"To keep Silent is to Die a little"

@sarcasm-muses​

“I’m not scared, Tobirama-sama. I won’t want to run away.” From faltering in the water, to a touch of young born arrogance. The child assumes themself able to compete with his training even before the man has detailed what exactly they are to be doing in these sessions. Having graduated at the early age of six, perhaps the young serpents confidence in their learning ability exceeds their experience by a mile. All the same - would the Senju not be more disappointed in them if they coward away? “I can handle it. I promise, even if Tsunade-hime can’t.” And they take one step further, to boldly assume the young heir is not being granted this training due to her not being on their level. That Jiraiya and Tsunade both have not earned the stripes needed to be given this challenge. That for some or other reason, they have earned it when their team mates had not. For how many times had they hidden behind Tsunade? Had Jiraiya pulled them to their feet after dazing falls? Too many to count. Yet naivety strikes once more. “Can I begin today?”

Tobirama trusts his student, yes, but, it doesn't mean he would do it blindly. This kid will be his last student, and by the time he is done with him, perhaps Orochimaru can be the next protector from the shadow, like Tobirama once was when Hashirama was the Hokage.

Konoha is their legacy, and anyone that wish to harm Konoha is his enemy.

- No, not today.

He places a hand on Orochimaru's hair and strokes it gentle.

- Just light training today, I will take you to our training ground tomorrow.

- I don’t know if you understand what you gonna yourself into.

No, he would never underestimate her, however, it is not hard to see that he isn’t the same like others. When children are busy learning how to use kunai and shuriken properly, Tobirama has already mastered it and started to manipulate his elements. Young face, old mind, thus, he couldn’t truly get along with them. When they finally mature, the white-hair Senju is too tired to put up with them, old soul and old mind. Nothing seem to interested enough in his view, people couldn’t understand him nor have the same set like him, and to merge in, it sounds impossible, not that he wishes to do that.

Curious killed the cat, that’s what they said, but without it, you wouldn’t able to success.

- Anija is sweet and kind.

Eventhough he is a little too stubborn, he wishes for peace and if someone going to harm the peace he created, no matter friends or family, nothing will stand in his way.

- He is wise and knows how to make them drop their guard around him.

If Hashirama wasn’t, Madara wouldn’t get caught in their friendship that easy.

- However, I aren’t here to tell you to marry him.

He respects his brother, and well, this woman as well. Gold help who disrespected the Princess…

- It is about you and I, about us. I’m not like what others may think.

Coldhearted, hard to get close, unable to work with nor understand. Some may say Tobirama is just too lazy to create something between him and others, he would get along well with Nara’s deer, perhaps. However, as he said, it is quite a big move she made.

Mito is glad that Tobirama doesn’t wish to force her to marry his elder brother. Neither of them really saw eachother romantically and they knew that eventually they’d be forced to have children which would have gone poorly. She removed her hand from his and sat back to pick up her tea. While he spoke, she listened and sipped her tea. Once he finished, she placed her cup down again then clasped her hands in her lap. 

- Perhaps he did try to make me into a weapon.

Or secret weapon, been there done that, not truly a thing anymore.

- However, I hold no interest in this world. Everyone doesn't seem to catch up with my mind. The thing I wonder about, they can't understand.

His curiosity is what pushing him so far, the thing that make him trying over again, creating jutsu even if it sounds so forbidden. He doesn't want to end it just here, he wishes to break his limit, to do what they think is impossible. It isn't about them, it is about his desires, his curiosity...

- You may regret it in future, Mito.

For a moment, the Senju doesn’t to move or say anything, his mind seem to stop and his face goes blank. Indeed he hears it, the thing she said, but it doesn’t mean he can show anything at this moment. Every whispers, it always sounds the same, how this is such a waste of time when they can just engaged Hashirama and Mito right away. The perfect next Clan head, kind and full of love, with her - the Princess of Uzushiogakure, only a fool would think differently.

Love won’t save them nor help them win this war against the Uchiha. Not to mention, she is exactly what Hashirama wants. Butsuma knows it, and the only thing that make him agreed with the Uzumaki’s request is because he wishes for more time to strengthen the two clan’s relationship.

Tobirama is his son, but before that, he is Butsuma’s warrior and weapon.

- I see.

Finally, he answers her, red orbs seem so calm yet only god know what is inside his mind. Feeling? He doesn’t understand those, nor recognize them probably. No one teach him how, Butsuma wouldn’t, Mother is dead and Hashirama… Hashirama too busy with his plan to save this world. Tobirama is left alone with his younger brothers - his light, and when they are gone, the only thing left is this burning pain…

Carefully reaching over, Mito placed her hand over his. She could see in his eyes the inner turmoil he was experiencing over the choice she had made. She knew what everyone wanted and what everyone believed would be the right choice for their clans but unfortunately for them, Mito refuses to abide by their demands. She wasn’t something to be controlled and she wouldn’t let these people sink their fangs into her to make that choice for her. Butsuma Senju was not a nice man and Mito had the displeasure of meeting him once before which left her wondering how he managed to produce Hashirama of all people. She could see the influence Butsuma had on Tobirama, the lack of emotional capacity being one of the unfortunate side-effects of it. Despite all his obvious flaws, Mito knew that she loved him deeply.

No, he would never underestimate her, however, it is not hard to see that he isn't the same like others. When children are busy learning how to use kunai and shuriken properly, Tobirama has already mastered it and started to manipulate his elements. Young face, old mind, thus, he couldn't truly get along with them. When they finally mature, the white-hair Senju is too tired to put up with them, old soul and old mind. Nothing seem to interested enough in his view, people couldn't understand him nor have the same set like him, and to merge in, it sounds impossible, not that he wishes to do that.

Curious killed the cat, that's what they said, but without it, you wouldn't able to success.

- Anija is sweet and kind.

Eventhough he is a little too stubborn, he wishes for peace and if someone going to harm the peace he created, no matter friends or family, nothing will stand in his way.

- However, I aren't here to tell you to marry him.

- It is about you and I, about us. I'm not like what others may think.

Have you ever wonder just how many possibility the future may bear? Have you ever wonder how much things can change just because of one mere action? The one who suppose to be with the future Clan head - her fate isn't just with him, just like how the man decide to challenge destiny and run after what he truly want. Some may think they have found out the truth, some may believe that the history is what it written, however, nothing is set in stone, and now you see it.

Once again, Hashirama has run away to somewhere, perhaps far away from his duty and the battle field, and as usual, it always Tobirama who is left to be in charge. No, not of the village but of their guest. Amazing red hair - something he can say that it will be quiet smooth the moment you tangle your fingers with it, fascinating knowledge - not just Fuinjust but more than just that, he would say she is rather wise for someone at her age, but then again, what can he expect from the Princess of Uzumaki Clan?

Gazes over ther woman next to him with these sharp and almost emotionless red orbs, sometimes, he wonders why she agrees to such plan with Hashirama when they all know she doesn't need to put up with such act. Honestly, they all thought she is going to choose Hashirama for sure, because it is his brother who she always leave with, but if only they know, it is Tobirama who shows her the landscape and it also him who tell her about all these myth stories...

- The time is close.

Love won't save them nor help them win this war against the Uchiha. Not to mention, she is exactly what Hashirama wants. Butsuma knows it, and the only thing that make him agreed with the Uzumaki's request is because he wishes for more time to strengthen the two clan's relationship.

Tobirama is his son, but before that, he is Butsuma's warrior and weapon.

- I see.

@sarcasm-muses​ The offer of being taught by the Senju in such a manner certainly lifts the childs spirits. Golden eyes sharp and bright as they meet the mans crimson gaze. They hadn’t known there was special training within the clan. Had never considered that they themself would be let in to this little secret world by one of the greatest Senju alive - one of the greatest Senju who would perhaps ever live. It certainly has their interest, even before he has explained what this training would consist of. “Really?” they question, as if it was too hard to quite believe on first inspection. As if there should be some catch, some twist. Something to make it seem less exciting than it sounded. Their comrade Tsunade was a Senju, they wonder if she had ever gone through similar training. They wonder if they will be the first from this generation to enter the territory of old lessons and ancient teachings. They won’t get too hopeful, or so they try and remind themself. However excitement is steadily building up.

“Can we start training today?”

- You can't run once you have enter it, little snake.

It won't be the same like how Butsuma treats them and the child in the clan, Tobirama has his own way and he knows exactly how much one can take before they collapse from training, he isn't a sensor for nothing. Gazes down at the child, this one - Tobirama has a feeling that they would try do anything just to be recognize and prove themselves, as if they are lost after losing everything.

- It isn't the same like what Mito-san has been teaching little Hime.

@sarcasm-muses​ “It would be possible for us to have missed one another, you know,” they reply, golden eyes narrowing a touch. His abandonment had been sudden, had been a deathly quiet. And perhaps they should not have been too surprised. That if he saw the need to leave, he would. Without a moments thought of how the serpent may feel in such an unfinished parting. And although they know that he will put his ambitions first, and they too can relate. They also know that had he asked, they would have come with him, that he could at least honor them with a goodbye. They watch as his hand extends towards them, ever cautious. For they are not feeling compliant in this moment, and they are not sure where his patience lies with their stubbornness. Curious as to why he has returned, but ever more curious for why he had left in the first place.  “I’m not going anywhere. Not until you explain what happened.”

As if confirmation of their own stubbornness, and defiance, slender arms fold over their chest. Golden eyes sharp and vigilant.  “I want to know why you left. Why you felt the need to go and tend to such a task alone. You were the king here, but leaving your throne vacant for so long… I’m afraid it’s not so easily taken back.”

- You want to know the truth?

The Nidaime asks, lips curl toward as if to show just how amusement he is at this moment. Still, perhaps he understands how the Serpent feel, quite strange he would say, after all, he doesn't think an Edo like him capable of such thing.

- It has been a long trip.

He begins, and yes, long enough for his little Serpent to feel this way. Lonely? Or perhaps the feeling of being abandoned is what drive him mad? He wouldn't know for sure, still, Tobirama continues with his way, hand reaches out, fingers caress their face, down to their lips, and he strokes on it with his thumb.

- To be past.

Red eyes flicks up, gazes into those golden orbs, would that catch their attention?

- By accident.

Well, he has always been into Space and Time, he just wish to test his theory and yet, he goes back in the past, still an Edo, and watch most of event in that brat's life, Naruto, he remembers the boy's name.

- Very interested, I would bring you if I can, however, you already exist there.
