Nintai( 忍耐 , Nintai )was the Asura’s current reincation and Konohagakure's( 十 火影,Juu  Hokage ;Literally meaning "Tenth Fire Shadow"). He was famous in life as the Unrivaled Smart Shinobi( 無類の 忍び, Murui no Shinobi) for his unmatched ninja prowess and founding of the Eighteen levels of shape tranformation.

Nintai was the student of the 9th Hokage Kuro Hatake along with his long time partner Uzmi Uchiha. In childhood Nintai was the first shinobi to ever become an anbu at the age of 8 without any skill in nature transformation. In his teen years he would become the Jounin Commander of Konoha, during this time he founded the Eighteen Levels of Shape Transformation building off the fourth’s research. Some after time during the 6th Shinobi World War against Sunagakure and Kumogakure, Nintai studied and mastered senjutsu becoming an sage. After the death of the 9th he was appointed the 10th hokageon the bounds of his fame and connection to the former hokage. During his rain as hokage he saught to provent a 7th Shinobi World War be calling forth an Kage Summit meeting and offering Kumoagakure, Kurama’s Jinchuriki Kenji. The peace that was created only lasted untill Kumo lost its control over the eight tails and Uzmi Uchiha who was the head of anbu for konoha sought to capture it to make up for what he thought was a bad decision on Nintai’s part. After the 7th Shinobi Word War was started conflict between Nintai and the 8th Raikage rose into a battle that would end in the destruction of the eight tails and death of the 9th hokage,Uzmi would contribute to the fuel by destroying the entire Kumogakure. Eventually another five kage summit would be held and the other nations no longer considered the land of lightning a great nation with their kage dead and all the shinobi either weakened or killed. Even Though the previous actions caused Konoha to be respected and feared even more Nintai disagreed with Uzmi’s methods which would lead to a battle between the two ending with Nintai’s Victory. Nintai would later be forced to face off with an Rinnegan powered Uzmi and Ten Tails Jinchuriki Kenji. Nintai would help provent the two from achieveing their goal of world domination under Uzmi’s rule but would die in the process.

He saw the people of not just Konoha but the entire shinobi world as a part of his own family, and his legacy took a firm root in the World. He was also shown to be a very wise and insightful man, as he passed on great teachings to Zumi Uchiha.He believed in the will of fire as he was willing to put his life on the line for his village to set an example for all others.

<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Abilities
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Nintai is reputed as the most unrivaled shinobi of his era, greatly respected by the shinobi world.” His prowess was such that Zumi Uchiha claimed that he was on pair with the likes of First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Sixth Hokage Naruto Uzumaki. Even Uzmi Uchiha openly admitted his inferiority to the <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hokage<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">, <span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">[101 ]<span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">[102 ]<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">something that dated even back to their childhood and was happy to know his son would be under Nintai’s teaching. <span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">A testament to his power was that he was able to defeat Uzumi after he had achieved the Rinnegan for a second time.With his overwhelming power, was able to subdue the other Kage and openly gave away power like Kurama to other villages with the ideal he made konoha the strongest village just being in it. When Nintai was in 7th Shinobi World War, he again clashed with Uzmi and other kage level shinobi. Despite their legendary status Nintai was still able to fight on par against them and defeat them in the long run; while holding back his full power, however, he needed <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);white-space:pre-wrap;">aid<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);white-space:pre-wrap;">to<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;"> defeat Uzmi and Kenji once they gained greater powers.

<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Chakra
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Even within the Senju clan, Nintai possessed an especially strong life force and physical energy that exceeded Naruto and Hashirama. Part of this potent nature stemmed from inheriting <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);white-space:pre-wrap;">Asura<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">'s chakra and his kekkei genkai allowing him to absorb chakra unlimitless from other shinobi and getting natural energy from around him like jugo’s clan. <span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Seemingly stemming from this, Nintai also had considerable <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);white-space:pre-wrap;">regenerative powers<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">, able to quickly mend most injuries to his being with no residual affects, an ability to which Hashirama’s ability has been compared by Konoha’s Council. His stamina was also noteworthy, able to fight Uzmi and Kenji for eight days non-stop until only he was left standing between the three.

<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Shape Transformation
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">Nintai was arguably most famous for his unique Shape Transformation techniques, as he used shape transformation to sub for nature transformation. Using Yang Release with the 18 levels of shape tranformation he could create great sized techinques and manipulate them to diverse shapes and battle uses at will and in an instant, he could shape the entire battlefield for his own uses. Even those who used this power through their own means, such as his student Zumi Uchiha and Minato Namikaze, have stated that their use of Shape Transformation was much weaker in terms of raw power. In the anime, Nintai was shown to be able to form techniques without hand seals.

<span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sensory Perception
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center;"> Nintai was also a very gifted <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">sensor ninja since childhood. By simply touching the ground with his finger, he could detect the presence and number of enemy shinobi. He was even able to <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">detect Kenji 's chakra on a battlefield far away, despite being in a different country. His sensory skills were so refined and accurate that he could distinguish between different chakra signatures by clan much like Second and Fourth Hokages. He could use his abilities, along with his tracking skills, in order to follow a target undetected and  likewise still sense the chakra of others, even when his ability to mould chakra is impaired.

<span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Physical Prowess
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-right:15pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Hailed as the fastest known shinobi of his era, <span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Nintai's trademark attributes were his immense speed and Unrivaled physical strength. His renowned speed was often compared to the fastest shinobis in history, such as Minato Namikaze or 10th Mizukage, with the former admitting that, even with his ultimate body flicker teachinque enhancing his already formidable speed and reflexes, he was still outmatched by Nintai. His  immense raw strength was compared to Sakura Haruno or Tsunade, with which he was able to crush mountains  with a single hand. An opponent struck by his attacks could suffer damage as broken bones or death.

<span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Senjutsu
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Nintai's chakra reserves were immense; great enough that he could train in the art of <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">senjutsu<span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;"> and master its highest level: <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sage Mode<span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">, a feat he could perform near instantaneously. In this mode, he gains three blue diamonds (black in the anime) markings in the middle of his forehead.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sage Mode greatly increased the strength and scale of Nintai's techniques. A testament to this, was the asumption he was the revived Naruto Uzumaki or Sage of Six Paths when he used the power to face off against Uzmi Uchiha and Kenji.

<span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Intelligence
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.6227272207086707;margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Hiruzen showed a keen and perceptive mind in battle. Even while pressured by multiple opponents, he could quickly access the situation and use the proper counter-measure for it

<span style="font-size:10px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(51,51,51);vertical-align:super;white-space:pre-wrap;">Other Skills
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">During his lifetime Nintai had accumulated a vast knowledge of skills. Nintai had a mastery of all forms of shinobi combat, his own personal arsenal of original and ingenious techniques, as well as having mastered thousands of techniques in general.Likewise, he is reputed, like the Third Hokage, for having advanced knowledge and skill in all techniques to ever exist within Konoha. According to Uzmi Uchiha, his fighting style was on an entirely different level than what is seen in normal battle.His knowledge could even immediately discern which technique a person intends to use after observing the <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(6,69,173);white-space:pre-wrap;">hand seals<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;"> or movements they make. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Meiryo;color:rgb(51,51,51);white-space:pre-wrap;">
