Konoha, Land of Fire, July, Year 04
It was yet another sunny, beautiful morning in Konoha and villagers were getting up from their beds to start a new day.
Ninjas, shopkeepers, and many other civilians were getting dressed. Some were getting ready to exercise, and others were opening their shops to welcome new customers.
There were even ninjas who were returning from long missions to finally enjoy the safe haven that the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, had built for them.
Even civilians were happy to settle in here as they wouldn't have to live in constant fear of suddenly getting killed during shinobi skirmishes, which were quite common during the warring state period.
It was truly a dark period for normal people who didn't know how to access chakra.
However, not everyone was happy.
For example, the brother of the first Hokage—Senju Tobirama.
Why you ask?
It's simple.
Because of the constantly deteriorating health of his elder brother Senju Hashirama.
Even since his brother came back from the great fight in the valley of the end with the crazy bastard Madara Uchiha, Hashirama's health has been in constant decline.
Of course, he was still strong enough to crush thousands of other shinobis.
But if he couldn't find a way to cure his brother, the God of Shinobi might not live more than two decades.
Tobirama was truly losing sleep worrying about his goofy brother. Not to mention other villages are eyeing Konoha like a piece of fat meat—just waiting for the news of Hashirama's demise.
As he was worrying about his brother and Konoha, Tobirama unconsciously came to the valley of the end.
He looked at the deep ravine and the cascading waterfall while sighing.
This place was the result of the epic battle between his brother and the crazy bastard, Madara Uchiha.
The battle was so intense that the whole village could hear the sounds of their clashes.
Even though Madara ultimately died, his brother was also left with grievous injuries.
As Tobirama's thoughts kept wandering, he suddenly saw something near the land at the foot of the waterfall.
"What's that?"
"It seems like a baby!"
"What's a baby doing here at the foot of the waterfall?"
Tobirama mumbled as he made his way to what looked like a small baby at land beside the foot of the waterfall.
"It really is a baby!"
"Who's the bastard who left the baby here?"
He cursed the awful parents in his mind as he got near the child.
And when he finally saw the child, he was stunned.
Why?
Because he could feel chakra inside the child.
This child was probably not much older than a couple of months and was brimming with chakra. By all means, no child of this age should have chakra inside their body.
But this little child with snow-white hair and beautiful blue eyes with white rotating flower petals in them had enough chakra to pass as an average genin.
And most importantly…
"The vitality of this little kid is off the charts too."
"If someone told me he's an Uzumaki with white hair, I would believe it."
"But his chakra signature is vastly different from the Uzumaki or Senju clansmen."
Tobirama stared at the child in amazement and the child also stared back at him with curious eyes. The child's eyes were almost sparkling.
"So, someone left you here, huh?"
"How about I take you home with me?"
He cradled the child and was about to set off when he saw a metal plate. This plate had a symbol that looked like a clan symbol and behind it was engraved a word that felt like a clan surname.
The engraved word was: Otsutsuki
It was a name Tobirama had never heard of before.
"Probably a clan that has a very scarce population or they weren't active in the world for a long time."
"I need to go check the clan records to see if I can find something about the Otsutsuki clan."
"But you, my friend, probably don't have a home now. Might as well take you to my home."
With that, Tobirama wasted no more time and used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport directly to his home—The Senju Compound.
As soon as he got back, he was greeted by his sister-in-law, Uzumaki Mito.
She saw the white-haired child in Tobirama's arms and then looked at the silver-white hair of Tobirama before looking back at the child again.
Mito gave Tobirama a meaningful smile before asking, "Is this your illegitimate child, Tobirama?"
Tobirama gave her a blank look.
"Do you think I have so much free time, sister-in-law?"
"Oh! Then why did you bring this child here?"
"I found him by the foot of a waterfall during my outing this morning."
Hearing this, Mito gave Tobirama another blank look that screamed, 'You expect me to believe this nonsense?'
Seeing this look, Tobirama instantly had black lines on his forehead, sighed, and explained the whole ordeal.
Hearing this, Mito was surprised as she carefully checked the child again before saying,
"You are right. He indeed has a great amount of vitality and his chakra has been unlocked, too."
"But I have never heard anything about this Otsutsuki clan."
"So, what are you going to do with this child?"
Tobirama thought for a while and then declared, "I will adopt him."
'With such strong vitality and chakra potential, it would be a waste to not train him well.'
Tobirama inwardly lampooned.

Meanwhile, as Tobirama and Mito were talking, the little child was mentally screaming his mind out.
'Who am I?'
'Where am I?'
'Why am I here?'
He had been thinking this way from the moment he came to his senses.
Before he had time to collect his thoughts, he felt a sharp pain in his head and his mind went numb.
After a few minutes, memories of this newborn child flooded into his mind.
'Wait the f*ck up?'
'You're saying my mother died after giving me birth?'
'And she had three tomoe Sharingan in her eyes?'
'It doesn't make sense! Her hair was white though.'
'And who is the shady ass dude with ghostly-white eyes and two freaking white horns claiming to be my father.'
He had countless questions. He literally transmigrated into the Naruto world. A cruel world where if you were not a shinobi, your life is not even as valuable as dog food.
However, as more memories flooded into his mind, he finally understood what was going on.
'So, shady ass father of mine is Homura Otsutsuki?'
'Didn't he go to the moon after sealing Kaguya?'
'And what do you mean my mother left me a gift so you are giving leaving one too?'
He saw as Homura injected a special green charka into his or his predecessor's eyes before he felt an unbearable itch into his eyes.
He thought he heard Homura saying something about feeling sorry, sealing him, and the seal automatically unsealing him after meeting his fateful encounter.
And then everything went blank and he felt he was slowly sinking under the ground
When he woke up, he transmigrated into this body. This body's original owner probably died because of that green chakra.
Just when he was thinking about which timeline he awakened to, he suddenly saw a silver-haired man with red eyes, red face paint, and blue armor picking him up.
Just when he was thinking that this man looked familiar, this man suddenly teleported him into his house where he found a red-haired middle-aged woman.
After hearing them talk, he finally realized.
'So this is Senju Tobirama. And this red-haired woman is Uzumaki Mito.'
'Hmm…Does that mean Hashirama is still alive?'
'Has Konoha already been founded?'
'It should be. I heard the place Tobirama picked me up was from the foot of the valley of the end. After all, Konoha should only have that one waterfall. And it was created after the battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama.'
'So, this timeline should be the early stage of Konoha's founding.'
As he was lampooning this, a sudden sound rang in his mind.

And then, a blue panel appeared before his eyes.
