Sakichi Senju (Naruto OC)

The Confusion of Power

The morning started off normally in the Senju household, Mito making a breakfast for the family- Nawaki and Tsunade waking up early to eat breakfast to head out for the day; Tsunade stopping by to wake up Tobiramas two boys before walking Nawaki to the academy. Sakichi joined his family for breakfast, his younger brother shortly joining them.

After thanking Mito for the meal, Kaiyu stood up. "I'm going to head off and meet with my teammates before training-" he stated, handing his dirty dishes over to Mito as she washed the dishes. "Bye father, uncle hashi-" the younger boy gave a smile as he walked through the dinning area. "I'll see you later, Nii san-" Kaiyu grinned, reaching out his arm to nudge his brother. "See ya-" Sakichi sat back slightly as his brother gave him a nudge, waving his hand in a swift motion as Kaiyu slipped his shoes on.

"He seems eager this morning-" Tobirama sighed, sitting back in his chair. "Of course he is! They boy is young and full of energy. It's best he gets it out by training his heart out." Hashirama offered his brother a smile. Tobirama couldn't help but gain a small smile at the thought of his boys becoming fine shinobis. "Sakichi, how was your training with Madara yesterday?" Tobirama asked, glancing over towards his eldest son. "Eh?-" Sakichi blinked up from his food. "Oh, it was okay. We just worked on taijutsu-" he answered nonchalantly.

"I see..." Tobirama paused for a moment, "If Madara does something questionable during your training sessions or missions, you need to let me know-" Tobiramas said sternly, the whole mood in the room changing. "Tobirama," Hashirama called out, quickly matching Tobiramas sternness. "We didn't place Sakichi on Madaras team to be a watch guard for him." Hashiramas demeanor had changed now as well. "Yes, however Madara by himself is a huge threat to the village and as we both know brother, the Uchiha have a tendency to get too emoti-" Tobirama continued but went silent as Hashirama stood to his feet. "We can discuss this later, brother." Hashirama stated, looking down at his younger brother.

With a sigh, Tobirama sat back a bit; "Mhmm- I'll see you at the office." He answered in a monotone, picking up his cup to sip at his tea. Hashirama gave a nod before letting out a deep breath, slowly turning his attention over towards Sakichi. "Okay then, I suppose I should be heading towards the office." He said, a faint smile appearing on his face. "I'll see you later-" Hashirama began towards the boy, reaching out his hand to rest it ontop of Sakichis head. "Sakichi." As the name left his mouth, Hashirama gave a bright smile; rustling the boys hair.

Sakichi couldn't help but smile a bit, remembering Hashirama doing the same thing whenever he was proud of Sakichi when he was younger. The Senju boy glanced back towards the table, "yea- see you, uncle Hashi." Sakichi tried to respond as if it hadnt fazed him; he rested himself back against the chair as Hashirama left, his eyes landing on his hands as they rested in his lap.

"Tch- so naive.." Tobirama mumbled under his breath, setting down his cup with a drawn out sigh. Sakichi glanced up at his father, his father's eyes soon meeting his gaze. "Sakichi, doing the best thing isn't always the easiest but it doesn't mean it isn't necessary..." Tobiramas voice drifted off into the silence of the room. The older male stood up, resting his hands in his pockets. "I'm going to go ahead and head to the office. Sakichi, I would like to show you something later this afternoon. I'll find you when I'm ready.." and with that his father was on his way towards the door.

"Okay Father," Sakichi responded softly as his father walked out of the house. After a moment of looking out the window, Sakichi pushed himself to his feet. "I'll see you later, Mito sama." Sakichi peaked his head into the kitchen, setting his dirty dishes on the counter. "Yea, see ya- Sakichi kun," the bright red headed woman gave the boy a smile.

The Senju boy headed towards the door, stepping outside and feeling the warmth from the sun washing over his body. Sakichi stood there for a moment on the small front porch, his mercury eyes looking around at the village before him; He debated what he wanted to do this morning, but with a shrug the boy moved off the porch. "I'm sure I'll find something.." he mumbled to himself, reaching into his pocket for a stick of pocky before resting it in his mouth as he walked around the lively village.
