Tobirama x OC

Chapter II

A few months passed and the clan was coming back due to a retreat from the Uchiha. They had time to get healthy and rest. Fujin-sama was walking around, making sure everyone was getting treated from their wounds, he saw me in the crowd and smiled. I walked over to him and bowed. "I see you are back, I'm glad." "You look different Tsukiko. What happened?" Oh, he knows me too well. I closed my eyes and gave him a weak smile. "I'm okay Fujin-sama, just really stressed from the war, that's all." "You can say all you want, but you'll only fool yourself." He turned around and walked to the shrine. I'm not sure why, but I followed him. He was pulling me like a magnet, he knew how to read me. "Here, I prepared this not too long ago, I knew someday you will have to know, its just I didn't think it would be this soon. I am deeply sorry for keeping this from you." He placed the scroll in my hands, which I gripped strongly knowing what it was about. I bowed and left the shrine.

"Tsukiko, what is that?" Yomi focused his sight on the scroll I carried in my back. "Oh, this? Just a scroll, it has some information on...jutsu." I honestly don't know why i'm lying to him, he has been there for me everytime. "Actually-" I turned on my heel making Yomi flinch "i'm sorry Yomi, I lied. This scroll is about me. I don't know if you heard what Uchiha Tajima said, but..." Yomi placed his head carefully on top of mine, knowing how I felt saying those words. "I know what you're talking about kid, and I know why you were hiding that from me, I understand. If you need anything you know what to do." He smiled and flew away. I smiled back at him and went home.

The contents of the scroll:

Tsukiko, first and foremost I would like to apologize for keeping this important part of your life. I would like to think that this clan made you feel at home, and that you learned the important values given through all your years of training. Patience, trust and strength. Most importantly, keep in mind that to me and to the rest of our clan you are a Ryu.

I found you on the side of the stream, crying, not knowing what was happening. I took you in, keeping in mind that someday you would have to experience the pain of feeling worthless, unwanted, but I would like to say that you are not. You have proven to be a strong woman, one that defies everyone's opinions, you managed to be chosen by our fiercest dragon, Yomi, he saw your true potential and belonging to our clan, knowing you weren't a Ryu, but an Uchiha. I can't tell you not to hold a grudge against your clan or your family or us and I know that your opinions and feelings only belong to you.

I know that these war times are going to be difficult for you, whoever you choose to support is your decision entirely. I hope you keep rooting for peace and being the strong person you are now. I'm sorry it has come to this.

-Ryu Fujin

I closed the scroll, tears sliding down my cheeks. I felt anger and I felt betrayed by my clan, the Uchiha, my father, whoever he is. They didn't give me a chance to prove my worth, but still, I don't hold a grudge against them, they are human just like me, like everyone else. I'm happy that Fujin-sama and the Ryu clan see me as a part of them, despite some kid's comments not so long ago. I am grateful that such an amazing dragon picked me, I still don't think I deserve him. Aside from my clan's choice, I will keep working towards peace, with the Senju or Uchiha. My sole ambition is to bring peace to this rotten world.

—Years later—

"Tsukiko, are you ready? We need to get going now." Yomi said with a concerned look on his face. This is what I've been waiting for, this is my fight. If the Uchiha want to keep fighting then that's their choice. "I'm ready Yomi." I felt my determination crawling on my skin, Yomi smiled at me and I jumped on his back, wearing a smile.

We flew for a couple of hours until we saw smoke coming from a hill. My heart started pouncing harder and harder, my palms were sweaty, I had never felt this. We landed a few kilometers from the battlefield, I didn't want to use Yomi right now. "You stay here and wait for my call okay? I'll be fine." Yomi nodded. "Hashirama and Madara are a few kilometers from here. Be safe kid." I glared at Yomi's comment. "I'm not a kid anymore, you know?" He let out a cute giggle and I made my way to the main event.

Running amongst dead bodies I couldn't help but feel sadness. Fighting against each other like animals, do they even know what they're fighting for? I saw trees growing at an alarming rate, that must be Hashirama.

I saw them fighting with their swords and on the other side were Izuna and Tobirama. "Madara!" I yelled making them come to a full stop on their attacks. He turned to look at me and smirked. "Look who's here! Don't tell me you're joining the battle, you are finally coming back to the clan sister?" My heart stopped, did he say sister? So, that means Tajima was my father. "I came here to stop you." I said with a stoic face despite my current feelings. He furrowed his brows and did the hand signs for a fire release. "Well, I guess I'll fight you too, then." He launched his attack and I countered it with a special jutsu from my clan, I didn't need to do handsigns. He widened his eyes at me and scoffed. Suddenly, Madara jumped to where Izuna and Tobirama were, holding his brother in his arms. Tobirama stood behind them, panting. I got there as fast as I could, making sure Hashirama and Tobirama were okay. "Madara, you can't win." I turned to look at Hashirama who let go of his sword. "Let's put an end to this. If the two strongest Senju and Uchiha join, the other countries won't find clans that are willing to fight against us. In that case, the fight would end. Come on." Hashirama held out his hand at Madara. "Madara, please." I said in the most inaudible voice. "Brother, don't do it. Don't let him fool you. Have you forgotten all the Uchiha they killed?" I looked at Izuna and Madara with sad eyes. "You killed Senju too, and a lot of ninja from other clans!" I interrupted Madara's thoughts. I couldn't control my feelings right now, even though Izuna was dying I couldn't let Madara listen to him. "You don't get to say those things!" He put Izuna carefully on the floor and threw some kunai at me, Hashirama stopped them with his wood jutsu. "I get to say those things because I am fighting as well, because I want peace, just like Hashirama. I support him, and I will do anything even if it means fighting you" my eyes started burning, I knew my sharingan was on, I hated the feeling of it. "Now, what will you do Madara?" He ran at me with his sword pointing at my chest, I countered with a kunai, getting my face close to his. He pushed me with his body weight making me fall to the floor. I kicked him and took a couple steps back. He did handsigns and sent a huge fireball my way and a big water dragon saved me, turning the battlefield into an unseeable scene. I knew this bit would be strictly between Madara and me. I guess it's a good thing I'm an Uchiha. I closed my eyes and slammed my right palm into the ground. "Yomi, I need you to distract him, be careful please." I said to myself knowing Yomi would hear me. I prepared a few kunai with an immobilizing seal. The steam started to dissipate, only for me to see a big samurai-like figure holding Yomi down by his neck, squirming to release from its grip. "Yomi!" I yelled throwing the kunai not knowing if it would help. "Now, I will finish this." The samurai created a sword with lighting running across it and threw it at me. I froze, I didn't know what to do, it's either me or Yomi. I closed my eyes and waited for the hit, but it never came. I slowly opened my eyes just to see Fujin-sama stopped the attack with his body. I felt tears running down uncontrollably, I felt my eyes sting once again, but this time was unbearable, I felt a thicker liquid run down my cheeks, I didn't know if it was from all the tears. I touched my face and saw blood on my fingertips, I looked up to see the heartbreaking image of my sensei dying for me. I ran at him, holding his weak body. "Ts-Tsukiko. I'm glad you are okay. This. Take this, I know you will take good care of it." He handed me a scroll, I nodded and put it away. He smiled at me, breathing one last time. I looked over with anger all over my face, I saw everything differently. Could this be another stage of the sharingan? All I knew is I wanted to kill Madara. I stood up and charged against the samurai figure. I heard Hashirama and Tobirama yell but I didn't care. I took out the dragon sword and slashed it across the samurai's torso cutting it in half. I saw Yomi finally free himself from the samurai's grip and flew over to grab me. I jumped on him and casted the handsigns for a sealing jutsu, but Madara avoided Yomi's grip and ran to Izuna grabbing him and disappearing.

Yomi flew up high looking for them, but he had no luck. I walked to Fujin-sama's body, I held him in my arms, trying to pick him up. "Are you okay?" Hashirama said placing his hand on my shoulder. Tobirama walked over to where I was, crouching next to me. "I can carry him, you need to rest." He paused for a moment. He cleaned the blood from my cheeks with his finger and took the dead body from my arms. "You were really brave out there." I felt my heart flutter at his actions and words, all the sadness and anger disappeared at that moment. I felt my face burn, but I didn't know why. "You must be really tired, your face is all red!" Hashirama laughed between his words.

I slammed my palm and Yomi soon landed next to us. "Old Fujin-sama huh?" Yomi closed his eyes, and lowered his body for me and Tobirama to get on his back easily. "Hey, I can carry him. Don't worry" I said and Tobirama smiled, something I never thought I'd see. "Don't worry, it's the least I can do."
