing all creation, watching as nature takes its course," and in doing so I would also write a book. The Gama-Sennin also told me that I would one day have a student with the power to save or destroy the world, and that it would be my actions that would determine which path this student took.' So it looks like I have to travel the world like the sage said and find this 'Child of Prophecy'." Said Jiraiya looking at his sensei with determination in his eyes.
"Hmmm, looks like you have a big responsibility, and duty ahead of yourself Jiraiya." Stated the Sandaime.
"So am I able to leave on this mission sensei?" asked Jiraiya still in the serious tone.
"If what you told me is true then I see no reason for you not to go on a training trip of sorts for a short time to find this 'child of prophecy' and find inspiration for that book you are suppose to write." replied the Hokage.
"Thank you sensei I will leave within the next few days so I guess I will see you when you call me back to the village." Stated Jiraiya with a smile and jumped back out the window.
Sarutobi turned in his chair to look out the window towards the village and thought 'I hope you do find this child of prophecy Jiraiya, because from what you told me the prophecy says you will change the world'. And with that the sandaime went back to doing his paperwork.
(Flashback End)
Konohagakure no Sato One A.M.
It was one in the morning in Konoha with only a few people out and about, at bars and having fun most of them in-active shinobi who are on leave from the war that started just a few months ago. With the First Shinobi World War ending with an armistice treaty, it left the Five Great Shinobi Nations seriously wounded. The treaty led to the last sixteen years of peace, until the economic disparity between the countries had become a serious problem. The nations began to form factions, and under the pretext of expanding fair rights, the countries started to use military force to expand their territories, Thus, the war started.
First, it was Sunagakure trying to expand its territory into what would later be known as Kawa no Kuni, so it would have farm land for crops and water going into the country. Kirigakure soon followed trying to get parts of the mainland so Mizu no Kuni would have some form of mainland territory. Finally, it was Iwagakure and Konohagakure. Konohagakure invaded Ame no Kuni first, after Konoha intelligence division found out after capturing an Iwa spy, that they were going to attack Ame to get to Hi no Kuni's borders and have a foot hold for later expanding.
It was why Tsunade Senju was moving around the konoha at one in the morning with a bundle in her arms. The bundle in her arms was her baby boy that she had at an undisclosed location with a couple of hired midwives from a town somewhere in Hi no Kuni. Now she was finally in the Leaf where she would take her and Jiraiya's baby to the orphanage till she can come back and take care of him.
She decided to give her baby after her grandfather, Hashirama. Her Baby had blonde hair like her but it was spiky like his father's, he had cerulean blue eyes like her mother, but had features of his father there. She soon arrived at the orphanage and looked down at Hashirama, "I promise I will come back for you, when the war is over! But until then, stay safe here at this nice home where you can make friends so I don't have to live in fear of you being attacked and you won't grow up lonely." Tsunade said with tears rolling down her face. She kissed Hashirama's head as he started crying and put him down on the front step, pulled out a note with his name on it and a short note, 'Take care of him till I return'.
She knocked and fled through the forest into the village away from the orphanage, though she did not notice the small gust of wind that blew by the front door, and whisked the card with the name and note on it away into the nearby river. It was at that moment the door opened and a young woman in her early twenties walked out, she then heard the crying baby and looked down. She gasped and picked the baby up into her arms.
"She … It's okay little one, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here!" said the young woman.
The baby stopped crying and opened his eyes for the first time. The child had gorgeous cerulean eyes and he looked up at the woman curiously.
"Aren't you adorable!" she said. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." With this the baby giggled with an adorable smile. The young woman took the infant in her arms inside the orphanage.
"You have a name right?!" the woman asked. Only for her response only to be stared at with a confused look.
"Of course not, I'll call you… Minato, do you like that name?" the baby giggled at the name. "I guess you do… My name is Haruko, and it's nice to meet you Minato!" Haruko said with a smile looking at the giggling baby.
A/N: DONE, ok well it may seem I am dragging this on and what not but I am trying to lead up to the Kyūbi attack and what not. Then I will be moving on to Naruto and getting to the main story. Some of you guys will wonder why Tsunade never went back for Minato and stuff like that! But it will be explained in the next chapter then I will move on to Naruto and get the story rolling along faster! (metaphorically I can only go as fast as my brain lets me)
P.S Jiraiya will also find out that his grandfather is Tobirama much, much later on.
