Naruto: The beginning

Location :- Senju clan ground

Senju Butsuma stepped through the gates of the clan's land, his eyes scanning the familiar surroundings with a mix of relief and exhaustion.

The war with the Uchiha had been brutal, claiming many lives and leaving deep scars on those who remained. As he walked towards the main residence, he could feel the weight of his responsibilities bearing down on him.

Butsuma's stoic demeanor had been forged in the fires of battle, and he had grown accustomed to suppressing his emotions in order to lead his clan effectively.

However, as he approached the entrance to his home, he couldn't help but feel a spark of anticipation. He had received news of the birth of his son, Tatsuya, while he was away at war, and he was eager to finally meet the young one.

As he entered the residence, Butsuma was greeted by the warm smile of his wife, Aina. She looked tired but radiant, and Butsuma's heart swelled with love and gratitude for her. Aina gestured for him to follow her, and Butsuma trailed behind her, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of his son.

And then, he saw him. 7 months old Tatsuya ,was crawling across the floor, his tiny hands and feet moving with a determination that made Butsuma's heart swell with pride. The young one was completely absorbed in his play, oblivious to the arrival of his father.

Butsuma's stoic demeanor faltered for a moment as he gazed at his son. He felt a surge of joy and wonder, mixed with a deep sense of responsibility.

This tiny human was his to protect and provide for, and Butsuma was determined to do everything in his power to ensure Tatsuya's happiness and success.

Aina noticed the softening of Butsuma's expression and smiled. "He's been waiting for you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Butsuma nodded, his eyes never leaving his son. He took a step forward, and Tatsuya looked up, his eyes locking onto his father's. For a moment, the two simply stared at each other, a sense of connection and understanding passing between them.

And then, Tatsuya's face broke out into a wide smile, and he let out a happy gurgle. Butsuma's heart melted at the sound, and he felt his stoic demeanor falter once more. He knelt down beside his son, reaching out a hand to gently stroke Tatsuya's soft hair.

"Hello, little one," Butsuma said, his voice low and gentle. "I'm home."

Tatsuya babbled happily in response, reaching up to grab at Butsuma's sleeve. Butsuma chuckled, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over him. For the first time in months, he felt like he was exactly where he was meant to be.

________

Seeing his father Tatsuya showed a joyful expression. He thought,' This is my first time meeting him but why.... just why am I feeling such kinship from him..... It's very similar to mom. '

Then as if nature has taken its precedings Tatsuya called out ,"Mama "..... " Baba" surprising both the parents and his brothers present in the room.

Aina was delighted to hear the first words coming out of her child's mouth.

She said giggling in teasing vvoic, It's seem little Tatsuya was overjoyed by seeing his father.... That made him say his first words.." .

She took him in her hands and said to him

" You make me jealous little Tatsuya... Do you not love your mother anymore ",in a mournful expression..

Everybody started laughing enjoying the jubilant atmosphere brought by the antics of Aina and her child.

_________________________________

2 months passed and now Tatsuya was 9 months old .... Right now he was playing with some wooden ninja tools which had been gifted to him by his father.

And today was also the day he had made a decision... That he will start walking instead of crawling.. 😌😌

Actually he has been trying to walk from month six but hadn't been too successful.

He could stand on his legs but walking was a completely different scenario.

But today under the gazes of his mom and brothers he took his first step , instantly darting towards his brother hashirama but changed his directions midway and ultimately ended in his mother's embrace.

' I... I did it.. ' Tatsuya did not know why,that such a small action could bring him so much joy.

His mother also immediately lifted him in her arms and started launghing and celebrating along with his brothers.

When his father arrived at night . .. He wanted to surprise him.

Tatsuya pov:-

As I listened to the clicking noise , of door opening I instantly knew that my dad has arrived... Though my vocals haven't developed much, so I still had to call him

' baba'.

I first crawled to the intersection in the corridor ans the door and then as he was taking of his footwear... I stood up and walked up to him....

At first he didn't pay attention but when he looked down at me again... I could see a look of realization, surprise and joy on his face.. Though he immediately turned it into his his stoic demeanor.

I lifted my hands and said with a cheerful voice " Baba... Up, up". Maintaining his strict face he picked ke up, although one could see a look of gentleness in his gaze when he saw me.

After I had been fed by my mom I heard my father speak, " Hashirama, Tobirama you both have been training for quite some time... In three months I'll test you.. Prepare thoroughly... And if you manage to surprise me then you may ask me for any gift ".

The children immediately got excited, they replied simultaneously " Yes dad" . " Hmm " He replied in a strict tone..

Although I wanted to ask him to start my training as well but then remembering that I had just taken my first step today... I left that talk for future notice .

Tobirama has already began embracing the strict presence which he will bear in the future, he asked father, " Dad, is there going to be another war. "

" Not yet . Though there has been news that both the clans from Land of earth and The uchiha may agin rage wars against us in the next 4 years. ... But you do not need to worry about these matters for now . ...Just keep training. " suggesting these words my father stood up from his seat and went towards his study.

I understood now how Itama and kawarama actually met their demise... Senju's after being attacked from both South and west had to divide their forces and during the past wars they had already suffered heavy casualties thus forcing Dad to send his 6-7 year old children to battlefield .

Although I still oppsose it. Just who in their right mind would send a 6-7 year old child to that bloody battlefield .... Well I'll see what can be done in the future.

As I was ready to move away from my seat ... My mother immediately took me in her arms... I squirmed ,to be out of her reach since I didn't want to do that embarrassing burp infront of her and my brothers but she kept holding me and she patted my back until I was forced to burp..... ' Ah... Damn this cursed childish body'.

[A/n :- Usually children do not walk until they are 10-18 months old and speak until 12-18 months... But you know since when did logic start working in Naruto world😋😋😋🤣😂]
