51 Back On Track

Habiki was looking at Kentaro and making sure that everything was okay. Last time, he had twitched like an epileptic and this made Habiki worry even more for Kentaro.

Suddenly, Kentaro's eyes opened, His eyes had a burning fire in it.

"Kentaro! You're alright?!"

Habiki stood up and went besides Kentaro, waiting for his response.

"I'm alright. There's no need to make a fuss about a little wound."

Kentaro stood up whilst in great pain. He had to immerse himself in his warrior's mentallity.

He walked slowly while gripping his chest. Every move he made gave him the impression that his wound had opened back.

Kentaro knew it, it was all in his brain. He had to endure it no matter what.

"Oy! Kentaro, you have to lay down and rest! It is your father's order."

"My father's order? It doesn't matter, I have to quickly join them on the battlefield."

Kentaro left the room and walked in the large stone corridors.

He went outside, everyone was looking at him with worry. They all asked the same questions.

"Kentaro, why are you walking? You must rest."

"Yes, he is right."

...

...

...

All the clansmen said the same thing, Kentaro was the heir of the clan after all. He was their future, what if he died?

"Don't worry for me by brethren! Now, let me pass before I GET mad!"

The clansmen didn't expect to hear this answer coming out of his mouth.

They all made way for Kentaro, he left the Fujimoto encampment.

He looked around him and spotted the Senju encampment just thirty meters south.

He walked slowly but sill managed to get there. The Senju knew him, they had participated together in battle.

"Kentaro, we are happy that you aren't dead hahaha."

Kentaro didn't give a shit about them being happy, he had come to make sure of something.

"Where is Tobirama?"

Kentaro said it in a cold voice. He looked patiently into the Senju's eyes.

"I can lead you to him, follow me."

Kentaro nodded and followed the Senju, when he looked around the encampment he noticed that there was an area where the ground had been removed and put back.

They surely were the dead, this was the reality of war he had always known.

They reached a wooden house and the guard left Kentaro in front of the door.

"KNOCK KNOCK!"

Kentaro didn't wait for an answer and entered the house. He saw Tobirama laying on his bed with bandages all over his chest.

"Kentaro, it's good to know that your not dead."

Hearing Tobirama talk calmed Kentaro's worries. He hadn't killed a second brother in arm like he killed Omoi.

Kentaro approached Tobirama and looked closely in his eyes.

"What are you doing, Tobirama?"

"Huuh, I'm resting becau-"

It was not the time to rest, it was the time to train.

"Get your ass up right now Tobirama! I'll kick your ass if you don't, we have to go train."

Tobirama looked into Kentaro's eyes. He could feel the change in him.

Tobirama grabbed Kentaro's arm and used it at as a support to stand up.

He placed his hand over Kentaro and began slowly walking.

"Your right, brother. It's no time to rest, it's time to train."

The two wounded brothers left the Senju encampment for the outskirts.

There Kentaro made pillars and earth shuriken.

"It's gonna get us back on track, we'll complete the shuriken training if we throw It a thousand times in the center."

Tobirama said no more and began throwing the earth shuriken's, they didn't pierce the center. This counted as a miss.

"Kentaro, give me some of your earth shuriken."

Kentaro calmly laughed and threw the earth shuriken to the center of the pillars.

"Make your own shuriken with your water style. I told you, we need to get back on track."

Tobirama created his own water shuriken and the duo began repeating this process.

"Pant... Pant... Damn, that shit is more complicated than expected!"

Tobirama's wounded body made it difficult for him to repeat the shuriken training.

"Yeah, but it feels good doesn't it! It is with suffering that one's get stronger. Hahaha... Cough... Cough."

Tobirama had an unbelievable expression.

"You sure have a big mouth Kentaro, look at you coughing like an old man."

Kentaro didn't answer and threw six shuriken at the same time in the center.

"Yeah, but at least, this old man can do this."

"Tsk, bastard!"

Tobirama tried to do the same and managed to do it. He looked at Kentaro with a prideful look.

Three hours later they had both throwed it in the center a thousand times.

"Finally, we are done. Let's go rest now."

Tobirama began walking back to the encampment.

"Where are you going, boy? It's time to run until we cough out blood. Come on, follow me!"

Kentaro began running and Tobirama followed suit.

They ran forty kilometers, when they came back they crumbled on the ground. Their wounds had opened again.

They returned to the Senju encampment while supporting each other.

"If we do this for thee days straight, we're gonna be back on track! You hear me Tobirama, Hahaha."

"If we do this for three days straight, we're gonna DIE on track! Brother, we are in this together."

Kentaro was happy to have found himself a brother, a true one.

The Senju noticed the two familiar figures approaching.

"They are fucking crazy! Call the medical shinobi's right now, their wounds have opened again!"

The medics came as quickly as possible, They took care of the two of them.

Later that day Tobirama got grounded by Hashirama and Kentaro got grounded by Tetsuo.

They did this for three days straight. They were now sure of it.

They were prepared to make their return on the battlefields.

The Uchiha would soon witness the legendary tag team in action again.
