The struggle was finally over.

Somewhere in the distance she saw a fire slowly burning out. Where some zealous Senju have started pulling the bodies of dead Uchihas, and pungent smoke filled the scenery of the battlefield. With tears in her eyes and the smell of the bodies slowly burning had been seeping into her skin, she saw a tired person on the horizon, with long hair and wide shoulders. He stopped once in a while and while, tending to the survivors' .There indeed weren't many of them. She knew his chakra nearly as good as her own, so she easily found out how tired he has been. His almost infinite source of chakra was half empty. Conflict took too long. She closed her eyes and focused, and found Tobirama soon. He seemed to be far away and also tired, but safe.

After some time of focusing at Tobirama's chakra, something disturbed her. She knew this chakra well and it was disappearing oddly and quickly. She would know, if that person tried to cover it. If it was like that, it wouldn't melt away like that.

If she felt it correctly, he was dying.

She frowned and turned around. Hashirama was still walking around and giving help where it was still possible and didn't focus on his cousin's actions. She maybe kind of lost her mind in that moment, but she decided to search for dying guy. She was angry. How could he let this happen? That Uchiha killed her brother, and she had every right to kill him for what he has done. So why is his life already at risk? That just wasn't fair. She wasn't sure what she would do, if she found him. True was, that "if" wasn't really accurate. Her sensing abilities meant that she would definitely find him.

Uchiha was far away from center of conflict, near the borderlines of the battlefield. Since she knew who she was looking for, it was quite easy to locate him. Her feelings were correct. He was bleeding from deep and painful cut at his left thigh and because have fainted, so he was helpless.

She looked at him with uncertainty in her eyes. It was now clear how had Hashirama's idealism influenced her. She couldn't just walk away and let him die like that. at the same moment she also realized she also couldn't end it. From her fifteens she hadn't wished for anything but revenge. But not like this! It seemed to be too easy. Not satisfying enough. Her brother had been killed by this Uchiha in such cruel way and finishing this would be mercy.

She was just standing and looking at him furiously, realizing that it didn't actually matter, what would she do, because if she won't hurry up, there wouldn't be anything to do, nobody left to kill. While thinking, somewhere behind her some leaves rustled. Without thinking about it, she turned rest of her chakra up, so even someone as talented as Tobirama couldn't sense dying Uchiha. In some point she felt like a lighthouse.

"There you are, Toka." said arrival. It was Tobirama. He rolled his eyes. "You really shouldn't leave in such far. We were worried."

"I need to pee," she lied quietly.

"Oh." said Tobirama in shock by her sincerity, very sheepish. She had been good soldier, so he sometimes forgets that she was also a girl and need some privacy.

"So - come back when you are finished." he added, all red, and left the embarrassing situation, escaping back to his older brother. He jumped between the trees - Toka was watching him since she wasn't sure, he wouldn't come back - and her chakra stopped floating. She barely had some of it left.

She turned with some deep animosity in her eyes to the man, she was covering. She hadn't a single clue why she decided like that. Tobirama could be brave, unlike her, to finish whole dying-Uchiha thing. Haha, could be? He would definitely do it, in her place.

Maybe she just wanted know, that she is not bad person. Constant killing change you. Maybe she just wanted to be sure it's still her, not some murdering monster. Anyway, she bent and touched his hand. She was no medic, unlike Hashirama, but even she could notice, if someone is or is not living. He was still among the living. She could feel his heartbeat and she could see his chest moving.

So he wasn't dead yet.

"Don't you think, Hikaku, that this means peace between us," she said quietly to Uchiha, as he could hear her, while she put down belt with Senju clan sign, which looks really alike a headband worn by Hashirama. She could imagine how it will look like if somebody found him with senju clan crest at his leg, but she didn't really care. It was small price for his life. She bandaged the injury, to prevent bleeding to death.

"I gave you your life back, damn Uchiha. And I am going to take it from you. This would be too easy, consider yourself lucky!"

Truth to be told, it was useless challenge to him. Uchiha couldn't hear her anyway. Then she again pushed his hand and gave him some of her chakra. Even if she knew that she was putting herself in danger, so he could be found by his companions. Then she left. Not even she was benevolent that much to let them catch her. She was pretty sure somebody is looking for him aswell as had been Tobirama for her.

When she came back - the fire finally died and Hashirama had stopped healing the others, so he was only tiredly leading Senju survivors home - she had no chakra left. She stepped from between the trees and collapsed to ground from exhaustion. Her cousin ran to her and without saying a word, lifted her.

Before everything dissapeared from her sight, she felt that Hashirama winked.
