It's been three years; Hashirama and his wife Mito have a child; Tobirama has structured the Village of the Leaf; someone has to do it, or else Hashirama would have made things a disaster. Madara is the second Hokage, and Hashirama, the first, Izuna though he whines about it, is their assistant. Then, finally, Tobirama has no reason to hide anymore; he melts and leaves a woman. She lets out a long sigh of relief, "Is it safe now, mama?" eight-year-old Haru asks; Tobirama smiles and nods, putting on a silk kimono with white fur draped around her shoulders. "It is. We're no longer in danger." she smiles and looks at her youngest son. Fourteen-year-old Tatsuya smiles, "I'm glad you're not harmed, mom." twenty-year-old Katsuro and nineteen-year-old Masumi nod in agreement, taking off their masks. Tobirama smiles and hugs her boys, smiling sweetly as she ruffles their fluffy hair. Their hair is soft and wild, just like hers and their fathers. Tobirama has kept their father a secret from them, and she was pregnant with Haru; she hid as the ice-cold Tobirama Senju, younger brother to Hashirama Senju. She raised her children away from both clans. Both families were away from the anger and spite of each other, but mostly away from her brother. She didn't want to tell Hashirama that night she saw Madara and Mito. Her heart broke, and she ran away; feeling used, feeling dirty, she ran away from the lake.
Tobirama sighs softly, smiling as she opens her eyes, she never told anyone about her children, and no one asked about the white-haired woman who shines like the moonlight. Tobirama walks along the forest, Haru walking with her, "Mama, look, a bunny!" Haru smiles, and Tobirama looks over and smiles. The rabbit is light brown, with brown eyes, "It must be gathering food; maybe they have babies too." Again, Tobirama smiles, and Haru smiles. They watch the rabbit until it hops away into the brush of the forest. Then, together, they gather berries, fruits, and herbs; Haru smiles as he holds onto his pouch of berries. Once they were home, Tatsuya and Katsuro were already cooking their fish and rice. Masumi smiles and helps Haru and Tobirama with their pouches. Then, the mother and children make dinner and dessert together, smiling and laughing in each other's company.
