Sannoto Senju



"I'm a powerful shinobi because I was raised under the impression that I had to fight. If I didn't then that means I would have died, or so I thought. Fear of death was what made progress as a person and as a shinobi. Now though, knowing that I'll never die, I have no reason to fight back, to continue progressing except to become a better man for my family, because they won't be here forever like me. World Peace is no longer a dream. No matter how much light engulfs the world, that light won't reach me. Death is no longer a fear. It's a hope"

- Sannoto after his encounter with Kokushi

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 has 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 has acquired the name Kami no Satsusha (神の殺者, God Slayer). With this, he has 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.

Prior to his defection from Konoha and the shinobi world in general, Sannoto could often be seen as a gentle man, who usually had nothing short of a smile on his face. His smile, in its own right, spreads pleasure to anyone with the honor of laying their eyes on it. It is said that finding a frown on his face is even rarer and has only been achieved by those who prey on the innocent children of the village. When this expression is formed, Sannoto radiates something stronger than fear, he radiates power and that is fearful in its own right.

Although quite slim, Sannoto had a well developed cardiovascular build. His muscles are well defined, though they are only truly visible when he takes of his clothes, allowing him to sometimes hide his true power. By those who have seen his muscular prowess, they often describe it as "graceful" yet "powerful". In addition, despite the fact that he is renowned throughout the shinobi world as a powerful combatant, Sannoto's appearance does not reflect this in the slightest, as he does not look rough nor tough. In fact, many fail to discern his identity until after he has reveals his identity. For this reason, hiding was much easier for Sannoto to stay hidden.

A man of height, Sannoto is fairly tall with a height of five feet and ten inches, in which he inherits from his father. Though he is tall, his height is not intimidating, as it is simply average. His weight, similar to his height is average for his size, while also corresponding with both his muscular build and his own height. As such, he weighs around 154 pounds, in which his medium frame which suggest no more or no less. In terms of size, Sannoto's body is perfectly proportionate with itself, with no aspect of his size contradicting the other. His body is constructed to be perfectly in tune with itself.

His thick blonde hair, inherited from his mother, is shoulder length, drooping no further than the tip of his shoulder blade with a bang which covers his forehead. Each thread of hair is neatly kept, flowing as if Suijin quelled the calmest of the ocean currents. 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. Sannoto's hair is truly outstanding, being his most prominent feature according to many. It's 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.

His attire, during the time when Orochimaru attacked Konoha and prior to his defection, Sannoto wore the standard Konoha attire, with 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. In addition however, for common clothes, 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.

Three years after Otogakure and Sunagakure attacked Konoha, Sannoto once more matured, his physical energies responding and changing his appearance to accompany the change in his physical condition, appearing similiar, but definetely different in many ways. As such, his face is newly reconstructed, bearing similarities to his other self. Sannoto's jawbone is much more defined, his nose is placed centered and is straightened and his eyes are now a light green color as opposed to the blue that they once were. Although small changes, Sannoto appears to be a new man.

Also having a secondary job other than being shinobi, that of a very successful blacksmith, being of value to many such as officers, military, merchants and even bandits, thus he bears a unique outfit among many so that they recognize him as a superior officer. Sannoto's role in the black smithing business is unique, as he has access to the most valuable metals, simply because he possesses the ability to create gold, he often pays for the services required from the village by selling his gold globally under a different name. Regardless, he is 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 completes 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 is the the emblem on the middle of the cap, a circle with a sword sticking through it. Following this, is a blazer with a badge on the right side of his chest. Lastly is 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.

Unlike some, Sannoto changes his attire when his duty is up, adopting a more casual appearance rather than continuously wear his business like attire, often to impress women. His casual clothes consist of a red, buttoned up shirt with a black tie. Over that, he wears a thin, dark colored coat over it that appears to be more of a vest than anything. On the bottom portion of his body, Sannoto wears black slacks, nice leather black shoes along with a long, tan trench coat. Completing this "nice boy" appearance, he also has small glasses that he wears.

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.

Post-Kokushi Meeting
After being captured by the god of pestilence, Kokushi no Naraku, Sannoto was forced to wait in agony for what it seemed months when it was only a few mere days. Rather than dying from the pain, his body simply regenerated, but the pain remained following each healing process. Coupled with Kokushi's words that immortality is the ultimate sin, Sannoto may be physically incomprehensible, but his spirit is damaged emotionally for he recognizes that his life is in actuality an absolute hell. Acknowledging that his family wouldn't live forever like himself and that anyone he could ever possibly become close would eventually die as well, his desire for happiness upon everyone seemingly vanished with that thought.

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.

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.

Hexagrams are unique in nature, even among those of the shinobi world. Sannoto, one of the few blessed with a hexagram, possess that of Hexagram 11: Tai-Pervading, Peace and Greatness. This hexagram, similar to most hexagrams, operates as a formula for his life. As his energies correspond with the energies of the universe, the universe responded with a blessing and curse for this compatibility and unique correspondence. Among the hexagrams, those that possess an equal ratio of broken and unbroken lines, equal ratios of yin and yang, equal acts of sin and righteousness, are extraordinarily rare. As such, they are supplied with an amazing gift, but at a great cause, for they often are manipulated by others for all of eternity.

Sannoto was a fortunate and unfortunate recipient of this hexagram, possessing strong, if not demanding, affinity towards all metals, but at a sacrifice. His hexagram is the combination of the two trigrams, Qian-The Force which is derived from the metal element of the universe and Kun-The Field which stems from the earth element of the universe, grants him “force over the metal fields of the earth”, providing a dual-skillset that caused Sannoto to find a special interest in weapons, obviously those of metallic characteristics, feeling as if he could naturally guide them to wherever he wished, for he actually could. In truth, this was a result of the hexagram, allowing him to surpass even the most talented bukijutsu masters at a young age.

Long ago, hexagrams were discerned by the ancients, who believed that they not only played a significant role in one’s abilities, but mapped their entire lives. Created by the entities of the universe, they believed the hexagrams as some type of compass. While correct that the hexagrams did map out their entire lives for those bless with one, the ancients had not realized that the hexagrams happened to be the entities of the universe reincarnated into a human. These entities, created millions of years ago, once prospered in the other world where spirits lie, but once man were created and the chakra was taken by the Shinju, sixty four of them were summoned to the corporeal world and reincarnated into man, given a discrete task of watching over them.

In truth, hexagrams are the guardians of mankind, hired by the Goddess. Created from her will, prior to her corruption, these hexagrams were extensions of nature, literally created from a molding of the natural energy of the world to take form. To influence the world, each hexagram, which is an intangible spirit, would need to possess a human. However, once a hexagram’s host dies, they fuse with the spirit of a human with an identical energy signature as themselves, taking the previous person's chakra as they continue moving onward in their constant cycle of reincarnation. Sannoto, possessing a unique energy signature, fused with hexagram 11. In truth, these recipients are simply sacrifices, for while they are conscious, they are not in control of their life on a long term level.

These hexagrams often gift these sacrifices with a specific ability unique to them. For many, they are the same ability, for these are the abilities that the hexagrams themselves possess. However, to ensure that these abilities are developed by the person, their history is often affected, as the spirits dictate a portion of the recipients’ personality, causing choices to be made that would affect the outcome of their future. For most of the sacrifices, these are often the most difficult times of their lives, for their uprisings are often filled with struggle and are corrupted in nature.

Evidence suggests that chakra can be inherited, evident by the very first ninjutsu user being the first one born with chakra. As such, 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. The hexagram, Tai possesses the same energy signature making the child an excellent candidate, and they fused. However, when a hexagram encountered someone with a completely identical energy signature, which is exceptionally rare in the shinobi world for a human's energy rarely comes into to reflect that of nature, they fuse completely with the being as the person is the perfect host. Rather than cling onto their spirit and body, the hexagram fuses with the host spirit and body, becoming one half of them.

Born with special conditions, Sannoto would adopt an unique physiology that even differed from others that inherited a hexagram. Rather than have the spirit inhabit his body, something else occurred; the creation of a philosopher's stone. The philosopher stone has a physical and spiritual requirement to be create however, requiring human souls to comprise its power along with the panaceas medicine, a unique potion that establishes vitality. The absorption of chakra from host to host, the hexagram has direct access to the souls of the people. The previous transmigrants are bonded to this world, since chakra is what connects to the afterlife and living together, thus their souls reside within the hexagram for all of eternity. Because of the intense and potent spiritual energy he hones, Sannoto's spirit fused with that of Tai's and the other previous transmigrants.

Completing the stone, his senju and uzumaki energies serves as the basis of the stone's physical nature, acting in place of the panaceas medicine. To initiate the change of the fifth element, natural energy is required in conjunction with these other ingredients to create the stone. When these three things came together, the philosopher's stone was generated; the fusion between Sannoto's spirit, the nature entity's endless spirit and the millions of souls from the previous host, the supply of life energy, and the natural energy intertwined to provide the basis for the shift. Becoming a human-philosopher's stone, Sannoto has various abilities unique only to him, including Immortality that will allow him to stay in his prime for the rest of his life. Because of this, Sannoto will never die from age, however other various techniques can be used to kill him otherwise.

Becoming a manifestation of various energies, Sannoto’s physiology is vastly different than any others, giving him one similar to the Tailed Beast in that regard: Yang Chakra from his family, the soul (chakra from previous transmigrants) and natural energy (from fusing with tai due to his yin chakra). As a result of one of the most three prominent energies that make up the universe, 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. Tai, being the nature spirit of metals of the earth, fused with Sannoto and thus gifted him with the knowledge of every possible metal. With such knowledge, the Senju can transmute his chakra and/or material into any metal in existence and possibly even create new ones. Endowed with the capability to manipulate metals and create them, Sannoto's metal abilities are unprecedented and virtually unsurpassed. Regardless of the transmutation, each specific energy grants Sannoto an ability unique.

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, limbs within a night. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 of the Muay Thai, 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.

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.

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. Coupled with his incredible senses, he dodges many attacks with ease, for he detects it earlier than most, and uses his speed to avoid the damage. 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. This speed is what makes his swordsmanship more amazing than anything.

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, but he tends to enter sage mode regardless to avoid extreme chakra exhaustion.

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 three 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.

Natural Energy
Tai, as a hexagram, is not a creation of Kaguya but rather a materialization of her will. Infusing her will into nature, Kaguya spontaneously generated sixty four spirits with specific goals of watching over man-kind. Because of this, each hexagram are simply nature spirits, created entirely of natural energy. This natural energy, though latent, only flows through the hexagram, completely separated from the human body. However, when one wishes to utilize the power of the hexagram, only a perfected user of their abilities can do so, they can call upon the hexagram's 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 a hexagram 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 their hexagram 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, the hexagram completely taking over. With this, their eyes glowing to indicate that the spirit has completely taken over their body and dominates their will. 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. Noticeably, because the natural energy interacts directly with his stamina it increases his overall amount of stamina; his chakra is increased by a third of itself, making it slightly smaller than Kurama’s total chakra amount but approximately 1.2 times. In addition, Sannoto's own energy increases by a third in strength, becoming four times that of the average shinobi. With such potency, the amount of chakra he uses for his techniques is so minuscule that it's almost as if he isn't using any. His regenerative powers suddenly increase with the increase in chakra, his stamina recovery doubling and his injuries rapidly healing, to such extent that limbs heals within mere minutes. At this point, his energies are simply superhuman and above any possible reach that another person may even attempt.

The natural energy from Tai, perhaps the purest of natural energy as it comes directly from a nature spirit itself, Sannoto's physical abilities are bolstered beyond all human recognition, easily allowing himself to be classified as superhuman. Since the natural energy improves the quality of both his spiritual and physical energies, his mental and physical capabilities are enhanced tremendously alongside one another. His conditioning, both mental and physical, are easily classified as superhuman and in conjunction with one another makes Sannoto an extremely dangerous opponent to face, with this physical prowess only capable of being reached by very few shinobi, one being an ancestor of his. For Sannoto, when natural energy is mixed into his chakra, his capabilities are improved to such an extent that Hideki Sarutobi compared his conditioning to that of a Jinchūriki with a chakra shroud.

The natural energy coursing alongside his physical energies, the natural energy enhances the quality of the physical energy by working on conjunction with it. Rather than improve the internal body, as natural energy infusing itself into a human is extremely dangerous, it instead works with the energies externally, infusing itself with them. Being his most famous recognition, obviously Sannoto's durability is increased, making the Senju even harder to damage in addition with the denser metal armors due to the natural energy and his natural invulnerability. As the natural energy flows within the physical energy, it courses with it, following suit. Rather than provide nutrients to these muscles and flesh that the physical energies course throughout, it instead coats along them, forming a thin layer of protection that stops the Senju from being smitten all together. An invisible force, the natural energy deflects most assaults. While the Senju is not physically bolstered, the invisible shroud of natural energy imitates this effect of increasing his ability to take damage, by reducing the amount of damage that he takes.

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.

Because Tai is the nature spirit of metals, the amount of knowledge he has on metals is simply unrivaled. Imbued with the spirit’s intellect, Sannoto intuitively understands the energy ratios of every metal on earth and can use that knowledge to combine metals and change their states. 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
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. To many, fuinjutsu is simply the art of sealing things, altering its atomic structure to a form where it can be contained within a scroll or another object, however fuinjutsu has proven to be capable of much more. Fuinjutsu is the mystical art of manipulating and altering matter and energy by using the seals of the Chinese zodiac to transform the energy by moving it in a specific manner that often correspond with the elements of the universe. For those with hexagrams, Fuinjutsu comes in handy.

Regarding Sannoto, being a philosopher's stone supplies him with a unique form of chakra that allows him to transmute something from one state to another. His unique chakra, generic in nature, works as a fuinjutsu seal. An instantaneous process, whatever Sannoto commands, the chakra shifts into the desired object, literally being an advanced form of chakra control from the spirit that shares his body. While undetectable from any sensor, his chakra is literally ripping apart the objects spiritual and physical energies, allowing it to be reconstructed. However, naturally three things must be present in order for the transmutation to work successfully; Recognition, Disruption and Reconstruction. The first step of comprehension is perhaps the most important, for without comprehension one cannot truly comprehend an action, thus repetition cannot be achieved. For Sannoto, despite being a permanent fusion of the hexagram and absolutely compatible with him, they must understand the inherit structure of properties and the balance of yin and yang energies desired to make the desired element. As such, despite his permanent and compatible fusion, he cannot truly create every element, for he it’d be impossible to know the properties and exact ratio of yin-yang energy in each metal. For this very reason he tends to only use five metals the most, but his vast knowledge allows for a much larger variety if he chooses.

The metals that he tends to use the most are properties mercury, iron, titanium, aluminum, platinum, gold, silver, copper, tin and rhodium. These metals are the metals that he can create himself, however this does not mean his control are over these metals and these alone, for these are the ones that he can create spotlessly. With research, it has been claimed by Sannoto that he could create other metals with relative ease, but he simply doesn’t know the properties of them.

The second step 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, breaking it. 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. However, his unique chakra that seemingly works as fuinjutsu seals does the work for him and thus he requires as much as energy as one would normally use for a fuinjutsu seal. Eventually, this unique chakra was simply the philosopher's stone doing, granted by the stone's impressive powers.

The third and final step of this is the reconstruction, where Sannoto’s own chakra will move the broken energies and mold them with one another in a different pattern, converting physical energies and spiritual energies to one another to ensure that the desired metal is created. The energies are meld together and the metal is created a new. Similar to the previous step, this step is instantaneous, unconscious truly as it simply happens whether or not Sannoto wants for it to occur or not, naturally affiliated with the consequences of having a hexagram. 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. By infusing the metal with his chakra via projection, Sannoto can control the metals and manipulate them to his will, changing their state of matter, bending their shape and changing their trajectory. Though the manipulation is the biggest portion that Tai has granted him individually, Sannoto has also a second ability that is derived from these three elements that he uses in conjunction with his philosopher’s stone. By combining these three elements within the stone itself, he can transmute his own chakra into metals rather than make use of the outside material unless he wishes to. Transmuting his own chakra seems to work better for the Senju, as he doesn’t need to consume and tamper with nature.

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.

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. Informally trained, as most shinobi are, 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 non magnetic qualities. 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.

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.

Space-Time Ninjutsu
One faithful day, a sakura from an alternate dimension was brought to the naruto world, where she was capable of interacting with others physically, emotionally and consciously. Later, naruto and sakura would be projected into the genjutsu world where they could physical interact and emotionally do the same, even have the nine-tails taken from him despite it supposedly being a "genjutsu". The effects of limited tsukuyomi is that the dimensions generated by the "genjutsu" are indeed real dimensions, evident by the different naruto and sakuras that could travel between them, making up the concept of the space-time ninjutsu.

Madara Uchiha, though he later acquired the Shinju, could initially use the infinite tsukuyomi by simply being attached the demonic statue's husk, even without any tailed beast chakra within, though the husk itself is entirely made of natural energy. By adding natural energy, or rather getting it directly from a force of nature, once can generate an infinite tsukuyomi, using the natural energy to create a fluctuation in the space and time continuum of a specific area. Following then, using the basis of yin and yang, chakra can be added to add substance to that area, subsequently generating a pocket dimension, as most home to summons are often key places to learn to control natural energy, due to these dimensions being a result of the distorted natural energy in an area.

With a majority of his chakra being that of natural energy, Sannoto can imitate this same method used by Madara, discovered when he attempted to create a space-time ninjutsu of his own. However, by using his chakra, he links the distorted dimensions together into one shared dimension. Following this, Sannoto can move through the shared dimension to access these individual dimensions that branch of instantaneously. Using his natural energy to distort the natural energy around the desired thing he wishes to teleport to, using his chakra to link these distorted areas, he can instantly teleport to these distorted areas, allowing him to appear in the location he wishes to.
