Tobirama as an elder god.
❤
(Part 3 of the Naruto Gods series)
Infuriated by Madara’s encroachment on his territory, Tobirama
sends forth waves of ice with renewed vigor to retake what is rightfully his.
The Earth itself groans beneath the gods’ rage and humanity seeks shelter in
the caves created by the continental bones of Madara’s Susanoo.For a century, volcanoes loose their fiery payload and sear scars
though the landscape in a billowing clout of steam. Ultimately, Tobirama finds
himself outmatched by the might of Madara. His retreat is a bitter, forced
thing, giving ground only when he is bent double around Madara’s fist and too
exhausted to continue. He clutches at Madara’s stomach and thighs as he slips
to the ground bonelessly. From his mouth pours the first river. His ice sheets
melt to form the oceans and nourish the soil.In Tobirama’s defeat, the sun bears down on the rich loam of
the Earth and reveals germinating seedlings, reaching up like hands. Madara
grasps them and pulls the long-lost God of Creation and Renewal, Hashirama, from
his erstwhile bed of frost.Tobirama’s bolt of realization is a painful thing.
(He wears the scars of Madara’s touch on his face as a reminder of his folly.)
