Chapter 1 Time Travel

In the first year of Konoha, inside the mansion of the Senju clan...

"Who are you?" The man with white hair and red eyes asked, looking seriously at the child in front of him.

"Dad!" The child's eyes lit up. He looked about four or five years old.

"Tobirama! You! You!" Beside the two, a long-haired man with a whirlpool symbol on his head roared in shock.

"Brother! Kid! Who are you?!"

The two men in front of the child were none other than the God of the Ninja World, Senju Hashirama, and his younger brother, Senju Tobirama.

And this little boy was our protagonist, Sima Dave.

To put it bluntly, he had actually traveled through time, into the world of the Hokage ninjas, and had become the son of Senju Tobirama. Senju Tobirama has a son? Dave was as confused as anyone after time-traveling. How could his father be Senju Tobirama? This was what his mother had told him in this life.

His mother explained that before Konoha was established, during the Warring States period, their family had been a prominent clan in the Land of Fire.

Senju Hashirama had brought his younger brother to their family and invited them to join in building a peaceful village, but the clan leader refused.

To Dave's surprise, his mother had only been a member of a branch family back then.

At that time, she was a beauty tasked with entertaining Tobirama and Hashirama.

After the two got drunk with the clan leader, his mother had been the one to send the intoxicated Tobirama back to his room... and then... Tobirama had... well, something had happened. Cough, cough.

His mother didn't want to stir up any trouble, so she pretended that nothing had happened. Tobirama, being completely unaware, also assumed nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. However, his mother had ended up pregnant.

The other clan members mocked her for being immoral, and she eventually died of depression last month.

Dave felt that he could no longer remain in the clan, so he decided to seek out his father.

On his journey, since he had never practiced chakra, he was killed by a wild beast.

And that's how he ended up traveling into the body of this boy.

And that's how he found his father—Senju Tobirama.

If he hadn't traveled through time, Tobirama's only descendant would have died in obscurity, with no one the wiser. Even Tobirama himself wouldn't have known.

"Nani?!" Tobirama roared in confusion after hearing Dave's story.

"I remember now—are you from the Sima clan?" Hashirama slapped his forehead hard. He recalled that, indeed, he and his brother had drunk with the leader of the Sima clan, and when he went looking for Tobirama the next morning, Tobirama had been naked.

"That's right, Lord Hashirama. My mother passed away in grief, and I couldn't stay in the clan any longer. I had no choice but to seek out my father," Dave said, pitifully, his eyes reddening with tears.

"I..." Tobirama was still stunned. He was already thirty years old, and suddenly he had a son? Who could process that?

"Tobirama! Dave's mother died because of you—are you going to abandon your son?!" Hashirama, the God of Shinobi, rarely got angry, but now his voice was so loud that the whole house shook.

"Brother! Are you really going to believe this kid's words?"

Tobirama loudly argued with his brother, though a bit guiltily.

Some memories did resurface.

When he woke up that morning, he found himself without clothes.

He had thought he had simply taken them off because he was overheated from the alcohol.

But now... this?

"Father, I have an ability," Dave said suddenly.

Dave stretched out his hand and made a few hand seals at random. Suddenly, the ground outside the door cracked, and a massive vine shot up from it. A pea shooter appeared in front of the three of them, shaking and winking at Dave.

This was the "cheat" he had brought with him after time-traveling.

He could summon plants from the game Plants vs. Zombies from his previous life to help him fight.

At the moment, he could only summon pea shooters, sunflowers, potato bombs, walnut walls, and kernel-pults.

Dave believed this ability was similar to the "system" he'd read about in many online stories in his previous life.

But despite calling for days, no voice had ever answered him. The only thing he knew was that once he became a Genin, he could summon ten more plants.

Well, it was strange enough that his name was Dave, and he could grow plants. The connections were too ridiculous to ignore.

"Wood Style!!!" Hashirama and Tobirama exclaimed in unison. Tobirama finally believed the story. This ability resembled the secret Wood Style technique that only his eldest brother could use, and which only the Senju clan had mastered.

"Tobirama, if this boy isn't your son, I'll write my name, Senju Hashirama, backward!" Hashirama declared, ready to teach his brother a lesson. He gave Tobirama a good thumping.

Tobirama didn't fight back. He felt he deserved the beating. After all, his recklessness had caused hardship for two people, while he had enjoyed a peaceful life in Konoha.

A moment later...

With a bruised face, Tobirama knelt before Dave.

"Dave, I am truly sorry for what you and your mother had to endure!" With that, Tobirama kowtowed, but Dave quickly reached out to stop him.

"I don't blame you, father..." Dave shook his head, looking into Tobirama's sincere eyes. He suddenly found the word "father" to be as heavy as a thousand pounds.

After all, they had only just met. Though Dave knew Tobirama was his father, it was hard to say the word. A sense of awkwardness filled him. Damn it, he thought. As soon as I travel through time, I have to acknowledge a father?

"Alright... from now on, you will be known as Senju Dave."

Tobirama said with tears in his eyes, holding Dave while choking up.

He could tell that Dave wasn't fully comfortable calling him "father."

After all, he hadn't known about his son for years and had never been there for him.

His son likely held some resentment, but Tobirama would work to win him over.

The Sima clan... just wait... Tobirama thought, his tearful eyes hardening with resolve.

Meanwhile, Hashirama, standing nearby, watched the touching father-son reunion with a goofy smile. It was great to see Tobirama, who had been single for over thirty years, finally have someone to take care of him.
