At 5 years old, while playing outside in the fields with his sister and brothers. The enemy assaulted the Senju Clan in the midst of their construction process. Unprepared for battle, the Senju were forced to withdraw temporarily but in doing so had to give up several Shinobi on the field of battle; while some women and children were abandoned. One of them was Isshin Senju, who saw the rest of his siblings barely escape thanks to the older two brothers. But Isshin was left behind. The young Senju had hoped to be saved. But when the Senju flags came up in the distance, those who captured were already on the retreat with the resources they had plundered. They weren't there for prolonged conflict, merely to reap and steal, and traveled a long distance back to the waters where their boats awaited them. The first time Isshin had ever seen ships. Ships which took him to Kirigakure as a captive of war. A potential ransom at best, and a somewhat useful slave at worst.

In between beatings and a lack of... well pretty much anything. Isshin grew up far more bitter than the cheerful youth he once was. They never ceased to remind him. " You are trapped on an island, surrounded by islands, surrounded by water, surrounded by enemy borders. There is nowhere for you to go.". To which he always replied with a quiet bow after having learned that anything else would earn him a beating or some other form of punishment. But it message he never accepted in his heart. Luckily, it did warrant him a certain degree of freedom. Since escape was next to impossible, Isshin was given close to the freedom which any kid had in terms of where he could and couldn't go.

When the Academy was first built, Isshin wasn't given a choice in joining or not. Although he was withheld from many classes so as not to learn any sensitive intel he still performed well. Even going so far as to create a Oil based technique by himself to create something akin to water; which he could then combine with his fire. His ability and affinity with Fire Chakra was something which he had already begun to harness before he was stolen and taken to Kirigakure. But it was in the Hidden Mist that Isshin began to foster and understand the power which flowed through his veins.

## Personality

Even with everything that life threw at him, Isshin remains hopeful even during the darkest of days. His candle ever burns with determination as he clings on to his vow to find a way home, somehow, someway.

However, due to the circumstances of him being captured for so long, Isshin has become socially withdrawn. He loved to make friends and smile before he was taken, but all of that changed with time as one after the other of his new 'friends' betrayed or used him.

Isshin is polite but distant regarding the inhabitants of Kirigakure. He is more open and willing to express his ideas when he's around prisoners and/or slaves and such; especially those who hail from the Land of Fire. But a key point in Isshin is that he trusts none of them.

## Appearance

\*See Picture\*

Isshin has a attentive posture and focused eyes which seem slightly too large for his head; though that may change with age. His ginger hair is of shoulder length and does little to hide his freckles. He is dressed in rags and a simple green cape covered in patches of filth and burnt marks.
