Chapter 2 - New Life..

Butsuma Senju, a seasoned leader and member of the esteemed Senju clan, sat in the dimly lit military camp, surrounded by maps and battle strategies. His eyes, a piercing brown, scanned the documents in front of him, his mind focused on the upcoming battles.

He was surrounded by about 6 senju elders who with him were discussing about the recent losses in the war with the uchiha clan.

As he pondered the best course of action, a messenger burst into the tent, bearing a small, rolled-up parchment. Butsuma's gaze shifted from the maps to the messenger, his expression unreadable.

The messenger bowed, handing over the parchment. "Congratulations, sir. News from the hometown... your son has been born."

For a fleeting moment, Butsuma's stoic demeanor wavered. A hint of warmth, a whisper of joy, flickered in his eyes. His lips, set in a firm line, relaxed ever so slightly, and an almost imperceptible smile danced on the edges of his mouth.

The smile was gone as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind only a subtle softening of his features. Butsuma's eyes returned to the maps, his mind refocusing on the task at hand.

"Thank you," he said, his voice low and even, betraying no hint of the emotions that had momentarily stirred within him. "I will return to the village soon."

The messenger bowed and departed, leaving Butsuma to his thoughts. Though his expression remained composed, the news of his son's birth had ignited a spark within him, a flame that would burn brightly in the days to come.

The surrounding elders immediately congratulated him and asked the clan leader who by not any means was any older than 30 whether he would be returning back to their hometown.

He denied saying " Clan members lives are being lost... In this moment I cannot celebrate... First let's bring a pause to this war then we all will return together ". His words echoing in the tent creating a commanding presence.

Everyone agreed with there leader's words. As they sat down again working up on various strategies to counter the enemy forces.

In the Senju clan's training ground two little fledglings could be seen playing with ninja tools. One tall of about 110 cm with black hair and another of about 90 cm with white hair

Suddenly they saw lady walk up to them and say with a voice which had a tone of excitement hidden " Young clan leader, your second mother has given birth to a boy . Congratulations, you have been asked to visit her tomorrow ".

Five-year-old Hashirama's eyes sparkled with excitement as he dropped the ninja tool he was playing with, his face lighting up with a bright smile. "Really?! A new brother?! Tobirama, did you hear that?!"

Tobirama, three years old and still unsteady on his feet, looked up at Hashirama with wide eyes, babbling excitedly in response.

Hashirama's grin faltered for a moment as he remembered his mother, who had passed away giving birth to Tobirama. But the news of a new brother brought a surge of joy and excitement, pushing aside the sadness.

He turned to the messenger, his eyes shining with anticipation. "Tomorrow?! I'll go see her tomorrow! Thank you for telling me!"

Tobirama, sensing his brother's excitement, giggled and stumbled towards Hashirama, who swept him up in a big hug. "We're going to have a new brother, Tobirama! We'll protect him and play with him and teach him all about being a ninja!"

As the messenger bowed and departed, Hashirama and Tobirama continued to celebrate, their laughter and excitement filling the air.

As soon as Ashina heard that his sister has given birth he immediately moved to her quarters where the doctor was standing inspecting the child and mother who were sleeping in the loving embrace of each other.

Yes Ashima was none other than the new Uzumaki clan leader. He had travelled to the senju territory after learning that his sister is about to give birth.

The doctor advised " Sir your sister is very tired , hope you won't wale her up". He replied with a silent hmmm.

Ashina Uzumaki's eyes shone with a mix of joy and trepidation as he gazed at his newborn nephew. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and responsibility, knowing that this little one would bear the prestigious Senju name.

As he looked at his sister, Aina, who had just given birth, Ashina's expression turned serious. He knew that as a Senju, his nephew would be expected to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors.

The weight of that legacy was daunting, and Ashina couldn't help but worry about the dangers that lay ahead.

But as he looked at his nephew, he steeled himself, resolving to teach the young one everything he knew. He would prepare him for the battles that would inevitably come, and ensure that he was equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to survive and thrive in a world filled with conflict.

"I'll teach you everything, little one," Ashina whispered, his voice filled with determination. "I'll teach you how to be strong, how to fight, and how to protect yourself and those you care about. You'll make our family proud, and you'll carry the Senju name with honor."

As he spoke, Ashina's nervousness began to fade, replaced by a sense of purpose and resolve. He knew that the road ahead would be challenging, but he was ready to face it head-on, for the sake of his nephew and the Senju name and the uzumaki legacy which he is actually carrying with his red hair.
