61 The End Of The Conflict

The Fujimoto looked at the impressive trees taking over the whole battlefield. They hoped that everything was going to be alright with Kentaro.

Those trees were like a boost to the Senju, they began fighting even more savagely. The Fujimoto lost the upper hand like this.

Habiki was badly hurt because of Tobirama's consecutive attacks, he was bleeding from his right arm pretty badly.

Tobirama was panting heavily. Tetsuo was an experienced fighter he gave the young Tobirama a pretty hard time.

But giving him a hard time didn't mean that Tetsuo was dominanting the battle, he was injured himself.

"Listen, I told you many times already, I do not wish to fight!" Tobirama was defending himself, but in no case did he want to kill them.

"I already heard that! You're clan has stabbed us in the back, making every one of you our enemies. My son is fighting with your brother with all his heart, we must help him by doing the same here."

Tobirama looked towards the enormous trees where loud commotion could be heard.

"That is what I try to explain for God's sake! We must stop Elder brother and Kentaro, if we don't the-"

"Shut up! If you really wanted them to stop you would have told your clansmen to stop fighting."

Habiki said this while walking besides Tetsuo, he was holding his bloody arm.

"Yes, he is right. If you ask your clansmen to stop fighting then I shall to the same." Tetsuo waited for Tobirama to act.

"I...I cannot do that. What tells me that you will do what you say?"

"Tsk, there is no trust between us! If so, then let's not waste any more time."

Tetsuo prepared his katana, he was ready to charge for twentieth time.

"Clan leader, can I borrow your hand for a second?" Tetsuo placed his left hand in Habiki's right hand.

Habiki began forming hand seals, he was unable to form them with his injured left arm.

'Earth style: Limbs Of Earth'

The earth around Habiki's feet slowly formed a stone arm above his shoulder, the stone arm was pretty big.

The two of them charged at Tobirama. Seeing the two of them come at him, Tobirama charged back.

Tobirama jumped high while kicking towards them. He managed to touch Habiki's face, but he completely missed Tetsuo.

Tetsuo dodged the kick by quickly jumping to the left. He swung with his blade down, aiming for Tobirama's leg.

Water got around his entire leg, protecting it from the blade. While still being in the air, Tobirama kicked on Tetsuo's neck with his right leg.

Tobirama landed back on the ground with his back. Habiki's stone arm slammed down with the intention of crushing Tobirama.

'Water style: Water Spear Jutsu!'

In front of Tobirama's face, a water spear formed and destroyed the incoming big stone hand.

The stone hand slowly reformed. meanwhile, Tobirama stood back up and launched a furry of punches at the half incapacitated Habiki.

Most of the punches landed on him, making him suffer. From behind, Tetsuo grabbed Tobirama from the neck and tried to shoke him.

Habiki swung his katana, he wanted to slice Tobirama's belly open.

Tobirama headbutted Tetsuo to make him loosen his grip, just as he did, he jumped high enough to avoid the blade.

The blade sliced through Tetsuo's armor and from above, Tobirama planted his kunai in Habiki's right eye.

"AAAAAHHHH!" holding the kunai with pain, Habiki slowly walked back.

He had lost all his focus and Tobirama cut Habiki's left arm down, blood was flowing out like the water of a river.

Tobirama was prepared to deal the killing blow, but he was stopped by Tetsuo's heavy punch.

Tobirama fell to the ground ten meters away, Tetsuo ran towards him with rage.

He had lost all rationality, he had promised his brother to take care of his two sons, but he had failed.

Tetsuo was disappointed in himself, he had let Habiki get gravely wounded.

A kunai flew past, he mated no heed to it, but this was the greatest mistake of his life.

Wind blew on his face and from nowhere, Tobirama had appeared beside him.

Tobirama sliced through Tetsuo's throat, making him fall to the ground.

The moment he had done it, Tobirama took a couple of steps back. He had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"This...this could have been avoided." he looked at the agonizing Tetsuo grabbing on his sliced throat and bleeding to death.

"BOOUUM!" a sound ressembling a blast resounded into everyone's ears.

From far away, between the thick and many trees, a figure could be seen approaching.

The figure came with a very great speed, all the Senju's that were in his way were burned to crisp.

Kentaro saw Tobirama with a bloody kunai. Next to him lyed a man with a big black moustache, his face was pale and without life.

Ten meters further, Kentaro saw the bleeding Habiki without his left arm.

Kentaro turned his head to look at Tobirama, he wanted to know for sure if he was the one who did this.

Seeing the wide and aggressive gaze of Kentaro, Tobirama quickly explained things.

"Kentaro.....things didn't have to turn like that... I... I killed your father, b..but I tried to talk with him and stop the battle."

Kentaro looked high in the sky.

"I am very disappointed, Tobirama. You killed my father....Today, you DIE."

Kentaro looked back at Tobirama and charged at him, they were a couple of seconds apart.

"STOP KENTARO!" Habiki shouted from the top of his lungs.

Kentaro stopped when he heard his cousin's voice, he looked back at him.

"Kentaro, we have battled enough! Look at my state, look at our brethren, Look at your father! Let's not cause more bloodshed."

Kentaro was reluctant to retreat, his blood was boiling everytime he saw his lifeless father.

He looked around and saw blood everywhere, the clansmen were exhausted and injured.

"Tsk...you are right Habiki. Retreat! Let's get out of here!" when every Fujimoto heard this, they were signs of relievness on their faces.

Kentaro squatted down and carried Tetsuo on his back, he turned to look back at Tobirama.

"I will never forget this day. One day, I will kill you myself, BROTHER."

"I'm sorry, Kentaro, I'm so...sorry." Kentaro heard his weak voice, but he didn't accept his apology.

"Your apologies will not suffice, only your blood will!"

The Fujimoto retreated from the battlefield. The Senju did nothing to stop them, they only looked at their slowly disappearing figures.

The Senju looked at all their dead brethren, they started to doubt the cause of their battle.

Hashirama came to them and was directly confronted to the furious Tobirama.

"ELDER BROTHER! Was it really worth it!? Because of your so-called stupid friendship, we have lost a precious ally! I have betrayed the trust of a man I really appreciated, it is all because of you!"

The whole place was silent, they all looked at Hashirama, waiting for his answer.

"I see. What has been done, has been done, we cannot return to the past. We will tell the news to the Feudal lord Jiro, that we have vanquished the Uchiha and their ally."

This was the end of the conflict.
