Chapter 19

Itachi always slept very lightly, even in safe hotels, and now he was lying on the hotel of the grass village, for he knew that tomorrow would be the very war, but he was preparing for literally everything, and this time he slept twice as lightly.... and one of the workers dropped tools in the street, a couple of logs and a sledgehammer, and then Itachi opened his eyes fully awake and poked his head out the window to see what was wrong, and when he found out it was just a worker he calmed down, and when he got back to bed he looked at the clock and saw that it was 5:00, and he didn't really want to sleep, so he tucked the blanket on the bed, lay down on its surface with his hands on his head and thought that he still had 5 hours for what was to come, once the war started he had to find Karin and her mother, and get them away from this village, He also thought about warning everyone in the village of what was coming, but then he remembered that he couldn't change the course of events, because sometimes things end well, and correct themselves smoothly, and sometimes those changes are replaced, on a large scale, he realized this when Shisui went to the Akatsuki, that was the price for his life... and so at this moment, Itachi is thinking about how to save this little girl's happy childhood.... He poured himself some clean water without gas, and after drinking it he went back to bed and started to think about time, and suddenly he remembered a very interesting part in the diary of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, how he fell in love with a girl from the Uchiha clan....

Flashback

Tobirama was tired of being in the training field near his small senju village, he had never left its boundary as he was only 12 years old, but one day he decided to run away to get to know the world better....

POV Tobirama

I'm tired of this war, all they do is show me war every day and that I have to be ready to die for my people from the clan, just not to show the enemy that we are cowards, personally I think it's stupidity, to die for your people, it's a great sacrifice, but to live for him it's an even greater sacrifice, and benefit, as you help create peace spread your opinion to other villages, and build houses, and raise children.... My father won't even understand me, and my younger brother is too young to think like that, but my older brother Hashirama, he understands me better than anyone, he wants peace more than anything, but to build peace you have to know peace first.

After my decision I decided to go outside, to the training field, and ran towards the forest, strangely enough I like the feeling of being on the run, and feeling the adrenaline, and it's like that, heh, I started to go to the side of the huge rocks, and to cut from this forest, I have to climb up the rocks, and after climbing up I notice, I can see the view from up here, I can see whole clumps of trees and the jungle in the palm of my hand, and these cliffs, I feel like I can carve faces, maybe someday I'll get my face carved when I'm the savior of the world from the warriors, but the question is, is it worth destroying all the uchiha?, They're human like us, Senju and Uchiha aren't that different, while I was thinking about it, jumping from tree to tree, I noticed a small village, and there were people practicing on the caton, so it's the Uchiha clan.... I should run away and warn my clan, no... this is my chance first I want to get to know them well, I just need to take off my Senju belt protector, I enter the village, and I notice that they look at me like a passing boy, and think I'm another victim of the war... and as I started walking through the small village of the Uchiha clan, I noticed a strange square training area, it looked like a volleyball court, although I rarely play volleyball, because for shinobi it's nothing, but for people without chakra, it's more of an interesting activity, and in this training area there were several of my peers, but from the Uchiha clan.... and there were about 5 targets, and a girl comes out of the crowd of guys, she looks very pretty, red dress and long and shaggy hair, and suddenly her eyes turn red, and I realized that it's a sharingan, and she takes in one hand, 3 shurikens, and in the other hand only two, and throws it towards the targets and hits the center of each of them, and her friends started clapping and she smiled back, although from a distance I noticed she had a fleeting sadness, and she looked at me sharply, I felt uncomfortable and passed by, and she continued to be sad and deactivated the sharingan.

I went towards Uchiha Bridge, and realized that the village was very interesting, and strangely enough after I was on the cliff imagining that my face would be cut out, I suddenly felt invincible, and nothing surprised me, when I saw the Uchiha village, I thought it was a sign, and I went in quietly, and so far everything is going smoothly, I'm standing on the bridge now, grabbing the bars, and looking at the water, and suddenly I saw a goldfish, and the way it's swimming downstream, and what happens at the end?, and the wave is like time, if the fish swam back, it could be like going back in time.... I wish I could go back in time and understand what this war is about, like that prophecy from the mountain-myeboku that Hashirama keeps reminding me of, once he signed a treaty with the toads, and there he met a wise toad named Gamamaru in the toad country, and he said that one day a chosen one will come who will change history and who will save the world, is it true?.., but knowing that you're doing it for world peace only strengthens your core and makes it easier to aim, while I was thinking, the one who was good at throwing shurikens at targets came up to me.

-Hi," she began with a smile as she stepped closer, closer to the bridge and grabbed the bars as well.

-Hi," I replied with a smile as I continued to stare into the water and added, "you're good at throwing shurikens by the way.

-Thank you," she said, blushing, embarrassed that she found me attractive, and she continued, "and you're not from this clan, are you?

-My name is Tobirama and I'm from- -I thought for a few seconds about naming a clan, and then I thought of the Saru clan.... Saru?, or what's it called? I remembered Sarutobi, the Sarutobi clan.

I know that I couldn't name the Senju clan, because it wouldn't end well for me because I would be interrogated in the village, it's definitely not a good time....

-And my name is Sarada from uchiha- she replied with a smile.

-I noticed your sharingan and already realized who you are," Tobirama said as he looked at her and continued, "but my question is, how did you get a sharingan at such an early age?

-I awakened them when my two older brothers were dead, in a battle against the shinobi senju, I was 10 years old at the time, and now I just turned 11," she said sadly, looking into the river.

-Sorry... It must be hard to lose brothers, loved ones," I answered, understanding her sadness.

-Do you have them?" she inquired.

-I have a younger brother Itama and an older brother Hashirama, and I've imagined many times what would happen if I lost them.... - he said with a sad look, looking at the river, and then he smiled positively and continued - and in the end I realized that they would have gone to heaven, because I know it's there, and your brothers are probably there too, - he smiled lightly at the end, and she smiled back.

-Thank you for understanding, and you know this is the first time I've met a shinobi from the Sarutobi clan, and you have a cool blue t-shirt," she said with a smile.

-Everyone in my clan wears armor or simple brown or gray silk jerseys, but I prefer to wear my own style," I finished with a smile as I looked down at my shirt.

And she laughed back, it must have been a funny topic, and suddenly her name was called, and she said "oh sorry, my name is called, see you later" and I waved back with a slight smile, and I saw that it was getting dark, and I realized that I had to go back to my village, probably everyone was getting excited, and I was walking back the way I came, and even through the rocks where my face could be, and I saw that the sunset was ending and so I hurried, and when I got to my village I saw that no one was home, and I was sure that the head of our village, Butsuna Senju, was late, otherwise I would have seen my father's stern look directed in my direction.... and my brother is now in Gore-Myeboku training, though he's a slow learner, and he'll master the art of the sage in about five years, and I knew no one was waiting for me, so I just went to bed and fell fast asleep, thinking about her, and I just now realized how beautiful her smell is....

***

-Wake up brother," Hashirama began, waking me up with his hands and continued, "today is our next day to become stronger than yesterday.

-I doubt we'll be any stronger if we're sleep deprived, let me sleep-" I say as I wrap myself in my blanket, and he frowns his eyebrows at me and speaks:

-It's actually noon, and I've already given you over fifty hours to sleep." After he said that, I decided to get up, as I remembered that lying down I wouldn't be able to see her face again, or smell her scent.

-Well I'll get up nii-san, just as long as I don't have to hear your voice-" he smiled as I got out of bed, and ran towards Itama's little brother, shouting "Itama! Wake up it's noon already"

As soon as I got out of bed, I immediately put on my blue T-shirt, there was no point in dressing warmly, as it was very hot outside, and I put on this T-shirt and for another reason she liked it.... What's wrong with me? Why am I always thinking about her, did I fall in love? I want to go to that rock again, looking at the herbs that I can hold in the palm of my hand, and want to rumor that in these woods there is a legendary nine-tailed demon fox, although I'm sure he is not there, because I have not seen him according to rumors he must be big and scary, and such a hard not to notice, while I was thinking about the nine-tailed demon I had already reached these rocks, in which I dreamed that my face could be seen, and everyone knew that I was the savior of the world from wars, and suddenly I hear footsteps behind me and could not believe my eyes when I saw her, Sarada, with her shaggy hair, and red dress, and also with a smile, and noticing me she was also happy, and approaching me begins:

-Tobirama hi, didn't expect to see you here-" she starts fixing strands of her hair and walks over to me and sits down at the edge of these rocks too.

-It's good to see you too -I look at her with a smile, and continue -is this your favorite place too?

-Yeah, I really like watching the sunset, as it always helped me to forget the problems of our difficult times.... - she was sad again, probably thinking about her brothers again.

-You're thinking about your brothers again, but I told you they're in a better world," I said with a smile of consolation, after the last sentence I put my right hand on her shoulder and she stroked it and I felt so warm after that, like it was hot and ticklish inside my stomach.

-No Tobirama... I think of my two living brothers," she continued in the same sad tone, and I listened to her until the end, "One is called Madara, since our older brothers died, he's the oldest now.

-What's the other one's name? -I decided to keep the subject alive so she'd talk.

-Izuna's second brother, but he can be just like our father, and our father is a monster, he's always making us work hard to improve our technique, and for every failure he looks at us with disappointment and no support, and Izuno, can be just like him sometimes, indifferent, even though he's only 20 percent good, but he's my brother no matter what," she said with a bit of relief, and continued - but Madara, he replaced my real family, after my mother died, he took care of me by himself, saying he loved me - she started crying - and sheltered me when it was cold, and tried to always protect me, and if he had died with those two brothers, I probably would have awakened a mangekyo-sharingan instead of the usual one... and when I gave him my positive smile, he hugged me and said that's all he wanted, for me to be happy," she finished with a smile.

-Madara... Interesting name, though it kind of means rainbow if I'm not mistaken-" she changed from a slight sadness to laughter at my opinion of the name.

-He never liked being called that, you should have seen how angry he could be even at me," she said remembering his childish face.

-If you say so, you haven't seen my older brother, he's always been too emotional and apologizes for every little thing, but when he gets mad at me and my brother he's unstoppable-" I said thinking about Hashirama, and I was amused that I'd told anyone about his shortcomings.

-What-what would be interesting if they crossed paths? - Sarada asked curiously.

-I think it's going to be an armageddon battle with no end," I said sarcastically, and seeing her sad look that I reminded her about the war, I changed the subject-"just kidding, I'm sure they'll be good friends"-and she smiled.

-What are your brother's techniques? -He's not stronger than you, is he? - Her curious question made me answer.

-Unfortunately he's stronger, but I'm trying to keep up for now, but I'm sure he'll get stronger once he masters the senjutsu he's trained in at Gore-Myeboku-" She was even more curious after that last sentence.

-Gora-Myeboku?" she asked, as she didn't know what it was.

We chatted for an hour about all sorts of things in the world, and what we would like to be, or what we would like the world to be like, and I told her everything I knew about the Mieboku, and even about the sage who lives in a small house and who can summon toads, and she was interested and decided to study it too, since she thought she would be stronger if she had perfect senjutsu along with sharingan.

-But there's a risk of your eyes going blind even worse than from mangekyo, so it's best not to risk it- -we were still sitting at the edge of that cliff, and I warned her about this side effect. 

-I'll take a chance, maybe I'll be the first to achieve this perfect art, - she said with a smile looking at the sun, which will soon fall into the sunset, and added - and even if I go blind, I will wear glasses always wanted.

-I'm sure you'll be as beautiful in glasses as you are now- I said without thinking and blushed a little, looking away, and she realized what was going on and smiled at me and reached over and kissed me on the cheek, I was surprised and happy to smile, and she got up and went home adding "see you later" and I added "sure Heh...".

Later I got home, and was glad that I had gotten there almost jumping for joy, from such a beautiful day, and I was met by Hashirama on my doorstep.

-Hey what's so cheerful?, even in the morning you were unrecognizable from your current face shape- Hashirama began.

-It's just a beautiful day, and therefore a good mood," I said smiling.

-That's the fighting spirit, good for you so it won't be hahaha," he said as if he understood my mood, and continued, "But I also want to achieve my goal and become as cool as the first one.

-First? -What are you talking about? - I wondered.

-The first sage, he is also called the sage of the six paths, and it is said that he brought peace, so shall I be the same. - he said in his usual positive manner.

-You still believe that? What if he didn't exist and it's just a fairy tale?" I said, folding my arms across my chest.

-And even closer no!, he is, and the one who will return in time also exists, just as in Gamamaru's predictions," he said confidently and continued, "and it will be me," he pointed his finger smiling to himself.

-Maybe you're right, and he does exist and the sage is also true, - I said doubtfully because I did not know the truth, and continued with a frown - but I doubt that the world revolves around you Hashi, and if we become stronger as you say, we will only become those who improve the world for the chosen one and now if you do not mind I will go to bed.

-Of course! -Good night, we need sleep for strength- -saying this he ran away to his room.

I got to my room and thought about her, maybe this is my chance to make a difference.., and from what she said, I realized that Senju don't have love and emotion above all else, Uchiha have it more developed, but they also have hatred, and only in pain and loss can they awaken their powers, too bad there's no cure for them, so that they can only awaken the sharingan through love, or mangekyo, when they are truly in love, with all their heart, then maybe they would be the best for peace and order, and maybe I should tell the truth about her and who I am, maybe she will understand or not, but I'll take my chances....and after thinking about it, I fell asleep.

***

I woke up when the brothers started to fight on the pillows in the next room, although I always looked at them as children, because they have always been heh, although I am 12 years old, but I have already seen what war is, and the so-called father, he is sure for all his life has seen all the cruelty of this world, so he does not show love, and going out of the house I met him on the opposite side of the house.

-Tobirama!, what's with your long walks?, tell me where you go, - he said with a stubborn look on his face.

-I just found the perfect training ground, you know I want to surpass Hashirama in taijutsu.

He folded his hands, closed his eyes and sighed and added the word "If you weren't a Senju and you were different I would think you were a spy, but since I know you, don't go too far away or I'll forbid you to leave the borders of the village" he finished with a frown and I nodded as I knew it was useless to change his mind and went on my way, when I left his field of vision I went back to the place with the rocks.

I waited for her for a long time, and was very excited when she was in my field of vision, behind my back she walks up to me and sits on the edge of these rocks.

-I didn't expect to see you again-" she said fixing strands of hair, and continued, "I guess there's no place I can be alone now-" she said sarcastically.

-This place for me has become a favorite, because here you can hold nature itself in your arms, and also imagine what would be if my face would be on this rock and below would live people, who knows because some dreams come true - answered looking at her eyes, and she at me.

-I'm really glad that at least someone understands me," she turned her face into a smile and added, "All my friends only want to become strong shinobi, or just fame or a normal life, but few understand art and the meaning of life.

After these words of hers, I began to understand her well what she meant, and could no longer lie to her and decided to tell her who I was and my thoughts about her too, for I began to love her even more....

-Sarada I have something to tell you I'm afraid you won't like her-" I said, nervous of her response but also confident.

-Hmm? -What is it? - I put my head down and started thinking with sad eyes and she stroked my hand and continued, -You can tell me anything.

-I'm not from the Sarutobi clan, my name is Tobirama-senju- and after saying that, I saw her surprised look and her eyes started to water and she abruptly got to her feet and stepped 3 meters away from me and pulled out her kunai and looked at me with tears in her eyes.

-So you were a spy- - She said sadly, and I, too, rose from my seat and stood opposite her, and she continued, -And I thought of you as a friend.

-I found your camp by accident and thought it was fate, but when I saw you and got to know you well, I realized I couldn't lie anymore," I said sadly, as I felt guilty, and added, "You have to believe me.

-I don't know," she said, wiping away her tears, but I had a great idea.

-You have two tomoya-sharingan, you can check my thoughts and make sure I'm telling the truth -she thought about it and decided to find out the truth, and activating the sharingan she saw my thoughts and feelings about her, and when she cried she was happy, I thought the feelings were mutual....

-You're the best friend I've ever met...- - After that she opened her eyes, and when I approached her she trusted me and stepped forward, and I reached out my palm to her hand and kissed her hand so tenderly, as if imagining her lips. Though I knew I was not destined.... But despair kept me going, so I added, when she stopped crying, "Let's run away...

-What?, where?" she stared questioningly.

-Wherever, as long as not in our villages - I made a serious face as I remembered about our clans, and said what I think about them - in the uchiha clan, to keep emotions above everything, both love and hate, and in our clan reigns fanatical order, and sometimes even disabling emotions, I realized this from the behavior of my father, but we can escape from them, and my brothers will take care of themselves, I know they are strong, like yours.... So what's your decision? - I asked after finishing my speech.

-No Tobirama... I can't"-she said with a heavy heart, and continued-"I can't leave my brothers behind....

-But you described them as strong, and I'm sure they'll take care of themselves, don't worry about them-" I put my palm on her shoulder and comforted her, and she answered me with a smile.

-You may be right, they are strong, but I don't want to leave Madara and I don't want him to think that I've abandoned him, he's my favorite brother and Izuna has always been like a selfish father, but I can't leave Madara... sorry... - After I finished speaking, I hugged her because I knew how she felt.

-You're my closest friend too, but-- I haven't found the right one yet. - She whispered in my ear, and it made me feel like myself and remember that we really weren't on the same path. Though I was still glad she wasn't looking at me like an enemy at all. And I realized what it was like to be open, and she hugged even tighter, adding, "But I can't leave with you, no matter how much I want to, I'm sorry.

After that she was walking back towards her side of the village, but when she stopped 3 meters away from me she also turned towards me and added "thanks for telling me about Mount Mieboku, I may become even stronger to protect my brother from everything, but know that I won't forget you" as she turned towards me I noticed that her sharingan had changed shape, there were now three tomoeys in both eyes, and I added "I didn't know what love was until I met you, I'll remember you forever...." then she walked back to her clan sadly, and it was sunset, I felt the sun as if to leave with her... and I went back to my house, and on the way I thought about it all for a long time, and I still felt her presence near me, and realized that it was my first kiss, with a girl.... Even though it was on the hand. and when I reached the village I ignored everyone who said anything to me, even Hashirama, and I didn't say anything to anyone, but I wanted those moments to be remembered, so I started a diary and wrote about it, so that something would keep the memory of it alive on earth....

***

Half a year, during that time I often went to that place, but she didn't come, and after a month I went to the uchiha clan, and asked a passing uchiha, where is Sarada-Uchiha? he replied sadly that she died as a hero defending her brothers and she didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but because of the side effects of mixing sage mode and sharingan, which caused her to wear glasses, which made her even more sick than mangekyo, and after talking to him for a while, I thanked him and left the uchiha village, and when I was in the forest my mood dropped and I clenched my teeth, and it took me a few months to get over it, and after a while, Hashirama, too, took up the strange habit of leaving home, and said that a mysterious friend was waiting for him, and I didn't want him to experience the same thing I did, he didn't tell me his name, I didn't know who it was, maybe an uchiha too?.

After a while a younger brother who is even younger than Itama died, his name was Kawarama, and Hashirama, expressed his opinion that the war should not continue, and wanted peace and does not recognize the methods of his father, and his father in response took and hit him in the face with his fist, already maimed Hashirama, and I had to stand between him and the evil father, protecting him.... I said that Hashirama didn't mean any offense, he was just sad too, and the clan leader calmed down and left.

A couple months later, the clan leader called us and told us that Hashirama's mysterious friend from the Uchiha clan was going to set a trap for him, and it turned out that they were going to set a trap for him too, and when they were there, I noticed that Hashirama didn't want his friend to get caught, and I noticed him writing a message in a stone to his friend from the Uchiha clan, and then when they both came out of hiding, I saw the head of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan clan clash, and I was in the fight against his son, the head of the Uchiha clan, although I didn't know it was Izuna-Uchiha at the time, and I wanted to kill him, and after the fight was over, I saw Hashirama's friend say goodbye to him, but before he did, he awakened the sharingan, and when we got home, he said his name was Madara, and then I opened my eyes, and I remembered that it was Madara?, Sarada's brother?, and still I didn't say anything to Hashirama because of his pity, it would be unnecessary, better to take care of him than myself....

***

It's been 22 years, I'm now 35 years old, and during this long war, I became interested in the summoning technique that Hashirama used to travel to the land of toads, and realized that it could be improved, I started using similar seals on my kunai, and these became the fastest shinobi, and I also knew that there was no point in competing with my brother, the main thing was to be strong and useful, and not to be the strongest and want to be the best for the sake of some glory, and although I didn't become the strongest shinobi, I became the fastest, and we crossed paths with the uchiha many times, I learned a lot about them, and realized that the clan was cursed in a way, even Sarada told me about it, even when we sat on the rocks for hours, where I wished my face was carved there, she said that she didn't like her clan much, because of their cursed blood that makes you awaken when the chakra enters your brain, because of their strong emotions, and they were almost all like her father Tajima-Uchiha, although my father was no sugar Butsuma-Senju either, but at Madara's expense, she was of a completely different opinion, after years of war, and the death of the clan leaders, Hashirama and Madara became the leaders of their clans, But Madara became more cold-blooded and emotional over the years, and killed many of my clan, and only Hashirama was able to resist him, and once in the open field we met again, and I saw Izuna again, with whom I also crossed paths more than once, and every time there was a chance to kill, I did not do it, because I was afraid of how Sarada would look at me from the other side of the world... and now I see that while Madara is fighting Hashirama, I'm alone with Izuna, facing him.

-Izuna!, we've crossed paths many times and I didn't kill you because I knew the war wouldn't end with this, so why don't you listen to my brother's proposal and change Madara's mind?", I said, moving my blade from his side to the ground, and he continued.

-Mira will not be Tobirama! because I'm not going to recognize you Senju, you are not purebloods like us- he said smiling evilly and pointing his blade at me and added- and you defeated me because I wasn't perfect then, but now I have tricks up my sleeve- after the last sentence, he activated the sharingan and then activated the mangekyo-sharingan, did he awaken it? I killed my best friend, and then I called Madara, and in front of him, I killed his close friend, and he also awakened the mangekyo-sharingan, and then he grabbed me by the neck, because he was waiting for me to explain, and I told him it was my gift, the mangekyo-sharingan, and I took the sin upon myself, and he let me go.

-How could you have fallen so low- - I said in a more disappointed tone, and added, "Your sister wouldn't be happy to see all this.

And after saying that, he clenched his teeth and walked towards me, and his movements were faster and his reflexes were more refined, and I realized that mangekyo was making itself felt, I was also good at taijutsu and sword skills, I was the best in the clan and even superior in taijutsu to everyone, even Hashirama, and in speed and reflexes, and because of that I could barely dodge his attacks, he gave me 3 sword strikes, and I fought back by blocking his side, and his hips, and also in his shoulders, and when I kicked him, he was able to block with both hands with his incredible reaction.

-Impressive. although you've always been good," he said when he got five meters away from me, "and by the way, I knew about your relationship with your sister.

After those words, I opened my eyes, and continued to listen to him.

-I watched her a couple of times and realized that she was involved in a friendship with a Senju shinobi, and when my brother Madara was also friends with another Senju named Hashirama, I realized that he was just like Sarada, they approved of the alliances between our clans, but I spent years convincing him that it was all nonsense, and when we win, I'll kill Madara and take his eyes away, thus awakening the eternal mangekyo-sharingan and creating such order in the world that even Sasuke's revolution will seem like a side effect," he finished with a smug, arrogant smile...

-You're wrong... Sarutobi Sasuke, rebelled against his leader not for revolutions, he wanted peace and that's why he overthrew him, and when there will be peace he will join to maintain this balance did not fall.... - when I said this he looked at me as if I was nobody and my opinion meant nothing, and I continued with a serious look - but you can see why Madara didn't want peace... it was you, you always had your priorities above others, but why are you telling me all this?...

-I say since today you will die Tobirama, and you can't tell anyone about it, after Sarada's death, I was sorry I could drop a drop of tear, but now I myself will kill anyone for the sake of my world where I will be the king.... - he said with a wicked smile at the end.

Then he ran towards me and applied the paralysis genjutsu, and I fell into a stupor for a while, and my shadow clone, came out of the ground, and gave an uppercut to Izuna who, and he flew away for a couple of meters, and I was able to remove the genjutsu with the right concentration of chakra, as I spent half my life studying everything possible about it, and Izuna did not expect my clone, as he did not know this technique, no one else did, because I created him, and called shadow cloning, and then I made seals and used my genjutsu on him, and he was in my black world where he couldn't see me or even himself, but by activating the mengekyo he removed it, and dodged my attacks and I his, and the sword fight went on for about 5 minutes, until I had a plan, I thought my hiraishin could stir my body, but what would happen if I moved between Izuna and my kunai?, I can go through him because of the speed of the vibration, but if I slow down the speed of the hiraishin by a couple of percent, the instantaneous movement will be material, and I can hit him with a blow that he can't dodge, I moved 5 meters away from Izuna, throwing the first kunai, he hit it with his sword, and the second kunai, he also hit it with his sword, and the third kunai he just dodged, and I smiled and he was coming towards me and I used hirayshin, with lightning speed and with the sword, I was able to cut all his vital organs and even broke 4 ribs, with the sword I almost killed him, and then Madara noticed it and ran up to him to see how he was doing, and my brother Hashirama stood up with me and said to Madara, "Madara how many more people are going to die?, let's make a truce..." he hesitated and wanted to say yes, but Izuna angrily interrupted, "no brother, don't believe them, they're deceiving you."I continued to look at him with contempt, and realized that he and Madara didn't know how to use Izanagi yet, and after they left the battlefield, Madara came back and said that he had given him the eyes before he died to protect the clan, but I knew he just wanted to get revenge on Senju, because he was imbued with revenge and Izuna's will was weak, and when Madara created the perfect susanoo, only Hashirama could resist him, and after his defeat, I was sad because I thought Izuno had brainwashed him completely and let him think there would be no peace, so I wanted to kill him with my sword to save him from what he could have become, I had similar thoughts, but Hashirama stopped me because he wanted peace with him, and when Madara told him to kill me or kill himself, and he pulled out his kunai and wanted to cut himself for peace, but Madara stopped him and peace was made, and during the peace my close friend Sarutobi Sasuke came to me, he was the exact opposite of Izuno, although if Izuno had the name Sasuke, he would have dishonored it with his revenge on the uchiha... Sasuke became the head of the Sarutobi clan, and wanted his son Hiruzen and the like to live in peace, when Madara and Hashirama founded the village of Konohe, in their favorite place, I suggested carving faces in the stones, and his face should be there, he said that with Madara given the name, the village of hidden foliage, and the head to be the Hokage, and he agreed at the expense of the decisions and carving faces into the rock, and I had already given up this dream of being in the rock myself, as I didn't want to be the savior of the world anymore since it was already almost saved, and during the peace I didn't talk much to Madara, I thought that if he knew Izuna's intention, it could be a blow to him, and in memory of her sister, I kept quiet about it.

After he left the village and came back and rebelled, he wanted to create some kind of world by immersing the world in the world, but I didn't understand what he meant, so he created the perfect-susanoa side of konoha, and Hashirama took him to a safe distance from konoha, and after their huge battle this place was called the valley of completion, although there was no point in getting rid of his body, I thought he should be of some use, so I put his body in the vault to study it, and after a couple weeks it disappeared...? but I didn't make a big deal out of it. I thought he was buried, maybe he was.

After Hashirama's death the hokage became me, and looking at the rocks I suddenly saw my dream come true, and I felt like a child again, and even smiled, but I didn't show a smile, because I was the head of the village, and I had to take everything into my own hands and all the villagers had to see me as a decisive leader, I gave orders to hunt down and kill Kakuzu, and my second order was to move the Uchiha to the edge of the leaf village, because I knew they shouldn't be in the center of Konoha, there might be another Madara or someone who took his example, and I even created a Konoha police force for the Uchiha, as a sign of trust that they would use that power for a good cause, and the Senju clan had strangely left Konoha, and they wanted to know the world better, so they split up, or they wanted to play and participate in different casinos like Hashirama, who knows, we have good ones from the cloud village, I recently helped them deal with the kinkago and ginkago brothers, the second raikage was pleased that I personally went on this mission with the best team, among them were my students, Homura, Kohara, and Hiruzen, although I call him Saru, short for Sarutobi after his clan, after his father Sasuke died, he's like the leader of his clan, and maybe he'll become the third hokage if I die, and I call him Saru to remind him what he can become, and I think his students will also call him Sarutobi-sensei, Heh... I'm thinking about all this while sitting in the hokage's office, looking at the kikyo castle, and it's already built, although at first people wanted to build a castle that looks like Mugenjo's castle, but due to lack of money I canceled the continuation, and left it as it is now, even adding wings to this castle, it's already the tallest in the village.

Many more years have passed, and over the years I have been a good hokage, and personally administered the chunin exams, and I am writing the last entry in my journal, as I think I will die, tomorrow I will be in the first great shinobi war, and I'm taking my students Hiruzen-sarutobi, Koharu-utatane, and Homura-mitokado, and students of the late Sasuke-sarutobi, Danzo-shimura, Torifu-akimichi, and Kagami-Uchiha, on the journey I'm on we may be met by the golden-horn team from the cloud, and they are over 20 of the strongest shinobi in the world, and if they get in our way, I will sacrifice myself to save my comrades, and I have decided that Saru will become the third hokage after me, and now that I have finished writing, I will hide my diary in the castle-kikyo, and if anyone reads this, I hope it will be the chosen one who was in Gamamaru's prophecy, and will save the world from the likes of Izuna... and I haven't thought about any relationship since Sarada. In fact, I didn't even have a relationship with her. None of the girls of my clan had won my heart. Only this Uchiha clan girl, who I never forgot, was perfect. I knew I wouldn't be happy with anyone after that. But I hope she finds her happiness in the other world...

End of Tobirama's POV

During the first great war, everything happened just as the second hokage thought it would, he actually died at the hands of the golden horns, they were shinobi who worked together as one, and the second during the battle with them managed to take out 13 of them, until he was wounded with a sword in the hip and shoulder, and he lost consciousness and died with a smile that at least he had improved the world.

End Flashback

As Itachi thought about each line of the second hokage's diary, he looked at his watch and realized that he had been thinking about it for about 4 hours, and he also imagined what would have happened if things hadn't ended up this way? it could have been alternatively, and he also noticed a line where he wrote about the chosen one who traveled through time to save the world, and Itachi realized that it was about him, and he got out of bed and decided to put on a black cloak, and prepared for this civil war in the grass village, and expected everything.
