(Pre-Time Skip Prologue)
*Queue Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison *
My first 8 years being Konoha was as any normal kid would be. Enjoying the sights and views of Village Hidden in Leaves. The village had actually rebounded very well after the devastation caused by the Kyuubi attack. Also, not to add in the fact that the Senju clan had indeed returned to the village. With Tsunade returning and the announcement of me being Tobirama's son, morale skyrocketed. The medical fields of our shinobi advanced drastically under Tsunade's and Shizune's watch; which resulted in producing more able field medics in most ninja squads. Konoha shinobi were slowly regaining their chagrin and most villages were starting to take note.
Citizens were believing that we were returning back to greatness. With a lower fatality rate for ninja in action, more missions were completed. It was almost like the money was coming through from all angles. There was absolutely no sign of the Kyuubi attack, it was a distant reminder, something forgotten.
The Senju Compound was amazing, we had our own area near the outskirts of Konoha. It was awesome, the foundation was made out of Hashirama's wood release. It was massive, a large koi pond was located in the center of the entrance. There were many libraries located throughout the compound, most likely for clan history; ninjutsu theory, medical theory, and basic/intermediate to advanced chakra control aspects. Basic necessities in order to become a full fledged ninja. There were multiple training grounds laid out around the complex, for taijutsu, shurikenjutsu; you name it. To the south of the compound was a clearing in the forest and there was a large lake, with a waterfall cascading in the back. It was most likely created by Tobirama in order to train his water and wind manipulation. The Senju compound was the ideal set up for any ninja to grow and thrive; not completely isolated from the village but you were able to train without any outside intrusion.
Tsunade took really good care of me being a surrogate mother of sorts. I had my own ocean blue room, filled with different wildlife ranging from different amphibians, frogs, toads, and salamanders. I had my original ornate crib that I traveled through time in, with Tobirama's Flying Raijin inscribed on the side; a constant reminder that I was his son. As any hungry child would, I was breastfed until I reached the ripe age of two; constantly throwing tantrums because well I was fucking hungry, and a growing boy. Tsunade would always call me " a hungry little shag" due to the mound of white hair I had. Then it developed into the coveted nickname "shaggy". Throughout this period, despite her hard work in the hospital with Shizune, she always had enough energy to entertain me once she got home.
Shizune grew into a sister role, trying to influence me not to dive into any of Tsunade's vices. It was hilarious to witness Shizune and Tsunade argue about gambling and drinking.
"I'm a grown ass woman Shizune, I can do whatever I want to, when I want!" Tsunade sternly told her, trying to grab the sake away from Shizune; who was on the verge of pouring it all out. All the while there I was sitting in my crib, watching the event occur from a safe distance.
"Not in my life will I let you either drink or gamble in front of Kaito!" Shizune promptly stated, then she completely emptied the whole bottle of sake. Right in front of an already angry Tsunade.
This is what really caused WWII, you just don't do these things Shizune.
To my surprise, Tsunade completely dropped her anger, and…. gave up? This baffled both me and my sister. After that incident in the kitchen, what really surprised me was to see that despite her love for sake, Tsunade really cut down on drowning herself in her sorrows. I guess I changed her whole perspective on life; being the new light in her life.
Move over Naruto, but you could be another Nawaki to her I guess.
The Hyuga affair did end up not happening after all. Due to me being Tobirama's son, the heightened tensions were still there. Plus I don't think that they didn't like the idea of fucking with a stronger, Senju backed Konoha. I didn't really get it; you were going to hold a grudge over my father taking out all those bastards by himself? But I guess if Naruto was revealed immediately to be Yondaime's son, then there would've been no attempt in canon.
I really didn't need to have Neji have a stick up his ass the whole time either way. It would've been really annoying to deal with.
Speaking of clan business being reinstated as a clan, and with the future being on the line as the sole heir of the Senju, as I was crowned Prince of the Senju. Tsunade started to bring me to clan gatherings. The Senju had previously strong ties with the Sarutobi's, the Nara's and the Yamanaka's. We quickly became friends with the Akimichi
as well. Which meant that from an early age, I was quickly assimilated with the young new heirs to their represented clans: Shikamaru, Choji and Ino. Unlike in canon, I would try my best to get them close to their maximum potential before conflicts with Madara, Obito and Pain. Speaking of, when I was old enough, with Tsunade's permission, I would invite Naruto to live with us in the compound. It was enraging not to have even met the knucklehead yet, but this was before he even got kicked out of the orphanage. He was family after all! I would have to work on some of his less desirable traits too because he would be a real game changer once he took being a ninja seriously.
You know the Clan Reinstatement Act. I didn't want a harem of women, but I had a feeling that once I got around the age where I would be in the ninja academy, civilians and other clans would be fawning over me. I personally wouldn't want to be in a relationship with more than one or two women, at most. What I really needed to focus on was to become a shinobi on the level of my father. But I also won't be paranoid to the point of having the need to get absurdly strong. Another thing is that I won't be picking up any new eyes; from the incoming Uchiha Massacre. It was unfortunate that it was heading in the same path as it was in canon, with every passing day tensions with the village and the Uchiha were growing. It was a situation that was unavoidable and it was closing in on coming to a head.
Another thing that changed with the Hyuga's was that Hinata and Hanabi's mother, Hikari, did not end up dying. Tsunade ended up healing her at the last minute. Those careless pricks took long enough to let her condition worsen until she was a couple of days away from dying on her bed. I remember wondering where Tsunade was because she promised me that we would begin learning ninja arts for the first time. She had her normal shift at the hospital, and even Shizune, who had been promoted to jonin at the time, returned before her. Tsunade returned home that night completely exhausted, apologized to me and explained why she was late. Due to her actions, the Hyuga clan was now in debt to the Senju.
Tsunade and Shizune both started my training when I was around 6 years old to prepare me for the academy. Given that I had the opportunity to have 2 years of actual training with basic to intermediate chakra control, with some actual helpful jutsu in hand would be great. Well I thought it was going to be somewhat easy. Oh boy was I so wrong.
It all started on a saturday morning, with both my family members deciding it was the perfect day to start up my training. Tsunade and Shizune were outside at the training ground, wearing their normal canon outfits; ready to mold me into an absurdly strong genin. I decided to go along in a navy blue t-shirt with a senju emblem emblazoned on the front, black shorts and shinobi sandals. To my dismay Tsunade was grinning ear to ear once I finally arrived at the scene.
"Alright Kaito, today marks the first day we will shape you into what your father was! It's not going to be easy, but it will be well worth it once you reach the academy." Tsunade said with a smirk, arms crossed over her busty figure. She then pointed to the compound. "Time to make the Senju proud, Kaito. I know every single one of them will be watching over you."
"Alright Mom, what will you have me do first?" I said with curiosity brimming out of me, I really wondered what type of hellish training I would receive from the Sannin. It was then I decided to get a good stretch in before the real games began.
"For physical exercises, I want to get your stamina up, so you will begin the run around the Senju compound twice. Then I want you to do 25 pushups in two sets and 25 situps and crunches in two sets. By the time you are done we will work on your shurikenjutsu. After that we will work on unlocking your chakra, and if you're capable of doing all of this with no problem; we can see what nature affinity you possess." Tsunade said with a smirk on her face, she had really wanted to test to see if I would give up after hearing all of this.
The Senju Compound was fucking massive, after I scanned the area, "You better get that paper ready for me Okaasan" I said with my voice trailing behind me as I ran.
Yeah right, Tsunade was on my ass. I'm glad she was taking it seriously though.
Maybe if I was in my 20 year old body this would've been a lot simpler; but going for a 3 mile run in a 4 year olds body was not all that easy, twice no less. Physically my body was slowly giving up after my first circle around the compound, but mentally I still had that same mindset when I was in the gym. Eat shit Tsunade, I got this fucking shit in the bag you big boobed bitch. Dumb broad. I was mentally cursing her out when I saw her waving to me with a shit eating grin. I gave her the thumbs up though. I wish I had those Uzumaki genes though that would be nice. It was a struggle but I ended up back at the training grounds that Tsunade and Shizune were at, then I started hammering out each set of 25 with pain and fatigue starting to spread throughout my body. LIGHTWEIGHT BABY! TIME TO BLEED! As the great Ronnie Coleman would say, back when I was on Earth, he was the greatest bodybuilder. I felt like him. I eventually got through all of that hell, with my body all sore. It was then the screen that I seemingly forgot about appeared again.

Holy shit, I almost forgot about it! 'Disappear'. Damn I almost forgot about having the Gamer, all the time that had passed when I came into the world, when I was granted the two titles. Due to not having the Gamer's mind or body; I could physically and mentally feel the pain that was inflicted on me during that conditioning circuit Tsunade had me running. Wait, speaking of how about it…..

Damn, okay Pops you are really carrying me right now, thank you. I had to muffle a laugh after seeing that my stats would go up when facing an Uchiha, I guess I really did inherit his racism after all. All jokes aside, despite all the political conflicts going on in Konoha, he had to be pragmatic. Plus I guess I am scorned in a way too. I was sitting there on the training ground recovering. Let's see what we have to start with. 'Status'

Okay, sweet, this is a great start. I have somewhat of a foundation, and considering that I'm doing training at a younger age with these boosts will help me out a lot. Plus I have a considerable amount of chakra. 'Skills'

Alright it looks like this will consistently go up each time I use it. Might as well get used to feeling the strain of having low stamina. These titles sure do help though. One last thing. 'Inventory'
It took a moment but I was viewing a screen that had an image of me on it. Like I was staring in a mirror! There I was, in my navy blue t-shirt with the Senju logo on it, black cargo shorts, and shinobi sandals. My shaggy white hair, with gray streaks in it, with steel gray eyes, plus the red marking adorning each cheek. So I was the spitting image of him huh, really wish I had his red eyes though, that would make the look.
It turns out I had no inventory slots, which was fine with me, so that meant I would have to carry everything by hand or by scroll. No big deal, it would make me look less suspicious if I just had something appear out of thin air. I nodded to myself, even though I had a nerfed version of the Gamer, the titles that I got at birth would make me overpowered, in some sense. I took a 10 minute break to evaluate what abilities I have, after my workout. I was eager to take a stab at learning how to throw shuriken and kunai. To my surprise my sister Shizune was waiting for me, ready to teach me the basics.
She had each target set up, with my surprise having each shuriken, kunai, and even senbon there for me to use. I knew in canon she had mastered throwing senbon, and other projectiles in her repertoire. Fuck yes, Tsunade has this training course juiced up. I need everything I can get out of this. I grinned, I was going to be able to master throwing projectiles within a couple weeks. I walked over to the waiting Shizune at the target set up.
Shizune was smiling, "About time you got here, but you did a great job; so I decided to throw in senbon per Tsunade's requests. Throwing the senbon will be the last thing we will practice, as I will instruct the proper throwing form for kunai and shuriken because they are the most similar. Throwing senbon is a little more difficult and requires a different technique and approach." she said, as we made our way to the table.
She picked up the shuriken and then a kunai after she hit the target square on, bullseye. "You don't want to be too rigid, it's not like throwing rocks in the lake, Kaito." Shizune stated. When I was around 4 or 5, I would love to spend time around my father's lake at the Senju Compound, throwing rocks and stones alike into the water. I originally couldn't hit the board for a solid 5 minutes, until Shizune started to get more hands on, positioning myself in the right direction to get a better grasp of throwing kunai and shuriken alike. After around 20 minutes, I was able to hit the board more consistently, no bullseyes though. Then we proceeded to move into senbon throwing. It was the same as before, but I had a harder time hitting the board. It was progressing slower than kunai and shuriken, but I was getting better. No need to bury myself in the ground training, so I stopped after an hour of working on the shurikenjutsu arts. Shizune was happy with my progression, and that's all that mattered. That's when I got…
[New Skill Acquired: Shurikenjutsu

Skill Tree Branch Unlocked: Kunai Throwing - Lvl 3

Fuck yeah! That was some good work though, this will go up in no time. I nodded to myself, it was time for lunch; so Shizune and I walked together to the kitchen. Then I had decided it was time to learn how to cook. So since our fridge was stocked, I put together a mean sandwich.
[New Skill: Cooking- Lvl 1]
Well that works, I just started with something simple and it gave me a level. No need to go crazy over making something easy and expecting it to do wonders in return. But it would come in handy when I start making bigger meals to replenish myself after working out, or just training in general. That reminds me, where is Tsunade? I need to resume my training right?
It was mid afternoon when I found Tsunade, she was outside near the lake in the backyard. Meditating until she opened her eyes and recognized my presence right near her. She looked me in the eyes and said soothingly, "Ah, you made it; you have done very well so far, how about you come and join me for the last part of your training for today? You surprised both Shizune and me, no doubt your father would be proud of you making a great first step of becoming a shinobi." She motioned me over and I nodded and moved over quickly, deciding to sit down and meditate with her. Once I got over there, she told me "When you close your eyes, I want you to concentrate on finding a warm spot in your body, that is where your chakra will be at." It was then I followed suit and joined her, closing my eyes and clearing everything out of my mind. Meditating wasn't really all that hard; it took me a couple minutes, and I was able to pull on my chakra, and that feeling was explosive. I felt like I had a great ocean stored within me. I took hold of the vast amount of chakra that I had and pulled on it. That wasn't a good idea.
Tsunade had woken me up, and was impressed and pissed. She was mirthing something to herself like, "how does he even have these reserves at a young age? It was like I was in the presence of my granduncle again!" It was then I decided to talk to her, "Hey Okaasan, what happened?" genuinely confused, as for I had no idea what had really happened. She looked into my eyes, arms crossed around her chest, and bluntly stated, "Well you just alerted all of Konoha with your presence, and all the while unlocking your chakra in the process. I don't know if I should be proud or mad!" It was then I got….
[New Skill Acquired: Meditation Lvl 5]
[You unlocked your chakra]
[New Skill Acquired: Bloodlust Lvl 2]
Well that explains it, I subconsciously pulled on Bloodlust and everyone lost their shit, well I guess that was worth it. I grinned; before stating "Well since I unlocked my chakra, you seem to be forgetting about something." Getting up and moving towards her, acting all smug as humanly possible. I knew for a fact that she wasn't expecting me to complete the first training session, as hard as she made it. She admitted defeat and started to pull out a paper, "Well since you were able to do everything that I desired for you to get done today, on your first training session with me no less, I'll allow you to test your chakra nature." I walked over to her and channeled my chakra throughout the paper, seemingly causing it to become sopping wet as if it was hit by a monsoon, then cut to pieces by a pair of claws. FUCK YES, not only do I have a strong affinity with water, but I also have a strong affinity with wind too! I was excited, evidently as I proceeded to jump in the air, knowing that having dual affinites was a rarity for most. Tsunade was dumbfounded, yeah sure she expected me to have a strong affinity for water, but to also have another affinity that was only a little bit weaker in wind was mind boggling for her. But to top it off I got this…
[Completed Training with Tsunade, The Slug Sannin]
+2 to all stats
Looks like these next two years are going to be fruitful in the least.
—-
Today was going to be the first day of the ninja academy. According to canon this is where the original Konoha 11 will be a part of. To be excited would be an understatement, I would finally meet some of the more interesting characters in the verse. But off the bat, I cannot show everyone what I had learned over the past two years up until this point. What Tsunade had done was basically transformed me into a beast, well for any regular genin up to the higher tier chunin, I would be absolutely broken. Therefore, I will conceal most, or maybe even all the knowledge and experience that I had picked up with the Slug Sannin. Never let them know your next move. I thought all the while making my way towards the Academy. I was walking the streets of Konoha with a black and blue shirt/vest combination with the Senju emblem emblazoned on it with bandages along my wrists to my elbows, along with black shinobi pants bandaged around my ankles and shins, to top off with black shinobi sandals. With my white and silver shaggy hair, and piercing gray eyes I looked like the spitting image of a young Tobirama walking the streets. Civilians were awestruck with my appearance. 'Status'
[Kaito Senju]

For the most part Tsunade had provided a strict schedule during these past two years, to make me a more complete shinobi. Why? Because I had asked for it, and she was more than willing to help. I originally kept sticking to the same schedule that she left with me during the first day I trained with her. But after a couple weeks in, she noticed, as well as Shizune noticed that it was all too easy for me. Plus, I was adding more reps in to gain a better foundation of each skill I had. Thus, she would start putting more on the table to feed me, and boy was this horse hungry. After I had originally tested my chakra affinity, Tsunade dropped off basic books in my room regarding; human anatomy, water and wind jutsu, genjutsu, fuinjutsu, chakra control theory, and my father's own taijutsu, kenjutsu, strategy books. With a note on top saying 'Good luck, you'll need it'. Just to test me again, to see if I would go crazy and fail with this abundant amount of knowledge. That didn't happen.
It made me think, what would happen to Naruto if he had the privilege to live under a Sannin, or maybe even Hiruzen? Would he have a better shinobi, without any stunted growth to deal with? It made it more clear to me that I would have to take him under my wing, and make him a force to deal with before Jiraiya got to him; maybe I could show him some fuinjutsu and it'll make him go apeshit? Because the way I'm progressing it should be unfair to anybody. Maybe I'll hit a cap sooner or later. I somehow feel like I'm Itachi. 'Skills'
[Skill: Physical Conditioning Lvl- Max]
[Skill: Running Lvl- Max]
[Skill: Parkour Lvl- 2]
[Skill: Meditation Lvl- 98]
I haven't opened my mindscape yet, maybe I'll get it soon if I max it out. Doesn't sage arts also derive from meditation? I need to max this out.
[Skill: Stealth Lvl- 25]
It was one of a couple things that I needed to work on.
[Skill: Shurikenjutsu
Shuriken Throwing - Lvl Max
Kunai Throwing - Lvl Max
Senbon Throwing - Lvl Max]
[Basic Taijutsu- Lvl Max]
[Intermediate Taijutsu - Lvl 5]
[Basic Kenjutsu- Lvl Max]
[Intermediate Kenjutsu - Lvl 3]
[Basic Chakra Control - Lvl Max]
[Intermediate Chakra Control - Lvl Max]
[Advanced Chakra Control - Lvl 2]
[Calligraphy - Lvl Max]
[Fuinjutsu - Lvl 1]
Took a while to get it all down, but this is progressing slower out of any of the skills I had done before. Probably because it is more advanced, and the fact that I finally mastered my calligraphy just before the academy started.
[First Aid - Lvl Max]
[Mystical Healing Palm Jutsu - Lvl Max]
[Clone Technique - Lvl Max]
[Substitution Technique - Lvl Max]
[Sensory Scan - Lvl 3]
Apparently, I was able to inherit some of Tobirama's sensing abilities; thank god I was able to figure it out. Having Tsunade as a teacher pushing you everyday to become better helps.
[Transformation Technique - Lvl Max]
[Physical Resistance - Lvl 20]
[Water Manipulation - Lvl 15]
I was no Tobirama yet, being able to draw water out of the air, Tsunade told me I had an 'innate talent' with being able to manipulate water progressively better each time I do it.
[Water Release: Water Pellet - Lvl Max]
[Water Release: Water Senbon - Lvl 5]
[Water Release: Water Clone - Lvl Max]
[Water Release: Water Whip - Lvl 5]
[Yin Release: Basic Mirage - Lvl Max]
[Yin Release: Minor Mirage - Lvl 13]
[Yin Release: Hell Viewing Technique Lvl 2]
[Yin Release: Genjutsu Dissipation - Lvl Max]
And there it was, after two years of training with a Sannin and Jonin, these are the skills that I was able to acquire, I was pissed that I wasn't able to work on my wind manipulation yet, but I am proud that I was able to master pretty much all of the basics within two years. I was without a doubt better than everyone in the class, stronger than most chunin: yes, but even I knew my limits, sparring with Tsunade and Shizune really humbled me when we sparred. I was still off a couple years, maybe when I reached around 10 I could compete with Shizune.
After all of that contemplation, I was the first into class. Ready to begin what would be for the rest of my life, my career, being a shinobi. It was then I created my nindo; Be patient of time, live life accordingly. Nothing good happens when you rush, so I patiently waited for everyone to arrive into the classroom. Deep in meditation it was only then that I realized that class was about to begin. It was loud and noisy but I was able to pick up who was sitting right next to me; sharing the table was no less than Shikamaru Nara. I could hear Ino and Sakura arguing about who the hottest male in the class was. You damn right I WAS IN THAT CONVERSATION. Choji was eating his chips. Kiba and Naruto were getting into it about who the strongest in the class was. Hinata was being quiet, but blushing when she heard Naruto talk. Shino was being, well how do I put it. Shino. And finally Sasuke was deep in thought in the back corner of the room, probably if I was worthy enough to be his opponent.
Now here's where the fun begins.

AN: Sorry for the wait! This is my longest piece yet, I had to fill in the details throughout the first 6-8 years Kaito was in Konoha before he reached the academy. If anyone is really going to be angry with how overpowered he is at 6, let me remind you that Kakashi and Itachi graduated before he even got into the Academy! Pair anyone up with a Sannin to train and the results have to be explosive, especially if there was 2 years of training with them. Kaito will begin to start capping off though, it won't be until later. I really hoped you enjoyed! Leave a review if you have any opinions for revisions!
