**"When Konoha's foundations are drenched in blood, I will gnaw at this hypocritical forest in the name of the Senju."**
As the last surviving heir of the Senju, **Senju Xuan** was once the kindest doctor at Konoha Hospital.
Until the rainy night his grandfather was vivisected, and the "Life-Eating Tree" he awakened pierced his enemy's throat
**Devour flesh and blood. Seize bloodline abilities.**
Every theft makes him stronger, but also brings him closer to becoming a monster:
His insect-transformed left eye glimpses the dead, icy bone spikes tear through flesh, and wood grain spreading across his skin devours his humanity...
In the shadows of Konoha's leadership, the "Will of the Root," parasitic within Hashirama's cells, whispers to him:
"The Senju's glory must be cleansed through the extermination of bloodline abilities."
The "Bone Cult," founded for revenge, shelters bloodline wielders abandoned by the world;
The fangs he bares to survive trap him in a deadly clash between Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces;
When Itachi Uchiha points his blade at his rotting heart, Senju Xuan laughs wildly beneath the crimson moonlight:
"Come on! Let's see whether the black flames of your Amaterasu burn hotter, "
"Or whether the End Tree inside me, which feeds on countless bloodline abilities... hungers more for the flames!"
- After devouring Orochimaru's cursed-seal blood, he hears Kaguya's wail at the source of chakra...
- When the "Will of the Root" controls his body and makes him slaughter his fellow cultists, the remnant of his kind soul screams inside his mind...
