Tobirama Senju is dead
I am Tobirama Senju.
No, I was once Tobirama Senju.
I had three brothers, one older brother and two younger brothers. The oldest was Hashirama, who was at least three years older than me. After me was Kawarama, the second youngest and finally, Itama the youngest brother. Unfortunately, my two younger brothers didn't make it to adulthood.
I was around eighteen years old when my brother Hashirama made peace with the Uchiha clan. It turns out his friend from childhood was Madara, the Uchiha Clan Leader. It was a start of a new era, it was the change that Hashirama would always talk to my brothers and I about when we were kids. Everything was happy and promising. This was the first Hidden Village, Konohagakure. Other clans joined our two clans and the village expanded, a good sign. There were rumors of others following our example in other major countries which could only mean we were doing something right.
As much as I'd like to say everything was perfect from then on out, I cannot. It wasn't perfect but it was good enough... No, it wasn't perfect until I met her.
_̫̣͓̫̳̝̕ ̺̖͙̪̣̰̟̥̀͠_̧͎͓̭̙̠̤̜͔͡ ̨̧̲̠̙̝̭̹͝_̸͍̫̞ ͔͉̫͇͓͟ͅ
The love of my life, the woman who meant everything to me. I will never forget her warmth and how her presence brightened my life. I once said I would never marry but then she came into my life and changed my entire perspective. I could be more open about myself around her and she taught me I didn't have to constantly compare myself to others. The Clan Elders never did approve of her but I wasn't one for letting old misers make decisions for me. Hashirama approved of her and so did Mito, my sister in law. In fact, Mito couldn't wait to meet the woman who could motivate me to keep semi-regular sleeping hours, keep tabs on my health and could make me go to festivals and other events willingly. Madara was also happy for me. My would have been future brother in law took some convincing but he eventually relented. I had all the approval I felt I needed.
It was more than heartbreaking when she disappeared. Not only had I lost the love of my life, I had lost a good friend of mine in battle within the last month. (He shouldn't have been the one to die that day. It should have been me.) This happened about two years after the village was founded. I was wrong about everything being perfect.
The Clan Elders were awfully happy to try to arrange a marriage for me. It was all they ever summoned me for. I always declined, but they never got the hint. It took a threat to kill them all in their sleep to make them stop. I was surprised hat I didn't get in trouble for making that kind of threat though. That's when they finally got the message that I wasn't interested in anyone else.
I would never forget her and I would never be okay with having my happiness taken from me.
Hashirama always tried to keep me involved with his family. The effort was appreciated, more or less. It still stung that I wasn't allowed my own happiness, but still. My older brother was trying his best. I even held his granddaughter once or twice. Tsunade was about five years old when I 'died'.
That's enough talk about a dead man. Tobirama Senju is dead. He died battling the Kinkaku Force to buy his team time to escape. Tobirama Senju is dead. Tobirama Senju is dead. TOBIRAMA SENJU IS DEAD.
