Red and Blue: A Colored Mess (Reader X Tobirama Senju)

The Cliff

The summer breeze threw the leaves around as the friends walked through the forest. The three oldest boys were ahead of the group, thirteen and fourteen years old, cocky and arrogant. The thirteen and twelve-year-olds, also three boys, trailed behind as they shoved one another. The lone girl, eleven, ran to catch up with the males. They were headed to the cliff to throw rocks into the river below, the girl trailing after them.

"Come on, kid!" Izuna turned to call back to her, "You're going to get lost." He laughed as she stumbled while giving him the middle finger.

Madara clicked his tongue, "You shouldn't have even told her we were leaving," his annoyed gaze fell on his younger brother before looking back to his sister.

Hashirama and Hiashi shook their heads at Madara's annoyance. He was just like his father when it came to the young girl. Hizashi looked back at the girl, concerned that she would get lost. His lavender eyes went wide as he saw the final male jogging back to the girl. Y/n was about ten yards back, Tobirama rushing to make sure she didn't fall even further behind.

Tobirama fell into step with her as she ran, "Why does he have to be so mean?" She was so angry that she was about to cry. "I never get to go anywhere with him."

"Fuck him," Tobirama huffed as Y/n slowed to a walk, laughing boisterously. The white-haired teenager smirked as he watched her face shift from anger to happiness.

He never knew what it was about her, but he always wanted to protect her. Madara was an ass to her- no matter how old she was. The Hyugas treated her kindly, but they didn't seem to care about her well-being. Hashirama was a pushover, but he kept his distance from Y/n, not wanting to piss off Madara. Izuna was her protector most of the time, though he still kept a distance from her because of his father.

Y/n cut her eyes over, "If you hate him so much," she looked ahead again, "why do you even hang out with our family?"

Tobirama shoved his hands in the pockets of his shorts, "Hashirama always drags me along," he snorted, "Tells me that I need to be social."

A happy giggle left Y/n, making Madara glance back again. A frown formed on the oldest Uchiha. Hearing the rushing water ahead of him, a plan formed in his mind. The five males stopped about twenty feet from the edge of the cliff. They began to chat as they waited for the final two of their group to join them.

Nearing them, Tobirama narrowed his eyes as Madara eyed him, "I dare you to jump," the black-haired teen smirked.

Y/n's eyes widened, "You can't be serious," her voice was laced with worry. "He could-"

"He's too chicken to do it," Madara cut his sister off, "A pussy," he crossed his arms in triumph.

Tobirama stalked even closer, reaching for Madara's shirt to bring him closer. "The fuck is your problem, Uchiha?"

Madara seethed, shoving Tobirama off of him, "You," he snapped, "Think you're so fucking perfect. You're nothing but a sour ass who- Y/n!" The amount of concern for his sister alerted the group that something was amiss.

Tobirama turned to see the lone girl charging for the cliff's edge. No one moved- they were frozen as she barreled forward. Tobirama moved without thinking, tackling her to the ground. Y/n yelped in pain as they rolled, her fighting the larger and much stronger male off. She wanted to prove herself- to all of them.

The group of friends watched as the two neared the cliff. Everyone watched as the momentum threw them forward, and they rolled to the water below. Whatever the males screamed, no one would be able to tell you. Madara's heart thundered, Izuna's too, as they knelt to watch their sister plummet to the depths.
