I’m the Last Senju — and the Hokage Wants Me Dead!
Also known as: "I, the Last Senju, Will Tear Down the Leaf From Within!",
"They Tried to Erase the Senju Name, But I’m Still Here!",
"They Tried to Assassinate Me, But I Ended Up in Tsunade’s Tent Instead...",
"Tsunade Said She’d Train Me… Not Keep Me in Her Bed..."
"Hiruzen, Retire Gracefully — Orochimaru Got My Vote for The Hokage!"
Around half a year before the Third Great Ninja War, my first B-rank mission was supposed to be a simple warm-up. Instead, a ROOT Yamanaka tried to scramble my brain so some enemy could “accidentally” kill me.
Why? Because I’m the last pure-blooded heir of the Senju revivalist faction — the same one Hiruzen and Danzo quietly wiped out during the last war. Oh, and Nawaki? Yeah, he was on their hit list too.
My father? Assassinated after secretly collecting proof of their crimes.
My mother? Left me that proof… and a decent inheritance… right before she passed away too.
Me? I was supposed to die young and quietly. Guess again.
Now I’m stuck on a Genin team with one Hatake and one Hyuga, both with their own shady ambitions, under a Jonin sensei who’s basically Hiruzen’s pet ANBU. My job? Survive their “missions.” Their job? Make sure I don’t survive too long.
If that’s the best leadership Konoha can offer, then fine — I’ll help Orochimaru, my ideological and research sparring partner and part-time mentor, take the old man’s hat — sooner or later.
Somehow, along the way, I end up under Tsunade’s training — which is great for power, terrible for my ribs — and we may or may not be developing “complicated” feelings.
And that’s just the start. While Konoha plays politics, I’ll be rebuilding my skills from the ground up — turning a weakened Genin into someone they can’t touch, let alone kill.
Add in a couple of other very persuasive kunoichi from powerful clans, and suddenly my life is part survival thriller, part political chess match, part… well, let’s just call it “Senju romance diplomacy.”
War is coming. The Hokage wants me gone. But I’ve got revenge to plan, strength and power to gain, allies to charm, enemies to outlive, a clan to "repopulate", and a very bad habit of not dying when I’m supposed to.

Warnings:
* A pretty amoral, survival-obsessed, power-hungry MC. Transmigrated. There’s a harem beyond Tsunade - two key members are OCs from Konoha’s other two major clans, written with real influence on the plot. More may join later… maybe even from other great villages. Check the tags before diving in. This is NOT a translation!
* Some sentences get a light polish from AI to keep the flow sharp, but all the ideas and main writing are mine.
* Also, no “system,” no stat screens, no cheat menus - just pure Naruto-world plotting and power growth.
* This isn’t canon. The plot will steer off hard thanks to the Butterfly Effect. The timeline is set around the Third Great Ninja War.
* Timeline fanatics beware: canon’s character ages are already inconsistent, so don’t expect a “perfect” chronology here.
* Expect a more fleshed-out, logical, and realistically dark take on the Naruto world, with heavy political depth. High-quality English and writing and deliberate worldbuilding throughout.
