Tiny Kagami 4

Getting a letter from Hashirama so soon after Kagami’s little excursion wasn’t a surprise. The contents on the other hand…

He had expected a letter asking for peace talks, a meeting between old friends, blubbering praise for Tobirama (yes, there was a bit but not as much as he was expecting), something along those lines. Instead he got a letter urging him to keep “little Kagami” away from the Senju lands. The Senju Clan Elders, it would seem, were just as callous as the Uchiha Elders. Disgusting. Wanting to endanger a child to further the war.

Still, it was good to know his old friend hadn’t changed as much as he’d been led to believe. And learning that Tobirama shared his beliefs about children was welcome. Very welcome. The spies they had placed weren’t the most reliable, it would seem.

However he looked at it, the letter was as it appeared. Concern for a child and a gushing older brother being disgustingly proud of his little brother. Bastards, both of them. It was so much easier to lead his clan into battle thinking the spies reports about Hashirama going a bit mad were true.

Now, with the most recent battle and Kagamai himself providing so much evidence to the contrary, he wasn’t sure he could send his clansmen to their deaths so readily. It all seemed so unnecessary.

Hashirama froze in alarm when he saw his little brother stiffen n glare out the window in the middle of a meeting with the elders. The elders had noticed as well and seemed almost gleeful.

“Another visiter, Tobirama?”

If he hadn’t been watching his brother so closely Hashirama would have missed the slight twitching of his fingers. As it was he knew the warning signs and very nearly winced. Those poor brats picked a bad time to test Tobirama’s patience. That Sarutobi kid was a walking disaster and Hashirama was quite certian Tobi only trained him because his father had somehow become Tobi’s best friend.

“No. My students are going to be running laps until dusk. Anija, if you wouldn’t mind?”

Hashirama waved him off, turning his focus back to the elders, frowning at their disappointed looks. Bastards, the lot of them. How had they survived so long?

Hiruzen wanted it to be known, that for once, it wasn’t his fault. He had been the voice of reason this time! But the Senju kids were just so offended that an Uchiha kid was getting Tobirama sensei’s time and attention.

They had also been offended when he had joined their lessons but at least he was from an allied clan.
But this wasnt the same and they wanted to make sure this Kagami knew better than to think he had any right to their Tobirama-Sensei. He honestly couldn’t say who’s idea it was to go /to the Uchiha territory and tell him to stay away!/ but he had been carefully glaring his chakra at set intervals, knowing that his sensei would pick up on it and come to get them. And hopefully not kill him for this one.

His prayers got more desperate as they approched the border and came face to face with a patrol.

“Fuck me…”

Life has been hectic. Have a short chapter. Just wanted to share this before life hits me like a train this weekend.
