Hashirama
I was sitting alone in my office when I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in".
It was Tobirama.
His eyes were lifeless and I could tell by the way his body was doing that he was exhausted.
I know how you feel ototo
"What's wrong"? "Nightmare". "What was it about this time"? "Izuna, he came back to us but was taken away from me again". His voice was shaky as tears ran down his face.
"Come here ototo". He made his way over to me and I immediately took him in my arms. I allowed him to cry on my shoulder as I slowly and gently rubbed his back.
"I miss him so much". "I know, I know". I whispered to him. "I promise things will get better soon. We'll take our home back, make everyone pay for what they did, and get our husbands their respect back as well".
"I would give anything just to see him one more time". "He's still with you". "You telling me that or yourself"? "A bit of both". "How many left? "Just three". "Alright".
"Papa". Stone and Obito said kamuing back into the room with the others. "How did it go"? Tobirama climbed off and stood beside me. "They're both dead". Stone said. "So is Yugito". "Good. I know you just got back but I need you and Stone to go and retrieve Sukaku. You can rest afterwards".
"Understood". They said in unison before leaving.
Obito
Stone and I kamuied to the hidden sand right away. "Temari's coming". I nodded my head in understatement and went hide. I watched as she made her way over to him with a serious look on her face.
"Yes little one"? He asked smirking. "What are you doing here? No one informed us anyone was coming". "There must have been a miscommunication then. I'm here to see the Kakekage".
"He's busy". "Too bad, it's important". "Does every Uchiha not know how to listen"? "Don't know. Are all sand shinobi annoying brats"? "Why you". She was starting to get pissed. I watched as she grabbed ahold of her fan an aimed an attack at him but Stone easily grabbed her hand, twisted it and broke it.
She let out a loud scream as Stone forced her to her knees. "One last time. Where's your brother"? He asked with his nangekyou activated. "Not telling". She said glaring up at him. "Have it your way then". He placed her in a genjutsu then took out a kuni and stabbed her directly in the chest.
"You bastard"! I watched as Kankuro ran towards Stone with a few of his puppets. I used fire style to destroy all of them, kicked him in the head and stuck a kuni throw his skull killing him.
"Two down, one to go". I said. The next thing I knew the sand around us was starting to move. Stone and I immediately stood back to back. Gaara was unpredictable right now. He rarely shows emotion and all he thinks about is fighting and winning no matter what.
I wasn't worried though. I knew our wood style wouldn't work here but lucky for use that's not the only jutsu we had mastered. The sand around us started to become more fierce as he came out of hiding and made his way towards us.
I activated my mangekyou and readied myself. He moved his hand and made sand soldiers come at us. "Water style, water gusher". I shot out a blast of water getting rid of all of them.
"Fire style, fireball Jutsu"! Stone said breathing out a blast of fire. He used his sand to block it but the heat from his flames were so intense that it ended up turning the sand into glass. "Lightning strike"! I used lightning style to shatter the glass causing it to cut him.
Shards of glass landed in his face and arms but he didn't seem bothered by it. He glared at use again and charged us right away. We jumped out of the way and him and Stone immediately started fighting against each other.
He aimed a punch at him but Gaara managed to dodge it. He aimed another one at him but he dodged that as well. He aimed yet another punch at him but this time when he dodged he took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach.
He came flying towards me and I immediately grabbed him by the hair and punched him in the stomach and face then headbutted him. Blood started to leak out of his head and I smirked.
I threw him back over to Stone and he immediately kicked him in the back. I heard a loud crack followed by him letting out a loud scream and knew that Stone more then likely broke his spin or at least fractured it.
Gaara laid on the ground screaming as Stone and I jumped on top of a building getting to safety for a minute. I knew the second I managed to draw blood from Gaara that he would lose it. He had been coddled so much that the brat started to think no one could beat him.
We weren't like him though. Unlike him we had a reason to fight. Gaara continued to scream in agony as Sukaku emerged from him. He started walking away while swinging his tails destroying all of the buildings it made contact with.
I looked down and saw that their were still civilians around. I made shadow clons of myself then made my way to each of them, placed my hand on them and kamuied them to safety.
I then looked up at Stone and he nodded his head. The two of us took off after him and both launched a water jutsu at him to get his attention. When we did he started attacking us with his sand but we managed to dodge.
"Fire style, destructive flame"! "lightning style, lightning dragon"! We yelled out combining our attacks together. It went towards him at a fast pace and hit him directly. "Wind style, tornado"! "Lightning style, lightning blast"!
We combined our attackes again. I created a big tornado with the hand signs I made and he combined it with with electricity. I smirked as Sukaku was trapped within the tornado in a matter of seconds.
His body swirled around and around at a fast pace until he was eventually flung out and hit the ground hard. I made my way over to him, placed my hand on him and absorbed his chakra.
"Let's go home little brother". He said smirking. I smirked back and left with him.
Lilly
The beeping sound of two machines could be heard as I stood in the infirmary tending two the two shinobi I had down here. "Our boys are doing very well. Obito has collected the chakra from almost all of the tailed beasts.
All he needs is the chakra from Gyuki and Kurama. Soon the three of us will be reunited with our families. Just rest a little while longer Madara, Izuna".
