Sannoto Senju



"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always."

- The Perverted Metal Seeker of Peace

, once a warrior for to dispose at will, he has long since disappeared into the shadows of the world. Born to Tsunade and Dan Katō during the Second Shinobi World War, as well as being a former combatant in the following wars, he is a very experienced combatant, if not one of the world's best in certain aspects of shinobi combat. His accumulated knowledge on modern warfare makes him an excellent shinobi, strategist, soldier and assassin. This background, however, has been completely erased, disregarded along with his identity. For what he once was, he is no longer. Recognized as a man of honor, he is cursed as a malevolent being. His honorable nature has been lost and will never be returned.

Accused of killing the Fire Daimyō's elite protection squad with extremely powerful evidence that essentially proves the plausibility of this accusation, he has been forced to abandon his home, his family and friends under a well placed frame committed by a malevolent being. Due to this, he is no longer that warrior that Konoha cherished, that the world feared, as he is now looked at as an angel who plummeted from grace. With a bounty on his head for nearly 500,000,000 ryō, he is hunted almost constantly by all lands in pursuit to gather the prize. Rumors have been told that he lies deep within the forest of an unexplored land, but since his defection no one has spotted him clearly.

This man's name was once and was etched in the history of the world as an angel, but now his name is used as a curse, a demon hated, loathed by the very creatures that he trained to protect. With the information brokers being incapable of finding him, Sannoto travels the shinobi world constantly under the alias of a traveling blacksmith who provides metals of all sorts.

Since this frame from the malevolent man, Sannoto seeks to proves his innocence and worth to the shinobi world, more importantly to the citizens of Konohagakure who he truly seeks to please. However, deep within his heart and spirit he relies that he serves a dual duty to the world to preserve the balance of peace and harmony, which is horribly unbalanced as of currently, for the world is on the brink of war. As such, he is currently battling against all odds, for the frame is well executed and planned, as the most holy actions would barely be enough to convince many that he couldn't possibly be evil enough to murder those men in the manners that they were murdered. Regardless, this must be a separate priority, because his number one goal is to preserve the balance of peace and harmony which he will do before all else. In order to do this, Sannoto truly believes that Akiki Setsumi and Misaki Setsumi, the children of the murdered, are the keys to preserving the peace.

Secretly, he has adopted them, taken care of them for their own benefits and to save the world from the unbalanced brink of destruction. Only two others know of this plan, one being his best friend Raido and his spiritual guide, Yama. Sannoto will carry the nature of this mission to his grave, live his life as a criminal if required and forever abandon his old life and goals to make sure that this is a success. A shinobi truthfully is the only possible way of describing him, for he has truly accepted his role in the shadows with the rest of the members of the three person group,.

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. After his defection, Kakumei's smile falters and he instead adopts a soft expression. His face, which once radiated happiness, no longer radiates happiness but instead radiates comfort. On a few minor occasions can you ever see a smile upon Kakumei's face, and that is apparently only when a naked woman is staring him dead in the face. However, 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, Kakumei radiates something stronger than fear, he radiates power and that is fearful in its own right.

Although quite slim, Sannoto has 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 makes it even 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 his time in 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. 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.

Since his defection, Sannoto altered his physical energies with the help of Tai, seemingly undergoing surgery to ensure that his new features were permanent so that it'd be much more difficult to recognize his being. 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. With a false background and with a new face, Sannoto is unexpected, unidentified in true nature as not even his own mother can recognize him now.

Since assuming his temporary disguise as 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 optimistic 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.

Relationships
A man of compassion, gentleness and an overall warm disposition, both Sannoto and Kakumei have made many relationships over the years regarding friends, allies, partners and foes alike.

Devilish Twins
"If one suffers we all suffer. Togetherness is strength. Courage"

- Sannoto speaking to the Twins

The death of their mother, hated by the current leader for something that wasn't their fault, they wandered the lands, surviving off of what they could steal or kill. While they survived, they did not truly live. They could not live the royal life they were destined to, because the hatred of the world consumed all destinies for those infused with tainted blood. Those of the bloodlines were hated, ruining lives for many. Fortunately, these two twins were found by an angel who shared a similar fate, as he too was hated and his life was destroyed. While he was ruined, he would not let these two children succumb to such a destiny.

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.

Pervading Hexagram
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 Wu Xing and Kun-The Field which stems from the earth element of the Wu Xing, grants him “force over the metal fields of the earth”. Sannoto found 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.

More importantly, the most unique feat granted by the hexagram is once his chakra is emitted in it's natural form, it behaves as if it is a fuinjutsu seal, transmuting matter itself into metals of the earth unconsciously and when interacting with specific seals that correspond with the metal calligraphy of the universe causes a wave of his chakra to be emitted, transforming everything and anything into metal within the range of the wave. Unlike many who possessed hexagrams, Sannoto was one of the few who discerned that he possessed a hexagram. As such, he would adopt a new personal lifestyle, accepting the entity and truly fusing with it, creating a new being. He would simply continue expanding upon this gift, instead seeing it as a some form of mutation.

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 creator. However, as they would not agree to watch over creatures that they didn’t particularly care for, they were tricked by being “given” a task that they would need to complete and only then could they return back to the intangible world. However, the universe assigned opposite goals to other hexagrams, giving each one an opposing opposite, following the common philosophy that opposites must exist to give rise to one another. As such, the goals could never truly be completed as an opposing force would always exist to ensure that it could never be completed. As such, once a hexagram’s host dies, they fuse with the spirit of a human with an identical energy signature as themselves. 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 hexgram, Tai possesses the same energy signature making the child an excellent candidate, especially since he was born exactly ten thousand years after the portals of the spirit world were open. The energies of these spirits were at their strongest and exactly what they were waiting for. To truly achieve their mission, they would have to fully merge with the human.

Being a newborn with the exact conditions, Sannoto was a rare case and his own body was truly merged with that of the spirit. Forever they would be merged, and both of their energies would amplify one another’s, starting the creation of the very first permanent human hexagram. Spiritually cultivated, physically atoned and morally aligned along with his energies perfectly controlled and strengthened, they both had achieved immortality naturally. For as long as their bodies were left unharmed, the effect of aging does very little and they could survive forever. However, in fusing with the infant permanently, once the body is eliminated, the spirit would die as well, thus only 63 hexagrams will truly remain.

Qian, Untouchable Physical Energy
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 Clan, being the children of the Sage himself, were known for inheriting the “body of the sage”; including his exceptionally powerful life-force and physical energy, both which fall under Qian. Naturally, their powerful life-force provides them with incredible stamina, massive chakra reserves, but more important than anything it provides them with increased longevity and exceptional regenerative abilities. The Senju’s life force is naturally powerful enough to grant him the ability to function for days with little rest from the massive increase in Stamina, allowing them to avoid being fatigued from fighting for extended periods of time. In addition, their chakra reserves are often large enough that they can use multiple A-Rank techniques with little difficulty and even access that of the natural art. More impressive than it all is the fact that their life force provides them with a regenerative healing factor that grants them the ability to heal from wounds in short periods of time. Truly they are fascinating.

The Uzumaki Clan, a cousin clan to the Senju inherited the life-force, but without the physical energy, however their life force is much more superior to that of the Senju, for it truly describes their essence. In truth, the Uzumaki’s life force were blessed with immense vitality and endurance directly, supplying those who bore it with incredible longevity, endurance and an even better healing factor than that of the Senju. Those who managed to survive battle and died naturally lived to that beyond the hundred year mark, for they aged much slower than many biologically. Endurance wise, they could take hits directly damaging the body and continue moving as if it was a mere scratch and their regenerative abilities were so powerful that they could heal others with their energy, heal from small cuts in seconds and from major wounds in days.

As an inheritor and direct descendant of both of these, Sannoto is truly a specimen who is blessed. His life force, without the augmentation from the energies of his hexagram, is powerful enough to grant him all of the following capabilities but on a much large scale. Blessed with both incredible stamina and an augmented endurance, he can truly function for days with very little rest, for he would rarely tire physically and once he did, his endurance would allow him to push his body for a extended period of time. His chakra reserves, are truly incredible in nature, being so large that they rival those of the largest reserves, often being compared to that of Kurama; a tailed beast who is often said to possess immeasurable amounts of energy. The last and most impressive ability is his even more accelerated regenerative healing factor, enabling him to heal from cuts in seconds, wounds in hours, and broken bones in days as opposed to the several weeks that it would take most people. Once the fusion of the hexagram began, his abilities became superhuman.

Tai, as a hexagram is truly spiritual in nature, thus while he does possess a noticeable amount of Qian, it is not as potent as one would assume, though it does match it's own spiritual energy; an endless supply indeed. Instead of increasing the potency of his qian, the permanent fusions between Sannoto and the hexagram only increased the amount of his qian, supplying him with immeasurable sources of life energy. of As such, the period of time that he can truly maintain his healing factor, his stamina, his endurance are held longer from the natural time limit that they are originally presented with. More impressive is how his longevity is also increased, for the increase the amount of life energy determines how long he can truly live. As those of his heritage live to ages of nearly one hundred and thirty, he can naturally live to however age he wishes, for the endless supply of life energy supported by Tai allows him to do so, Life-Force wise, Sannoto is physically in his prime even at the age of fifty and is predicted to continue being in his prime until the very end of his life. The effects of aging do almost nothing and his only hopes of being killed is in battle.

The second portion of his Qian is that which governs his physical status, ranging from his general appearance to his athleticism, physical attributes and overall health in regards to anything physically related to his body. Inheriting his Qian from his mother who is of descent of the famous, well known Senju, Sannoto bears a very strong resemblance to his mother Tsunade, however the most important section of this inherited condition if the incredible, unbelievable level of durability he inherited is incredible, for it truly suits his metallic theme. Even without Tai’s influence, Sannoto’s level of durability is astounding, supernatural to many who have the opportunity to observe it in first person.

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 and feel no pain, fall onto solid rock from ten feet in the air, or even be continuously punched in the face by the likes of those with normal strength and continue functioning as if he was never smitten. He is thought of as invulnerable, but obviously to others who have special abilities and such, he simply seems very hard to damage, but not impossible in the slightest.

In addition to his level of durability, 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. However, the most prominent portrayal of his strength is his ability to wield the with one hand and without struggle in truth.

In terms of speed, this physical attribute is less impressive than his strength and surely his durable nature, but impressive in terms of average shinobi. In battle, Sannoto makes use of his speed to constantly deliver strong and powerful slashes with his Kubikiribōchō, 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 blade. This speed is what makes his swordsmanship more amazing than anything.

Kūn, Intangible Spiritual Energy
Tai, a hexagram of purely balanced ratios of yin and yang energies coursing within its essence, perfectly and permanently synchronized with Sannoto, for he too held the purely balanced ratios of energies. For his yang, the name was titled Qian and that makes up a half of his chakra. The other half, Kūn, is purely yin in nature and makes up the other half of his chakra. Inheriting this from his father, who hails from a clan with the ability to turn into actual spirits at will, Sannoto’s own spiritual energy is noticeably powerful without Tai’s influence. His spiritual energy governs everything from his intellect, how his organs function and such, his nervous system and his personality. For this very reason, his personality is much more closer to his father than his mother who is rather hot headed and aggressive, Sannoto is calm and collective just like his own father.

Spiritual Energy, although it conducts no physical alter or offense upon Sannoto, is important indeed for several different things. Unknown to many, Spiritual Energy is associated with the nervous system, for spiritual energy is that of the “soul” in which the nerve system consist of the “original spirit” for it regulates the basic needs of to preserve the body and soul, breathing and the heartbeat. Thus, when the original spirit is amplified, for when the spiritual energy is potent, the nervous system is strengthened thus everything becomes incredibly enhanced in nature; the senses, breathing, regulating the heartbeat and one’s reflexes which seem to be one of the most important things in regards to Sannoto, for his fighting style requires extremely quick reflexes and responses.

The Spiritual Energy is also associated with simply the conscious spirit, in which it is the spirit of knowing, conscious activity and the thinking process. This spirit, unlike the original spirit, is the one increased by training the mind, meditating, learning, etc. As the conscious spirit increases, one’s ability to decisively create strategies that work efficiently and at quicker paces. To many, this appears as nothing but pure genius mentally, however spiritual energy plays a huge role in it. Most people, if not almost everyone are born with a greater concentration of these spirits; possessing either a very strong original spirit or conscious spirit. Both can be increased with different training, but the one that is naturally supplied in bigger and more potent quantities are typically the ones easier for one to strengthen.

Sannoto is naturally born with higher quantities of the original spirit, thus his nervous system is naturally much stronger than his thinking process, naturally. In regards to his senses, Sannoto senses are incredible, like those others who possess a more potent original spirit. While his senses are not superhuman, they are at the peak human condition, thus they are optimally at their best, nothing more and nothing less. More importantly, his reflexes are what are at their optimal condition, if not slightly a bit more. Naturally born and strengthened through trained, Sannoto’s reflexes are often said to be “lightning quick”.

His reflexes are honed to the point where he can dodge attacks almost at point blank range, react to attacks almost the instant that they are initiated; dodging launched arrows, preform amazing physical feats and catch offensive attacks mid-way. His greatest display of his reflexes is with the implementation of his unique sword’s style, in which he uses six swords instead of one, increasing the numbers of attacks that he can strike, but he lacks defense, thus an increased reaction time is needed. Sannoto’s reflexes allow for this, to compensate for the weakness of not possessing a defense.

Tai, on the other hand, possesses centuries worth of experience and knowledge, thus this hexagram offered up enormous amounts of potent spiritual energy that affected that of the conscious spirit, balancing and matching the amount of spiritual energy and the potency of his “original spirit”.

Physical Adaptions
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, his hexagram supplies him with a unique form of chakra that can be transmuted into metals of the earth, for his hexagram is that of Tai. His unique chakra, generic in nature, works as a fuinjutsu seal, for his own internal energies perfectly correspond to the metallic element of the universe, thus his own corresponding metal energies can alter the structure of matter itself and shift it into metals. 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 truly on uses five total metals in his fighting style, those who are unique among themselves.

The metals that he has knowledge on about their properties and ratio of yin-yang are mercury, iron, titanium, aluminum and platinum. The metals that he has knowledge on which he does not use in battle and for other purposes are 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, but this comes with a drastic consequence. Sannoto cannot turn this ability off, thus transferring chakra or lending his chakra will break the physical existence of something, a reason he tends to wear gloves so that they aren’t exposed to his chakra as much, for it does leak out of the tenketsu occasionally, but not enough to break their existence apart, granting it malleability so that it can be changed into another form.

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.

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 cells within his body to maximize the potential of this technique, then making use of his unique, powerful healing factor to reproduce these cells almost as quickly as they are gone. The most commonly used cells are skin cells, for they are already dead and can be easily replicated with much ease without damaging the body greatly.

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.

Metallic Fluctuation Armour
"Alive, seemingly another force generated within his being, he is naturally unable to be harmed. He can fight and fight all day, without worrying about protecting himself, because his metal does that for him. A perfect defense. In status, wealth and abilities, he truly is untouchable"

- Daisuke speaking about his master's abilities

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.

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.

The most advanced techniques in this art are the basics to Sannoto, one being the usage of the wire strings. Many seek to use wire strings alongside Shurikeninjutsu, thus when they utilize it, it is much more difficult. As opposed to training with this, the Senju sought to master the art of wire techniques separately. With no possible training regime existing, Sannoto developed his own philosophy which involved seeing the wires as nan extension of his body. By combining the motions of the wire strings and the motion of his body, one could achieve absolute mastery over them. However, one would need to perfect their own movement before attempting to combine their movements with that of an inanimate object. Sannoto did just this attaining absolute control over his limbs. Once perfected, manipulating the wires became second nature. A new art was devised. Using these wires, he could tie up opponents flay them or use the strands to pierce them. Even more, these wire strings could be used as a method of rappling, allowing for rapid movements across a battlefield making him hard to pinpoint and strike. Attaching these wire strings to the shuriken, he can change the course of the projectiles with a swipe of his finger as if he was controlling a puppet. A new art was devised, a new philosophy was perfected.

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. Titled the Sugari no Ontachi (須賀利御太刀, Ontachi no Sugari), the blade is anti-magnetic, trans-mutative, durable, poisonous, high electrical conductivity and regenerative. With these abilities stashed into one blade, along with Sannoto's ability to use ninjutsu through the sword, it counters his informal training.

Metal Weapon Generation
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, making it appear as if it doesn’t hold the same properties of his normal energy, however it does. 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 damage scale wise, but the damage is not as concentrated on each specific target.

Metal Tech Enhancements
Another technique, this one is perhaps Sannoto most unique for it is one of many to involve transmutation, one of the few to employ the ability to animate the normally inanimate metals created, but is the very first and the only technique involved in medicine. Originally created to damage an opponent on the inside, this technique is one of Sannoto’s most versatile, for it has been a major advancement in the field of medicine, allowing Konoha to rise as the world’s best in regards following the Fourth Shinobi World War. Inspired by the deaths that were caused, the Senju realized the importance of the medical ninja and their role in the world, devising a separate strategy for using these animated transmutations.

These animated transmutations were of small size, nano in nature, small enough to penetrate the opponent without causing immediate attention. While tiny eventually, these transmutations are not tiny when created, because Sannoto cannot create something that small originally. They are of fly size and gradually shrink as they draw closer to the enemy, becoming nano size. These nanos often contain large amounts of Sannoto’s physical energy that holds enhanced healing capabilities, similar to that of, used to animate them and form their size, but as it digresses it can store more of the unused physical energy.

The nanites enter the target’s body and is drawn towards the injury site and upon reaching it, the nanites release all of the stored physical energy into the wound, allowing it to heal quicker and easier than it normally would; simply a way of transferring energy with regenerative capabilities. Healing from within, the wound is healed much quicker than it would with normal medical procedures as it heals from within, causing the cells to regenerate, but while also initiating the transport of white blood cells and other cells that are involved in the human defense system as they recognize an invader, being the nanites, drawing them towards the site that they are treating. With the wound, it takes priority as the bacteria and associated wound is much more of a threat than the nanites.

The extent of the nanites healing has yet to be discovered, since they make use of Sannoto’s extremely potent physical energy, it has proven to have the same effect on them as it has on Sannoto himself. Depending on the severity of the wound, the more nanites needed; broken bones need a relatively high number of nanites, removing poisons, while that of a lost finger requires hundred thousands of nantites to repair. While it is quicker and more efficient, the amount of chakra it consumes is great. The regenerative energy is the same amount needed for normal medical nin, but the total amount of chakra needed is much greater for the actual nanites must be generated, requiring extraordinary chakra control and large quantities of them.

Though never seen, but highly suggested, the nanites are hypothesized to not being capable of regenerating entire limbs such as arms and legs, as Sannoto has devised a secondary use for these animated transmutations. In some cases, through experimentation, Sannoto has used these nanites to literally convert themselves into other constructs by gradually combining with one another and overlapping. With this, he has managed to replicate a clone of himself made from nanites, implying that limbs made of nanites can be implemented as well.

Metal Release
A skill supplied to him by the universe, Sannoto holds the capability to transmute matter into metals through the use of his unique chakra. Using the basis of fuinjutsu alchemy, Sannoto can generate weapons from anywhere and from nearly any source, 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.

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.

Another metal that tends to be more suited for combat is that of mercury, the only metal that is naturally generated as a liquid rather than a solid. For this reason, the boiling point in which it can converted into a gas is much lower than that of other metals. For this reason, Sannoto tends to convert mercury into a gas, for it possesses poisonous properties that can damage his opponent internally. Mercury possesses a ratio balance consisting of “yin-yang-yin-yang-yin-yin”; a 1:2 ratio of yang to yin. While Yang represents life-giving properties, yin represents the soul, spirit. The yang only seeks to make the metal physical, tangible, but the yin is what truly does the damage. When inhaled, for the yang is too little to do much other than make the metal tangible, the yin interacts with the yang of the body, overwhelming each cell infused with the physical energy and destroying it. Just as yang is life giving, yin is life-taking.
