Tobirama cupped his brother’s face in his hands, “You have to let me go” he murmured. Hashirama let out a painful sob and clutched at his brother’s arms, ignoring the Uchiha forces completely, “Tobi…” he gasped and the White Demon smiled a little, brushing his brother’s hair back with gentle fingers “It’s time Hashi” he said, infinity gentle. Around the brothers that Senju shifted, closing ranks around them, generational enemies forgot as the clan sank to their knees and Hashirama sobbed, hands shifting restlessly on his brother’s forearms “Tobi please” he rasped but the albino just shook his head “It’s time” he said again. There was something happening, something odd, it almost, it almost looked like there was light shinning from the Senju and – Madara sucked in a shocked breath, Tobirama had no shadow.
“It will be ok Hashi, everything is going to be ok. I’ll remember our promise, remember, we can make things right. Everything is going to be alight.” Even as he spoke Tobirama’s voice changed, gaining an odd echo, as if he was speaking from far, far away. Hashirama whined, high and broken “Everything is going to be alright.”
