Chapter Two- Battles and Beaten Cousins
"You're going through with this?"Obito asked. He had been keeping an eye on his cousin, sure, before the war the last time he saw her, he was the one who ruined her life. Not that she knew it at the time, but he was the reason she was the way she was. "You know you can't take on Madara by yourself."
"I know," Mina told him. No one could, not even Hashirama, not anymore. Not since the man took his chakra. "Trust me. I know, but it has to be done. No one can beat him."
"Then how?"
"There's a seal. He's now breathing. So it should work."
"You'll die."
"No, no. Not that one, I can't stand that one."
"And you won't die."
"No. I will."
"Why?"
Mina only looked at him, before looking around her. It didn't even look like someone had lived there once, the trees were more or less gone. The rivers were starting to get dried, they were slowly killing the land. Killing something that could just stop, afterwards Hashirama could regrow everything, Tobirama could most likely deal with their water problem. "Obito look around us. Either I can die now, or I'll die in three months. The land is dying."
"And?"
"You're an idiot."
"Hey!"
"Hn."
"Kushina would hit you for that."
"I know. But she's not here."
"Sorry."
"No biggie."
Tobirama and Hashirama only looked at the two, they had convinced her to wait for the next day, so all of them rested. It looked like they had another tag along. Obito Uchiha, or his ghost at least. He had given some of his abilities to his team mate. Now Kakashi was the only non-Uchiha with the Sharingan. Well to have both eyes.
"So you're coming as well?" Obito asked a giant smile on his face. After all, Mina had less of a chance of using that seal. Not with both Hashirama and Tobirama there, they might try to use it themselves, but he had a feeling something was going to happen. "Well, cousin, I see you're in good hands. Come back, alive. Rin would kill me if you died."
"So that the love of your life and death doesn't kill you," Mina said, using the same tone Kushina did when she teased. "I sear not to die while you're around."
"Very funny. Kushina got to you more then I first thought."
"Very funny."
"You better get going! Come back, you hear me!"
Mina looked a the ruined earth, this land used to be Rain, but now it looked like everything else. Dead. Broken. Destroyed. She knew Madara was here, after all, both she and Tobirama sensed him. In the last six months she had learned to track Madara's chakra, hard not to.
"Hello, Madara," she softly said, her hand going to her sword. She only looked at around her, the other camp? They must have had the same idea as her, but they were gone. Her brother was died. He had killed Sasuke. "You bastard. You're going to pay for that."
"He was useless," Madara told her, a smile on his face. She didn't care, let her die. Let her be the one who closed the history books on the Uchiha clan. She no longer cared. "Why don't we dance."
