Never Meant To Be

Screw You

You know what they say; be careful of what you hope for, it could be the exact opposite of what you might want, and Izuna did just that. All in no hopes, knowing Tobirama being introverted and too busy to even go out unless necessary. Izuna wouldn't even know why in the world his mind was all about Tobirama today, it'll go pass away soon, perhaps..

In the end of the day, Izuna would help his nii-san (older brother) with his paperworks, which is usually in the middle of the nights, and that got Madara finishing his work sooner than he had expected, thanks to his otouto (younger brother).

However the day would soon come, the day where Izuna would meet Tobirama, being invited along in their older brothers' plans, every other day. If Izuna says so himself it's actually quite odd to see his rival without his usual gears and armor on, now that they're not in a damned bloody battlefield. Last time he saw the man he nearly got himself killed if it weren't for him dodging that teleportation jutsu Tobirama used up in his sleeves...

Now, though, the four of them were in a dango shop, one that Tobirama most disliked, not being a fan of sweets. Izuna didn't even bother, keeping quiet still as Hashirama and Madara talked and got along with one another. It sucked he had to sit right next to his greatest adversary of all-time in battle. Hell, this sure was boring to say the least, doing nothing else but sit around and watch as Hashirama had his fun.

Until then he'd get to the point where he had to have to get along with Tobirama, and that wasn't the case as of now. Not yet.

"Sure is boring..." Izuna murmured, looking up at the ceiling, he just finished his dango.

"It sure is, Uchiha." Tobirama scoffed with his arms crossed. What was the point of coming here anyway.

"Whatever, Senju." He looked down at the floor once again, for what seemed like the 10th time he's done that now.

"Whatever what? Speak up." Tobirama would glance at the Uchiha, still with that same old cold look, his expression never changing.

"Nothing. Shut up." He'll be damned, this was the first ever social-interaction he's had with the man after the warring periodic, you name it.

"Or else what?" He smirked, knowing full well what Izuna's answer would be.

"Or else I'll have to cut your damned tongue off, Senju." He glared at him, he'd certainly do that with a 50/50 chance of doing so, yes.

"Hmph. Let's see about that then, shall we..?" Tobirama was starting to get even more daring now. Hey, he had entertainment to watch, other than listening to Hashirama's conversation with Madara.

"Shut up, will you?" Izuna's hand twitched slightly, he wanted to get his hands on that man; he was tired of hearing just his mere voice, if not his presence.

"Like you'd do anything if I don't." Heh. He was starting to get under Izuna's skin, it would surely be funny to see the Uchiha so angry, having heard of them being short-tempered.

"Oh I will." He grabbed Tobirama's chin to face him, if he was going to get daring, so was he. "If I could only cut that precious mouth of yours," he shot him a glare.

"Daring now, are we, Uchiha?" He spoke the name in pure disgust. He smirked, in an attempt to piss Izuna off.

"Getting along now, are you two?" Hashirama knew full well the two weren't, but it was a good start. If anything or any more, he'd like it if his little brother at least got others' company, one that wouldn't lead to violence.

"Of course we are, Anija." Tobirama smiled at Hashirama, that was a first. He hadn't smiled his whole life, not even a faint bit.

"Good!" He smiled back, happy to hear and see his brother smiling, for the first time, ever. "Now shall we get going?" he asked the other three.

"'Course we should, Hashirama. It's been an hour, I can feel my back break." All because of sitting too long, that felt like eternity for Madara.

"Let's go, then." Tobirama shot one last glare at the Uchiha, getting a pissed off Izuna in response. How interesting, but not at the same time.

And soon enough they'd part ways, Izuna was glad for. He couldn't stand that damned Senju, not one bit.

So was Tobirama, however he's hadn't had his 'fun' with Izuna yet, that could be done later, for now he just had to focus on the village's safety and whatever's necessary to add.

Sam read the below

POSTSCRIPT TO SAM:
eh this is what jutsu means if you haven't researched it yet;

NOTES
Jutsu (術)—meaning technique, method, spell, skill or trick—is a bound morpheme of the Sino-Japanese lexical stratum of the Japanese language. It is used in various Japanese terms indicating various specialties or skills, such as the following:
Bajutsu, the skills of horse riding.
Kenjutsu, the skills of the Japanese sword.

The most usually used in this book are:
Ninjutsu (忍術), sometimes used interchangeably with the modern term ninpō (忍法), is the martial art strategy and tactics of unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare and espionage purportedly practiced by the ninja.

( Ninja can also be called 'Shinobi' )

Genjutsu (幻術, Literally meaning: Illusionary Techniques) is one of the main jutsu categories which uses chakra. Unlike ninjutsu, the effects of genjutsu are not real, being only illusions by those who fall victim to it.

And chakra means;
Chakra is the resulting form of energy when two other forms of energy are mixed together. The two energies are referred to as "physical energy" and "spiritual energy". Physical energy is collected from the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise.
