The silhouette of a man in the forest ran fast and furtively, his long black hair covered almost the entire view but he saw well all the same.... His long blue robes with bandaged arms and legs just like every ninja outfit at the time....
Carrying a little basket in his hands, so close to himself as he ventures into the green wildlife outside the newly founded village of Konoha.
He couldn't take that responsibility... No, a little boy now meant ruining all his plans and show the weakness of the warmth only a father would give to his child. With disdain his black eyes look down at the little figure that was squirming under the basket blanket. A frown on his face almost reluctant to hold the basket for longer.
He stops right in front of a river, on a clearing in the forest where some light manages to shine trought the branches of the tall trees, he places down the basket that gets engulped by the tall blades of grass and flowers. Hearing the tiny baby let out cries of despair and hunger he scoffs and mutters under his breath...
"If you die today... You'll save yourself and make a favor to everyone"
Said that the figure stands back up and jumps, disappearing from the area.
The leaves flutter with the wind, the water of the river that beats on the rocks and the chirping of birds is disturbed by a desperate cry, muffled from the blanket that wraps him, the little Kenji wriggles and rolls up in the soft cradle of blankets that wrap him. Drops of salt water run down his rosy, fluffy cheeks... His sweet expression usually calm and content is now crossed by a frown of despair and pain from the hunger and fear of abandonment.
Suddently some footsteps approaches breaking twigs on his way and dried leafs. A tall man with long brown hair and white robes till his feets arrives in front of the kiddo. Panting from the run he crouches down and scoops up the little figure that squirms a little as he gets lifted from the basket.
With his dark eyes, the man gently hushes and swing the kiddo in his arms wrapping a Hem of his white tunic around the child.
"Shh... I got you Kenji... I'm here now"
The man, No other but Hashirama Senju, The first hokage of Konoha walking back towards the exit of the forest with a frown. His steps light and yet fast as he carries the child that have calmed down a little in the arms of an older figure.
"tch... That irresponsible of Madara. Leaving a kid in the forest..."
Surely Tobirama will kill me if I bring an uchiha home.
Hashirama takes down a glance at the small baby in his arms that meanwhile have calmed down and is sleeping from the exaustion. The Hokage's expression softens and he gently wipes with his thumb a few tears that rests at the corners of Kenji's eyes, bringing the little one closer to himself he gently supports his tiny fragile head against his arms and chest.
Poor baby... He is only 4 months old and is already alone. I can't let him die here because of his irresponsible father. Even if... He won't be gladly accepted after what happened at konoha with the uchiha clan
Hashirama thinks in between himself and keeps walking out of the forest, approaching the boundaries of the young village engulped by the rocky mountains. The face of Hashirama carved on the left of the mountain showed all his greatness and authority, sign that he was the first ruler of the village.
Without even thinking twice he brings Kenji secretly in the village and then inside the Senju's clan area where his residence is. While sneaking inside on tip toe trying to keep quiet and bring Kenji to his chambers, Hashirama joilts in surprise hearing a cold stern tone behind himself saying:
"Was it time for you to arrive brother, did you chase that idiot madara? What are you hiding this time??"
Oh well.... Great! Tobirama Senju, the great shinobi extremely racist towards the uchiha have just found out Hashirama and the tiny Kenji in his arms. He folds his arms at his chest, his cold glare unmoving from Hashirama looking for answers, and quick ones.
Hashirama on the other way smiles a bit hesitant and looks at his brother with a slight nervousness that creeps out of his voice
"T-tobirama hehe... Good to see you already awake"
Tobirama scowls at him and approaches with long strides, now towering over him and Kenji that sleeps curled in Hashirama's arms
"tch... Why do you have this uchiha with you? Don't tell me..."
Hashirama gulps and looks down a bit worried for the child saying defensive towards the kiddo that slightly shifts and grips with his tiny fists the blanket around himself letting out a small soft hum as he rests.
"I couldn't leave him alone okay?? He lost already all his family. Just like me and you Tobiram--"
"Enough!"
The other brother quiets down Hashirama that flinches at his stern tone. He stares back down at the kiddo and with hatred and a mixture of disgust he says
"A uchiha... Unclean blood, corrupted people... Unable to control their own power. This child will only bring us trouble, Hashirama. You're an idiot for bringing an uchiha here in our home"
Hashirama doesn't like that comment from his brother and defends the little innocent Kenji, trying not to shout to not wake up the kiddo.
"Listen, I know you don't like the uchiha because of the incident and the querelles that have happened between the two clans, but this kid has no fault! He is innocent..."
Tobirama shakes his head in disbelief, his hand fast reaches out and grabs Kenji's little body pulling him away from Hashirama. He looks down at him serious and coldly analyzing if the toddler had any dangerous weapon on or if it was a trap. Hashirama gasps and reluctancly leaves Kenji in fear that he may hurt him if he keeps pulling him.
"please be careful. Tobirama, he's just a toddler, control yourself"
The little Kenji now help up in Tobirama's arms wakes up letting out cries and soft sobs from the harsh treatment. The legs and little hands were there to kick and attach to something safe and stable, but in doing so Kenji's small fists pull a lock of Tobirama's white hair. His eyes wide and growls bored as he tries to pull that strong hand away from his hair that was almost hurting.
"Damn brat! Leave my hair...! Dammit how can a child be so strong??"
Hashirama watching the scene in slight amusement let out a chuckle and a bit worried for kenji he gently reaches out and pick him up from Tobirama's hands, the little one finding somewhere else where to grip onto, leaves Tobirama's hair and cries softly against hashirama's chest.
"It's alright kiddo... That meanie of my brother didn't want to really scare you or hurt you"
Tobirama rolls his eyes and rubs his head fixing a little his white hair. Staring down at the kid
"oh I actually would love to..."
Hashirama gives a cold glare to his brother and the white haired Senju mutters something annoyed under his breath, thinking- 'Little shit...'
After some long battles of words the two brothers agree on the situation of Kenji.
Kenji may live in the Leaf Village, but he will do so without showing or knowing that he is an uchiha. They will give him a place to stay and grow, kept as an orphan in the village and checked periodically by the Tobirama and Hashirama. Hoping Kenji doesn't awaken the power of the sharingan too soon.
After the two brothers came to an agreement, Tobirama still felt hatred and deep resentment towards the rival clan and especially towards little Kenji who survived death and his father's negligence.
Tobirama tho... Wasn't planning on keeping the truce with Kenji on for a long time.

End first chapter!!
It's short but this is just the beginning of Kenji's story, how will the little one live in such a vast village full of people who hate the uchiha? And tobirama... what he will have in mind?
Note this: In my version of the world of Naruto, all the hokage will be less good and understanding, all much more cruel and anchored to rules and traditions so expect intense scenes. 💅
If you have questions just comment and I'll give you all the answers. Also almost every drawing at the beginning of the chapters are mine, to see more go on my ig profile: thatsky_enty
