Chapter 67: Prologue - Tetsuya

Prologue

Cool spring wind. Gloomy sky. Light drizzling rain. Deathly silence.

Nature seemed to feel the mood of the whole Konoha.

This year was very difficult for the village.

First, "World War I Shinobi".

Then the death of their leader, Shodai Hokage Hashirama Senju, aka the "God of Shinobi".

All this has already hit the villagers very hard, but fate, as if mocking, threw another test.

Just a month ago, Nidaime Hokage Tobirama Senju, Hashirama's brother, died.

As you probably already realized, few people can walk through the streets of Konoha smiling now.

Huge, senseless, losses in the war. Death of Leaders

It was in such an environment that our hero was born.

Deep inside, in the territories of the Senju clan, there was a bunker underground.

Inside it was a group of perfectly similar women, and one of them, being surrounded by powerful barriers, was giving birth.

Hmmmmm! Come on! she pushed.

Beads of sweat rolled down her wrinkled forehead.

Suddenly, inside the woman's mind, a terrible, bestial voice rumbled, beaming with contentment.

"Heh-heh-heh! The seal has weakened! I can break out at any second! I don't think you can hold me back!"

Her response was calm and collected, as if she was ready for anything.

"You can try, however, once you try, the seals will instantly kill both me and you."

These bastards got very close to their goal, killing almost all of my children I won't be able to protect you if someone finds out that you are my child with Hashirama. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to protect you... It didn't work out then, it won't work out now Fortunately, you don't look like your father at all, which is just amazing, because Hashi's genes have always suppressed mine. with stagnant pain, she said, pouring out her soul.

God, why am I telling all this to a baby? It looks like she's completely softened, or maybe she's just too tired Tired of everything Take him, you know which shelter to take him to..." she said, handing the baby to the clone.

Having accepted the child, her copy asked.

Are you sure? It wasn't in the plans to take him right away like that..." the clone answered doubtfully, cradling the child.

Yes, I'm sure. I underestimated myself. I feel that if I spend a little more time with him, I won't be able to part... Yes, what's there, you're me, you should already feel it yourself

Yes, I understand. closing his eyes, the clone bitterly replied, preparing to leave.

Stop! I want to give him a name. abruptly stopping the clone, she said a little nervously.

"That wasn't part of the plan either..." the copy replied, shaking her head.

I know, but I wanted to give him a name myself.

- OK. I'll attach a note with the name. exhaling, the clone replied.

Closing her eyes, Mito thought hard for thirty seconds

Finally, opening her eyes, she said softly and lovingly

Tetsuya... yes, Tetsuya.

Tetsuya means it suits his wise look well, right? The clone said, smiling out of the corner of his lips.

Yes... that's it, you can go. And don't you dare get caught... that's not why I hid my pregnancy. through the force, she said, closing her eyes.

You are me, of course it's stupid to doubt yourself. Don't worry.

Okay, go," she said uncertainly, clenching her fists.

Nodding, the clone disappeared into a swirl of leaves.

That evening, on the threshold of one of Konoha's shelters, a surprisingly beautiful, scarlet-haired baby with the name Tatsuya was found.
