The Silent Prodigy of The Leaf
5 parts Ongoing At thirteen, Lin Senju stands out as a prodigy in the Ninja Academy. His skills are extraordinary, mastering an array of Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tota: Wood, Particle, Lava, Blood, Dust, Star, Sand, Ice, Darkness, and Operation Styles (Ope Ope no Mi). Lin's abilities span all five chakra transformations and include mastery in Taijutsu, Genjutsu with his rare Senrigan eyes, and every known Sage Mode, including ones he developed himself. His vast knowledge extends to sealing and medical jutsus, space-time ninjutsu, and forbidden techniques.
Lin's tragic background began with the Nine-Tails attack, which killed his parents, Senju Darurama and Senju Sashuro. They had agreed for him to be a jinchuriki, with half of the Nine-Tails sealed inside him. The other half was sealed in Naruto Uzumaki. To protect Lin, Sukuna, the King of Curses, was sealed inside him and started watching over the newborn to make sure the 9 tail never took control of the newborn. Sukuna became a father figure, guiding Lin to control the Nine-Tails' power. When he turned 6, he befriended Kurama, gaining control over the beast's abilities, and has developed immense chakra reserves as a result.
Lin is known for his solitary nature and quiet demeanor. He finds comfort in carrying his four large swords-Demon-Slayer, Demon-Dweller, Demon-Destroyer, and Demon Consumer-each imbued with the spirits of hell. Despite his vast power, he prefers solitude, immersing himself in reading, writing, and intellectual pursuits. His journey from the Ninja Academy marks the beginning of his continued quest for self-improvement and mastery, reflecting his balance of extraordinary ability and personal introspection.
