What is your name child?
Tobirama Senju was a ruthless man to be sure, but even he could tell by the ragged appearance of this child that the boy was not a trained assassin out for his life. “You’re parents are dead now, are they not.” He set the boy down, beckoning the rest of the small group over. “Lord Hokage, perhaps you might speak to the child more gently?” the same low voice as earlier says with some audible concern. Tobirama barely took his eyes off the child “Silence Hiruzen, this boy has the making of a fine Shinobi. Were it not for his inability to suppress his chakra that would have been an excellent surprise attack.” there it was again he thought, that C word, he still had no clue what it meant.
A gruff voice broke his contemplation, “Look at the bruising on that shoulder, potential Shinobi or not something happened to this place and it’s clear the kid is involved.” the one who spoke seemed to be in his late teens with a mane of white hair and red marks coming straight down from his black eyes. A voice with a slightly mocking undertone spoke next, “Tsunade, perhaps you’d better take a look at the poor boy, I’m sure that must be very painful for him.” the teen had long black hair and unusually pale skin, but his most unnerving feature by far were his snake like golden eyes which watched him coldly. A girl of similar age to the other boys with amber eyes, and blond hair sighed and walked towards the boy and her grand-uncle, “Orochimaru, Jiraiya, this boy has clearly been through enough.” she said as she knelt down weaving a modified Ox and the Tiger signs activating her Mystical Palm Technique, placing her chakra enveloped hand on the boys shoulder.
He felt a pleasant numbness where the feutre Sannin placed her hand when earlier there had been a underlying burning feeling. With her other hand Tsunade guided the boy to look at her “This is going to hurt a little, would you like something to bite on?” he shook his head as to say no. In one quick motion she grabbed his arm and rotated it causing an audible pop as his joint went back into place. The boy grunted in pain but it quickly faded with Tsunade’s medical ninjutsu never leaving his shoulder, the bruise also quickly disappearing.
“Tha…”, his voice still felt odd and faltered so he cleared his throat and tried again, “thanks.., it didn’t hurt as much as when it happened.” Tsunade smiles at him, standing up again and rejoining her former teacher and teammates, leaving him again with the man he’d tried to stab. Sensing the child’s unease Tobirama decided to start the conversation for the boy. He knelt down to look the boy in the face before he spoke “What is your name child?” as Hiruzen suggested he tried to have a softer tone to his voice, and make it a question instead of a statement. Wide golden eyes stared at the man for a short moment, then looked to the side, embarrassment made the child tense up before he spoke “I don’t know Lord Hokage,” he paused a moment before looking back into the Shinobi’s eyes, “I can’t remember what my parents called me.”
