Devil's Breath Part Ten
If there was one thing Izuna hated more than anything, it was being helpless. He could not move a single muscle, could not even open his eyes as another, his mortal enemy, fought for his life. The feeling of Tobirama's chakra coursing through his veins was disquieting to say the least, and it only got worse as the hours went on. Never before had the Uchiha been so aware that more than half his body was water.
Tobirama could not remember the last time he had felt so exhausted, but he kept going. He had no choice. He had run out of time. There was no going back, no opportunity for more testing. No second chances. It was now or never.
The albino gasped for breath. Brow furrowed with concentration as rivulets of sweat ran down his pale face. Control, not power, that was the key to this technique. Little by little, bit by precious bit Tobirama rebuilt the destroyed tissue of Izuna's lung. An anatomy book lay open beside him in plain view. Doing this wrong would be worse than doing nothing. Then at last, it was over.
Tobirama's own lungs heaved as the green glow faded from his hands. As for Izuna, the Uchiha breathed. In and out, without the worrying sound that had come to plague Tobirama's dreams. A diagnostic technique confirmed it. "I did it," the Senju whispered to himself. His rival would live, more than that, he would heal.
He could take down the seal, Tobirama realized. He could let Izuna's body finish healing now that the other was out of danger. And once that was done he could let his rival wake up. It was almost surreal. For months, this had been his soul focus outside of duties to his clan and now . . .
The albino shook his head. He was getting ahead of himself. He still had much to do, starting with. With. Crimson eyes fluttered as everything caught up with him. What did he still need to do exactly? Tobirama found himself sitting almost without realizing it. Body half collapsed against his patient's bed. He just had. Had to. Awareness faded.
As for Izuna, the Uchiha mentally twitched, irritated for another, entirely different reason. Not only had Tobirama fallen asleep on his bare leg, but now his rival was drooling on him.
