Shiroi Senju

Shiroi was the creation of an espionage plot gone awry. In the past, the village of Iwagakure sent a young but loyal ninja to Konoha to gather information. Her name was Kami Noke. She joined as if pretending to be from the fire nation. She had all her papers that showed such. She wished to become a ninja. It was her dream. At least, that is what the Hokage thought when he allowed her into the village. However, in actuality, she was there to spy on the village of Konoha. It was a tactic never used before, sending somoene so young, so in experienced in. She knew only one jutsu; Flying Technique. She had been taught this directly from the Tsuchikage so that, if she were ever discovered, she could escape.

From the day she entered the village, she started becoming a Konoha nin. She entered the Ninja Academy, quickly completing all the tests. It would have been near impossible for her to not, since she was already taught advanced chakra control so that she could use the flight technique.

She was placed into a squad with two other, a Senju and an Uchiha. Their names were Nendo and Saroko. Nendo, he was the brains of the group, and Saroko, she was the espionage. Nendo could analyze faster than you can believe, and Saroko knew how to get around undetected, using a variety of different jutsu. This really helped her out when she continued to develop her Sharingan, for, once she knew its genjutsu, she could sneak up behind an opponent and quickly capture them, with almost no time to react. Kami was the groups defense. Well, eventually she was. Starting out, however, she had almost no idea where to go in search of ability. She was useless in battle. Well, until she found scrolls on Hair style ninjutsu. Soon, she was able to quickly lengthen and harden her hair. She was a living shield. Few shinobi would have hair reaching down to their knees. However, for Kami, this worked perfectly well. It meant that, for basic protections of herself, she would not have to lengthen her hair, just curl it around herself and harden it. She became adept at this style of ninjutsu. She had almost forgotten the flying technique. Almost.

Perhaps it was because they spent so much time together, perhaps it was because of something else. Nendo saw something in this person that stood by his side fight after fight. She was amazing. While his one team mate zipped around the field immobilizing one opponent after the other, Nendo would stand with Kami right by his side. They would be using much wider area attacks. Well, Nendo would be doing most of the attacking. Kami would be protecting them both from harm. It was when they both almost died that they knew what would happen. It was then that Kami knew she was no longer a secret Iwagakure nin. She was a Shinobi of Konoha.

Kami and nendo were on a mission, just the two of them. They were infiltrating an assassin base. They were ambushed, overwhelmed. Even the combined might of Kami Noke's hair and Nendo's wood were inadequate to stop them for long. They could not win. They looked into each others eyes, held each others hands, and cried. They regretted all they would be unable to do. They wished. The wished they had had time to get to know each other as more then friends. As Kami's hair started to give way, they kissed. They expected that to be each of theirs first, and last, kiss. It was not. The attacks on their thin shield stopped. The sounds of swords clashing moved elsewhere. Fire was heard erupting through the cavern in which they sat. Then, silence. There was a thudding of the steel surface of Kami's hair, and a few words were spoken “ar you two ok?” It was a voice they remembered. It was Saroko. Kami released her jutsu and ran to Saroko, hugging her tightly, sending them both crashing to the ground. From that day on, Kami abandoned the village she had once been so loyal to. She took up Nendo, her new husband.

Shiroi is the son of Nendo and Kami. He inherited the blood of the Senju, though he was a little unique. His jutsu, instead of using the wood someone normally sees from a senju, uses spruce, but an incredibly white version. That is why his name is also known as Shiroki; White Tree. But, this is recent history. Before this part is fully known, previous history should be known as well.

He was a rather simple genin. He learned the Wood-Style Transformation instead of the traditional transformation, but, otherwise, he was your normal, standard ninja. In terms of the jutsu the academy taught him, at least. In terms of his family, however, he most certainly was not. Around the time he graduated the academy, his mom was targeted for extraction by a group of elite Iwagakure infiltrators. Within minutes of appearing at the edge of the village, they had entered, and reached her house. They were unable to avoid detection by the barrier that surrounded Konoha, but they were able to send in but one person, who summoned in the rest. That one person ran in the opposite direction as the rest of the team, to serve as a distraction. He knew very well that he might die here. He did it anyways. Most of Konoha's forces silently deployed to the invader's position.

The rest of the Iwagakure nin swiftly traversed to where their intel held that Kami would be staying; at her house. With her husband. And her child who was just barely a genin. They quickly arrived at the location, remaining hidden by traversing under the ground with the use of the hiding like a mole technique. They came up from the ground outside the door, and quietly scaled the building, hidden by the dark of a moonless night. The Tunneling Technique was utilized to get into the building quietly. From there the gagged and bound Nendo, awaking Shiroi at the same time. One of the iwagakure ninja creeped into the room in which Shiroi slept. He was hiding behind the bed. He had ever been taught jutsu, but, he was born with a skill in his clans techniques. This became apparent when he put out his ar to try and defend himself, and wood shot out. The ninja was pounded in the chest. He lost all his air and fell to the ground. He had trouble breathing. Kami had been able to surprise the Iwa-nin since they did not know she was no longer with them. She quickly wrapped them in her hair, and transformed it into spikes. Most of them were dead instantaneously. They were two who survived. As his mother did this, Shiroi was unsure if there were any left. He used his wood style transformation to take on the form of the man who had entered his room. With wooden planks flew out of his body and around him, concealing his visage. They melded together, and their white was slowly replaced by the color of the man's face, his clothing, everything. In moments, it was impossible to tell them apart. He crept out of his room, sneaking to the corner, and peaking around. His mother saw him. She had no clue it was Shiroi. She had handsigns finished in moments, and her hair was shooting towards Shiroi. He managed to remove the wood just moments before it reached him. Recognition hit his mother and the hair stopped. She ran over to Shiroi and hugged him, crying. Shiroi, hugged back. His father rounded the corner in the house soon after and comforted them both. The anbu were on there way to interrogate those who were still alive. Kami stood up and ran back to the room where the men lay. She looked at them. They would know about her; about her secret. She opened the window, the thrid floor window, and, as her husband ran into the room, she jumped. Nendo ran to the window afraid she was about to die. Then, he saw her. She was flying away. FLYING! She was... she was going to the Hokage's office. Nendo saw her last landing outside the office. He ran to meet her, but, by the time he got there, she was gone. His wife. He had lost her. Shiroi grabbed onto his father and suppressed his crying. The past ten minutes had been too much. Nendo did not try to suppress it. He collapsed to the ground, his head in his hands.

Several days later, Kami returned. It was a bittersweet celebration. She was under investigation. She could not stay long. She promised, however, that she WOULD return. Then, days later, she did. This time for good. She had been interrogated, and she had willingly given all she knew. Shiroi had his mother back.

In the next few years, Shiroi advanced to chuunin and genin. He was mentored by both of his parents, and by Saroko, who taught him several fuuinjutsu, including the eight trigrams seal, as well as helped him discover what he was naturally talented in; suppressing the chakra of Bijuu. This was a skill his father had never developed. However, it was one that would become useful most likely sooner rather than later. And so, he advanced to the jounin position and came to know the Hokage quite well. He was going to become an anbu soon, except the Kage was assassinated the day before the “announcement.” The next kage, Shuuheki, was young, but he was powerful. Shiroi respects him. He did protect the whole village, after all.
