Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Child taijutsu prodigy	7	At five years old, overpowered the adult Uchiha Gin in their opening clash and earned his acknowledgement as a taijutsu talent.

Strength of a Hundred	225 245	Channels the Yin Seal's life force into her fists; by this point, she can use Strength of a Hundred as an ordinary attack.
Sage Body	256	Her Metabolism Accelerator, Yin Seal, and life-force-replenishing artifacts develop her into a Sage Body described as no weaker than Hashirama Senju's.

Background

Senju Itama is Senju Butsuma's fourth child. At age five, she had lived a sheltered life away from battle, but the reported death of her brother Tobirama drove her to seek revenge. She secretly left camp in her brother's armor, only for the patrol assigned to retrieve her to be ambushed by the Hagoromo Clan and then surrounded by Uchiha reinforcements. 5

During her escape, Itama confronted Uchiha Gin. Although Gin was an adult, her natural strength and taijutsu let her initially repel him. The two recognized each other's skill before Itama was exhausted and knocked unconscious. Rather than execute her, Gin falsely presented her capture as an order from Uchiha Tajima. 7

Tajima permitted Gin to keep Itama alive as a future bargaining chip against the Senju. Gin instead gave her his bedroom, clothes, and continued protection within Uchiha territory. His system later made her survival a personal necessity: its active quest was to save Senju Itama, and failure would erase him. 23 26 81

To blend into Uchiha territory, Itama dyed her distinctive hair black and eventually lived under the identity Uchiha Ita, publicly described as Gin's long-term tenant. Her true sex became apparent to Gin years after her capture. 31 228 269

After Konoha's founding, she reunited with Hashirama and Tobirama, but chose to remain with Gin rather than return permanently to the Senju Clan. 225 226

Appearance

Itama's appearance changes considerably through the Yin Seal, which can alter her body from a small child to an adult. At the time of her capture, she was a five-year-old with conspicuous black-and-white hair and oversized borrowed armor. 5 184

• Natural black-and-white hair; she temporarily dyed it black to avoid suspicion in Uchiha territory. 31 219
• Frequently appears with short hair or black-and-white twin ponytails in her child form. 219 292
• Bears a purple diamond-shaped Yin Seal on her forehead. 184
• Can physically revert to approximately her five-year-old form or age herself forward through the Yin Seal. 184

Personality

Itama is proud, stubborn, and unusually brave for someone first thrown into battle at five years old. Though visibly terrified when surrounded by Uchiha, she still armed herself with a kunai and fought rather than surrender. Her early meeting with Gin also showed her melodramatic, competitive side, as she eagerly accepted his recognition as a taijutsu opponent. 5 7

Living with Gin gradually makes her more playful and openly affectionate, though their relationship remains defined by constant insults, pranks, and arguments. She is highly food-motivated, easily provoked by Gin's teasing, and particularly protective of him around perceived rivals. 60 108 292

Beneath her combative demeanor, Itama is deeply loyal. She risks exposing herself to save Gin from Tobirama, remains concerned for Hashirama's health, and repeatedly chooses Gin's household despite opportunities to return to her brothers. 225 226 422

Abilities & Skills

Taijutsu and Physical Strength

Itama's physical power was exceptional even as a child and became her defining combat asset after gaining the Yin Seal and Metabolism Accelerator.

• Repelled Uchiha Gin in a direct weapon clash at age five. 7
• Uses Strength of a Hundred-enhanced punches as routine attacks. 225 245
• Possesses a Sage Body supported by extraordinary life force and continuous Chakra circulation. 256
• Has sufficient raw strength to overturn Isobu, the Three-Tails, with her bare hands. 259
• Her power does not automatically grant control over stronger creatures; Gin believed riding and controlling Isobu would still require effort. 245

Yin Seal

Itama mastered the Yin Seal with unusual speed despite supposedly poor Chakra control.

• Stores surplus life force in a purple forehead mark. 184
• Releases stored energy to empower Strength of a Hundred. 225 245
• Alters her biological age rather than merely disguising herself with the Transformation Technique. 184
• Can take on a small “Female Brat” form for mobility, mischief, and psychological leverage against Gin. 292

Metabolism Accelerator

A bound Hextech card supplies the foundation for Itama's later physical growth.

• Generates a large, continuously circulating Chakra reserve centered around her heart. 81
• Enhances metabolism and supports her unusually high life force. 81 256
• May increase her lifespan, but excessive life-force consumption remains dangerous. 81

Equipment

• Kunai — Carried during her first battlefield encounter with Uchiha Gin. 5 7
• Brother's armor — Wore ill-fitting armor belonging to her brother when she ran away to seek revenge. 5
• Zhonya's Hourglass pendant — A protective item given by Gin; its invincibility period and Gin's Flying Thunder God marker provide emergency safeguards during missions. 297

Relationships

• Uchiha Gin — Initial captor who spared and sheltered her; she became his ward, housemate, and closest constant companion. Gin's system quest makes her survival essential to his own. 7 23 81
• Senju Butsuma — Father and Senju Clan leader. His confinement of Itama after Tobirama's reported death prompted her to sneak onto the battlefield. 5
• Hashirama Senju — Elder brother. She reunites with him after Konoha's founding and later worries over his health. 226 422
• Tobirama Senju — Elder brother. His supposed death first motivates Itama's revenge; their later reunion is complicated by her decision to stay with Gin. 5 225 791
• Senju Hi Shin — Elder sister. The two clash when Hi Shin acts rashly for the Senju Clan, but Itama remains concerned for her safety. 543 882
• Uchiha Eimi — Yin Seal instructor. Eimi teaches Itama the technique and recognizes her exceptional compatibility with it. 184
• Uchiha Hikari — Rival within Gin's household. Their first meeting develops into open mutual hostility and jealousy. 108 698
• Uchiha Chiri — Close friend and fellow Yin Seal student. 108 184
• Isobu — The Three-Tails, whom Itama affectionately calls “Turtle” and befriends after overpowering him. 259
