Elza here, the team planning is set, Izumi is set to survive, Itachi's fate is unknown. The fic's main frame has been thought out. And all that is left is to write is down. Which is hard T.T, I hope I don't change directions again after this.
It is because I've found a shitty loop hole that can be used in this type of fic, if and only if the reincarnated person is Tobirama reincarnated into an Uchiha.
It's time to begin year 6, realization.
Disclaimer, I don't own naruto, and this fic is purely fanworks, so all legal credits still goes to Masashi Kishimoto, and credits for idea still goes to Reader06
Realization ( Year 6)
6 Years since I've been reborn and I already sensed my end. The relation between Uchiha and Konoha had been stranded so badly, that a slaughter fest started by any side is bound to happen anytime soon.
Ascertaining the situation had made me rush my preparation and training. My chakra reserves had become a low leveled chuunin level and my chakra control is good enough to utilize it in actual combat.
As I had researched, the number of B rank and above mission taken by the Uchiha clan has dropped lower than ever, Infact the only B rank taken are taken by Itachi and another Uchiha named Shisui. He seems to be a cousin. Since my interaction with any uchiha beside mother and Izumi are limited, I don't have any info about him.
From what is heard around the uchiha only suffer about 5/6 casualties during the kyuubi incident. Assuming they are not helping by the numbers. There can only be one conclusion.
Yes. The Uchihas are gearing for rebellion.
If there is any meaning to my reincarnation, perhaps it is to stop the rebellion, even if it kills me.
The Hiraishin No Jutsu is battle ready, although Kuchiyose : Edo tensei is still too farfetched to be used, I can probably get some sacrifices on the battlefield when the time comes.
Although my fire releases are now stronger, Uchihas are resilient to flames, throwing a kunai may kill them better than burning them.
And my water releases
…
To stop an uchiha rebellion using a 6 years old body. My end is near alright.
\(o)/
Thinking back, I really didn't do much here. All that 6 years has done may have somewhat soften me. Being an uchiha may have done something to my emotions. Happiness, fear, anger, sadness, I felt them more in the past 6 years, much deeper and much stronger then when I was Tobirama.
The end is near.
"Saru, you must protect those who have faith in you and those who love the village, and train up to those to whom you can entrust the next generation… from tomorrow, you will be the Hokage…!"
"But sensei…!" Sarutobi's face is filled with sadness
"Our situation is critical, there is no way backup will even reach in time. So I guess this will it, there is no way out unless somebody decide to be a decoy"
"….."
"Now go, I'll hold them off"
At the very least, the death of a ninja leader will stop their advance and allow them to celebrate. At the very least the conflict will enter a brief stop, and the leaf village will have time to recuperate and have Saru does his part as a new Hokage
Just like that time, the feeling, I wonder how much time I have left. Is there anything I can do? Me, the one who is suppose to be dead and expired eaten by the earth?
And then I fought, until an enemy shinobi manages to hit my blind spot during the conflict. Alas I have no support, so there is no way I can regain the upper hand at this rate, I guess I'll just take as many as I can with me.
"Suiton : Suijinheki", and this too "Raiton dan : Ibuki"
With that I've manage to retire at least 20, How many died though. The more dead, the less Konoha will have to deal with them later, so I guess it is fine too. And now I'm out of chakra, Out of ammunition, there is an option to do Hiraishin before, but then the others will not make it back alive, now that they are out of range, my chakra had just have to run out. I suppose it is fate to die today. Not that I have any regrets or anything.
"Curse you Tobirama Senjuu!"
"Die"
"ugh"
At the end of the day I will just die again.
I feel afraid. So this is fear. I suppose this is normal, the mental of a 6 years old. I am by the end of the day, nothing more than a 6 years old.
Remembering that scene now…. Pointless beyond doubt. After all, people die when they are killed. There is no reason to believe otherwise.
It is perhaps, a twist made by god, a prank, or just a mere chance…
"Izuna?"
Who is that?
"Izuna? Why are you spacing out"
That voice belongs to naruto.
And the one before, Izumi?
"What is wrong? If you have some problems then tell us about it. You said the most important thing about being a ninja is teamwork right. If we work together then all problems can be solved." Naruto said it in a way just like Hashirama would have said.
"there is no need to keep it bottled up, right? If you need more training, then I will help as much as I can. Heck If I'm not enough I had no doubt that Naruto will be able to keep up with you in stamina." Izumi said in an almost identical cheerfulness.
They are here, aren't they.
Happiness. Something worth protecting. Something that needs peace to survive.
'to protect them, to bring peace into this land, for that one day, our children may spend their day in peace, that is the will of fire'
Something so simple….
Yes if there is anything that I can do. It is to protect them, to nurture them, to keep the will of fire strong. That is what you would have done. Right, brother?
"Naruto….Izumi….lets train" I said. In this limited time, I will do what I can to keep the will strong, even when it means the end of me. I don't care how many times I have to face it. [To protect the will of fire]. It was the nindo entrusted to me back then, and will still be, until the end of every ends. It is my duty, as the second hokage.

Aannnd cut. Guess that's the end of the sixth chapter. And the next one is about the massacre/rebellion. The stage is set, now it's time for the actors and actresses to play.
Elza-out.
