Shattering Crown [w/ashatteredcrown]
Tobirama gave a  low hum, briefly closing his eyes.
It had failed once more. Rising from his kneeling position, he looked with narrowed eyes at the ashen form, which soon crumbled into dust. The screams had died long ago, and too early, but something had been triggered. Aubrun-red eyes looked to the ground as his hand swept the parchment from the ground, unrolling it.
He would have to try different seals. Once again. He had failed, but he knew this could be done. The unbeatable, obedient soldier would soon be created. He only needed more foolish shinobi from the other lands to cross their borders. They would not escape him, and they made perfect fodder for his experiments of Edo Tensei.
A faint shudder crept through his spine, signaling the sun rising. It was time for him to go once more, leave his studies and researches until the next chance. A deep frown crossed his features, however, as he secured his geta to his feet. There was a presence nearby that was odd for the hour. To sensory shinobi, it made no sense to hide from one another, so he decided to go about his routine in the same way, claiming a rolled tamagoyaki from one of the shops on his way to the main office. He would always check in at least once every day to track his brother, the village.... and Madara.
