Distant Crystal Clear Memories(Tobirama love story)

11: War

Mizuki was dressing into her ninja clothes and clipped the choker around her neck with a smile. Yuki walked in. "Nee-chan. Are you going to train?" The question was so simple yet..... "No not this time. Everyone who is strong enough is leaving to um, fight a enemy."

"Ooh! That's so cool. Who is it?"

.......

"There has been a huge dragon burning the forest somewhere far away! He stomps and thrashes about like this!" She started moving like the creature in the movie Godzilla before tackling the fifteen year old to the ground. "He can devour his prey all in one bite but first....." Yuki giggled and her eyes were wide with interest. "Since he's a dragon, he must cook his food." She finished with a matter-of-fact tone.

Mizuki started tickling her sides and they both laughed. When she stopped, her face became serious and so did the younger girl's. "You won't get eaten will you?"

"No way. As long as I have this pendent, you will be with me. I will return to you unharmed." She saw a head of white hair outside the door and hugged her sister tightly. "Just take the music box and key, play our song and you won't be alone." The innocent teal eyes were tearing up as she nodded.

After closing the door to the room she gave Tobirama a nervous smile. "Are you sure I'm ready for war?"

He nodded and started leading her to the gathering spot. Passing Suzu she stopped. "Hey. Look after my sister okay?"

The little senju nodded her head quickly before hurrying off with laundry in her hand.

He noticed how she fidgeted with her bangs, hiding the scar like she used to. "How is Madara and Izuna when they fight. I have an idea of Izuna's strength after rescuing Yuki but....That wasn't an actual battle."

"I won't lie; those two are strongly devoted to their clan, if not more to each other. Both are ruthless in a fight. Me and Hashirama usually go up against them while the others take care of the rest."

"What decides the end?"

"A retreat or surrender. There has only been retreats though. The Uchiha clan is far too prideful to surrender to us."

"If someone was to befriend an Uchiha without knowing, what would happen?"

Her question caught him off guard. He turned to look at her only to see that her visible eye was glazed over in thoughts. "We would suspect that person as a spy among us but...Why ask?"

Mizuki sighed. "No reason really."

The battle itself began soon after. She had already formed a series of barracades for the Senju's to duck behind for cover. Hashirama surrounded her crystal pillar to make the cherry blossom tree like before. She had her hands held out to the sides while standing perfectly still. The dark haired clan ran out, eyes red from the sharingan.

Tobirama watched as the woman opened her blind crystalized eye. A faint smile crossed her lips. She thrusts her hands forward, the thousands of petal shaped shards swirled around her. She began running across the field, the many tiny blades cutting the skin of any enemy who came close, stalling them for just thr right amount of time before a Senju's blade impaled them.

He couldn't help but marvel at her abilities once they were put to use. In training she always had top hold back on him. But then the petals shattered, unable to withstand any more pressure. Izuna collided swords with him before he could continue observing.
