Hello guys, I am back with a new chapter. Sorry for the late update, it is hard to create a story within a story dattebayo!

Well this chapter is special- a little about Hashirama.

Chapter 11

In Naruto's apartment

Well, that went well, thought Naruto about the survival exam as he stared out of the window, looking at the stars and the moon as they watched over the village. He was thinking about how he even managed to pass the exams, he wondered whether he would have made it if not for Simon and his training. He sighed and decided to get into bed. But as he was going towards it the bag containing the scrolls for Simon caught his eye, the Hokage had mentioned they were for Simon but his tone had not suggested Naruto should not look into it.

I guess there is no harm in browsing through the topics mentioned, thought Naruto, the librarian never allowed me to study anyways. I guess there is no harm done even if I look through the contents.

His curiosity was rising by every tick of his wall clock. Finally it got the better of him, he took bag and the settled upon his bed. He carefully took out the contents of the bag and placed them on the bed. There were three separate packages. The first one had the kanji of jutsu on its label and the second one was named chakra. But it was the third one that caught his attention.

Mokuton. I better check this first. It might give me some clues on what these powers of mine are all about, thought Naruto as he started to unpack the third one. To his surprise, that package contained three other packages. Two were the same as before- chakra and jutsu, but the last one was labelled-

Memoirs of the First Hokage. A detailed history of the Wood element.

Seeing that this was the one he was looking for, he opened it up. It contained a stack of papers, so Naruto took the first one and began reading-

My name is Hashirama Senju. I really don't have the habit of writing a diary, so please forgive me I sometimes seem weird. Well, the main reason for me to write this diary (or whatever you call it!) is the recent discovery of my powers, a certain chakra ability which I call Mokuton. I am writing this solely for the sake of those who might possess similar abilities. That's it with the introductions; I will now tell you my story. To talk about me is to talk about my clan, the Senju. For those of you who don't know what the Senju or a clan is, I will give you a detailed description-

The Senju clan of the Forest is one of the many warrior clans that roam around the world. I don't know much about the other clans, but my clan is a composed of many of my relatives (don't get me wrong, there hundreds of them!). Well, we all live very happily, that is, only amongst ourselves. You see, all the clans are constantly fighting amongst themselves, there has been more clan-wars in the world than the births in our clan. In the world I live that is the way of life. But luckily for me and my family, we are one of the most powerful among hundreds of these clans, the Senju. The Uchiha and the Senju, the most powerful clans in the world. Our clans are the ultimate rivals, either you are against one of us or with one of us. My clansmen have immense physical strength and incredible chakra. Our chakra pools are almost five times of a normal shinobi and more than twice of the elite Uchiha. Our bodies have the physical resilience to withstand attacks that would kill any normal shinobi, that coupled with our almost limitless stamina made us one of the most powerful clans in the world.

Now that you get an idea of what a Senju is, I will tell you about how I discovered my ability. I am 13 years old now. The incident happened a week ago, we were at war with the Uchihas and I and my brothers were scouting a part of a forest for possible Uchiha bases. My father, Butsuma Senju is a very influential in the clan politics and as his sons we are allowed missions that are usually not given to children. Anyways, we the four brothers constituted a very good team. I, the eldest am skilled in kenjutsu and powerful elemental jutsus, my younger brothers Itama and Kawarama fought like one, covering each other's weaknesses and the last of all, Tobirama is the brain of our team, a sensor and a tactician whose likes of which has never been seen in our clan. Together we were unbeatable, our clan knew that and that's why we were chosen for that mission.

We were scouting a region near a river when Tobi sensed a huge spike in chakra coming from all sides. I, being the leader of the team ordered everyone to stand in a circle to cover our blind spots, if it were the Uchiha we had to be extra careful. Their eyes have special vision- they are able to see things that are invisible to the normal eye, also being able to predict movements and copy jutsus made them our equals and the most formidable enemies. It seemed that I was right, after about half a minute twelve Uchihas jumped out of the bushes. There was no doubt; no one else had those emo grins!

(Naruto fell down to the ground laughing, and exclaimed "That's it! Sasuke's grin is a genetic disorder! Ha ha ha….")

Well, we were in a tough situation; it was 12 adults vs. 4 children. The odds were bad no matter how we looked at it, but for me it did not matter much as I would fight them with my brothers than a whole army of Senju. That was because nobody messes with my brothers' but me! So we showed them what a Senju is, I and Tobi took half of them (all with 3 tomoe Sharingan) while Itama and Kawarama took the rest (of which 3 had Sharingan). We fought head and tooth that day, I was always against killing but that day we had no choice. I drew my swords while Tobi drew his, the Uchihas were skilled but we were better. The first one I fought that day thought that I would be caught in a wide range fire jutsu but I knew better than to block it, I just disappeared underground with my earth manipulation skills and got him from the back with an earth dragon. But as I said he was skilled, he broke up the earth dragon with a lighting pulse. He then tried to follow up with a fire-lightning combo attack with one of his friends. That didn't go well for his as him as the explosive tags I put on the earth dragon blew up on the back of his head and the jutsu backfired on his friend. In that confusion I had already made an earth clone and slipped out of their sights, by others I mean the Uchihas I couldn't hide from Tobi even if I wanted to, he was too good for that. Speaking of Tobi, while I killed the two he also had killed two by putting a kunai through one's head and putting his blade through another, whose result was he was without time and a weapon in hand when the other Uchiha sent a fire jutsu at him. As soon as I saw it I jumped out of my hiding place and ran towards him making the hand seals for a water jutsu. The situation was bad, my jutsu won't reach in time to stop the fire jutsu as the flames will be very hot by then. It was a moment of indecision that paved the way for my first Mokuton jutsu, I tried to do a earth jutsu to erect a mud wall that I somehow combined the elements when I made the Snake seal. A tree sprouted in front of Tobirama in a second and saved him. For a moment everyone stopped fighting, even the other Uchiha and all my other brothers who saw this. The Uchiha knew it was not a genjutsu so their leader shouted "Kirai! Escape from hear and the clan head what happened". That was before Itama cut off his head, but the said Kirai had already escaped. We then took the rest prisoner when they surrendered and we made our way back home. But on the way back Tobi asked me quietly "Hey brother, I don't know what Itama and Kawarama saw. But I know what I saw so tell me one thing, did you create a freaking tree?"

I replied, "Don't know Tobi", then I smiled, "But it seems that something made the Uchiha shit in their pants"

Tobi and my other brothers laughed and patted me on the back, and then we walked back our way home feeling that from today things will be taking a new turn.

Naruto was holding the paper in his hands for a full minute after he had finished reading, he had just one thought in his mind, these Senju guys are awesome!

He then looked at his clock- 2:00 AM.

Shit I have to meet Simon, TODAY!

-Chapter End-

See ya next time!
