Sannoto Senju/Dreamscape



"Life isn't something that you deal with; it's not just some problem that you can solve. You have it backwards. Life is a reality that needs to be experienced. See, you'll eventually discover that ten percent of life is stuff that happens to you. But the rest of that ninety percent is how you respond to it."

- The Perverted Metal Seeker of Peace

The Perverted Metal Seeker of Peace (平和の探求者エロ金, Heiwa no Tankyū-sha Ero-kon), is an epithet awarded to for his unique-metal based abilities, perverted disposition and peaceful nature. Born in the middle of the Second Shinobi World War to and, as well as being a combatant in both the  and , he has accumulated knowledge on modern warfare. His accumulated knowledge on modern warfare makes him an excellent shinobi, strategist, soldier and assassin whom's services are requested from other villages quite frequently.

Since the war, an evil faction known as Black Crown have arisen to revive the world's one and only god. With an innocent attack on the village of Otogakure resulting in devastation and death, Sannoto had sworn to track the members of this organization down and bring them to justice. Personally declaring war on Black Crown, seeing them as the ultimate evil, the Senju had acquired the name Kami no Satsusha (神の殺者, God Slayer). With this, he had intergrated himself into Iwagakure as a blacksmith by trade; hiding among the citizens as he investigates the evil religion that is intent on resurrecting a demon that once destroyed the world.

Appearance
"Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance."

- Sannoto flirting with a woman

Unique in power, identity, personality; the possibilities of his uniqueness cease to truly end. Even in appearance, he is truly special, powerful, for his phenotype is surely impressive. He is often described as handsome, though he often admits that he is barely categorized as so and that he is far from stunning. As such, his looks are rarely utilized during most situations and simply rely on his own intuition and abilities.

Over the course of his lifetime, Sannoto’s physical features have matured greatly from the time when he was a simple child, to a teenager, adult and then an elderly man. With each metamorphosis arises a new look, but what has always remained central to his identity is the warm, compassionate smile that seems to never falter even in the eyes of adversity. His smile spreads pleasure to any soul fortunate enough to lay their eyes upon it. Only when the lives of innocent people have been taken does the Senju’s smile fade, however replacing his smile is a rather serious glare that radiates power. When his smile disappear all is to be feared.

In his youth, Sannoto’s physical features were almost completely opposite from how he is described now. As a small boy, the Senju was only 100cm (3 feet and 2 inches) up until he was thirteen years old. Among that, he only weighed in 24 kilograms (54lbs) standing as the smallest in his class. For a while, he was often underestimated by those around him despite his origins and obvious superior combat perception and abilities. With such a small frame and a gentle smile, he was often acknowledged as “cute” by many throughout Konoha and many others throughout the world who witnessed Sannoto.

Upon his thirteenth birthday, Sannoto hits a growth spurt gradually over the course of a few months that propels him several feet and several kilograms. Approximately six months following his thirteenth birthday, Sannoto had grown to 155cm (5”10) and weighed 69kg (154lbs). While fairy tall, he had not truly become the large monstrosity that he is recognized as several years later. He had adopted a rather unique medium frame where most of his weight was sheer muscle. Although quite slim to the naked eye, Sannoto’s muscular build was quite developed and described as quite “graceful yet powerful”. His body was perfectly in tune with his height allowing for him to move to the best of his ability without causing any harm to his being.

Yet again, Sannoto would experience his last but perhaps most dramatic growth spurt within the course of a few weeks of his eighteenth birthday. As his body brims with vitality, Sannoto reaches sizes that most people dub as supernatural and unreal; standing at 220cm (7"2) and 150kg (330lbs). From several years of extensive training coupled with his incredible life-force and natural heritage, Sannoto’s body developed a rather unique physiology consisting of a perfect balance of red muscle—the muscle that is responsible for explosive power—and white muscle (the muscle responsible for stamina and duration of exertion). As a result of such balance, his muscular physique densified severely resulting an appearance that displays the peak condition of the human body. His muscular build is quite monstrous, bulging out of most clothing and visible from most cloth. Firm, radiating, pleasing, his build is an attraction to some and horrendous to others. Regardless, concealing his powers normally is impossible, for his muscular build is the biggest giveaway to his massive strength.

Quite elderly in terms of his age, Sannoto has developed slight wrinkles, but even so he appears younger than his history and birthdate tell. However, the amount of facial hair he possesses is immense—a long beard that touches the tip of his heart and a thick mustache lightly parted in the middle—suggesting that it has taken years of growth to achieve. For this reason, he tends to appear slightly older than he would without such facial hair. Most believe Sannoto to be a man of his forties or his fifties when in reality he is twenty and thirty years older.

What has not changed over the many years of his maturity is the hair he inherited from his late mother, Tsunade. Just as it was for her—with the exception of her large bust—Sannoto’s most prominent feature is his silky, blonde hair. Every strand is perfectly aligned and incapable of being tangled as they emit a powerful glow to demonstrate its perfect health. A comb finds itself flowing through his hair without any resistance other than the wind itself that manages to slip through every strand. Each thread of hair is neatly kept, flowing as if Suijin quelled the calmest of the ocean currents. Sannoto's hair is truly outstanding, being his most prominent feature according to many. Its beauty rivals that of the most precious gems, possessing a perfect balance of quantity and quality in which a head should have. The length and the amount of hair is proportionate to the structure and the texture of the hair. This balance amplifies the beauty of it, as the equilibrium of the hair is what is truly vivid.

The length of his hair has changed drastically over the course of his lifetime. As a child, his hair was shoulder length, drooping no further than the tip of his shoulder blade with a bang which covers his forehead. A natural trait due to how his hair was kept as a child, the ends of each thread curls upwards towards the sky, seemingly defying the natural phenomenon of the world which holds all things down. As a teenager it had extended slightly to the tips of his shoulder, but as an elderly man his hair extends far down his back. In addition, he has several strands of hair that are very similar to a thick-antenna hanging in front of his face, a miniature version of a bang, but natural.

Just as he has undergone several bodily changes, Sannoto’s attire has changed over the course of his lifetime as well. His attire, during the time when Orochimaru attacked Konoha, Sannoto wore the standard Konoha attire: the blue shirt and pants underneath of the green flapjacket that bore the symbol of a destroyed nation. Completing this outfit was his black sandals and his treasured forehead protector, which he claims was his most treasured possession, for his loyalty towards Konoha is simply unprecedented. Normally, Sannoto continuously polish his forehead protector, finding it unholy for it to be dirtied in the slightest bit. When off duty, Sannoto also bore a unique outfit unique to him. He wore dark hood, a black cloak, arm bands and black leather boots all bearing the sign of the Senju alongside them, with pentagram sewn into his leather gloves.

When under the persona of a blacksmith and a businessman, Sannoto wore an outfit that recognized him as a “superior officer”. He was often seen wearing a white buttoned up shirt with a black tie, followed by black slacks that reach down to the middle of his elegant, black colored dress shoes. Accessorize wise, he completed this outfit with a black, peaked cap with a silver line that extends around the entire cap from front to back. However, the most unique thing about the hat was the emblem on the middle of the cap, a circle with a sword sticking through it. Following this, was a blazer with a badge on the right side of his chest. Lastly was a cape that extends directly to the middle of his back heel, similar to his slacks along with golden colored patches on the shoulders of the cape.

Casually, Sannoto wore a more casual attire that consisted of a red, buttoned up shirt with a black tie. Over that, he wore a thin, dark colored coat over it that appeared to be more of a vest than anything. On the bottom portion of his body, Sannoto wore black slacks, nice leather black shoes along with a long, tan trench coat. Completing this "nice boy" appearance, he also had small glasses. Following his final growth spurt, the complexity of Sannoto’s attire severely decreases due to the difficulty in finding a tailor capable of crafting gear for a man of his height and weight. As a young adult, Sannoto bore a crown made of jewels that he purchased in a small village, a golden necklace, boots, wristbands, and a jeweled belt. Completing this outfit are white pants with a red sash that he ties across his waist placing his upper body on display for the world to see. As an elderly man, Sannoto’s outfit is rather simple: a green robe that extends downwards to his feet, which bear brown sandals. The robe, underneath is completed by underwear, but nothing else.

Personality
"People who are too optimistic seem annoying. This is an unfortunate misinterpretation of what an optimist really is. An optimist is neither naive, nor blind to the facts, nor in denial of grim reality. An optimist believes in the optimal usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all that’s out there? An optimist is simply a proactive realist. An idealist focuses only on the best aspects of all things; an optimist strives to find an effective solution. A pessimist sees limited or no choices in dark times; an optimist makes choices. When bobbing for apples, an idealist endlessly reaches for the best apple, a pessimist settles for the first one within reach, while an optimist drains the barrel, fishes out all the apples and makes pie. Annoying? Yes. But, oh-so tasty!"

- Sannoto speaking to

During his lifetime, Sannoto was a man who defined the meaning of compassionate and warmness, spreading nothing but pleasure and happiness to everyone that he met. Friends and foes alike found him contagious, for once he smiled they would smile regardless of their moral alignment, good or evil. Everyone who he met found themselves infused with a sense of happiness and internal peace. Sannoto's "smile" not only portrayed his extreme sense of happiness, but also his calm and collective attitude. Finding him angered, beyond a calmed nature, was rare and impossible to bring out, with a few mere exceptions. Even when people treat him wrongly, cruelly, like an annoying peasant, he would never get angry. He only saw the best in people, no matter how dark or morally incorrect that person was. For this, he is categorized as a optimistic man.

Stemming from his optimistic nature, Sannoto believed that worldwide will peace will be achieved, though he himself stated that he was not the one chosen to fulfill that role. Continuously, he had been seen negotiating with a large group of people, civilians, shinobi, kage and even criminals alike when a problem emerges so that it could be quelled with words rather than with the sword. His peaceful nature was his most prominent internal characteristic, as he was often said to be a walking heaven on earth. As such, he was often labeled as intelligent but naive, for many have come to the realization that peace cannot exist with diversity. Only would it be natural for Sannoto to have despised killing, regardless of who it is as he felt killing was the ultimate crime. In fact, the man has barely killed any, only averaging around twenty kills in his entire shinobi career. While he fought very rarely, when he was placed into a situation where he must use his blade, he sought to end the fight quickly while simply incapacitating his opponent.

Branching from his tree of optimism, Sannoto saw everything in the world as equal regardless of status, economic value, power, etc. Contrary to what many believe, this did not simply include humans but includes any and everything: plants, animals, but more importantly. Instead of seeing them as weapons of mass destruction, the compassionate Senju saw them as living things, creatures who possessed a conscious, feelings, intelligence of their own. As such, he didn't approve of them being held captive within humans and believed that they ought to have the choice of being imprisoned. However, he did still honor the for their self sacrifice and their ability to survive the greatest weapon of all; hate.

His coexisting prominent attitude was his flirtatious and perverted disposition. According to his students, perverted essentially describes his entire being, as nearly every woman has called him a pervert at one time or another. While a pervert, Sannoto claimed that he was actually respecting women by praticing his own form of perversion, usually by openly walking into the women's bath house or complimenting them on their looks openly. Following this perverted nature; Sannoto was usually seen reading comics dealing with a woman’s anatomy along with the Icha Icha series created by Jiraiya. He was such a devoted fan of the series that he had read every single book and seen every movie produced.

While he was a compassionate man and held a desire for peace, he was quite guilty of being a training hawk, often looking for friendly sparring matches to utilize his new found abilities in the dangerous art of. This allowed him to push himself to unknown levels and for him to destroy barriers that stopped advancement. More of all, this strongly hints towards his level of curiosity, which was a trait that he always held. Even as a child, he was always more curious than most, evident by the fact that he'd put his own life at risk to learn a bit more about that or this. More importantly, Sannoto was fond of testing unprecedented situations, taking bold risk to see the outcome of a certain situation, such as fighting three people at once or jumping off of a cliff into a lake and waiting some time before emerging. These were looked upon as damn right suicidal, but this prepared him for virtually any situation. His curiosity was his greatest attribute for learning.

Affiliating his curiosity with sheer stupidity, which wouldn't be too much of a stretch, those affiliations are wrong as Sannoto is just extremely brave, unflappable subconsciously. Evident by the stunts he have pulled in the past, often being initiated by his curiosity, he can truly only go through with them due to his unflappable disposition. This is more prominent and important during missions, as Sannoto will never truly turn down a mission which benefits his goal of world wide piece regardless of the dangers associated with it, nor will he allow his allies, companions, or even complete strangers to be sacrificed or hurt. He'll jump into situations without hesitation to protect these people from harm, including animals as well. This also seems to be a fatal flaw for him indeed. For to save a friend, he will sacrifice everything, his own life especially.

Influenced by the spiritual energies of his Tai, his own hexagram, Sannoto also has a separate persona threaded into his own cloth of personality. Tai, as an entity attempting to achieve his mission for ten thousands of years without success, feels a great deal of guilt and a heavy mental burden for the current status of the shinobi world. A gentle, compassionate entity, Tai wishes that he could have achieved worldwide peace for centuries now and that it is absolutely his fault that the past wars have occurred and is even more upset about the war-filled period that should have been prevented. With a permanent and compatible fusion between him and Sannoto, this separate persona threaded itself carefully within his own personality, being hidden under his carefree and compassionate disposition, however when seeing the destructive nature of humans and the damage done to the world because of the current wars, this persona surfaces and Sannoto gets extremely depressed. This persona often causes Sannoto to take up missions or other responsibilities personally, feeling as if he has to do them alone and all on his own. For this, while mostly an idiot, he has proven himself to be exceptionally cautious and calculative, allowing him to make good, risky and efficient decisions.

However, while he understands that by shouldering things and taking the burdens, he realizes that he works best alone on many occasions, thus he sees himself as an unfit leader, someone unworthy of leading a group of people for they would only be hurt in the process of his stubbornness. While this guilty disposition is the main contributor to his need to do things alone, another persona that Tai threaded into Sannoto's own personality is extreme confidence. Holding centuries of knowledge, along with being completely compatible with Sannoto, Tai believes that Sannoto and he are the only ones capable of certain task which is why they must do it alone, for Sannoto's perfectly developed abilities and Tai's experience makes this fusion a wonderful one, for he can use his abilities to the best of his abilities while ensuring that the mistakes made previously are not repeated. In truth, this is more arrogance than anything, which exactly what happened to a certain man.

The last unique disposition threaded within Sannoto's own unique disposition is Tai's view on people who pose a threat to his mission of achieving world peace. Tai, originally without the fusion of Sannoto, found himself abrasive to anyone who threatened his world piece, often killing them if he found the need to, however his fusion and interaction with humans have caused him to adopt a new persona in which he becomes much more tolerant of them. His fusion with Sannoto and interaction with the blonde-haired Senju only increased this tolerance, but he still adopts a similar policy. While finding killing unnecessary on most occasions, Tai believes that many who have adopted a certain mindset must be terminated, a belief that has squirmed it's way into Sannoto's own ideals. As such, only those who are rendered incurable are killed openly by the Senju, though he feels great grief afterwards regardless of the need.

Indomitable Will
"In the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless"

- Sannoto speaking to the twins

The very essence of his being, both for Tai and Sannoto, is the dominating willpower for without their indomitable willpower everything else would be useless. Raido, the rival and companion of Sannoto, once claimed that he didn't think much about willpower until one of his battles with the man. This desire, unique willpower to succeed in everything is truly what defines Sannoto. His desire to master his abilities to prevent himself from hurting anyone again is what allowed him to not allow him to be overwhelmed by the biggest sin he has ever committed, nor overpowered by any force of evil that dwelled within his heart.

His indomitable will is what supplies him with the ability to stay true to his heart, to stay true to his peaceful nature which allows him to see all the endless possibilities in the world, no matter how tunneled the world becomes. Despite the wars, the sin, the corrupted nature of the world influences many everyday and love seems to be a forsaken term, forgotten among this current generation who dwell and prosper after the Fourth Shinobi World War, every day the balance of peace seems to get further and further away from the world.

His indomitable willpower supplies him with something that is greatly appreciated in modern society, something more important than natural skill itself; perseverance. His greatest feat in which he truly persevered excluding his desire to master his abilities is during his battle with Raido, where he solely fought the man after being wounded heavily using sheer willpower to continue battling as if he was suppressing the pain himself. This feat is was made Raido think highly of the willpower of the Senju Clan. His willpower combined with his physical attributes often makes people compare him to a monster, for when his physical attributes finally succumb to weakness his willpower picks up the slack considerably.

Before The Academy
Birthed to the legendary Tsunade and Dan Katō, Sannoto was a treasured child, the rarest among gems. His parents battle prowess, although they were relatively young, were well known and considered sheer genius. Sannoto, being the child of two genius's, was expected to emerge as some sort of prodigy, some sort of savior that only appeared once every millennium. The villagers of loved his very being, for his existence was treasured. He was thought to inevitably rise as a protector of Konoha, similar to what his parents were. As a result, he was held up to a high standard, even as a baby. Given free clothes by the merchants, supplied with plenty of diapers, Sannoto was spoiled. One day however, his perfect life would take a toll for the worst. That day was the day his father had passed and his mother departed from the Hidden Leaf, leaving her child in the care of her mentor.

An only child, Sannoto held no connection to either of his parents or barely a single memory. As such, he soon forgot who they were, embracing Hiruzen and as his uncontested mother and father. A law, created by Hiruzen, was to prevent any villager from revealing the true nature of his birth for Sannoto's own mental protection. Easily, the villagers seemed to embrace this, for they believed that his savior-like status would be achieved quicker and easier since he was going to be trained by the himself. Parents began arranging play-dates with their children and Sannoto, hoping to make allies between the two and hoping that their child would receive the same type of training that the Senju child would receive.

The boy lived well, prospering for a while in his training and in his social life as well. Trained by Hiruzen and Biwako by the time he could walk, Sannoto is said to have a head start in life, thus parents always pushed their children towards him. Being the friendly, compassionate child from the start, the Senju always accepted them, resulting in connections being made. In reality, the child was being used by the villagers to push their children to being their best, moving up in power and socially in ranks. While their intentions were indeed beneficial for the kings and queens of Konoha, their methods are cruel in nature. Regardless, Sannoto stood above each of them, for the original can never be topped.

Prospering in a majority of his classed, intelligence wise and in regards to his abilities, especially bukijutsu, Sannoto stood among the top of his class alongside Kakashi Hatake, who had honestly shown more skill than the Senju. For such reason, the classes were split between making friends with him and Sannoto, but both were being used and both realized it. They both, one being a gentle, social person and the other dedicated to benefit Konoha, allowed themselves to be manipulated if it was for the greater good. Secretly, they both were friends, but publicly they rarely interacted. This perfect life, though imperfect mentally, was bound to be destroyed, to fail for it always happened when it came to members of Tsunade's family.

The Horrible Incident
One day, five days after his fifth birthday, Sannoto’s class was assigned a simple task of learning a basic fuinjusu seal which would grant one the capability to conjure weapons from a scroll. A basic technique indeed, as even those at the bottom of the class understood the technique well enough. For a prodigy like Sannoto, this should have been an easy task, but for some reason it wouldn’t be. In truth, it was because of his heritage, something that blessed but also cursed his essence. During his birth, the energies that he received from his parents had fully intertwined, but when a specific fuinjutsu was introduced to the boy as he was being birthed, it affected it completely, slightly affecting his chakra.

A unique form of chakra had formed; chakra that didn’t seem to behave like chakra. His father, being a phantom and his mother who restores and revitalizes the body resulted in his energies, his chakra, being that of a perfect yin-yang ; a pure lineage, as if he had eaten the forbidden fruits of the Shinju himself. As such, when the fuinjutsu seal was introduced to him as a child, for his dad and mother both sealed portions of their energy into him just in case they passed during the war, the seal molded the yin-yang chakra, creating chakra that behaved liked fuinjutsu once tainted by their corrupted energies.

Without prior knowledge of this, for they would only find out after Jiraiya reveals it to them himself, the teacher requested that his star pupil demonstrate the technique for the class. In similar shoes of the teacher, as in completely ignorant of this unique mutation, Sannoto happily stepped up to the plate. He was just simply obeying orders and attempting to benefit his class by demonstrating the technique. An act that was designed to benefit those around him, would harm almost everyone.

His seat, normally located in the back of the room, found itself without the soft, gentle warmness of his cheeks. He rushed to the front, with a large grin glued upon his jovial visage. Forming the necessary handseals, Sannoto generated chakra into the scroll, activating the seal which corresponded with his own unique chakra. The seal, as both were being used on one another, caused a massive wave of energy. Everything in front of Sannoto, not including the teacher, was smitten by the wave and everything was affected. They were all turned into metal, the desk, chairs and yes, even the other students. It was a disaster and Sannoto was to blame.

In truth, the reason for this unique form of chakra wasn't a result of this fūinjutsu or mutation at all. That's what was hypothesized. The true reason for this was his hexagram. The hexagram blessed him with this ability, but cursed him by not hinting the destructive nature of it. As such, he had harmed his classmates. Information of this would leak, Sannoto's reputation would be destroyed and he wouldn't be able to control anything. The teacher, frightened, leaped towards Sannoto with a kunai. The boy was forced to retaliate. Afraid, he channeled energy through the seal, turning his teacher into metal. He ran out of the room, screaming for help, acting as if he was never there. He couldn't allow his reputation to be destroyed, for it was his duty to help those in need. He cried for the very first time.

Learning Control
He ran deep into the woods, cursing his name from the tablet that governed existence in this realm. He couldn't believe what he had just done, nor could he understand. Why did he do it? He acted merely on instinct as if it was natural. Now he had to lie, appear as if he was captured and had very little clue what happened except knowing that he was taken by the man who had to do it. However, what would he say when they found him here? And then, his intuition activated once more. Against his own will seemingly, he threw a kunai into the air, then leaped directly into it. It penetrated the flesh of his leg, causing blood to flow out as if it was a stream of water. The pain excruciating, but it didn't hurt worse than what he felt deep in his heart.

Why couldn't he tell the truth? Why couldn't he? They'd understand that he didn't mean it. "Telling the truth is out of the question, for it would disrupt the peace of the village" he continued to here, this statement echoing throughout his mind for minutes on end. With each statement, the voice gradually got louder and louder. Eventually, the child began to believe this. He understood why he couldn't tell the truth. People would want him dead and he wouldn't be able to blame them. His dad would ensure his life would not be taken and they would rebel against Konoha. He wasn't a failure, but he was a savior, a protector of peace and everything good in the world. No matter what had to happen, he had to protect everyone.

Regardless of this, the child was still spiritually broken, damaged and destroyed. He was at his lowest point possible. The murderer of his friends and teachers, then lying about it all at the age of five was surely an event that would scar him for life. His friends would resurface in his dreams. Their parents would be devastated. What did he do? Maybe, just for a second, he could preserve the peace by ending his life himself. Yes, he'd do that! He wouldn't have to lie, but he could stay true to his ideal. Suddenly, a voice from within his mind echoed once more, as it had done a few seconds ago. "It's all natural, child. You were born to protect the world, ending it all here won't solve anything. Lie..You have a greater destiny than this", the voice said, repeating it over and over. Finally, after several minutes of listening, being brainwashed, Sannoto repeated the statement, believing the voice in his head. Lying was the only option, for it was for the better.

"There he is", a voice shouted, originating from outside his head. Finally, someone other than the voice within his head was coming. A man, wearing a mask which resembled that of a cat appeared before him. Hidden behind his mask, Sannoto could see no expression, rendering him incapable of reading his thoughts. Normally, the boy could read emotions right out of the eyes of someone else, but without that window, that ability was lost. He almost panicked, believing that his plan was deduced, before he finally passed out from the wound dealt to him earlier. "The wound is nearly healed", he heard before he was fully unconscious.

Waking up in a bed of small size, white sheets along with a needle placed within his arm, he deduced that he was in a hospital. He leaned upward, only to be pushed back down by his own mother, Biwako. "Lay back, child. You need to rest", she ordered, her tone not even the slightest bit of sympathetic. This was his mother alright. Someone who showed very little sympathy for anyone, even when they were injured. He recalled the time he had broken his arm, where she replied that he'd simply learn from this experience. It's what made him strong and it's what would continue to make him stronger, for he possessed the innate ability to truly learn from his experiences.

"You're safe, Sannoto, but your friends weren't able to be saved", she admitted, gathering the boy's attention. He hadn't told her about any of it, so that means that they had to enter his mind. "I have everything under control", the voice within his mind boomed, ending it after one simple statement. What? What in the world was that talking to him, brainwashing him, soothing his spirit? The voice was so serene, as if the speaker was that of no conflict. It was peaceful and it made him feel peaceful, stripping him of any internal strife of any kind.

He smiled softly, looking up at the ceiling. "I know, mom. I know", he said, his tone more serene than the one within his own mind. "I don't understand how he infiltrated the village, but one day I'll make him pay. For what he did to me and to my friends", the young boy declared. His mother simply smirked and left the room, obviously proud of her child. He put on the perfect act, and he had fulfilled his role. While unknown to him, he passed the test of being the perfect host, the perfect partner. The voice would soon reveal itself, and teach him to control his unique, but astounding powers.

The Shifting Curse
At the age of thirteen, Sannoto was assigned to participate in the alongside other new graduates from the Ninja Academy. The war was gruesome; day after day, Sannoto charged onto the battlefield to take the lives of others and return to his disease filled trench to rest for more upcoming battles. His friends fought alongside him, some dying, getting wounded and many committing suicide. But through it all was his friend, Arata, Sannoto's greatest friend. Only he made the war bearable for the Senju child. However, despite their obvious importance in the war, the division was assigned a bigger assignment. Information had reached the Konoha forces that along a certain area where several chains of towns were situated, Konoha Shinobi were being captured by the townsmen and murdered and that Iwagakure Shinobi were stopping their to pick up supplies and receive medical aid.

The hundred manned division, employing Shinobi from the ages of ten on upward, marched towards these towns with the goal of eradicating them. Upon reaching the pass where these towns were situated, the Konoha Shinobi soon found themselves vastly outnumbered. Waiting for them were the townspeople, all whom wielded kunai and other Shinobi tools and with them were regularly dressed Iwagakure Shinobi, all of them appearing to be Jonin. Revealing these towns to have being Iwagakure military outpost and the townspeople to being Iwagakure Chunin, the rock attacked the vastly outnumbered Konoha forces with all of he heir might. Konoha had stumbled into a trap. The story about these towns was fabricated by rock Shinobi to lure the leaf Shinobi into an absolute massacre.

Refusing to give in, the leaf Shinobi charged towards these massive army with all of their might, but found themselves challenged fiercely. Almost most of huge Shinobi were separated, forcing the new graduates to fend for themselves, including Sannoto. The Senju child fought bravely with determination, using his in heritage physical gifts to his advantage when going against other Shinobi, who were not as physically gifted as the child despite his youthful nature. He stayed chunin after chunin, their blood drenching his clothes and face: ten, twenty, thirty dead bodies littered the ground beneath Sannoto. Suddenly, however, Sannoto turned to see his friend Arata before him, battling two Jonin level Shinobi. Rushing to assist, the Senju charged, but found himself quickly overwhelmed by the Jonin despite making the fight even in numbers. Falling to his knees, Sannoto could only watch as the Jonin charged towards him with his sword. He closed his eyes. Blood splattered everywhere and the rock ninja smiled in delight. Opening his eyes, Sannoto found the blade was had not penetrated himself but rather his friend, Arata, who had died immediately from impact.

In immediate response to Arata, his eyes widened, reaching the sides of his face. He gritted his teeth, clenching each individual tooth against the corresponding one above and below. Throwing his hands into the air, several kunai spontaneously generated, shooting towards the enemies in a rapid flurry. Some fell to the rapid generation of kunai, others deflected them with their own and charged towards the enraged Sannoto. A bright light flashed before his eyes and the Senju child found himself in some sort of subconscious plane surrounded by thousands of people who all bore different faces: Poor, rich, skinny, strong, etc. Stepping in front of this massive army of human beings was one single soul, a guy who looked the most human out of them all. Black, shiny hair, blue, peaceful eyes, and a relatively well defined muscular build that wasn’t over exaggerated.

Placing his finger on the forehead of Sannoto, the child felt a sudden surge of experiences course through his body. Every single person there, he saw and understood. Comprehension and learning in a matter of seconds. He felt his chakra grow stronger, he felt like he understood. Suddenly, the bright light flashed and encapsulated himself again. Before him were dead shinobi, pools of blood soaked into the soil. Even though they had won, Konoha suffered great losses. Some were afraid, thus abandoned them. However, the Senju child stood tall and prepared for battle regardless. Standing with a force of thirty Jonin and four chunin, one of the chunin being himself, Sannoto held hisBladeand commanded the remaining shinobi forces to charge into battle.

The War Hero
He rushed into the body of the enemy shinobi. Blades dug into the enemy's back, dealt by his own comrades. Screams drenched in agony rang through his ears, but he responded with another attack of his own: spontaneous generation of flying kunai that rained down upon the enemy shinobi. Putting down foe after foe, even after they gradually became more outnumbered by the minute despite the opposing force never bringing in any reinforcements. In the end, only he remained and fifty enemy shinobi who all bore expressions filled with rage. Responsible for slicing down twenty of their men and injuring at least five, Sannoto was the source of such rage. Despite being vastly outnumbered, he lifted his blade into the air as an act of continuation, but suddenly found himself unable to stand. The enemy charged towards him. He closed his eyes, accepting his destiny. He had lost. A few seconds had passed and the noise has stopped. He opened his eyes, only to see the shinobi disappear in a flash, along with his friend who was preforming emergency medical treatment on his body. He had survived.

From that point on, Sannoto partook in battle divisions throughout the course of the war, ranging from small battles to large scale battles, being present on the large scale battle where Minato Namikaze killed thousands of shinobi in a seconds. However, his most noted battle was the where Sannoto was directly involved in eliminating the enemy shinobi and saving the orphaned,  from being killed off along with the rest of the villagers that had sided with Iwagakure. His reputation preceded him, noted for his metal-related abilities and quickness. A war hero, Sannoto was recognized as such, but the war proved extremely detrimental. Exposed to mindless killing and such, he would soon desire peace, a world without it. A war that had not created a weapon, but rather a pacifist. The Third Shinobi World War would be the greatest motivator to his pursuit of peace.

The Attack of the Fox
A year following the conclusion of the third shinobi world war, the Nine-Tailed fox would later attack Konoha under the command of the masked man and the Fourth Hokage and many other shinobi would give their lives defending the village from the tailed beast’s assault. The villagers and remaining shinobi would be scarred by the incident and curse the demon for destroying their home and taking their beloved loved ones. During this attack, heroes would rise up to the challenge and protect their fellow comrades and village. Sannoto was one of these heroes and it was during this particular incident that he would become truly recognized as a full-fledged Jonin of Konohagakure.

Being on the first defenders of the village when Kurama was summoned into the middle of Konoha, Sannoto was able to combat against the Tailed Beast’s immense prowess with his own immense reserves of chakra. The first several tailed beast balls that the beast would emit were all consumed and blocked by the Senju’s metal barriers, protecting the village from complete and utter destruction before the fourth hokage arrived. Playing his role until Minato appeared, Sannoto retreated and helped any suffering villagers, moving people to hospitals and healing areas and reinforcing buildings and such.

Following the attack, he would later attend the funeral of Minato, Kushina, and his mother Biwako Hiruzen. When reading through some of his mother things, he would come across a letter. The contents were from Biwako, Sannoto’s mother, who informed him that they were not actually his parents, but had adopted him due to some complications with his own parents. In actuality, it was revealed to him that man known as Dan Kato and the legendary Tsunade were his parents. The result would leave Sannoto devastated, dumbfounded and confused. He would bring the letter to Hiruzen, who claimed he should have never seen that until his own death. Believing he had hurt the Senju, Hiruzen would apologize to Sannoto who simply understood the circumstances. Thanking the hokage for everything he had done, he called him father one last time and departed, moving from the Hokage mansion and into an apartment of his own. The transformation from a child to a man had been completed.

Meeting his Mother
Partaking on a mission in the Land of Tea, Sannoto was ordered to find a woman who owed the village a large sum of money. Leaving Konoha, the Senju would embark on his journey to find this woman, whom would later be revealed as his mother. For days on end, he searched the lands for this mysterious woman who seemed to escape his grasp every time he picked up a lead. Blonde hair, middle aged, and a unique diamond on her forehead. These were the descriptions he were given, but never could he find a woman that matched this. Deciding to give up on the mission, Sannoto walked throughout the market to grab food for his long journey back to Konoha, bumping into a woman.

Excusing himself, the woman glanced up into his eyes, staring at him and then embraced the man. Pushing her off slightly, he observed her: blonde hair, middle aged, and a unique diamond on her forehead. Next to her was a child and pig. Commanding her to give up and hand herself in, she struck the man in the head, causing him to fly across the earth. Before he could respond, she was above him, dropping her leg over his body. He barely dodged it, spinning off the ground and backwards. When her heel struck the ground, the earth responded with a massive uproar. Craters erupted in the earth, people screamed and scurried away from the scene.

A battle commenced between Sannoto and the woman, and in the end she had won. Picking himself up from the remains of a building, she towered over him. Asking whom she was, she replied with a quirk that told him to take a guess. He still didn’t understand, until taking a second glance. The same color hair, the same fair skin, the guy could only conclude that this woman was his mother. With a heart-filled reunion, the two hugged one another and walked off in the sunlight, leaving behind plenty of gold for the town to repair itself, profit from Tsunade’s debts and more.

For three years, Sannoto toured the world with his mother, getting to know why she gave him up to which she ultimately concluded that he reminded her too much of Dan, his deceased father. At the end of the three year time, the Senju made way back to Konoha, to which she understood. Returning back, he was welcomed by Hiruzen whom had known the woman he was tracking was indeed Tsunade, to which he revealed upon his return. Partaking on missions again, he would later be paired with Yami Uchiha, and the two would fall in love to which the Senju would impregnate her. Considered taboo by the rage-driven Uchiha, she hid it from both Sannoto and her fellow Uchiha members.

Uchiha Massacre
One of the most catastrophic evenings in the history of Konohagakure, the entire Uchiha clan was murdered by one of their own brethren, Itachi Uchiha under the order of ; he claimed that Itachi's little brother could be spared if he murdered his own clan. While this day would mark a great relief for the Hokage and his fellow advisers who sought solutions to hopefully stop the Uchiha's rebellion, it also marked a great loss for many of the fellow villagers who associated themselves with the cursed clan. Among these villagers who had lost someone was the Senju Clan's very own Sannoto. His fiance, Yami Uchiha, would be among the several members that would fall that night during the massacre, beheaded by her own brother whom assisted Itachi in the extermination of his clan.

When word reached Sannoto about the destruction of the cursed people, he sat alongside his fellow mentor Hiruzen Sarutobi. Going with him to investigate, he made use of Senjutsu to sense any nearby chakra signatures, however only one gave off a strong signature. Finding the body, it was his decapitated wife, but surely it wasn't her life force. Discerning she was indeed pregnant, he commanded her to be taken to the hospital where they extracted his baby daughter. For several hours, the Senju sat in the hospital room as they retrieved the baby from the dead corpse, using medical ninjutsu to keep it alive. The girl was born before a crowd of shinobi who stood with Sannoto, giving him all the support necessary. Naming her Sayuri Uchiha, a name symbiotic to her deceased mother, the Senju would go about raising the child on his own as a lone father for several years.

Raising Sayuri
Yami's death left Sannoto as the sole caretaker of his daughter directly in the middle of his prospering shinobi career. Regardless, his noble nature caused him to fulfill both respective duties and sometimes he even did so simultaneously. Despite the difficulty of the mission, he refused to let his daughter out of his sight and thus she was exposed to battle nearly everyday. As a result of such exposure along with daily training sessions with her father, Sayuri's growth was simply astonishing. Sannoto was praised as a result and the two were recognized as an unstoppable duo; their bond was undeniable. Not too soon after his mother, Tsunade, returned to the village to become the newest hokage was Sannoto informed of news about the Akatsuki. The Akatsuki were a rising organization and their might was quickly becoming known.

His mother would inform him of such information that she had acquired from Jiraiya and its confidentiality was limited to just himself, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Tsunade and her assistant Shizune. Because of the Akatsuki's ability to gather spies, the Senju was the only Konoha shinobi that she could truly trust. A reason for this being that he was of her own flesh and blood. For this reason, Sannoto took the mission with the desires to take down this organization. But, he would be forced to leave his daughter due to the confidentiality and the dangers. However, his mother promised to raise Sayuri during his ventures, thus he would leave.

Upon his departure in the brisk of the night, Sayuri would follow him to Konoha gates where she would inquire upon his hasty departure. Incapable of informing her of the situation, he struck his daughter to render her unconscious. To prevent anyone from spotting him leaving the village, Sannoto simply left the girl on a park bench covered by his Jōnin Flap-Jacket for warmth along with his headband as a symbol that his return was very unlikely. With tears streaming down his face, the Senju left the village behind and thus his family, friends, and reputation were all hurt in the process.

Philosopher Stone
The survivor of two devastating shinobi world wars, partaker in thirty plus S-Rank missions and even more A-Rank missions, and survivor of the Infinite Tsukuyomi cast by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Sannoto is a very powerful shinobi as his age alone informs one of that. Sixty four years old without any indication of him slowing down, what Sannoto has that many others may not have is experience. While his physical abilities and ninjutsu techniques are mind boggling, Sannoto's experience will always make the difference. Worthy of his Senju surename and the recognition associated with it, he lives up the legacy that his mother and great-grandfather possessed. His strength, while he does possess some on his own, is often credited to his unique physiology, that being his own philosopher's stone.

While often thought to be his own power, Sannoto has another being to thank for bestowing him with such capabilities: Tai who is Kaguya's embodiment of peace and greatness. Because his energies corresponded with that of Tai, he was naturally drawn to the Senju because of such chakra. For centuries, Tai moved from host to host while taking the previous person's chakra as it continue moving onward in its constant cycle of reincarnation. Sannoto has inherited chakra from both his parents, two people who possess very strong and opposing energies. While his father held very spiritual energy, almost entirely yin, his mother held very physical energy, almost entirely yang, supplying him with a perfect balance of Yin-Yang Chakra.

Tai was drawn to this unique form of chakra and thus went to possess the unborn child. However, Sannoto's spirit proved too powerful due to his unique lineage and Tai was pulled into his own soul. Rather than cling onto his spirit and body, the entity became one half of Sannoto. This fusion brought about a unique transformation that provided power equal to that of the Shinju brought upon its jinchuriki. The two together would become the start of the world's first human philosopher's stone.

The philosopher stone is recognized as the pinnacle creation of alchemist society. Throughout the years, many have failed to craft what they imagined as ultimately uncraftable. Eventually, mankind abandoned such goal and labeled it impossible. The philosopher stone, just as many things did, faded away into history as one of humanity's greatest failures. While they failed however, these alchemist discerned what was essential for a philosopher stone to be created: Human souls to comprise it power and panaceas medicine that establishes vitality. What they didn't recognize was that they needed an energy powerful enough to permanently fuse the two together.

With the absorption of chakra from host to host, Tai has direct access to the souls of these people; the previous transmigrants are bonded to this world since chakra is what connects to the afterlife and the world of the living together. Thus, their souls reside within Tai for all of eternity. Because of his incredible life force, the spirits of the previous host and Sannoto were permanently pulled together. Completing the stone, his Senju and Uzumaki energies serve as the basis of the stone's physical element as it fulfills the role of the panaceas medicine. Lastly, to initiate the change of the fifth element, natural energy was required in conjunction as the power source to power this transmutation. When these three things came together, the philosopher's stone was generated: the fusion between Sannoto's spirit and previous host of Tai, the supply of life energy, and the natural energy intertwined to provide the basis for the shift.

As manifestation of various energies, Sannoto’s physiology is vastly different than any others, giving him one similar to the Tailed Beast in that regard as half of his being is composed of natural energy. Because of this, Sannoto is gifted with extraordinary abilities that would normally be seen as purely superhuman. A philosopher’s stone, the epitome of perfection in alchemist definitions, Sannoto’s manifestation of energies supply him with the ability to transmute his own chakra or other materials into different things. However, because transmutation requires comprehension, it is limited to what he knows. While he possesses the ability to transmute into other things, his realm of knowledge remains mostly within metals. Endowed with the capability to manipulate metals and create them, Sannoto's metal abilities are unprecedented and virtually unsurpassed.

Yang Release
As mentioned, Sannoto is unique both in personality, appearance and abilities, however what truly differentiates him from the common man is his chakra. Being of perfect yin-yang, one half must be completely yang and one must be completely yin. Qian, the name of the yang half of his chakra, is entirely yang. Inheriting this from his mother who is that of Senju and Uzumaki decent, Sannoto’s physical energies are noticeably powerful on their own, for among those of these clans their physical energies govern everything ranging from physical attributes to one’s own appearance. This has not skipped Sannoto in the slightest, for he bears more resemblance to his mother than his own father.

The Senju and Uzumaki clan are descended from Asura, the second son the Sage of Six Paths who inherited the man’s Yang Chakra bestowing them with powerful life forces, strong physical energy and incredible stamina. Naturally, their powerful life forces granted exceptional recuperative powers, potent chakra, and the ability to survive lethal attacks. The physical energies provide the clan with physically adept bodies that surpass those of normal shinobi. Lastly, the immense stamina gifts the Senju with an impressive, almost supernatural amounts of chakra at their disposal.

Life-Force
The first inherent ability that his strong life force provides his excellent recuperative powers. For this very reason, Sannoto is recognized for his ability to fight almost immediately after another battle. The healing factor, due to his body being simply a manifestation of these energies, are amplified to levels that rival his great-grandfather and fellow Small cuts and bruises heal almost as quickly as they are being dealt, burns and stabs heal within minutes, broken bones within hours, etc. However, the more chakra Sannoto uses in a battle, the weaker this ability gets overall as it is dependent on chakra to truly function correctly. His regenerative abilities extend to his stamina as well, allowing him to recover fairly quickly from immense chakra usage. Sannoto can regenerate his stamina in almost three hours flat. During combat, he is known for being able to accumulate chakra over the course of a battle. While fighting alongside Kakashi Hatake in the fourth shinobi world war, the commander noted that the amount of chakra Sannoto’s body regenerated was equal to 3/4th of his own reserves per minute.

Because of his strong life force, Sannoto is endowed the ability to survive lethal situations that would normally kill a person as it gives him an unparalleled soul. This soul’s capability to endure is the reason why the Senju is hailed for his indomitable will. With such ability, the amount of time in which Sannoto can maintain his recuperative abilities is extended because of his body’s natural ability to operate at its best with the lowest amount of energy possible. Many note that even if injured, his endurance will often allow him to ignore the pain and damage sustained. Stemming from this powerful soul and endurance is the fact that Sannoto can function for long periods of time without tiring, as the least amount of energy is being used. It has been revealed that he simply possesses very potent chakra as a result. Revealed during the fourth shinobi world war, it seems his chakra is twice the strength of the average shinobi, thus Sannoto's chakra usage per technique and action is halved allowing him to conserve more energy naturally. As a result of his massive life force, the Senju has the potential to live for a very long time despite his advancing age. Even at the age of one hundred and twenty, Sannoto has very few wrinkles and is still physically in his prime as he is able to overpower most shinobi that are in their twenties with very little difficulty. It is mentioned that he has the potential to live to 250 due to being half natural energy.

Physical Energy
The second gift granted by the yang release are extraordinary physical energies that provide Sannoto with an incredible physical condition even without proper training. Naturally, the Senju shows almost supernatural feats compared to other shinobi even against those whom have managed to push their physical capabilities above and beyond. In his youth, Sannoto's physical prowess was recognized, as he was physically stronger, and faster than his fellow shinobi peers. Naturally, he could disappear from place to place and reappear simultaneously without much effort required. His explosive speed, combined with his killer strength was a deadly combination that could be exploited in battle. Because of his special physical capabilities, Hiruzen subjected Sannoto to special training that revolved around heavily cultivating his physical prowess to the highest possible level of a human capabilities. From a young age, he was subject to a unique diet, and strict training regime; he was subject to running, shadow-boxing, rope jumping, body weight resistance exercises, and weight training.

Enhanced Durability: Sannoto’s durability is world-renown and is often his most famous recognition as a shinobi apart from his metal release. Notably, he is has been classified as one of the hardest individuals to damage because of his natural resistance to injury and his steel-metallic armor that serves as an automatic defense in battle. However, what many people fail to recognize is that the Senju, without these metallic enhancements, is naturally durable without them. Because of the potent physical energy coursing throughout his body, Sannoto's muscular tissues are incredibly dense, allowing him to resist most damage than any ordinary shinobi. Even without his natural metallic armor, Sannoto can resist most blades digging deep into his flesh, for most kunai that do seek to penetrate him, are often stopped by the denseness of his muscular building, stopping the blades before they can reach his abnormally hard skeleton. The Senju’s level of durability is naturally powerful enough to allow him to withstand blows from his opponent, usually simple kicks and punches with very little damage on his essence. He can smash rocks, boulders with his bare hand without scathing his body, fall onto solid rock from ten feet in the air, or even continuously punched in the face by the likes of those with normal strength and continue functioning as if he was never smitten. Many note that even if injured, his endurance will often allow him to ignore the pain and damage sustained.

Enhanced Agility: Sannoto's agility, a combination of balance and bodily coordination, is simply superb due to the physical energies coursing throughout every cell in his body. Because of the strength of his connective tissues and tendons, they are able to withstand much more stress than a normal shinobi's, allowing Sannoto to move in a multitude of ways without worry of injuring them in the middle of a motion. With this natural enhancement, he can instantaneously shift motions entirely, effectively dodge attacks point blank, swing from most surfaces and other gymnastic feats consisting of back-flips, somersaults and cartwheels. By combining his agility with his combat, he is virtually untouchable in battle as he can dodge attacks by slithering away from then and bending and moving his bodies in ways that the enemy simply would never predict. Derived from his agility, he has a noticeable sense of balance that allows him to successfully balance on most objects regardless of how unstable they may be.

Superb Endurance: Because of the lack of damage that Sannoto normally takes due to his vast abilities and physical prowess, many fail to recognize the immense amount of endurance that the Senju possesses, even without formal training. When originally educated in the general art martial arts, the child's tutors noted that his endurance would allow him to progress well in this physical act of combat. Since this martial art requires an exchange of blows, with the ability to continue battling despite the damage dealt, his tutors hoped to advance this naturally powerful attribute. As such, he initially underwent daily assaults from his teachers, often putting him at a disadvantage to force him to battle efficiently even when massive amounts of damage had been taken. Inevitably, this attributes was improved and developed. During the Third Shinobi World War, along with the Fourth, Sannoto continued to battle the zetsu forces and other shinobi forces despite being injured excessively.

Monstrous Strength: In addition to his level of endurance, Sannoto inherited his mother’s monstrous strength and explosive quickness and speed. Insanely, Sannoto possesses the same amount of his mother’s strength, to the same potency making it equally as dangerous. Similar to her, a simply jab on the ground can erect fissure wide enough to swallow entire humans, break bones with a simple jab and launch the heaviest of objects across a room without working very much at all. Considering that he rarely ever strikes an opponent directly with his fist, the true dangers of his own strength is unknown to many humans and can only be collected and analyzed in terms of his weapon mastery. Without chakra flow, Sannoto can throw a kunai directly through a tree and into a boulder, cut through the hardest of objects using his blade and his incredible strength.

Impressive Speed and Unattainable Reflexes: With his large muscular build, Sannoto's muscles are not simply in his upper body and are generally across the entire span of his body, including the lower portion. As such, these powerful muscles allows him to propel himself with a very strong force. Regularly however, Sannoto often displays speeds that defies his enormous build. When moving from place to place, the speeds in which the Senju can move are unreal, appearing as if he simply is fading from place to place to the untrained eye. In battle, Sannoto makes use of his speed to constantly deliver strong and powerful slashes with large blades, overwhelming his opponent’s with continuous slashes and strong blows that seem to come so quickly that it appears as if he hasn’t moved his sword.

The potent physical energy that courses throughout Sannoto's body infusing itself with every cell is the reason that his nervous system is truly functioning beyond that of the normal human capability. For such reason, his reflexes are outstanding and nearly incomprehensible by the common man. His reflexes are honed to the point where he can dodge attacks almost at point blank range, react to attacks almost the instant that they are initiated; dodging launched arrows, preform amazing physical feats and catch offensive attacks mid-way. In fact, the speeds in which he can perceive information is greatly enhanced and nearly triple the time of the average human being. In five hundredth of a second (five miliseconds), he can react to a situation on average without his senses being hindered or altered. When his concentration is split, it slightly doubles, but the difference according to his enemies is almost unnoticeable.

Prodigious Stamina
Due to his senju lineage, he inherits an immeasurable supply of stamina that is considered supernatural to ordinary ninja. Even without tai's influence, the amount of chakra that he inherited from his mother is said to surpass even her immense reserves due to his intense training under Hiruzen and strict diet under Biwako that allows his body to function at its possible best. As a genin, Sannoto's chakra levels were considered immense and surpassed most of his tutors with a noticeable gap. In many instances, the instructors would mistake the senju child for an entire class until they saw only him standing before them. Perhaps the biggest, and most impressive testimony to his chakra reserves, is his ability to host the hexagram. Tai, a being composed of natural energy, requires someone with an immense amount of chakra in order to properly host them.

Those with extremely large supplies of energy normally can utilize techniques continuously without feeling the side effects of the techniques, for the amount of chakra present enables them to use it while possessing more chakra left over. Without the dangers of using these techniques present because of the amount of chakra they have, they typically do not concern themselves with the control that many require to us techniques, commonly those with average or slightly below average chakra levels. However, these people tend to be ones that better conserve energy and last longer in battles, for those who spend without conscious find themselves exhausted within a few hours of the fight. They are typically power types who go in, finish quickly and come out of the fight before they can exhaust all their chakra, while those who have control fight for longer periods of time.

More known for his control rather than the amount of energy, Sannoto is similar to his parents and the rest of his clan in that regard. Born with large reserves, he normally would be among those who find it unnecessary to focus on control for the techniques that he would utilize would not truly affect his current state for his enormous reserves would retain enough chakra to keep him functioning. However, in the art of transmutation that he is associated with, Sannoto cannot simply lack the control necessary, for the amount of chakra that goes into it matters, but what matters more is how much of something and what he wishes to transmute it into. Sannoto’s chakra is exceptionally dangerous, for even the smallest amount transmutes anything, with the exception of raw energy itself.

As a result of these dangers, Sannoto has focused on controlling his chakra to determine how much he transmutes and determining if he can move his chakra as it exists his body to determine what he wants to transmute, if he wishes to transmute something from a specific range. As a child, Sannoto practiced this ability, practice the need to control his chakra. Methods that focuses on  were beneficial to Sannoto, for it taught him to quantify the amount of chakra he could release and precisely where, finding it easier to do so through the tenketsu in his feet and hands more than anything since they naturally leaked out of his body through those sensitive chakra points. Though, he was never actually able to walk on the tree, for it turned the tree branch into metal rather than allowing him to use the chakra to climb it. In regards to the water, he would turn the water particles into metals as he walked, but never actually use the chakra to reach to the bottom of the water and balance himself. In addition, to train in these exercises, Sannoto always had to be naked, exposing the tenketsu for if he didn’t, the clothes would become metal rather than the actual bark and water.

Eventually, Sannoto didn’t seek to walk on water or climb the tree, but instead focused on developing a sort of practice that would directly aid him in controlling where and how much energy he released. Watching the Hyuga and their gentle fist style, Sannoto would imitate this, using their motions and movements to aid him in control. With their movements, he found it naturally easier to guide his chakra in the manner that he wishes. The movements could literally move the chakra physically along with mentally, using the physical motions to get the tenketsu in position and using his internal, mental control over the chakra to push it out of it. The chakra becomes an extension of himself, as if they were his limbs.

Yin Release
The user of a technique that allowed him to detach his life-spirit from his body and infuse it into other people, bonding it with their own body and taking control of their actions, Dan Katō possessed a very powerful affinity for the Yin Release to such an extent that he could manifest his spirit and mind regularly. Inheriting this strong Yin-Release affinity, Sannoto was gifted with the ability to manifest his spirit and mind and bond it with others. As a result, when Tai chose to reincarnate inside of the Senju, his powerful life force and manifested spirit pulled the nature spirit in too closely and wound up bonding with it. Because of the bond, he and Tai would become on in the same along with the other souls that were still attached to the nature spirit.

With the manifestation of this fusion between the nature spirit, Sannoto and the thirty-eight previous host that have existed over the millennium, comes three specific abilities that come with such fusion. The fusion has supplied him with Bijū-level chakra reserves, amplifying his already enormous chakra levels, the ability to access natural energy and thus enter his own sage mode, and lastly the experiences and wisdom of Tai and the previous souls that he have reincarnated into, gifting him with a vast amount of knowledge for him to use at his disposal.

Bijū Reserves
To properly host a hexagram, a being of pure natural energy, one requires a gargantuan amount of potent chakra that are at least three times the amount and twice the strength of the average shinobi. With each reincarnation, the hexagram takes the chakra and spirit and carries them to the next host. As a result, the amount of overall chakra each reincarnation possess increases. In one-thousand years, thirty-eight people have been the recipient of Tai including Sannoto. For this very reason, the Senju’s natural chakra reserves are almost as if sannoto gave him his own chakra levels thirty seven times. When combining the potency of each chakra and his own the strength of it increases immensely to almost three times that of the average shinobi. With this, the amount of chakra Sannoto uses per attack an action is a third of what it would actually use. His chakra is strong enough to cause severe burns to anyone that touches it unwillingly, stop projectiles in their place, and destroy immediate surroundings upon its release including trees, rocks, even causing the evaporation of water.

Because of this, the Senju's chakra reserves match, if not surpass many of the eight Bijuu, with the only major contender being the Nine Tailed Fox. However, even among the beast, Sannoto's reserves are estimated to being slightly larger than half of Kurama, who's reserves were still large enough to match and surpass the other Bijū with only half it's strength. By Kakashi's determination during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he concluded that Sannoto's entire chakra reserves were about one hundred and thirty times his own, thus making them 1.5 times that of Yang Kurama alone. With such incredible surges of potent chakra, Sannoto can use techniques in rapid succession without worry of ever running out. Just using his regular reserves of energy, he is able to fight for twenty four hours which is a feat that most shinobi find impressive. Combined with the chakra that the fusion supplies, he can fight for almost a week without collapsing of exhaustion.

Often times, when releasing his chakra through his tenketsu, Sannoto generates an immense pressure in the immediate area capable of limiting movement, crushing pebbles and creates gust of wind. Often times, sensors mistake the Senju for a Jinchūriki or even the who was said to have possessed reserves as large as tailed beast himself. His enormous amounts of potent chakra undoubtedly affects the power of his Metal. Because of his severely potent chakra, the amount of chakra needed for each construct is almost little to none, as even Bijuu level constructs rarely cause immense strain to Sannoto.

Natural Energy
Tai is not a creation of Kaguya but rather a materialization of her will. Infusing her will into nature, Kaguya spontaneously generated him with the intent to watch over mandkind and establish peace. Because of this, Tai is simply a living form of nature just as the Shinju once was. This natural energy, though latent, only flows through him, completely separated from the human body. However, when one wishes to utilize the power of Tai, only a perfected user of their abilities can do so, they can call upon his natural energy to empower their abilities. Though it results in a form of sage mode, they call directly on natural energy from a nature spirit itself, not relying on an external source for it and focuses on an internal source.

Because of this, those with Tai can bypass the need to passively absorb natural energy, instead having it supplied to them via their own individual nature spirit dwelling within them. Only masters of their abilities and those whom are conscious of Tai can consciously enter this empowered state, as for those who are not masters they find themselves incapable of accessing such power unless their life is endangered, then it activates instinctively. Those whom instinctively activate this ability, find themselves in this state where Tai completely takes over. However, those who consciously activate this ability gets pigments around their eyes, a light blue pigment, indicating that they and the hexagram are working in a perfect unison with one another.

With each individual methods of activating this Sage Mode, each encompasses their own individual weaknesses and risk. Normally, the hexagram does not forcefully possess their host continuously, for the natural energy is too much for the human body to handle and causes berserk behavior and random spontaneous shapeshifting, just as it does to a specific group of people. Eventually, if the person sustains this state for too long, the body will implode after their berserk behavior has caused devastation. As such, this is very dangerous for the user, as by instinct, they attack everyone, destroying everything including themselves. However, those who have mastered this state does not face this same risk. Because the hexagram is working in unison, mixing the natural energy with the master's chakra rather than fully possessing them, forcing the natural energy into their body, they do not risk the berserk behavior and imploding body.

Rather than the imploding body and berserk behavior, although they are able to stay in Sage Mode indefinitely because of the natural energy coming from within. Though it initially seems like a benefit, in which it is in most cases, the biggest disadvantage is tagged along with it. The longer the user is in this empowered state, the more it depletes ones chakra. While the source of natural energy is indeed indefinite, the chakra is not infinite, and thus can run out. The chakra itself, though immense, is not infinite and because most of the sage techniques require more chakra than ordinary techniques, though the chakra is empowered, the reserves it depleted at a quicker speed. Due to the immense size in addition, the chakra pool takes almost as twice as long to recharge as an ordinary person's. As a result, the longer the person is in Sage mode, the more exhausted they become, and the longer it takes for them to return to battle. As such, many tend to activate this mode for a brief moment to retrieve the amount of natural energy necessary for the desired feat then activates the technique after exiting the empowered state to preserve their energy, exhibiting a more masterful and willful control.

Because of his fusion with the hexagram rather than just a clinging of chakra, as the two have become one in the same, Sannoto is simply a manifestation of this energy and physiology consist of being a portion of natural energy. With this, his spirit naturally produces the natural energy, gifting him with a naturally enhanced condition beyond his very own. In truth, Sannoto’s senjutsu enhancement is typically passive, which grants him a large array of powers that make him borderline supernatural.

Chakra Augmentation: Because the natural energy interacts directly with his physical and spiritual energies—the general makeup of chakra—Sannoto finds several of his bodily features nearly doubled due to being half natural energy. This includes the mystical energies that every shinobi find themselves using: chakra. Several aspects of his chakra are augmented as a result of the interaction with natural energy. His chakra reserves are doubled, giving him chakra levels surpassing Kurama with both halves fused together along with naruto’s own chakra reserves added onto it. For most sensors, attempting to gauge his power is often a challenge that supplies migraines to anyone who extensively participates in the game. His chakra becomes nearly six times as potent as the average shinobi’s reserves resulting in the amount of chakra he uses per technique so miniscule that it’s almost as if he is using none at all.


 * Limitless Strength: Due to his massive augmentation of his chakra, Sannoto has the ability to use such chakra to increase his physical strength just as his mother had done with her chakra. Because the amount of strength one can achieve depends upon the amount of chakra that goes into building this power, Sannoto can increase his power almost infinitely due to his near infinite supply of powerful chakra. With such power, he can easily match the power and force of anyone that he encounters. During his training sessions, Sannoto's power allowed to him to catch one of his own falling meteorites preventing it from hitting the ground.


 * Idaten: Similarly to his limitless strength, Sannoto simply uses his chakra to increase the speeds in which he can travel. Since his speed is directly proportional to the amount of chakra he uses, the potential for the Senju's speed is truly outstanding. Simply by increasing the amount of chakra he uses, Sannoto can easily surpass or match the speed of anyone that he encounters. For this reason alone, he is recognized as one of the fastest shinobi in the hidden leaf.


 * Chakra Enhanced Hearing: By concentrating his potent chakra to his ears, Sannoto is able to hear with amazing clarity, distance and in a very large range of frequencies that he is unable to normally. Though he uses it to spy on others or track people several hundred feet away, the amount of chakra concentrated in his ears is so strong that it allows for an uncanny ability that makes his hearing seem almost superhuman. He can hear the muscles within another's person's body contract, their heart rate increase and decrease, when their chakra is being molded, and even when their food is being digested. Using this ability, he can predict where or how his opponent will attack depending on when and how their muscles contract, as different ones will contract and make different sounds depending on the action. For this very reason, feigns and other attacks fail to work on him as he can easily predict when and how they are coming. Because of how effective this is, most people mistake as some form of a mind reader.


 * Baku (獏): Although classified as a technique, most of the effects done by this technique stems directly from his chakra. Because of how potent his energies are, most people are often incapable of truly processing them when they encounter such power. As a result, they often fall unconscious from being infused in his magical energies similar to a Jinchūriki overcome with the emotions of their Tailed Beast Chakra. Sannoto's peaceful will is infused into his chakra, commanding them to sleep, and the potency of his chakra only makes such a command irresistible.


 * Plummeting Heavens (九天直下大空, Kyuutenchokka Oozora): By releasing a massive amount of his potent chakra, Sannoto is able to produce a field of crushing energy that weighs down anyone caught in this field significantly. Depending on the amount of pressure one can handle along with the amount of chakra Sannoto releases, he can leave people under a form of paralyses due to the pressure. Normally due to his peaceful disposition, Sannoto only releases a specific percentage of his energy to prevent the generated pressure from killing anyone affected. Mistakenly, enemies believe that Sannoto himself is susceptible to such a technique, but because this is not a technique that revolves around increasing the gravity but rather just a release of his energy the Senju can manipulate such chakra to prevent it from affecting him.
 * Celestial Fortress (天の砦, Teno Toride): By kneading a massive amount of his potent chakra in his stomach then releasing it through the tenketsu in his mouth, Sannoto can generate a roar that acts as a shockwave capable of decimating entire buildings. Similar to most of his chakra-based techniques, the damage caused by this technique is entirely dependent on the amount of chakra that the Senju uses. The jutsu can do as little as push someone back a few inches and stop elemental techniques that are launched towards him to breaking the bones of shinobi caught in the shockwave and destroying entire towns in the blink of an eye.


 * Sensing Technique (感知の術, Kanchi no Jutsu): An ability granted by the natural energy like it does to those who have the ability to absorb such energy is the potential to sense chakra while also being able to sense enemy attacks without needing to directly see them. Due to his constant access to natural energy, thus he is constant use of senjutsu chakra, Sannoto's sensory perception is always incredible. He has the ability to sense chakra from quite a distance away and can even gauge how powerful someone is upon sensing their chakra; he bases their power level on the size of their chakra reserves and the strength of their chakra. Because of his connection to the natural energy of the world, any movement that occurs in nature is visible to Sannoto even without laying his eyes directly on the movement. Nature is his eyes and that alone is enough for the Senju. Because of this, it is often thought that he has eyes in the back of his head or a dojutsu of some sort. With such an ability, his ability to "see" surpasses that of even the Byakugan's 360 degree vision because it lacks no blind spot, however the range on how far he is able to see is nowhere near comparable.


 * Chakra Transfer Technique: Due to extremely similar physiology to the tailed beast, Sannoto also has the ability to transfer chakra with relative ease allowing him to restore someone's reserves or empower their abilities due to his extremely potent chakra. Because his chakra is commonly responsible for his healing factor, due to being a form of life energy, when the person is injected with such chakra they are temporarily supplied with the ability to recover from damage same as Sannoto. Wounds heal within moments of infliction, however limbs and such remain incapable of regeneration if removed.


 * : Normally, most shinobi have the ability to shape their chakra and then transform it, using the combination of shape transformation and nature transformation. The Rasengan is the ultimate form of shape transformation without the nature transformation, but due to the severe complexity of it, the technique is able to do damage even if the chakra isn't taking the form of an element. Because his massive amount of chakra is extremely concentrated, being around six times the strength of a normal shinobi in conjunction with his own energy, he is able to utilize just shape transformation without needing to make it extremely complex. As a result of his superb chakra control, the Senju can shape his concentrated chakra into almost anything: walls, shrouds, weapons, etc. Because this requires much less chakra, he often uses this when he wishes to conserve chakra or when his metal release fails. However, because this requires much less chakra, his metal is severely stronger than his chakra.
 * Rasengan: Although recognized as an A-rank technique, this is a fairly easy jutsu for Sannoto to execute due to his supreme control over his own chakra. The amount of time it takes for him to generate a rasengan is near instantaneous and his control over such a technique allows him to do so just with a single hand. Unlike however, he has yet to mix it with any nature transformation due to that proving much to difficult with the amount of training he has over the regular jutsu. Though a rarely simple technique, Sannoto often uses the rasengan as a way to wound his opponents if they happen to prove too stubborn or if he's going head-head against another ninjutsu attack. The size of his rasengans can range from the size of his palm to the size of a tailed beast; rumors speak of his rasengan withstanding the assault of a tailed beast ball. Due to his extremely potent chakra, Sannoto's rasengans often do much more damage than most. A rasengan the size of his palm is capable of decimating mountains.

Natural Energy Shroud: A result of mastering control over his senjutsu chakra, Sannoto is able to manipulate the raw natural of the world to his command allowing him to create a shroud of natural energy that he can use for various purposes such as extending the range of his attacks while deflecting other attacks that may try to harm him. The shroud naturally deflects any attacks that come his way since it serves as a shroud: Kunai, shuriken and even ninjutsu are mostly unable to reach the Senju when this shroud is activated.

The natural energy, shrouded over his body that courses alongside his physical energy, the force it exerts is immense. Rather than provide more nutrients to his muscles, the natural energy adds more power, the energy itself being very dense, like that of metal. His attacks are amplified, with him being capable of creating fissures in the earth, crippling normal shinobi with single punches, lifting large summoning creatures. His raw strength, increased to such an extent, where he could push a mini-tailed beast ball emitted by a enraged Jinchūriki and easily break the bones of susanoo, decimating them with a single punch.

However, the most impressive feat that is amplified is Sannoto's speed. Though he is not recognized for his raw speed, the Senju is quite fast, being able to fade from place to place even without the natural energy enhancement. However, as the natural energy forms a shroud around him, it allows him to move swiftly through the natural energy on the ground and in the atmosphere, allowing him to shoot through the environment without the natural phenomenons weighing him down, using the natural energy on his feet to literally skate, riding along the natural energy on the ground. With this, air resistance, and even gravity do not hinder his ability to move and his swiftness increases. Sannoto's speed increases to such an extent where he could appear in multiple places simultaneously. Using this speed, he can dodge Amaterasu, thought not point blank, his speed comparable to a shinobi using the body flicker technique continuously.

Infinite Wisdom
Alive since the day in which chakra was first stolen and given to man, Tai is an ancient spirit that have existed for a millennium. The things that Tai have seen through the lens of each reincarnation, what they have experienced alongside the spirit and what they all have learned is so overwhelming that one person cannot experience it all even if they were to live forever. Because of his fusion with these spirits and Tai however, Sannoto was gifted with this knowledge: experiences, intelligence, etc. without having to experience them himself. Having information from the days of Kaguya, Sannoto has been said to be a very wise individual.

Birthed from Kaguya's will following her reception of the knowledge giving chakra, it seems as if the spirit has a good grasp on the world intuitively. Because of his origins, the amount of perspective of the nature of the world matched matches that of his creator Kaguya, who arguably held an above average understanding of chakra due to her excellent usage of her own abilities. In fact, her method of creating dimensions heavily support that Kaguya herself is the mistress of nature transformations. As a result, Tai himself was born with the knowledge of nature transformations and such. With this, he grants the Senju the ability to transmute anything into any of the elements. With this, he is able to transmute anything into metals due to his innate knowledge of what their yin-yang makeup is. Often times, just by looking at a metal, the Senju can discern exactly which metal it is due to his innate comprehension.

Due to absorbing the experiences of thirty eight shinobi whom collectively lived over a thousand years, Sannoto's battle intuition is well beyond his years, literally. As a child, prior to awakening his latent abilities, he could discern basic shinobi arts quite easily almost as if he was remembering the things his tutors taught rather than learning them which the child actually was. For this very reason, Sannoto is able to learn a large amount of things rather easily because of the immense amount of experience he has. Even things he do not fully comprehend, he is able to connect it to stuff he does know, which is a large variety, and understand it by making connections.

With several of the thirty eight shinobi being ninja who lived during times of endless wars, especially those during the Era of the Warring States and even Sannoto himself, the Senju is very combat orientated despite his peaceful nature. With precision and speed, he is able to make observations and connect them in almost superhuman ways to the opponents abilities. This allows him to discern the mechanisms behind their techniques and provide a right counters, and even recreate this technique. Often times, when enemies create constructs such as chakra constructs, Sannoto can recreate them almost identically with a mere observation due to his intuitive aptitude.

Alchemy
Symbols—the most important thing known to man—is how magic can be truly produced. Those who rely on symbols have much more versatility than others who are unaware of how such incarnations truly work. Those who devote their lives to mastering the written art are often recognized as magicians, witches of some sort that must be condemned. An entire clan were destroyed because of their proficiency in the written incarnations. Thousands of symbols and scripted signs can do different things, between Ressurecting people from the dead, teleporting and stealing chakra from an individual, the limit is vast. However, because of how vast this written art is, many tend to memorize a few seals and stick with them, thus cannot truly progress.

This complicated formulas that generate different effects all originate from twelve specific written seals that correspond to the celestial movement of the universe which governs life. Humans, trees, living creatures, etc. bodies are all governed by how the universe moves. If the universe wants it to be cold, then the human body responds by accommodating to such coldness by adding more hair. If the universe wants it to be hot, the human body responds by losing hair or causing one to sweat more. With every movement that the universe makes, the human body moves as well to accommodate. Twelve specific signs were constructed to cause the same movement that the universe and the human body makes within a fixed environment or on a fixed object, allowing them to potentially manipulate it to their liking.

Eventually, with the creation of hand seals and ninjutsu, such art was lost due to the spontaneous nature of hand seals. However, what many do not realize is that these signs originated from these twelve symbols, thus these hand signs are imperfect forms of such. Handseals, just like the twelve written seals, are used to concentrate chakra and move it in a way that corresponds with the celestial movement of the universe which allows for the generation of something else.

Elemental Nature Affinities are a result of such movement, for when the chakra undergoes the movement that is similar to how the energy undergoes the movement in nature, then the chakra mimics the element that would normally be produced. Hand Seals had become an innovative way of doing this process quickly and without requiring how it specifically worked. However, such speed would come with a dire consequence as the human error would contribute. While the hand seals were to assist in the movement, one would need to learn how to effectively control their own chakra and use the hand signs as guides. Unlike hand seals, Fuinjutsu formulas shift the energy for one and thus the human error is not in effect allowing the energy to be moved almost perfectly. By using one’s chakra to construct the seal, the seal itself shifts the natural energy of the world and thus very little chakra expenditure is in play when using the magic that is known as fuinjutsu.

Alchemy, the art of magic incorporating the use of written spells and formulas which serve the purpose of transforming matter into other forms of energy, is nothing more than fuinjutsu. Fuinjutsu is the mystical art of manipulating and altering matter and energy by using seals to transform the energy by moving it in a specific manner that often correspond with the elements of the universe. Because he is made of natural energy, he is gifted with a similar condition as a certain by generating fixed symbols upon his body. Corresponding to his will, the symbols are generated by a combination of his will, imagination, and cognitive abilities.

Regardless of his natural understanding of fuinjutsu symbols, Sannoto was still was naturally drawn to the stars and constellations. He would rest under the stars and simply watch the stars, constellations, planets and moons that rested overhead. Eventually, he began taking notes in a ledger that documented their movement. Over the years, he ultimately determined that it was a connection of some sort between the positions of the constellations relative to the earth and the nature of the world. He would study the patterns, write them, and connect them with the celestial animals that earlier sages had documented and understand how they influenced his world.

In this universe, there are five forms of motion that is a result of the twelve moving celestial animals in harmony with one another. These five forms are Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Water which all identify each possible motion that the universe has. Motion is energy, thus these five forms of energy is every type of energy that exist in the natural realm. These five elements are general characteristic, and further divide into eight other forms of energy that make up reality itself; having correspondence in astronomy, astrology, geography, geomancy, and anatomy itself.

The eight forms of reality are all the possible combinations of yin and yang at their basic makeup, thus they are what make up the world but in different combinations of one another. By comprehending how these eight forms come together and what they can create, then one can use their symbols to change the form of anything into another, allowing for a spontaneous generation of substances. Rubber, Wood, Fire, brick, cement can all be created with a mixture of these eight forms that govern reality. However, they may also be increated and turned back into their original form of yin and yang energy with a reversal of the creation method. By understanding the relationship between the eight forms and how they interact with one another and themselves, one can create and increate anything that they wish.

By using his body as a medium, the symbols that his imagination can spontaneously generate due to his unique ability and his own advanced comprehension of these symbols, shifts his own body. This shift allows him to transform his body into anything and generate anything on his body. He has become a literal magician as he gains control over his own physiology. Among transformation however, this alchemeic process of manipulating your own body, lie several rules and regulations still needed to be followed.

The first law of alchemy is comprehension which means understanding the inherent properties of the substance you wish to generate. For Sannoto, due to a portion of himself birthed with the knowledge of nature transformations and such, he was supplied with any property he needs to understand for chakra can truly imitate anything regardless of what it may be. Regardless of this ability, he tends to use metals solely for their versatility and his unique obsession with the element. The second law is that of disruption, in which the natural energies of the specific object is influenced, moved, changed, breaking the bonds that tie it in with its physical form. As such, the amount of energy needed to disrupt this would normally be immeasurable for one would have to account for the immeasurable amount of mistakes humans themselves make with transforming their own energy, for they are not consistent. Transmuting matter, breaking the energy so that the physical energy is pulled away from the spiritual energy, breaking it’s “existence” apart. His unique ability to generate fuinjutsu seals grants him such an ability as the runes within the seals catalyze the reaction.

The last law is reconstruction where the energies are rearranged back together in a different pattern: changed, converted and moved. . The energies are meld together and the substance is created anew. However, while this process seems to defy the natural laws of society, it does not, for the amount of matter and energy that was part of the reaction must equal the same amount of energy and matter at the end of the reaction. These are the basic laws of alchemy, which are dangerous for inexperienced user, but beneficial for those who learn to control the power.

Metal Alchemy
Curse Seal of Metal: Because curse seals are simply fuinjutsu circles that have the ability to transmute/replace energy, Sannoto uses them on himself to create an artificial gate that allows for his senjutsu chakra to be transformed into an energy that resembles the metal element allowing him to generate metal.


 * Seemingly generating metals from nowhere, the Senju’s alchemy seems quite advanced, when in nature it is just the alteration of his own energies. In addition, he can also use other sources as fuel for his transmutation, including the air, his own skin, flesh and tissue, the earth and other sources. Capable of preparing the metal in any form upon its creation, the metal release is extremely versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways by the man. He can either use the created metals for battling or use the metals to forge weapons or other materials and sell it for a profit, as it cost absolutely nothing for him to truly make it. Sannoto has the potential to use two major forms of alchemy, static and dynamic alchemy. Statis Alchemy is an process in which one creates inanimate objects: kunai, swords, shields, etc. Dynamic Alchemy is an process in which he creates animate objects: clones, nanites, dragons, animals, etc. The metals that the Senju man possess the ability to generate that he commonly uses combat are five, all possessing their own special abilities and own respective uses. Some or solely for defense, while others are for offensive strategies and some simply to increase his capabilities. His most commonly used metal is that of Iron, being his most favored for it possess a large number of capabilities and is used equally for offense and defense. With a majority of his weapons being made from Iron, Sannoto uses his iron greatly, being more comfortable with creating and using this metal than all the rest. Sannoto can quickly convert this iron into various stages of matter without the necessary temperature requirements that often initiates the transformation, for he shifts the energies that make it up, molding it into a new state. The metal is normally utilized in the solid form, being used to create weapons and other constructs and such. Due to the hard, durable nature of iron it is used as a strong defense. Using it, Sannoto can erect walls of Iron along domes of Iron that protect him from damage. By increasing the amount of metallic chakra running through the transmutated Iron, the hardness of the metal can be increased, resembling steel more and more as the metal is strengthened. Offensively, the metals durable and denseness makes them excellent for doing damage, typically being used as weapons or made into projectiles typically used for throwing such as cannonballs. The dense nature of this metal makes is very useful for things that require strength. Thus, Iron is often used to make the wire that suits his unique rappelling style. The rappelling style is utilized in a unique manner, for Sannoto uses the nanites that circulate throughout his body due to a natural mechanism triggered by Tai, for the chakra that leaks out of his body is transformed into nanites to prevent any further damage. The nanites are transformed into rappelling wires, with a tip sharp enough to pierce the skin and penetrate anything. The wires are often propelled out of his body with a force strong enough to be lodged in anything and hold. The speeds in which he can travel when rappelling exceed normal speeds of traveling shinobi, going at least supersonic speeds.
 * Narcissus's Copper Reflection: From the history of his family, every single member in some way or form utilized clones to perform a specific function, either to deceive an opponent on overwhelm them with continuous blows. As a member of the Senju and Uzumaki lineage, Sannoto was one who would utilize clones as well, creating them from his unique metal style. He would model the creation of this clone technique after that of the Shadow Clone Technique, a technique created by his uncle some time ago. Similar to the Shadow Clone Technique, this transmutive ability creates actual copies of Sannoto, rather than the intangible copies that the Clone Technique does, for this technique was inspired by that of the Shadow Clone. When replicating oneself, an equal amount of chakra is distributed to each copy, for it literally splits Sannoto chakra evenly so that each clone receives an equal fraction of Sannoto’s overall power. Unlike the Shadow Clone Technique, the clones aren't poofed into existence, but are rather molded and created through the basis of his alchemy. Depending on the amount of clones created, Sannoto typically will use different methods to create them. If it is simply one or two replicates, Sannoto will transmute his own metallic body into the metal requires to create the clones. With this, they are molded immediately. Only those blessed with the continuous usage of any bunshinjutsu technique can utilize this method, one that has helped Sannoto control his abilities on many occasions, for it was a long and difficult journey to do so. As such, since the clones possess the capabilities to take in experience and once dispelled or absorbed back into the body, Sannoto also receives this experience.
 * Metal Release: Touch of Midas: Originally inherited as a curse which extended from his unique metal nature transformation, Sannoto was cursed and gifted with the ability to essentially transmute energy and matter into that of gold by infusing the desired target with his own chakra. Throughout his childhood, prior to learning how to truly control and harness his power, the Metal Release: Touch of Midas was a very dangerous technique. Continuously, unintentionally, Sannoto would turn entire people into gold with a simple touch of the finger, even down to food, clothing, shoes, etc. For this, the people of Konoha began pulling their children away from him and he wasn't allowed to enter the academy until this power was successfully controlled. Determined to be accepted once more, before this curse had been bestowed upon him, Sannoto trained constantly to subdue this power which was taking over his life, supplying it with hatred and turmoil in place of the happiness and spoiled-nature that he had adapted to. Inevitably, the Senju managed to master his own curse through his improvement of his own chakra control. During his training to better his own chakra control, he learned that his metallic chakra was constantly seeping out through the tenketsu in his hands, which resulted in others being infused in it with, causing them to rapidly turn into gold. Once mastering his chakra control, the chakra ceased to seep through the tenketsu, thus the Senju was capable of controlling when this technique was active or not. To implement this technique, Sannoto first releases his chakra in it's nature form. Following this, Sannoto releases this metallic chakra through his hand, coating it in this new phase of energy. When making contact with something, the metallic chakra infuses itself into its being, whether or not it is a rock, tree, person or even chakra and turns it into gold by essentially causing the yin-yang energy to resemble that of gold. Once the chakra infuses itself with the desired target, it instantly begins to change the state of the energy present inside of the target, by causing the energy to undergo the same process that the metallic chakra went under to be transformed. In fact, many have claimed that this technique works more as a Fūinjutsu seal than an actual technique.
 * Shredding Chakra Blast: A technique devised by Sannoto, making use of his much larger technique titled Metal Weapon Generation, is a basic technique of the Senju that is a major component of his fighting style. The Metal Weapon Generation technique allows Sannoto to spontaneously generate weapons created of metal. With his ability to generate weapons at whim, this eliminates the necessity to physically carry around his weapons and summon them from within a scroll. His prowess with this technique, for it is used often, has led to the instantaneous creation of weapons in different sizes and in different metals. The quick pace in which he can create the weapons, being made of his chakra also allows him to naturally guide these weapons more than others for they are simply an extension of his chakra. The technique supplies him with greater advantages than he would hold if he summoned the weapons, working well in undercover operations as he can enter the respective area harmless, but exist with weapons in his hands.
 * Shredding Chakra Cannon: Sannoto devised this technique by making use of his much larger technique titled Metal Weapon Generation. The Metal Weapon Generation technique allows Sannoto to spontaneously generate weapons created of metal. With his ability to generate weapons at whim, this eliminates the necessity to physically carry around his weapons and summon them from within a scroll. His prowess with this technique, for it is used often, has led to the instantaneous creation of weapons in different sizes and in different metals. The quick pace in which he can create the weapons, being made of his chakra also allows him to naturally guide these weapons more than others for they are simply an extension of his chakra. The technique supplies him with greater advantages than he would hold if he summoned the weapons, working well in undercover operations as he can enter the respective area harmless, but exist with weapons in his hands. Similar to the Shredding Chakra Blast, Sannoto creates a cannon that fires his chakra. However, the cannon is underground rather than above ground and is often hidden. To do so, the Senju allows his chakra to seep out of his feet and soak into the earth. Once far enough underground, the chakra begins transmuting the earth into the form of a very large canon. With Sannoto as the centerpoint, the range of the canon is five meters from Sannoto in all directions in a circular shape. Once the cannon is formed, and the enemy is in position, a large ferocious blast of chakra erupts from under the earth and engulfs anything in its range. Sannoto, with this technique, forms a canon around his arm with the palm of his hand centered in the middle. Once the instructed device is created, Sannoto charges a palm of extremely concentrated chakra in his hand, one without transmutative capabilities, instead holding more concussive and explosive properties because of the speeds that it released. Similar to a technique utilized by Nagato, the amount of concentrated chakra released is immense, and the speeds that it travels is indeed incredible. The amount of force that is has, is enough to destroy a large area. However, because the damage is not entirely meant for a single person, people rarely die from such a technique, however the amount of damage that they do sustain if caught is indeed incredible, enough to cripple them but not enough to destroy them.
 * Poisonous Gas Technique: A technique which utilizes the metal Mercury, it makes use of the metal's extremely poisonous properties. The effects that mercury has on the body, if exposed to in large quantities, damage to the brain, kidneys and lungs. The mercury toxicity has several signs and symptons that the mercury causes onto the human body. Mostly, those exposed to mercury experience blurry vision, impaired hearing capabilities, disturbed sensation such as burning and itching, lack of coordination and trouble speaking. Sensory impairments are just among the few things, but nevertheless, these symptoms occur within a minute of exposure to the mercury vapor that Sannoto will emit, doing so discretely. Such a disturbance in their sensory system, will often render any shinobi from continuing the battle as many rely on these senses to properly battle and further exposure results in a very painful death. In most cases, Sannoto simply releases enough mercury to poison the shinobi enough to cause the first stage of symptoms rather than actual death, hoping to either make them easier to subdue or wishing for them to leave the battle out of fear. However, in cases where he finds it absolutely necessary to kill the person, he will release more than enough mercury to kill ten shinobi, hoping to make their death as quick and concise as possible. Similar to the rest of his metals, Sannoto can manipulate this poisonous vapor, moving it to a different location or causes it to expand in the entire area. The gas, like nitrogen or oxygen, is invisible to the naked eye and odorless, making it very difficult to discern to people without "special senses".
 * Sage Art: Ghost City Resurrection: A technique created by Sannoto Senju, the Sage Art: Ghost City Resurrection is one of his strongest techniques to date, making use of an extremely large variety of metals to create along with consuming the most chakra by far. Prophecies spoke that a savior would come and erect a city, a dwelling, haven for people to be protected. Fulfilling his role as a savior, Sannoto has replicated this prophecy, using his metal related abilities and natural energy to generate enough power to generate an entire city of metals that rivals some villages in terms of size. Altering the battlefield to this extent, it allows Sannoto to create a perfect environment for him. With control over this city, Sannoto provides himself with the advantage of being able to shift the environment instantaneously to suit his needs in battle while also being able to hinder his opponent. A technique that is largely dependent on the metals Sannoto creates, the variety is simply overwhelming. In instances where he wishes to protect people, Sannoto creates an immense city made of metals that are used in common construction, iron, steel, etc. without adding the excess metals that pose a threat to one's health. In most instances, this is only used when home's have been destroyed and albeit on a much lower scale. However, for most occasions, when this technique has been called up, the Senju combines several different metals to hinder his opponents. Though majority of the infrastructure is made of iron and steel, inside of the city is a large overflow of mercury vapor in the air. Unlike his enemies, Sannoto is created entirely from mechanical nanites, thus his body is entirely mechanical. As such, he is not in any danger of the mercury vapor for he has no reason to breathe and thus is unaffected. For most shinobi, the extreme exposure to the amount of mercury vapor coursing through the air is enough to kill them within minutes of exposure. Accompanying this, the earth, converted into metal as well, is exceptionally dangerous in its own right. Unlike the buildings that are mostly Iron and steel, the earth is actually gold powder. This gold power, while initially harmless, when combined with Sannoto's control over it proves exceptionally dangerous for most opponents, as they find the earth beneath them harmful. Commanding the gold dust, Sannoto can allow the ground to swallow them entirely, move the dust to restrict their movements or crush them. The mere threat of the earth and the air working against oneself is overwhelming from most shinobi, rendering it Sannoto's most powerful technique to date due to the versatility it offers. However, such a technique is not without its initial drawbacks, as the Senju must absorb natural energy from his hexagram in order to preform it, his reserves prior to the amplification prove to small to generate the technique. As such, the technique takes up forty percent of his chakra reserves, even with the natural energy amplifying the potency of his chakra, thus using this technique in situations where the Senju is exhausted is impossible. The amount of energy required is handicapping almost, for even after the city is generated, he must use even more chakra to maintain the seal that transmutes the metal back into its normal element, while also using chakra to control his environment. Essentially, by time Sannoto has stopped his opponent, his reserves are nearly depleted, leaving him incapable of fighting for almost days after the use of this technique.
 * Willful Steel Scales: Since his awakening, Sannoto found that metal armor formed around him almost instantaneously whenever something threatened his physical state, without actual thought. Whenever in immediate danger, the metal would surround his body, his flesh and protect him from any outside threat. This armor seemingly moved on its own, for Sannoto never conjured it, especially considering the metal that would surround him was unknown to the man;its makeup a mystery. For this reason, it would be impossible for the Senju to even subconsciously act on it, because without the secrets to the metals makeup, he cannot produce it and the armor cannot be formed. Eventually, the reasoning behind this unique armor proved to be Tai, Sannoto's true companion and permanent partner. By causing a fluctuation in their energies, the energy would exit the Senju's body through the pores and transform the layer of air molecules placed right above the flesh into this mysterious metal. Inevitably the name of the metal was revealed, for one identified it after seeing it form, it's properties and the incredible durability of the metal. Steel was the metal, for it possessed a dark grey color and was more durable than the hardest iron.:::While the armor normally appeared in the form of an exoskeleton, Tai does usually have a secondary defense if this one should fail. While releasing energy through the pores, the metallic chakra would leak on the flesh itself as well in the air, thus the hexagram would use the chakra to literally transform the flesh into metal as well, containing an exoskeleton that protects his metallic skin from damage and then metallic skin that protects his body from damage. Once the immediate threat it disposed off, Tai causes the exoskeleton to fall off, along with the metallic skin. In doing so, once the flesh is disposed off Tai accelerates the healing factor and allows another layer of flesh to takes it place. Normally, this defense mechanism appears only in the area of the body that the enemy is targeting, thus much chakra is not used and the flesh needing replacement is small, thus the healing factor isn't accelerated too much. To a certain degree, Sannoto possesses the potential to mildly control this armor, but to an extremely limited degree. Sannoto cannot deactivate this ability, thus self wounds are normally impossible without the approval of Tai, for he is the only one with the authority to stop this armor from forming, considering that this phantom is the one responsible. However, he can use his metallic chakra to increase or decrease the strength of the steel, especially in certain places such as the joints, allowing him to move while staying protected. The instantaneous formation of this metal is what makes Sannoto formidable foe, as since he does not require the focus to do this, he can concentrate on offense, while staying protected indefinitely.
 * Unbreakable Bones of Steel: Internally, because of Tai's influence, when learning to control these powers Sannoto would accidentally start transmuting his own body, however to protect him from the internal damage, Tai would direct these energies to his own skeleton, turning the bones themselves into steel, one of the hardest metals to break. As a result, Sannoto's bones are virtually unbreakable along with being capable of manipulation, as they are metal, the Senju can control them and bend them to his will. Since the entire skeleton is turned into metal, Sannoto can generate entirely new bones, adding portions of his skeleton, or even regenerating his bones if they happen to break. Often times, he rarely faces actual damage, as no injury has every gotten past his epidermis, for his skeleton protects anything directly underneath. Often times, he can literally generate weapons from his internal body, creating blades throughout his body and use his own body as a literal sword. Sannoto's most impressive feat in regards to his own metallic skeleton is that he can generate three claws by making them extend from his skeleton within his hand. Each claw is a foot in length and there are three on each hand, giving the Senju tremendous reach in close combat. Because these claws are formed from the same fortified steel that his skeleton is created from, they have the capacity to slice through nearly anything, for they are powerful and sharp on their own, but accompanied by the senju's strength, they can even slice through the strongest of metals. His claws themselves, can also be infused with his metallic chakra, allowing him to turn anything into metal when making contact with it. Because of this technique, he can technically combat the elements themselves, using his chakra infused claws to slice through ninjutsu techniques by turning them into metal, such as enormous fireballs or hydro generated dragons.
 * Flight Technique: This technique grants Sannoto the ability to levitate and fly. However, unlike the technique used by the Iwagakure shinobi, this does not make the Senju lighter. Instead, he utilizes his ability to manipulate metal and thus manually controls his own steel-skeleton that allows him to imitate a form of flight. Because he's picking up his own body, his method of flight is unknown to even those wielding dōjutsu of some sort as it simply appears as if he's just injecting himself with chakra. His puppeteer manipulation of himself grants various advantages that allows the Senju to control his own bodies in way's that he can imagine. This method of flight does not rely on any strain physically, but rather is simply an extension of his extraordinary chakra control and metal release abilities. Because of his chakra control, Sannoto can control the speed at which he flies ranging from just mere hovering to near supersonic speeds. When traveling supersonic speeds however, he tends to coat himself in a steel armor to protect himself if he hypothetically crashed. In addition to his speed, sharp turns and other agile maneuvers can be made with the blink of an eye and just the right amount of chakra. Following the moon incident that led to the near extinction of all life on earth including his family, Sannoto's early attachments had all disappeared freeing him from the captivity of the world. With his enlightened demeanor, the Senju saw himself untethered from reality; Sannoto would keep himself suspended indefinitely. Eventually, his practice with the technique coupled with his philosophies would assist with this endeavor and within years his goal of permanent flight had been achieved. His expertise with this skill allows him to maintain his levitation with very little conscious effort and miniscule drains on his chakra reserves.

Taijutsu
Displayed from a young age, Sannoto excels and specializes in taijutsu, possessing such natural aptitude for the shinobi art; so talented that his skills in the academy surpassed those of his mentors, to the point where he could teach them how to improve their own abilities. During his training to perfect his abilities, he mastered and perfected the Wudang Chaun and combining its principles and techniques to develop his own unique fighting style known as the. This martial art makes use of Sannoto's unbelievable chakra control and uniquely potent senjutsu chakra. By using his senjutsu chakra, Sannoto can manipulate the external natural energy and it's flow to enhance the range and power of his attacks. With every attack from Sannoto comes natural energy to back it up making this form of taijutsu almost impossible to truly combat against.

The stance Sannoto normally assumes is ’’’ Sāntǐshì’’’ (三體勢) in which Sannoto holds his head, torso, and feet along the same vertical plane, with his left arm held out, his palm facing his opponent, and with his right arm spread across the bottom portion of his abdomen. This inevitably allows Sannoto to easily and quickly protect both his head and torso simultaneously, along with attacking with his feet, usually preforming low sweep kicks to cause his opponent to lose balance then defending himself with his hands; essentially a perfect offense and defense. While it isn't really known, this stance also allows for a state equilibrium, for when he does strike it allows more power to be generated from both of his legs, increasing his power and chances of defending from attacking, almost able to switch between these offense and defense instantly.

In the fist of the sage, there are five natural elements in which Sannoto attempt to imitate for responding and reacting to attacks; those being lightning, water, wind, fire and earth. When imitating the element of lightning, Sannoto uses his arm in the form of an axe, lifting up and then chopping over, often using natural energy as an power enhancer and extension for this technique. With this technique, he can use the natural energy to slice through elemental ninjutsu techniques. The second element is water, in which Sannoto imitates that of a geyser and drills forward; typically using natural energy to extend the range of his technique, which normally sends the opponent flying backwards.

The third element if wind, which takes the offensive side of combat, resembling that of arrows exploding forwards. With this, Sannoto normally throws multiple, powerful strikes with his hands, using the natural energy to enhance his blows and to extend the range, to the point where if Sannoto misses his opponent with his hand, the natural energy which still strike them. Due to the amount of blows he throws, it is nearly impossible for anyone to dodge, as even most Dojutsu users have trouble following his movements.

The fourth element is fire, which utilizes both offense and defense simultaneously, with Sannoto exploding forward while blocking, using natural energy in the environment as a shield to protect himself, which he then uses as a weapon to injure his opponent. The last element is Earth in which one stands their ground, similar to that of a rock, completely unmovable. When imitating this element, Sannoto uses the natural energy in the environment to form a protective wall in front of him. This isn't really a move meant to deal any damage but is instead a move used to defend him from incoming attacks.

In the Fist of the Sage, there are four distinct animals in which Sannoto imitates personality-wise and movement wise, utilizing several unique techniques with each animal.

Snake (蛇, Hebi): The Snake often represents intelligence, happiness and is normally a sign when something needs to be done. Snakes are normally portrayed as supernatural creatures, which hold serious supernatural powers. As a result, this fighting style is not as ferocious or truly “Straight forward” in the slightest and instead relies on secret techniques and hidden attacks to truly deal damage to its opponent. As a result, snakes do not rely on sheer power, or size. Instead, snakes rely on supernatural-like abilities and unique attacks fueled by their extremely refined intellect. The snake prefers a quiet, lone environment and will often walk away from conflict than engage in it. Where the crane is a graceful dancer, the snake stylist is sinuous, sexy, flexible, rubber-like dancer. Every movement is deliberate, precise, well controlled and is very alluring, if not borderline hypnotic. The snake requires a well-positioned head for detail, eyes for precision and requires some strength which does not inhibit the rhythmic flexibility it possesses.

When using the snake stylist, Sannoto mirrors the snake’s teeth and body attacks with Sudden Strikes and Holding Locks. These two attacks seemingly contradict one another. One requires quick and precise strikes from the hands and feet while the other requires strong arms and body for locking. Though, where both join together is that they require the knowledge of where and how to strike certain portions of the human body. The snake style normally relies on attacking the nerves an opponent, as Sannoto’s studies about the human body, attributed to his severe physical conditioning, provides him with such experience that he can normally attack and strike an opponent in these specific weak points without a complex thought.

There are five main principles of the snake fighting style that Sannoto has mastered to further improve and truly perfect the imitation of a snake. The first principle is commonly referred to as Order. Naturally, order is the key to all success; it is the building block for entire civilizations, enlightenment, and coexistence in general. When there is order present, chaos, and mischief are absent. Without order, which essentially is composure, this style would simply not exist for it relies on preciseness and random and uncontrolled attacks. The second principle which is needed to achieve a perfect imitation of the snake is Knowledge. Like order, knowledge is also a major factor which leads to success. Simply possessing the knowledge of knowing what is possible and what isn’t; such as knowing what works best and what does; knowing your opponent’s weaknesses and your strengths; knowing how to maximize efficiency with minimum effort. Without knowledge, one’s actions cannot even remotely be successful in any way.

The third principle is skill, which is essentially the transformation of knowledge into successful actions. With this, one knows how to do the best movement to the best place in the best way possible. Without this principle, there is simply theory and words which do very little in a battle designed for only two opponents. The fourth principle which Sannoto applies is Accuracy and Timing which is derived from the principle of Order and is used together with Skill and Knowledge to truly achieve the best action possible. With this, he can strike/move at the right time, right place and in the most effective manner. Lastly, the principle of Patience is simple waiting for the perfect time to strike, dodge or fight. With these principles all combined into one fighting style, it truly makes Sannoto’s offense and defense nearly unstoppable by normal means.

Evasion, Speed, Accuracy and fluid motions are physical attributes required to fully master and imitate the style of the snake. These physical attributes make for alluring movements, which are somewhat hypnotizing in a sense. When utilizing this fighting style, Sannoto’s attacks and defense are the best for the best with the least amount of effort. Techniques are short and long but very quick, precise and sharp. Whipping, thrusting and wrapping are normal techniques that the Senju man use in battle to truly damage his opponents. Snakes strikes are short, sudden and surprising. Their grabs are long and painful. As a result, Sannoto has strong figures for these short strikes and extremely powerful arms and legs for trapping and holding. The Snakes Core Strength is crucial as is a good center of balance; strong legs and low stances to allow it to twist and bend and still encircle a large opponent and squeeze the air out of them.

Tiger (虎, Tora): The tiger is the king of the land, attributed to the fact that it asserts its ferocious power and dominates. Armed with claws, strong jaws and perfect size, the tiger’s objective is completed through absolute power. Dominating, controlling and large, the tiger relies on pure physical conditioning and inner energy to unleash their explosive force, making it the ultimate predator. As a result, the tiger doesn’t need to defend, as it is suited for quick, direct strikes and absolute offence. The tiger’s techniques are not strategic, but are instead reactive, instinctive and dominating.

The tiger animal form is direct, sudden and absolute. It lacks the complex steps, manuvers and blocking techniques, solely relying on Sannoto’s physical prowess to deal damage. The attacks are powerful and final, with the Senju usually aiming for the weak points in the human body to take them down. These weak points are several things, the first being the throat and the second being the joints of the human body. Typically, he’ll look to target the throat for various reasons, being the bridge that allows for oxygen to cross into the body and also being the home to two major arteries. The joints are targeted second considering the fact that they are weak but are responsible for movement in the human body. Using ferocious strikes, Sannoto can damage both targets, injuring the throat and breaking the joints to incapacitate his opponent, leaving them vulnerable to a finishing blow.

Considering the fact that Sannoto isn’t a tiger, he cannot make use of actual claws and powerful jaws to damage his opponent. However, he has invented three basic techniques, if not steps, which emulates and allows him to mimic the movements and attack styles of that of a tiger in the best way possible. The first is the tiger maul, a technique where Sannoto extends his two first fingers, bending them slightly, while keeping the rest closed and extending his thumb as well, creating a little cup-like shape. With this, he uses this unique he can strike his opponent’s neck, closing his fingers after gripping their neck to effectively wound them; depending on the amount of strength he puts into this move, Sannoto can even crush someone’s entire neck with this move, killing them instantly.

The second movement that Sannoto emulates from the tiger swipe, in which Sannoto places his palms towards his opponent to represent the a tiger swiping at his opponent. As opposed to grabbing his opponent's neck, Sannoto instead focuses on attack his opponent's joints with this move, slamming his palms onto their joints to break them, using his internal energy to fortify his physical prowess even greater than what it is. Because this technique is more for striking than grappling, it is even possible for Sannoto to defend with attacks; something unique to most fighters. By meeting his opponent's attack with his own, he can ultimately use his own strength to deflect their attack with one arm and then attack their joints with the other. Although tigers do not need to defend, this is not actually a defense move but is instead meeting an attack with an attack.

The third and final movement that Sannoto emulates is called the tiger hind claws, which is perhaps the most dangerous of his techniques, relying on pure muscle strength which resides in the legs; these muscles being the most developed out of all of Sannoto's muscles. The typical movements of this revolve around complex sweeping, breaking and powerful roundhouse kicks which are capable of breaking most shinobi's bones with a single strike and breaking their necks with relative ease. The tiger hind claws strikes are purely aggressive, offensive and lacks finesse. This technique revolves around eschewing absolute pin point strikes which seek to end the battle with a single hit, or several hits but no more than ten hits; usually creating an opening for the strong roundhouse kicks and sweeping kicks which act as both an attack as blocks in a single movement.

Dragon (竜, Ryū): The Dragon is often the most spiritually adept out of all creatures on the earth. For centuries, people have studied under them hoping to obtain a fragment of the wisdom that these creatures have managed to gather. Dragons may live in the heavens, ocean, in a swamp, the wetlands, etc. They are the most versatile thus this animal style stands as one of the more adaptable out of the five that Sannoto uses. To imitate the internal proficiency that dragons often has, this animal form calls upon more than physical prowess to truly prove efficient and requires one to have full command over their chakra to maximize the potential of this fighting style. Secondly, a developed physical body is required but one where strength and speed are not primary concerns. Instead, agility and fluidity is required to make the smooth transitions from the hands to the feet without slowing down or choreographing your movement. The ability to adapt to any possible attack and defend against it is the dragon's concern and greatest attribute: Fluid like water, but unbreakable like earth.

Footwork is essential in this style for with poor footwork the transitions stiffen and slow the body regardless of how fast one may be. The lower portion of Sannoto's body is often moving in zig-zags so that he may access floating and sinking movements so that his body becomes very calm and relaxed, opening up his joints and meridians allowing for a greater chakra circulation and much more power and stability with every movement. With every step, the rear foot eventually becomes the front foot with each step taken which he always does at an angle of around thirty five degrees. Overall, this makes the footwork appear circular which often makes creates an angle where Sannoto is capable of reaching his opponent (albeit with the help of his natural energy extended range) while making it harder for his opponent to reach him. Such a technique forces his opponents to reposition their bodies almost constantly to attack and defend leaving them void of any true power due to a lack of stability and focus.

Often times, Sannoto utilizes a five finger technique in which he'll use chakra to enhance the power of his pinching techniques which target the muscles, tendons and meridians. Similar to a dragon's tail, Sannoto's lower body's movement consist of tactics that targets sensitive areas of his opponent such as their groin, ankles, feet and the knees. Each attack used in the dragon's art is to weaken or cripple his opponent through a rather aggressive form of defense. When his opponent strikes, he simply takes a zig-zag step to avoid combat while dealing damage to the appendage they struck with or their body by using natural energy to enhance the range of his attacks so that he doesn't have to make true contact to deal damage.

Monkey (猿, Saru): Monkeys are known for their cleverness and playfulness. They are the mischievous beings of the jungle causing mayhem by either swinging from vines or flinging their poo. Truly the most unpredictable animal due to their intelligence, this fighting art emphasizes speed, flexibility while being completely unpredictable. One of the more intellect-reliant forms, Sannoto uses a broken rhythm to hopefully confuse his opponents in an attempt to force them to "guess" when his attack will come or when he'll roll. He causes them to multi-task with guessing both the time of his action and what action will he take.

As it relies on flexibility, most of the movements of this form are not movements that occur on the ground and instead consist of sideway flips, rolls, backflips, hand stands, walking on his hands, and many more random acts of motion. The kicks and strikes are often weaved into these flips and superb acrobatic acts as these flexible movements are simply disguising his attacks/defenses. Like the monkey, the strikes are often cheap and directed to the eyes, groin, throat, knees, or areas that his opponent least expects him to truly act upon.

In this style regardless, Sannoto's defense does not lie within allowing his opponent to make physical contact but instead relies on evading and staying several steps ahead of them. When they strike, he has already registered their move and has made another movement to force them to change trajectory, but then he makes another to force them to move again. For such reason, speed is heavily required in such a style thus he often makes use of the Idaten to boost his speed to levels where it allows him to move in such a manner.

Bukijutsu
From a young age, Sannoto excelled at using weaponry, despite his peaceful nature as a child. Guided to them from generations of experience, seemingly pulled into a continuously flowing tornado that encapsulates one in a pattern forever. Apart of this vortex because of his fusion, Sannoto found weapons much more interesting and easier to use than many others. For this, he has trained a large portion of his young life under the tutelage of Hiruzen Sarutobi who helped him master the several different weapon styles, as he wished to be a master of them all.

Suited to his unique skills involving the manipulation of metal, along with training in regards to bukijutsu with Hiruzen, he holds a speciality even among his general specialization in weapons; shurikenjutsu. Even without his natural ability to "guide" his shuriken, Sannoto is recognized for his excellent marksmanship, evident by his ability to throw multiple shuriken and hit multiple targets with a single swipe, simply by using small movements in regards to his fingers and wrist. By bending and causing tension in specific fingers, applying different amounts to each finger to affect the route of each shuriken, he can subsequently cause his shuriken to curve in different directions. This is a unique, advanced style of shurikeninjutsu, one that is best suited with his ability to control metals.

Sword of the Seven Kings: While he possesses more skill in long range weapons that are often used for throwing, Sannoto is still skilled in close range combat as well. He often uses Kenjutsu, normally making use of his unorthodox fighting style involving six blades to overwhelm his opponent with series of strikes, however he can also use one blade effectively as well, though he seems to be more comfortable using all six. Sannoto, when utilizing all six blades, seeks to overwhelm his opponents with fierce and quick strikes, continuously so that they cannot go on the offensive, then once their defense is weakened he goes for the finishing blow. A sword style invented by him, he has created all of the techniques associated with it, including the blades themselves. Unique than anything is that this sword styles does not include any Kenjutsu forms, informal in nature, and makes use of his incredible speed and mind blowing strength to continuously attack his opponent with fierce strikes. Anyone with any formal swordsplay could pose a threat easily, though one must possess the physical fortitude to withstand the aggressive assault.

Under certain circumstances, Sannoto will make use of a single blade, normally when facing a swordsman who is renowned or has shown above average skills; such as samurai of the Land of Iron, for they possess the finesse to easily best his aggressive swordsplay. Sannoto makes use of a single unique blade created from the other six that he once used; combined to form a sword of absolute power. This blade holds special properties, one from each of the six blades. From the Beelzebub, the Sugari no Ontachi inherits its ability to absorb chakra. From the Mammon, the Sugari no Ontachi inherits its ability to transmute something into metals. From the Asmodeus, the blade has been given a very strong form, able to withstand physical attacks from the highest caliber along with a resistance to chemical attacks. From the Leviathan, the blade inherits extreme poisonous attributes that can kill people in minutes. Lastly, the Satan supplies the radioactive attributes, allowing the blade generate explosives. Combined into one blade, it is the ultimate sword and each aspect of every blade can be used simultaneously due to Sannoto's mastery.

The use of the single blade allows the Senju to use his rather formal kenjutsu skills that he has devised based on his own Fist of the Sage unpredictable fighting style. He will often apply to enhance the range and power of his attack. Sannoto's swordsplay possesses a special quality, something which is rarely seen within the shinobi world, displaying both deadly and beautiful, smooth movements of the blade. With these movements, Sannoto can fully control the blade with relative ease, seen in several of his moves where he lifts the blade towards the sky at a 35 degree angle and then brings it down towards his opponent's forehead, sometimes their feet, with a single flick of the wrist. Sannoto's attack with blade are usually swift and strong, relying on the strength and flexibility of his wrist as a basis.

Sannoto's swordsplay is simply one continuous movement instead of several movements at once, though this is not simply just his blade and requires his body to be in tune with the blade. As a result, Sannoto tends to move his entire body together as opposed to standing in a single place and stance, allowing him to attain a flow to his swordsplay and increases his ability to maneuver and evade enemy attacks while delivering precise strikes to his opponent rather than their blade. Sannoto tend to rely on linear movements with the blade, granting him the ability to cleanly slice, stab, and cut through most substances all in one motion, utilizing the natural energy as an enhancer to it's powerful power. Defensively, this linear motion can be used to defend himself from attacks, as it allows him to deflect and parry attacks with a steady hand, his sword being unmovable once clashing with other blades, unless he chooses otherwise of course.

In addition to this, Sannoto has noted that this unique style isn't based off of attacking his opponent first but is rather a response to the user's emotional state, thus they attack based off of what he feels at the current time; thus he wouldn't throw his arm towards his opponent if he felt that it would be a danger to his own body, thus the swordsplay usually changes accordingly and is more of a improvisational form of fighting as opposed to simple and common forms that a swordsman would continuously rely on daily. Usually, when swordsman battle their body tenses up in certain places where they are meeting a type of force which pushes against their own, creating a sense of tension. Due to the unique, flowing movement that this fighting style employs, it is much easier for Sannoto to battle and to control the flow of his internal energy to relax these areas of tension simultaneously, granting him the ability to respond to most attacks without tension or stiffness, allowing for faster and smoother attacks.

When utilizing natural energy along with these movements, by using his own internal energy to push the natural energy, his swordsplay truly becomes unstoppable, as he claims that it places him on par with the greatest practitioner of Kenjutsu. Adding natural energy to his swordsplay increase the range of his techniques to the point where his stab can reach over for three feet, piercing those who fail to escape his range in time, with his slices hitting those who clearly evaded his initial attack. Usually, Sannoto unleash a multitude of techniques, making it nearly impossible for people to dodge even without his natural energy. Due to the invisible nature of the energy, most opponent's fail to see his techniques, and those who do know of him tend to stay out of this range, allowing him to control the pace of the battle; eventually with him gaining the advantage.

Metal Weapon Generation (金武器の発電, Kinbuki no Hatsuden) is another technique used from the basis of his transmutation alchemy abilities. This technique is a signature part of his fighting style which involves the incorporation of weapons. With his ability to generate weapons at whim, this eliminates the necessity to physically carry around his weapons and summon them from within a scroll. His prowess with this technique, for it is used often, has led to the instantaneous creation of weapons in different sizes and in different metals. The quick pace in which he can create the weapons, being made of his chakra also allows him to naturally guide these weapons more than others for they are simply an extension of his chakra. The technique supplies him with greater advantages than he would hold if he summoned the weapons, working well in undercover operations as he can enter the respective area harmless, but exist with weapons in his hands.

The normal weaponry that are common are the shuriken and kunai, for they go along with his shurikenijutsu. Due to their small nature, Sannoto can typically generate substantial amounts of kunai and shuriken with very little chakra consumption, though his mastery in the technique does contribute to the very little chakra consumption. These shuriken are normally created from transmutated matter that exist outside of Sannoto’s own bottle, transforming the air particles themselves or earth into his tools.

Another weapon that seems to be common is a canon that release beams of chakra, often used for damaging large groups of people or causing large scale damage. The cannons appear to be his own arm itself, however this would require Sannoto to actually lose a limb for his entire arm would become the canon. The canon is truly formed right around the arm, tightly coiled around it. With this, the palm of the hand is hidden within and is where the chakra is truly generated from, by forcing the energy from the palm of his tenketsu. The energy is released at high velocities, and rather than holding the transmutation properties of his chakra, instead does more explosive/concussive damage. When making contact with something, the high velocities often causes the energy to slam into the target, scattering the chakra in multiple directions similar to pieces of a shrapnel, causing extreme concussive explosive damage.

The Metal Limb Generation is not a principle nor concept, rather it is a technique stemming from the basis of his transmutation alchemy abilities. Despite being the sole possessor, this technique was not created but rather discovered by the child naturally, though unintentionally. Infused with the hexagram, the discovery of this technique was a natural occurrence that was destined to happen, similar to the discovery of the entire ability in general. This technique, unlike the normal usage of majority of his techniques, does not seek to transform any outside, inanimate molecule of any sort, but transforms his very own metallic body. By manipulating his nanites, they can sprout off and form extra appendages for him to use, and then be easily replaced by replicating themselves via his chakra.

The name, speaking for itself, illustrates exactly what the technique allows Sannoto to do; create appendages from metal. Sannoto can generate various extra body parts, or even generate one to replace a lost body part: eyes, arms, legs, mouths etc. The Metal Limb Generation technique is a major component of Sannoto's unique fighting style in which he utilizes six swords made from different metals. This fighting style allows the Senju man to overwhelm his opponent with a multitude of unique blades and strikes for there is six of them, however it leaves major holes defensively, because Sannoto's attention would normally be spread among all of them. As such, his focus on one blade would be greatly lowered as opposed to someone who used one single sword. Such a weakness rarely mattered among those with just proficient skills in the art of Kenjusu, however those who were master level could expand on this and easily defeat the Senju despite his number of blades.

To compensate for such a weakness, Sannoto devised this very technique to create extra appendages that would decrease the risk that this fighting style held. Using his ability to generate several different appendages, Sannoto generates two extra pairs of arm to make up six, allowing him to wield all six blades simultaneously. Following that, he generates two extra heads, limiting the mobility of his original head. While limiting the mobility, the extra heads possess the capability to see and control one pair of the arms. This allows them to act as partners with the same body. Because they are ultimately connected, they can share information almost instantaneously and plan without uttering a word. Although deformed, these generated appendages help divide the focus up equally to counter balance the effects of using six blades. By making it appear as though they are fighting three separate people, for their movements are not connected, the fighting style can truly become overwhelming and unpredictable.

Gold Dust Generation: Following the conclusion of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sannoto decided to adopt a more peaceful method of fighting, wishing not to rely on his swords and bukijutsu fighting style as often as he did. Watching the commander and his father battle, Sannoto observed the elegance, the control over what they could do. Though they were engaged in a battle to mortally wound one another, they had absolute control on how they would wound and where the wound would be dealt, a fighting style where control dictated. Wishing to have the same control, Sannoto imitated this, learning how to generate this gold powder, to utilize in the same manner.

Eventually, after months of researching, Sannoto soon generated the gold powder, but the loose structure of it was much different to manipulate then the hard and solid nature of the normal metals he created and even different from the mercury vapor he can create. When in motion, Sannoto finds that his energies become to mobile and they push the powder to fiercely, and the style is no longer elegant, but rather a battle of power. He did not have the control to manipulate the metal in the same manner as Gaara and his father, however he could use it to enhance the range of his taijutsu. With physical motions, he can guide the gold dust and command it to do whatever he wants. By pulling back his arms, the dust would become hardened and form a barrier around him. If he threw his punch, the dust would launch itself at its enemies.

His most peaceful method of using this gold dust is to capture and immobilize, using large quantities of gold dust to limit the mobility of his desired target, leaving very little space for them to operate. Hopefully through careful planning and strategy, Sannoto is then able to restrict them in their entirety, wrapping the gold dust around their entire body, leaving only their head without gold dust wrapped around it, leaving them incapable of molding handseals or using taijutsu, typically compacting the gold dust immensely when it has been successfully wrapped to prevent the target from breaking from his control. However, most importantly, Sannoto uses the gold dust for an extreme defense, typically when defending others, using the gold dust to block attacks entirely by summoning large walls of the gold dust.
