"Why are strangers… oh, my goodness, INDRA!" was the welcome the shinobi from the future received when they arrived at the village with the hurt half alien. A long haired person with a white kimono ran up to them. "Are you alright?! Did this men hurt you?!"

"No, they weren´t the ones, Futami-san" answered the teen, smiling a bit. "This gentleman… helped me when I was attacked by strangers. I forgot to stay indoors when my chakra was sealed and…"

"Why are you lying? You should…"

"I´m not lying… Kagami-san, no?" the clan heir made a lot of effort to smile to him, keeping the tears and his pain inside. "I got a little banged up by some bandits, no deal. I will be better in no time" he turned his eyes towards his father´s disciple. "Can you heal my injuries, Futami-san? I will deeply appreciate that."

"Indra-sama… okay, I will do as you ask" he started tending to the teen´s injuries, using his chakra to close the wounds. He noticed the strange amount of blood in his tights and another substance… no… that simply couldn´t happen to Hagoromo-sama´s oldest son. He kept checking on his injuries to make sure he didn't have any internal injuries… then he found something even more disturbing. "Indra-sama, we should call Hagoromo-sama to…"

"No"

"What?"

"No!" he screamed, showing his hands away. "You can do everything but call my father or tell him a words about this… incident. He didn´t need to find out."

"But, Indra…"

"Besides, he must be very occupied training my oh so important little brother, he is his favorite after all" a bit of jealousy was detected by everyone around. "There is no need to distract him from those matters…"

"In…"

"That´s bullshit!" yelled Kagami, not able to contain himself. "If your father doesn´t come running when he heard what happened to you, then he is a bad parent!"

"Don´t call Hagoromo-sama like that!" Futami got up, frowning to the young man. "He is the gentlest being in the world and a great father. He can… make mistakes, big ones, but I´m sure that when is told about this he is going to rectify…"

"Haven´t you heard me? No one is going to tell him what happened, anything!" yelled Indra, getting up. His wounds were significantly better and now he could walk on his own. The half alien looked at the old human. "Don´t you dare to tell him a word."

"Why, Indra-sama? He should know about this, to make sure that…"

"Futami-san, just obey me and don´t say a word to him. I have had enough bad news for the moment and this will surely bring me more in the person of my father" he lowered his head a bit. "Just let me rest a bit."

"Okay, but then you will tell…"

"Haven´t you heard me? No one is going to tell him, not even me" he sighed, tired. "Besides, what good will that make? He won´t believe me or anyone"

"Indra…"

"Now excuse me, my bed is calling me and I have to get up early tomorrow for my duties. Good day to everyone" he started to walk away. "Oh, and make sure to find suitable rooms and other necessities for my guests. They saved me from those bandits and deserve to be threated the best way we can."

"Yes, Indra-sama" Futami bowed, knowing that there was no way to make his young lord listen to him. "Excuse me for my first reaction, is just that… we aren´t accustomed to strangers here" he smiled to them. "Welcome to the Ninshu village and thanks for saving our young heir."

"Thanks and you are welcome" answered Tobirama, looking around the place. There were kids running happily and people using what could only be called jutsus to do meaningless things. "What an interesting thing you make…"

"Yes, using chakra could be quite strange this days."

"Is so? We are accustomed to it!" answered Torifu.

"Yes? We haven´t heard of anyone else that was gifted with chakra by Hagoromo-sama apart from us… well, there is Hamura-sama, but he lives in the moon and haven´t graved us with his presence since Asura-sama was born."

"Asura-sama?"

"Indra-sama´s younger brother" explained Futami. "He is a sweet boy. A bit on the slow side, but very talented in medical arts and cares for the others as no one else."

"I know someone like that" Tobirama talked, thinking about his brother. Then he looked around the compound again. "But why are you so accepting of strangers? This are dangerous times after all and chakra should be not wasted in such things like watering plants or making bonfires…"

"What else should we use it in?" asked Futami confused.

"War" said the Hokage coldly. "Isn´t chakra a war weapon after all?"

"NO!" the older man yelled, putting a hand on his chest. "GOD FORBID THAT FROM HAPPENING!" he breathed in a few times before calming down. "Hagoromo-sama taught us that chakra is a way to unite, to make a connections with the other´s souls and to bring peace to ourselves. It´s true that it can be used as a weapon, but… it´s something we have to avoid at any cost"

"Really?"

"Really! It would be an abuse of the trust Hagoromo-sama put on us when he gave us the gift of using chakra!"

"But in our clans…"

"Maybe they are confused" he signaled at the compound´s main part. "Come with me, I will show how you truly use chakra. It´s the first time we passed the knowledge Hagoromo-sama gave to us to outsiders and warmongering ones, but… who am I to judge?" he smiled. "Before my sensei took me as his apprentice I was nothing but a thief."

"He trusted you… even if you were a thief?" the albino repeated in disbelieve. He couldn´t have done that.

"Yeah, it was long ago… I just remember he saved me from my crimes and taught me a new way of life, made me the good person I didn´t know I could be" he bowed at the entrance of the shrine. "Even if he did the same for so many, I still kept those memories very close to my hearth" he pushed the doors to open the shrine. "Well, welcome to Hagoromo-sama´s usual meditating place"

"What is that symbol?" asked Tobirama. His students were seeing it with wonder, as they haven´t seen anything like that before.

"It´s the Six Paths, of course!" he answered as if they were crazy. "How could you have chakra and not knowing about the Six Paths? Our sensei is Ootsutsuki Hagoromo-sama, the great Sage of the Six Paths"

"Sensei" trembled Danzo, eyeing the symbol now with fear.

"Yeah" the Niidaime remained cold and bowed deeply to the symbol. "We ended up in the beginnings of ninjutsu" he got up "And I think we just saved the God of Shinobi´s son."

-Later-

"It´s cold, no?" said Indra, getting out of his room with a blanket on his hands. Tobirama turned to look at him in respect, even if for some reason he didn´t like the revered Sage´s first born. In some way, he remembered him of his deadly enemies, the Uchihas, and he didn´t like that, because it would mean that those cursed bastards were… he couldn´t even begin to think about it. "Here, cover up"

"Thanks"

"No problem, as you helped me. I owe you a great favor, don´t you think" he looked down, smiling sadly. "No one has done that for me… ever."

"No?"

"Yami wasn´t exaggerating when he said that I was… well…"

"I get it"

"I´m not a whore"

"I never called you one, I know when someone has had it difficult and passed bad moments because of a parent´s fault"

"Oh, well" he sat down near. "Mine never listen to me, you know? Since my oh so perfect brother was born, it was as if I didn´t exist" he laughed. "Of course, I´m using sarcasm, because the little thing couldn´t even read a whole book! And when he tried the jutsus… oh, that was a disaster!" his laugher died. "But my father loves him as if he was his only child and always listen to him. Just because of that… he didn´t pay any attention to me and permit THIS to happen!"

"Hey…"

"I know… I shouldn't be talking about this with anyone, but… it´s just that it´s difficult to just keep it in all the time"

"Why don´t you use your ninshu to make your father know about your suffering?"

"So it´s true that Futami taught you three the ninshu!" he marveled. "I thought he and the other disciples would never share that. But it´s okay, you saved me after all."

"Indra, why don´t you trust your father? I have some fights with mine, but he wasn´t as bad as to let something like that happen to me."

"Because… the first time it happened I was just a child and did what any child would do, go to his father and ask for his protection, for his comfort and healing, but he didn´t believe me and punished me for lying" he hugged himself. "They kept doing it thanks to him and… I learned… that I could only trust in myself and my power. If I´m powerful enough… then this won´t happen again. And I hate them all, you know?" he added quickly. "A deep burning hate"

"You could only trust power? A deep burning hate?"

"Yes… so deep that my hearth is going black"

-In a few days-

"Hagormo-sama arrived with Asura-sama!" the voices were claiming. Tobirama and his teams lifted their heads and looked at the entrance. For some time they were skeptic about the Lord of the place, but in the end the disciples were telling the truth.

"It´s the Sage of the Six Paths!" squealed Kagami, like a fangirl who was looking at his favorite superstar. "I want his autograph!"

"Hey, I go first!" yelled Torifu.

"No, me!"

"Silence, you all" scowled them their teacher. "Just… keep calm until…" something caught his attention. "Is only me or his chakra" he signaled to the Sage´s companion "is exactly like my brother´s?"

"Yes, I can see it too" said the war hawk.

"Now that I think about it, Indra´s chakra was a lot like Madara´s, but I don´t even want to think about…"

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Futami got closer. "Hagoromo-sama came back, let´s get to introduce you four"

"To HIM?!" Kagami was marveled. "God, I´m not dressed formally enough"

"Shut up and start walking" Danzo pushed his teammate towards the crowd. Someone walked towards the newcomers. "Hey, isn´t that Indra?"

"Father, otouto, welcome home" bowed him deeply. "I hope your training was as fruitful as we all think it was."

"Thank for receiving us, son. Did something happened when I was out?" asked Hagoromo, putting a hand on his oldest´s shoulders.

"No, nothing happened"

"What are you talking about? Something did…"

"Hum, newcomers? And with chakra!" the Rinnegan eyed man looked at them and sensed something strange coming from two of them. "Be welcomed. I hope my wayward son wasn´t much of a problem for you."

"No, in fact…"

"Sensei" Futami interceded. "This nice travelers helped Indra-sama when he was in trouble with some… bandits"

"I see" Hagoromo looked at his child, who was glaring at the apprentice. "I´m sorry if you have to go out of your way to help him. Indra has a gift to piss out people."

"On contrary, they were attacking him without a reason" answered the albino, getting to the front and defending the young man. "And we consider an honor to learn the ways of such a master."

"Thank you for your words" he looked at the sun. "It´s time to begin the training, shall we?" he let his apprentices enter the shrine first. Indra kneeled in front of his father, as if he was asking permission for something. Hagormo looked at him and unsealed his chakra. The boy bowed in gratitude and walked towards his partner. The Konoha shinobi recognized him immediately as one of the men that assaulted the young heir. "Sit with me, my guests" he raised a hand. "Begin!"

"Hai!" the spars were getting on really well, but somehow in the middle of the exercise Indra started to show signs of discomfort, that turned quickly into a very noticeable tendency to kill his opponent. When the Ootsutsuki used a Fire attack too big for the situation, everybody tensed up. Tobirama grabbed one of his special kunai, using his chakra and Kagami activated his Sharingan, which caught Hagoromo´s attention. He made a quick move to stop his child and…

"Everybody out, I need to speak with them in private" he signaled to the newcomers and put the seal on his son. "You too, Indra, Asura…"

"Yes, father" they got out, worried. The Sage sat down again and sighed. For some moments, there was absolute silence in the room.

"Let´s speak clearly" the half alien finally spoke. "I know that you, Tobirama, are a descendant of my Asura and that you, Kagami, from Indra."

"Me, sir? I´ve never…" then the boy remembered something from the fight. "Now you are talking about it, I saw Indra using the Sharingan."

"Yes, it´s a jutsu only my oldest son can do. It´s very strange how destiny works" he looked at the ceiling. "Indra inherited the ocular power, but not the chakra to unlock the Rinnegan, and Asura inherited the chakra, but not the ocular power at all" he lowered his gaze. "I can´t even fathom what Indra could have done if he had the Rinnegan…"

"Maybe if his father gave him more attention he will stop causing troubles."

"Why do you speak like that, my child?"

"Honorable Sage, I may be one of your descendants, but I´m also one that knows the pain of war and losing his loved ones in the hands of others… and other that are like Kagami" Tobirama talked, feeling a bit of rage, had this man protected Indra, then the Uchiha would have been saved and his brothers would be alive. "Maybe he has a good reason to be what you call… problematic."

"War? How could war break out with all my teachings?" the Ootsutsuki got up worried. "I need to see that" he gave his hand to Tobirama. "Take my hand and don´t worry. I will see only what I need to see."

"What you need to see or what you want to see?"

"Just take it" they hold hands and the Sage started communicating with their souls. It was a strange thing, even if they have done that before, but… enlightening. After some minutes the man let them go. "I see, how much damage has Indra caused" he shook his head "He even poisoned his descendants with hate."

"It´s a curse few of them could get out of, like Kagami"

"But you Senju haven´t done anything to help them either" he retorted, looked at them disappointed. "You even killed a boy, caused his brother to go insane, broke the friendship that could have mean reconciliation between my descendants and the end of the war, mistreated their people, hurt your own nephews…"

"They were Uchiha! My enemies! And my brother shouldn´t have committed such a mistake…"

"Isn´t your apprentice an Uchiha?"

"He is the only one deserving enough to be saved."

"And aren´t Uchiha your family too? Remember, you are linked to your so called enemies through me, my blood is flowing through your veins and theirs for equal."

"A very diluted blood… no offense. It´s just that… they are not exactly innocents."

"The children are and you cultivated the hate in them" the Sage sighed. "Could you say that you are at least beginning to understand that this mess that the future is going to become it´s not exactly their fault?"

"Nor Indra´s, but I´m not making snide comments at you."

"Yes" Hagoromo quickly changed themes. "Another thing that worries me is how you came here, it´s a very delicate situation. I only know a pair of ninjas that could do something like this and their identities... this is not going to be pretty."

"Yes, Hashirama said that he once heard that you had an enemy with the capacity to travel in time"

"Not my enemy, my mother´s, and not one, but two… that could become one if they want. They were called the Twins of the Bicolored Obelisk" Hagoromo united his hands. "I prayed for never having to say their names again or see one of their jutsus."

"They were dangerous?"

"The worst of evils. They were a pair of psychopaths that thought the most beautiful thing in the world was destruction and called it their work of art. They sought it even in their sleep…" he grabbed a glass of water. "For them to do this… their situation must be desperate. Maybe they are planning a last attack that would destroy all the worlds."

"That´s bad" the Niidaime conceded. "What should we do?"

"I will analyze the problem and try to fix it after finding the way to return you to your time" he got up. "Get ready to leave soon, we have to stop this immediately" the shinobi bowed and started to leave. "And, Tobirama, Kagami, I hope that when you return to your time you teach the rest of your clans to make a real peace, not this cheap one, and fix the mistakes we made. Think about them not as your enemies, but your brothers."

-Later-

"I don´t know if I could make peace with that bastard Madara or accept whatever the hell he had with my brother or those brats of…" familiar chakra movement. He felt like killing someone, didn´t those bastards realize what they were going to cause?! He ran to the exact location of the chakra and found the same scene from the well. "Leave him alone!"

"Bah, you came again to spoil our fun? Go away, the whore is ours for some…" the rapists were completely trashed again and left screaming for their sensei, claiming to be innocent from anything. Futami, that was walking down that hallway, frowned and went to the heir´s room.

"Did something happen?" he asked, seeing Indra unconscious.

"He just fainted… because of what those bastards did to him" growled the albino, looking at the long haired man. Even if he was an Uchiha, the one that began the war that took his brothers and his mother, he couldn´t hate him. He was hurt and did what he deemed best to protect himself and his descendants from that pain. So the war had only one culprit besides those assholes. "What kind of man couldn´t see how hurt his child is?"

"I´m sorry, but Hagoromo-sama is blinded by the goodness he sees in all people" he kneeled down next to the teen. "That´s why your arrival is such a blessing for him… and me, who have seen him grow up and thinks of him as a son" he caressed his head. "Thank you for becoming his protector and friend."

"I´m not such, I hate the Sharingan and we must leave soon to avoid a catastrophe" Futami opened his mouth to say something. "But you can. Become his shadow, someone that keeps an eye on him and protects him from those…"

"But Tobirama-san…"

"It´s in your hands to avoid tons of deaths and suffering, Please protect him and show him what love is like. You will safe him" the Sage´s disciple was silent, wondering what this man was talking about. He spoke as if those horrible events has already happened. Then he answered…

"I will do my best to keep him safe" he turned to the teen serious "And if I can´t do it… let´s just say that I know someone who will."
