Chapter 5: The Awakening of Power
Kurozan stood at the edge of a ruined battlefield, the scent of blood and burning earth thick in the air. His latest experiment had been a success—another village reduced to nothing, its shinobi transformed into mindless Titans, their chakra fused with the monstrous forms he had gifted them.
He clenched his fist, feeling the raw Titan Chakra surge through his veins. His power was evolving. The more he transformed shinobi into Titans, the stronger his army became. But this was only the beginning.
He needed more.
He needed to rule.

A New Evolution
Deep within a hidden fortress, Kurozan's most loyal followers—his Titanborn Generals—stood before him. These were not ordinary warriors. Each had been personally transformed by Kurozan, their chakra molded into something beyond human limits.
Raiga, the Lightning Titan, a former missing-nin with the ability to unleash devastating storms.
Karoku, the Blood Titan, who could drain the life force of his enemies to regenerate.
Naga, the Illusion Titan, who fused Genjutsu with Titan energy, warping reality itself.
They knelt before Kurozan, awaiting his command.
"Our power is growing," Kurozan said, his golden eyes gleaming. "But the shinobi world still stands against us. The Five Kage will gather soon… and we must be ready."
His words sent a ripple of tension through the room.
Raiga stepped forward. "Then we should strike first. Wipe them out before they unite."
Kurozan smirked. "No… not yet. There is one more power I must claim first."
The room fell silent.
And then, Kurozan spoke a name.
"Tsunade."
His generals exchanged glances, uncertain.
Karoku frowned. "The Hokage?"
Kurozan nodded. "She is the last Senju… the heir to Hashirama's bloodline. If I can turn her, if I can make her see the truth… she will become my queen."
Naga chuckled darkly. "And if she refuses?"
Kurozan's smirk grew wider.
"She won't."
Because he had something that would shatter her faith in Konoha forever.

The Secret of the Senju
Far from Kurozan's domain, deep within the shadows of an abandoned underground base, a lone figure moved swiftly. This man was no ordinary rogue.
He was a former member of Root.
Hidden beneath a tattered cloak, his scarred face twisted with old hatred. He had once served Danzo. He had once obeyed Konoha's dark commands. But now, he had seen the truth.
And he knew something that could destroy Tsunade's loyalty to Konoha forever.
A truth buried in the forbidden experiments of Hashirama's cells.
A truth about the Senju clan's downfall.
A truth that would make even Naruto powerless to bring Tsunade back.
And he was taking this secret… straight to Kurozan.
