Main World.
Autumn, Year 24 of Konoha.
Konoha, the Toyotomi Clan Grounds.
The open space outside the Martial Arts Hall was packed with people. They were not members of the Toyotomi Clan, but villagers from Konoha. They had heard-a child of the Toyotomi Clan had awakened Wood Release. Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, the God of Shinobi's Wood Release. The news seemed to sprout wings, flying to every corner of Konoha. In teahouses, beside wells, and on training grounds, everyone was talking about it.
"Have you heard? A kid from the Toyotomi Clan can use Wood Release!"
"Wood Release? Isn't that the First Hokage's Kekkei Genkai?"
"Yes! That very Wood Release! I heard the kid's only two, and he can already make trees dance!"
"Two? He can use Wood Release at two? That's... that's just too..."
"Exactly! We haven't seen Wood Release in so long, not since the Senju Clan integrated into Konoha. Who would have thought we'd see it in the Toyotomi Clan?"
"The Toyotomi Clan... didn't they split off from the Uchiha? How do they have Wood Release?"
"That's what you don't know. Toyotomi Yinglang married Senju Tsubaki. Senju Tsubaki comes from a branch of the Senju Clan. That kid is her son. With Senju blood, of course he could awaken Wood Release."
"So that's it... doesn't that mean the Toyotomi Clan has both the Sharingan and Wood Release?"
"Yes. Sharingan plus Wood Release. What kind of monster clan is this?"
"Shh... keep your voice down. The Toyotomi Clan rules the Country of Roran now. We can't afford to offend them."
"I know, I know. I'm just marveling at it."
Outside the Martial Arts Hall.
Toyotomi Jinsyokuin stood in the open space, his two-year-old frame tiny, his emerald-green hair gleaming softly in the sunlight as his golden eyes
