Chapter 4: Time Won't Stop for Anyone
A few months after I met Hashirama and Madara.
"Kenshiro Sasaki, since when have you been seeing those kids?" Why are the Grand elder and Pops looking at me like that?
"For a few months, been around 11 months actually, why?"
"No reason, when you see them next could you follow them?" they asked with smiles, so with confidence I said.
"No."
"Kenshiro, this is an opportunity for us we could be rid of both Uchiha and Senju we would have no equals." says the Grand Elder.
"Father is correct, Kenshiro this is a golden opportunity, you are stronger than both of them we could finish them both, and be done with it for good, you could avenge your younger brother, and you could find peace." I just lost all respect for these two, well that's disappointing.
"Seems you aren't too smart so let me tell you something, if you try to ruin the only friendship I've ever had in my entire life, I will kill you." I said this with confidence, while I might not be stronger than either of them, I could run from them, and the entire clan, they'd have no way of finding me and I'd come back and kill them all, and they know this.
"...."
"...."
"Kenshiro, we just want to end this."
"And I don't? I'm tired of all this fighting but, honestly, do you think that will help?"
"Neither the Uchiha, nor the Senju cares much about their younger generation, hell sometimes I don't think we do, but those two are different if you kill them all this will have been for naught."
"Kenshiro sadly, this isn't a question."
What?
They passed a scroll to me, seems like they want to use Akemi as leverage, dirty bastards.
"Fine..."
—————
As destiny meets on a river, stones get swept, and meet their fate, for that's what a pebble is to a river, a part of a whole, useless alone, mighty as one.
I seem to have gotten here late as I see Madara, and Hashirama on opposite sides of the river, seems their side knows as well, go figure.
I land in between them, and neither seems to react, as they skip their rocks I throw my own rocks at them, they're too predictable. They seems to think I am too, and they both threw a rock at me.
'Scram Trap' read a rock
'Run' read the other
The third read 'Fuck Off'
As we turn in different directions shadows leap out of the canopy, 2 people from all sides, on the Uchiha side it's Tajima Uchiha, and Izuna Uchiha, from the Senju Side it's Butsuma Senju, and Tobirama Senju, and from the Sasaki side, it's Satsuki Sasaki and Akemi Sasaki.
All three of us stop and try to stop them, but we can't, we know why they all brought our siblings, if either side loses one of them, it'll cause momentary grief, and will bring doom on the said side, a tactic I've used before.
The clan leaders all aim at the weak links of the other sides, but not Hashirama, not Madara, and most definitely I, Kenshiro won't let that happen as we deflect the kunai, and sword we jump in.
Madara speaks first.
"Hashirama is stronger than I am we'll lose to him, we don't even stand a chance against Kenshiro we'll lose."
"There are kids your age stronger than you Elder Brother?" Asks Izuna
"Kenshiro is stronger than I am, we will lose against him, we should retreat." Warns Hasirama, while Tobirama stares in surprise.
"If we attack both sides could decide to get rid of us first." That's all I add as I'm terribly mad.
As the Clan Leaders seem to contemplate, the Uchiha acts first.
"Impressive, we shall retreat, let us go."
As we all start walking away we can't help but look at each other once more. The silence is deafening, and not being one for awkward silence, I did the only reasonable thing I could think of.
"I'll see you guys later, when the old farts are dead, we will share our deepest feelings, pour each other drinks, and toast as brothers, but for now get stronger."
"I'll see ya when I see ya" We exclaimed with bright eyes and hope, unaware of what the future lays ahead for us.
Everyone stares at me wide-eyed, unimpressed that the so-called clan leaders aren't all that it seems.

9 years after the confrontation
This was the beginning of Three Legends, a year before the Hidden Leaf Village was established, as the war waged, and death was an embrace away. The Senju and The Uchiha are once again in the fire of war, their number two lay on the field alone, Izuna Uchiha, and Tobirama Senju, their confrontation a prime example of true shinobi lay there battered, exhausted, a battle of wits.
Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!
Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!
As the mist spread in a desperate attempt Tobirama throws his kunai, Izuna sees this as a blind desperate attack, but Tobirama used Flying Raijin Slice, as fast as Tobirama is a shadow appeared before him and blocked the attack.
"Izuna!" As Madara rushes over he sees that Izuna is unharmed but disabled, as is Tobirama.
"Kenshiro?!?" yell out Madara and Hashirama.
"Madara, how about we stop this, if we join forces no nation could stop us, not even the Sasaki Clan, let us stop this fighting," asks Hashirama, he knows now that the Sasaki interfered nobody will win.
And as Madara was close to agreeing.
"Elder Brother don't! Remember what the Senju have done, they killed so many Uchiha!"
Izuna uses his remaining strength to free himself from Kenshiro, and as he does Madara takes him and makes his escape.
"Hashirama... Leave you aren't strong enough yet." Kenshiro throws Tobirama at Hashirama and tells him.
"You're boring me, leave."
"...Kenshiro" He looks one last time at his friend
—————
As Madara leaves he notices that Izuna's eyes seem different, and so does Izuna notice his. As they were both desperate they unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan the next evolution.
Why?
They have been fighting together their entire lives, the just the thought of losing one another is devastating, they mean everything to each other as they are the last of their family, they are all they've got left.
So they did the only logical choice they traded eyes, they both had an instinct, Hashirama is strong, and with his Wood Release, neither Izuna nor Madara stood a Chance even with the Mangekyo, but their instinct told them with each other's eyes they'd have a chance, in the Naka Shrine the legend is blurred but states there is another evolution to the Sharingan, above even the Mangekyo.
But there's still someone they had little confidence in beating, Kenshiro Sasaki, that man is a monster through and through, he could beat both Senju's and the Uchiha's strongest alone.
He antagonizes them as if telling them they are weak.
"Izuna we can't beat him yet, not even these eyes could bring him down."
"I know Elder Brother, should we form an alliance with the Senju? It seems to be our one chance."
"...I'll talk with Hashirama."
Senju Clan Manor,
As the Senju stand there contemplating what's happened Tobirama speaks up first.
"He's gotten stronger again Older Brother, hes getting bold."
"Yes, even with Wood Style, fighting him is pointless, even with this new Sage mode I've discovered, it still doesn't feel like enough."
"I haven't been able to unlock Sage mode yet, but I am not confident it will be enough either, seems like you're right about an alliance with the Uchiha."
"I'll try in touch with Madara once more..."
Sasaki Clan manor,
Kenshiro stood above the graves of his entire family, his younger sister, Akemi, his father, mother, and even his grandfather, have perished in battle. Like true Sasaki Clan members, they died like warriors they were. As the last Sasaki head, to most clans having just one direct bloodline member might seem like the doom of the clan or on the verge of destruction, but the Sasaki clan is different, there are five branches in the Sasaki.
The Second branch, is the Roots, assassination, intel gathering, espionage, and shadow guard, they are what keeps the family safe, and their training is unique, like all branches, they train in their interrogation methods, and torture resistance, as well as their stealth, they have the second strongest will amongst the Sasaki Clan, and are the most feared of the Sasaki Clan.
The Third branch, is the Branches, Medical Shinobi, Supporting Shinobi, Sensory Shinobi, and in charge of the supply chains of the battlefield, they are the veins of the Sasaki, the Head of the Sasaki Clan states that they can lose the head branch without problem but never can they lose the leaves.
The Fourth Branch, The Crown of the Sasaki clan, focus on Ninjutsu, The brunt of the warriors of the Sasaki Clan, they focus on nothing else but combat, they are the Royal Guards of the Sasaki Clan and the most devoted of the Sasaki Clan, they focus on protecting all branches including the Clan Head.
The Fifth Branch, is their many Leaves, Civilian spies in other nations, businessmen, workers, teachers, and delegates, they are what allows them to be so deeply rooted in the world.
The first is the Trunk, they are the head family in which all the others developed their training, they train in everything from the first to the fifth branch, the Head of all the branches, come together as teachers and they impact all their knowledge on the Clan Head, their experience and teachings are what make the Clan head the head, The first clan head developed all of their training and spread them out as he was a man with a belief in education, and opportunities, nobody was mediocre with training everyone could be anything, The Clan Head could be replaced with the teachings of the rest, it took no bloodline to become the Clan Head, only took will.
"Father, I grow tired of war, my friendships are nearly gone, and all I can do is sacrifice to bring peace, the last bastion of a peaceful future."
Maybe with just my own meaningless life, this mindless war will be done?
