By the time Ami was six she was stronger than half of the other Senju or Uchiha I had ever fought against and she was more intelligent than any other child her age.. Which was both surprising and reliving because Kouta was known for making stupid decisions. Her sixth birthday was anxiety inducing for me because the day I turned six I was put in armor and shoved off towards a group of Hagoromo shinobi and told to take them down. Butsuma had fallen about a year ago so Hashirama had been put in charge but I knew rules were still rules and she was a necessity...I carefully tucked Ami in for bed and kissed her forehead before slipping out of her room and letting out a little sigh.

"I'm really sorry about this Naria.." Hashirama said almost as soon as the door had shut

"I know" I muttered back and he frowned sadly at me

"She will be fine, she can handle herself against Tobirama and myself.. She can handle a few Uchiha" He said and I smiled proudly

"I know.. But I hope you know that I will be by her side no matter what" I said and he nodded

"If my battles didn't end up... so destructive..I would say the same. I will protect her to the best of my ability" He said and I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Thank you Hashi" I said and I heard him chuckle into my hair.

"Don't thank me until this war is over and she can grow up without fear of war" He said and I squeezed him a bit tighter. I had basically just moved in with them about two years ago because we spent most of our time with them anyways. For the past six years I had spent my time training Ami to be as strong as she could so when the day came that she needed to fight, she would be more than ready.. She knew medical ninjutsu already, she was incredible at controlling chakra, and she had inherited my ability to manipulate nature... the only thing I had to be worried about was if she just froze from fear in battle.

"How do you feel about joining us again" Hashirama asked as he leaned against the wall

"I'm kind of excited, I don't like waiting around to heal people when they come home" I said a little bitterly and he chuckled

"Yes, well we could definitely use your help" he said and he followed me as I walked back out to the main room where Tobirama was drinking tea

"Tajima Uchiha recently fell to a scouting team we sent out.. Which means by tomorrow Madara will be the leader of the Uchiha clan.." Hashirama said and I felt my stomach jump slightly

"Wait doesn't that mean you can just talk and form a treaty?" I asked, thinking of the black haired boy that spoke of peace so long ago

"Well no.. since that day at the river he has become more like his father.. It will take some convincing" He said and I nodded sadly

"We need to do what we have been doing.. At least for the time being.. I will deal with Madara as soon as the opportunity presents itself" Hashirama said tiredly and I frowned

"Are you alright Hashi?" I asked and Tobirama snorted

"He is exhausted, he hasn't had a good night's sleep in weeks" he said and my frown deepened

"Go to sleep.. You are no good to us if you are too tired to fight" I said and he looked disgruntled but he got to his feet and wandered off, saying a brief goodnight to us.

"How is Ami dealing with joining us?" Tobirama asked

"She is nervous.. But so were all of us so it can't be helped" I said, resting my chin on my palm

"Are you nervous to come back?" He asked teasingly and I rolled my eyes

"No way, I am actually kind of excited to fight again.. Healing is important and all but it's not a lot of fun" I said, absently drawing shapes on the table with the tip of my finger
