`Tobirama Senju'ৎ³

About three months had passed since the founding of the Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha. The two great clans, the Senju and the Uchiha, had formed a formal alliance, forming the village. By now, autumn was slowly arriving in Konoha; the leaves of the mighty trees were turning golden, the sun was setting earlier than usual, and frequent rains had fallen, leaving small puddles almost always visible on the sidewalks.

One could say that the village for the Senju and Uchiha was divided into two parts: on one side were the estates of the Senju clan, on the opposite side were the estates of the Uchiha. Despite the alliance, representatives of the two clans were categorically opposed to the presence of the other clan on their side.

Late in the evening, the ash-haired Senju went out to inspect the village perimeter. After all, as the Second Hokage, he had to ensure his people's safety at all times. Picking his way through the yellowed leaves of the trees in the deep forest, he caught a glimpse of movement not far away. Without hesitation, he trudged toward the faint movement, emerging onto a small lake, noticing a dark figure on the opposite shore, its back to him.
