Gone
He could remember earlier that day.
(Before the pain in his eyes and head.)
(Before the pain in his chest)
Now, what exactly had set Tobirama off to begin with?
He was going to see her.
The love of his life.
They had been together for around two years now.
Yes. Two years.
Her name was....
It had been a nice day.
He had finished up his dangerous experiments. The injections to his eyes yielded no valuable results, it had been a failure. However, his friend's gift was not wasted, it provided him valuable insight at least.
Tobirama had warned her that he would be working on something for a few days. She knew Tobirama experimented but not the degree of what he did. He made sure to hide the experiments he did on himself from her. He didn't want her to worry. She knew the scars on his arms, and she called out when she saw he had given himself a deliberate self inflicted wound in the name of science. She was worried and she had every reason to be.
That's why Tobirama had decided to rest before going to see her again. It wouldn't be suitable for her to see him in such a state, especially when he was planning to propose to her soon.
It was only a short amount of time until he had reached her home.
Only, the place was empty.
It seemed to be deserted.
Where was she?

He was worried.
She wasn't at any of her usual places.
Where could she have gone?
Not only did she disappear, but her brother did as well.
Something wasn't right. Something wasn't adding up.
Tobirama stood in one of the plazas in the village. How long had he been searching again? The time was around 1pm when he decided to catch his breath.
Oh, it seems his older brother was there. Had Hashirama been searching for him? It had to be important if Hashirama had been searching for him.
And how things escalated from there.
A fight.
She couldn't be.
No.
Why?
She was the world to him, she couldn't be---
Tobirama found himself on the ground. He quickly jumped up to do his hand seals. Hashirama was preparing some sort of jutsu as well.
<s>It seems his brother didn't want to fight.</s>
That didn't matter.
She was gone. This village was meant to protect the ones that he loved. Hashirama said it would! He lied.
Tobirama was aiming to kill.
Someone joined the fray.
The fight didn't have time to escalate further.
Madara Uchiha.
Madara stepped in between the two Senju brothers. The Uchiha was keeping them apart.
Madara said something but Tobirama wasn't paying much attention.
The younger Senju brother frowned, not happy at the interruption. With a huff, Tobirama ran off.
"Wait!" Hashirama called out to his younger brother.
Hashirama wanted to go after his brother but Madara held him back. It wasn't a good idea to try to follow Tobirama at this point.
And so he ran.
He ran.
His eyes had begun to burn.
Then he activated his jutsu.
Flying Thunder God.
Poof.
He was gone.
