9 The end of a war. Tobirama vs the Gold and Silver Forces

Meanwhile in the forests of Yugakure,

"We're surrounded. There is twenty of them"

"Sensei but there are only 7 of us"

"One of us will have to lure them away"

"A decoy huh? Whoever it is, they won't survive."

But right then,

"I'll do it, I'll be the decoy"

Everyone was shocked at the announcement from the man who had a scar shaped mark on his chin.

Hiruzen felt something was amiss, as if something important was about to be snatched from right under his nose.

"Danzo, you don't have to. I am the best among the all of us. I'll be the decoy and will be able to stay alive."

"Hiruzen, don't act as if you are so great. Self-sacrifice is a ninja's duty. I'll be the decoy."

"Stop squabbling. This is not the place to bring your personal issues into."

And then came an announcement from Tobirama that shocked all present,

"I'll be the decoy. You are the bright young flames who must protect the village."

"At any rate Danzo… Saru… there is no need to be hasty at your age. One day the time will come. Just stay… alive until then."

But even though one domino was knocked it wasn't strong enough to knock the next.

"Saru… you must protect those who have faith in you and who love the village, and train those to whom you can entrust the next generation…"

"Tomorrow you will be… Hokage."

After all it was a canon event.

(A/N: I just couldn't bear to make Dazo the Hokage, don't want to see a mind controlled Kushina. Even the thought of doing that made me barf.)

'Dammit Hiruzen… you are always one step ahead of me'

Hiruzen, no the third Hokage felt some relief though even he couldn't explain why.

And with that the second Hokage set the stage for what is probably the darkest chapter in the history of Konoha as he ran towards his inevitable death.

--------

Tobirama surveyed the battlefield, his eyes sweeping over the gruesome sight before him. The ground, strewn with the mangled corpses of his enemies, was a terrifying web of death and destruction. Yet, amidst the carnage stood five figures their forms untouched and their eyes filled with blood lust.

"My my Hokage-san, who thought that there would be a day where the great Tobirama Senju would be panting like a dog in front of some lowly Kumo ninja"

"Gyahahaha, how futile. Did you think you'd escape after killing all of us. Seems like age has caught up to you, Tobirama Senju, you relic of the past."

Yet in the face of the taunts from his enemies he stood proud and stoic calculating his next moves. Though in stark contrast to his enemies, Tobirama was a sight to behold. Having fought off 15 of Kumo's most elite shinobi his once pristine armour lay torn asunder having endured the vicious onslaught of blades, katanas, maces and jutsus.

He was a living testament to the brutality of war, a warrior pushed to the brink of death yet refusing to yield. With every step he took, he defied the odds, refusing to succumb to the inevitable.

For Tobirama Senju was not just a warrior; he was a force of nature, a tempest of steel and fury that would not be extinguished so easily. And as he faced down his remaining foes, he knew that no matter the cost, he would fight until his last breath, for that was the essence of who he was—a shinobi forged in the crucible of battle, unyielding in the face of adversity.

'Raiton: Bakurai' (Lightning Release: Depth Charge)

A power bolt of electricity whizzed through the air right at Tobirama and exploded creating a massive hole and scarring the land around.

Tobirama had applied his Flying Raijin Seal on everybody present as they battled. Since it was not a fully developed ninjutsu he only used it when desperate as it consumed at least one tenth of his reserves at once.

He teleported behind the lady that was holding a mace and swung his kunai at her neck only to be stopped by katana with lighting chakra from the man that was standing right next to her.

But the attack didn't end there and Tobirama's clone exploded obscuring everyone's vision. His main body going for the male shinobi who jumped out of the smoke his clone had created and swung his katana.

But to his surprise the enemies had already expected that and a tanto appeared right under him aiming for his heart, he twisted his body in mid air not having much space to dodge and with the tanto ripping through his hand slicing through his palms right up to his shoulders.

The smoke cleared as the female shinobi used a wind style to blow the smoke away.

Tobirama was left with his right hand dangling in two part as massive quantities of blood just kept flowing out.

One head and a half a body fell with a thud as the dust settled – One dying to his katana and the other, the one that attacked him with a tanto, dying to his shadow clone that responded quickly with a 'Water Style: Water Severing Wave'.

But his real goal was not to kill the two shinobi. Along with the head he sliced off, he had severed his foot that contained a special paper tag. One that he had made using help from the Uzumaki's.

"That explosion style fool from Iwa was right 20 years ago…"

"Art truly is an explosion"

*Boom*

The mutually multiplying explosive tags detonated mercilessly destroying the entire region where the 3 remaining shinobi stood. Decimating the entire area along with them.

Alas, one had survived.

Yes survived, after losing the bottom half of his body only to hear his last words as Tobirama coldly said, "never underestimate a Senju even if he is dying."

And finally it was over he had cauterised his wounds and had to rest for a little while for his chakra to recover.

Then he could finally go back to his village and watch his future generations grow. Though he couldn't continue being a ninja he could train the next generation.

"That would be nice. A life away from war. Helping the buds of Konoha bloom into beautiful flowers."

'Bashosen: Coil of Water'

A thick stream of high-pressure water slammed into Tobirama crushing his torso in the process, any hope of surviving – completely lost.

"Look at this Kinkaku, the old man Raikage was such a pain in the ass."

"Yeah Ginkaku, but after that hard fought battle we deserve an easy kill at least once. Though it is a shame the others had to die."

Tobirama who had been knocked away was holding onto his last bit of consciousness trying to understand what had just happened.

Without a care in the world to two brothers jumped towards Tobirama's mangled corpse toying with it like a broken doll. They came to collect the spoils of war, the corpse of one the Senju, the greatest water style user and one of a former Hokage. Definitely a body with secrets.

Though they did not realise one thing. Tobirama was prepared for such a situation.

'Reverse Four Symbols Seal' (This is the same thing Danzo tried to use on Tobi and Sasuke)

The brothers had a futile attempt at trying to dodge it, only to have their bodies cut. Only ginkaku's scalp remained and kinkaku's -dick- leg.

(Imagine a strike through the d word)

It ended that day with the deaths of many legendary shinobi, the second raikage, the second hokage, the gold and silver brothers, Ohnoki's son, Ao's father Ai among many others. But it was also the day one of the greatest Raikage's to ever live was born and also a chapter that marked a great change in the history of the Uzumaki, but also a trigger for one of the biggest storms to ever strike the ninja world.
