1 The end of GOD OF SHINOBI

Konoha

Year 5

Senju clan compound

A little girl with blonde hair is seen running through the sparse woods that surround the area, her forehead is dripping with sweat and her eyes have a look of determination, finding a thick tree to hide behind the little girl takes a moment to breathe, it seemed that she was running for a long time, looking back in the direction that she came from as if looking for someone she fails to notice a shadow creeping up from behind nearing her leg second by second, Just as she was about to resume her run, the shadow grew an arm and caught her leg from beneath essentially trapping her.

She screams in fright and jumps from her place like a terrified cat only to be engulfed in a hug by a man with black hair.

"Grandpa!" the girl whines as she seprates from the man

"You said that you won't catch me untill five minutes." Looking up at the elder man with her grey coloured eyes as if trying to make him submit

"And?" The elder man asks in a faux questioning tone clearly aiming to play with her.

"And you didn't it has only been four minutes and thirty seconds" The girl stomps her shoe on the ground in frustration.

The man's gaze softens as he says "Oh my dear little Tsunade, grandpa is tired now and is feeling a little out of breath, won't you let him rest?"

The girl named tsunade looks as if she realised something and turns somber nodding heavily she says "Yes grandpa you are an old man and need rest"

The man after hearing her say 'old man' looks as if someone had punched him in the gut and killed his dog, aura of depression around him, but the next second the whole aura vanishes as he starts to laugh loudly while extending the finger of his right hand for the girl to grab as he starts walking towards the house which could be seen a little far away, Tsunade catches up to him and holds his finger tightly in her hand as if encasing it permanently.

Senju Hashirama's end days were spent simmilarly playing with his granddaughter tsunade while sometimes even passing on some of his knowladge, although tsunade didn't stay still for long Hashirama had to admit her talent for absorbing knowladge was monstrous, He sometimes wonders that if he had more time to live maybe he could have personally taught her making her reach her full potential, but he knew that his end was near, he knew it since the day he returned from his battle with madara.

The battle was a ferocious one by the end of it he had overused the sage mode and even his mokuton could not save him, the natural energy was such a fickle thing. But Hashirama was content with passing on as he had achieved his goal of bringing peace to this world and he believed that Tobi would be a great second hokage and even make konoha reach new heights. His only regret was not being able to save his best friend from the clutches of hate, he didn't believe that uchiha were a clan of evil, on the other hand he believed them to be the most capable of loving.

His last day soon arrived, as he laid on his death bed beside him his family present, he felt happy that he had achieved something in his life, but the knack to something more was still ever-present.

"Tobi" He said in weak voice, Tobirama his brother leaned in to hear what he wanted to say, everyone else was also listening quietly hearing god of shinobi's last words

"Keep it safe" Hashirama said as he raised his hand for the last time and used his famous mokuton to create a little Wooden statue of a man wearing konoha's headband, it's shape was very simmilar to Madara.

Tobirama looked in disbelief as his brother used last of his power to create a memorial of konoha and madara together.

That day the people in that room saw Second hokage cry for first and only time and the ninja world lost The God Of Shinobi leading to a new era of war and fights to which new incarnations of Indra and Asura would be born to end.

What they didn't know was that the soul of Hasirama had travelled to somewhere else

Validating sayings of a great man: to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
