Chapter 2: Break Up Part 1
Writer's Note:
Graphic descriptions of domestic disputes, alcohol abuse, and angsty masturbation. Let's all be uncomfortable together with our favorite White Demon and Orange Kitsune.

Naruto did not feel well. In fact, she was hung over – very hung over.
It was a rare thing for her to be hung over. She had been drinking since she was 14 and she had the extra boost of Kurama to filter out most of the booze from her blood.
It was only when she was trying to get drunk, did she get drunk.
She had also been quite internally anti-social and asked for Kurama to give her some space.
It was her third day staying at the Uchiha compound and was the first time in a very long time that she went to bed without a man next to her. She bit back tears as they began seeping out of her eyes. Memories of the previous week came back to her.
Her head felt like someone had taken an axe to it. She laid on the bed with her knees up and felt a familiar pulsing sensation and wetness through her panties.
Her eyes weren't the only things crying.
She hissed.
"Fucking God."
Taking a second to weigh her options, she decided she had nothing left to lose.
Making sure that Kurama had gone to sleep, she put up a mental barrier between the two of them, so it was just her in her mind. She pulled off her wet panties with one hand and spread her legs open. A week ago, she would have spread her thighs open for the man she loved.
Today she would have to just settle for the ghost of him.
She closed her eyes and slipped the fingers of her right hand into her pussy, finding her swollen clit - begging to be touched. Her eyes opened but she couldn't see through the tears.
She closed them again and saw red eyes and white hair.
It was then that she realized – she still had very much to lose.
She just didn't care anymore.

Last Week:
"You're ENGAGED!?" Naruto yelled. Her legs were shaking, and she couldn't stop the tears from coming out of her eyes. She hadn't felt a hole in her chest this big since Sasuke tore a Chidori through it.
Tobirama looked back at her with a mix of confusion and panic.
"Naruto, it's not what it looks like. I just told you it's a contract engagement. This was arranged before I was even born."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better!?" Naruto's normally loud voice had doubled the volume and her chakra was making the trees around them shake.
Tobirama had never seen her this angry before. He had never seen a woman this angry before. Hell, he had never seen a woman he loved this angry before.
Approaching her slowly with his hands up he didn't know what to say or do to calm her down. Seeing the anger in her face not going away he felt fear spread in his heart.
"Naruto...I love you." Was all he could make out.
"FUCK YOU!"
Naruto was practically screaming now. Unable to contain his own emotions, Tobirama shouted back:
"Will you PLEASE just CALM DOWN and talk to me like an ADULT!"
Naruto was slowly backing away from him. When he was close enough to see the look in her eyes, his blood ran cold.
She was afraid of him.
"Naruto, please just tell me what's wrong, PLEASE!?"
"What's wrong!? What's fucking WRONG!? Is that all you have to say?! You're FUCKING ENGAGED to some FUCKING PRINCESS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT!"
Tobirama stopped trying to approach her, seeing that it was only making things worst.
"Naruto, like I told you this contract was in place before I was even born. All noble families engage in this practice. It doesn't mean the marriage will happen, it's simply a formality..."
"Then how come you never told me about this!? How long was I supposed to be your MISTRESS!" She was biting her teeth not to let Kurama's chakra leek out. Inside he was screaming at her to get it together and for the first time in a very long time – she screamed back at him to leave her alone.
Tobirama was at a loss for words.
"A mistress? Naruto, we've been through this before. I LOVE YOU! You have NEVER been a mistress. Darling, I love you and only you. I've asked you to marry me multiple times!"
Tobirama was starting to understand why she was so upset now. "Naruto, I apologize. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, I shouldn't have assumed you understood these matters reserved for nobility."
That wasn't the best way to put it.
"OHHH I'm sorry YOUR HIGHNESS. I'm sorry an ignorant, lowly whore like ME wouldn't understand your culture of nobility!"
Chakra claws were starting to form around her hand and for a second Tobirama thought she might attack him.
Her verbal assaults and accusations were starting to incite him, and the anger was starting to bubble up in his chest, but he knew if he lost himself it would make the situation worst.
Tobirama Senju never thought he would ever be so terrified of a woman that he would rather be on the battlefield in the middle of a war facing down an Uchiha instead.
"So, I was just an OPTION for you? If it didn't work out with me, you would have another marriage lined up!? Is that why the elders hate me so much!? Is that why Saki and the other noble girls won't stop messing with me!?"
Tobirama hissed.
"Naru...it's not the way you're making it out to be. I told you, I asked you to marry me multiple times, and I never pushed to respect YOUR wishes."
"Don't you DARE put this on me! What else have you "neglected" to tell me? How many other women think they are in line to marry you? Do you have bastard children running around you didn't tell me about!?" Naruto spat at him with a level of vitriol he had never seen before.
"STOP IT! Stop it with this nonsense. We've been through this before Naru. We were friends before we became lovers, you know that is NOT the type of man I am! And you're one to talk about keeping secrets. Do you take me for a fool Naruto? Don't you think I know it's YOU who is leaving out half the story? I don't know what happened in your past, or who hurt you, or what made you like this but you sure as hell won't tell me! And I don't push you because I'm trying to give you the space you ask for! Even when you're lying next to me after we MAKE LOVE, I can STILL feel you hiding holding back!"
It was his turn to shout.
Stunned silent by his stinging words Naruto only stared at him with eyes wide, arms hanging, and mouth open.
Tobirama kicked himself as he knew instantly that he had been too harsh.
Throwing whatever manly pride he had aside, he begged;
"Naru, my love...I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that...please just let me explain..."
She had stopped moving – and that freighted him more than anything. He moved in to hold her face and plant a kiss on her lips, but he was met with no response.
Naruto simply pushed him away.
"Tobirama." Her voice was flat and devoid of the life, sweetness, and sunshine he had fallen in love with.
She also hadn't called him by his full name since the first week they met 2 years ago.
"I told you this was a bad idea. I told you it would never work out. This was a mistake. I'm sorry..."
His heart was breaking as she spoke, and he felt his body freeze solid. She looked at him with so much pain in her eyes. He hated this so much, and he hated himself for being the one to make her cry.
She raised her right hand to touch his face and leaned up to kiss him on the lips for what he feared would be the final time.
Without opening her eyes, she pulled off the ring he gave her for her 20th birthday with her left hand and placed it in his palm.
Tobirama could only stare with eyes wide as his world was crumbling.
She turns her back on him and began walking away. But not before she looked over her shoulders:
"I don't want to do this anymore. It was fun while it lasted but I can't do this anymore. Tobi, I might be a reckless whore who can't keep my legs closed...but I've never been a home wrecker. They were all right...a lowly commoner like me has no right to keep you to myself..."
Naruto turned to face him one last time.
"When you leave for your trip to the Capitol..."
He was on the verge of collapse.
"Naruto...please...don't do this...please, I need you."
Tobirama couldn't fight the tears forming in his eyes. The first time he felt tears since his brother Itama died.
"...Aishiteru...I love you..." He choked weakly.
Naruto's face contorted in pain before tears fell like rain from her eyes again.
"And I'll always love you."
He felt his heart skip a beat.
"But this is the end, Tobi. Please. Do your duty and marry that princess."
His heart stopped again.
"Don't you DARE tell me what MY DUTY is!" Tobirama roared.
"I NEVER tell you what to do, so why the FUCK are you telling me what to do!? Do you think I WANT to marry some princess I've never met? I already told you; I want YOU! You're the only wife I want!
Before he could stop himself, Tobirama spat:
"Do you think I ENJOY this Naru? Any of this? My entire life has been filled with loss in the name of DUTY. I've lost almost everything I've loved; I've spent my entire life serving my clan and supporting my brother's dream. But what about me? Nobody asks me what TOBIRAMA wants."
Her eyes went wide.
His voice softened and his vision became blurry. "Naruto...you're the ONLY thing I've ever wanted."
Silence.
Naruto stepped back and turn her back to him. He could see her gathering chakra to her feet. She was going to leave and there was nothing he could do about it.
He finally lost it.
"FINE! FINE! If that's what you want, then I'll marry the Goddamn princess!"
His lips were bleeding from the biting and his chakra began shaking the water by the river – the river where they first made love.
Naruto couldn't look at him.
"Naruto...from the beginning, I've only ever given you want you wanted. I told you I would do ANYTHING for you, and I meant it...and so if this is what will make you happy, I'll MARRY A WOMAN I DON'T LOVE."
Tobirama felt himself dig his own grave as he spoke. There was a moment of silence and absolute stillness.
"I won't be here when you come back."
"WHAT!? What do you mean?! Where are you going?! You can't just get up and leave!" Tobirama cried.
'I'll be leaving for a while. I might go to Uzo to stay with Mito or to stay with Madara."
At the sound of Madara's name, Tobirama's chakra split the nearby tree in half.
"When will you stop running away?"
For a couple of moments, Naruto stayed silent, taking in his bitter words.
"Goodbye."
And with that, she was gone.
And he was alone.
He stood there for what had to be a couple of minutes, his body and mind still processing what had happened. When realization finally hit him, he sunk to his knees. He gripped Naruto's ring in his hand while hyperventilating. Tears flowed like a waterfall down his face.
It was past midnight and he felt so cold – colder than he had ever felt before.
Instead of making his way to the compound he teleported to the nearby cabin. He couldn't go back there now. He couldn't go back to the room they shared together – the room they had fought tooth and nail to be able to share together – because he knew she wouldn't be there.
He stepped foot into the cabin and immediately regret hit him.
He could still smell her scent.
"AHHHHH!"
He punched the table – the very table that held Naruto's body as he lost himself in her – in half.
Making his way to the kitchen he pulled out the largest bottle of sake they kept in the cabinets prepared to drown his sorrows away. He drank until his world was spinning.
Not bothering to undress he stumbled and fell forward on top of the bed, clinging to the blanket which still held her scent of honey, fire, water, and wind from two days ago when they last spent the night in this cabin together.
He stared at the ceiling while the moonlight was shining through the windows. Memories, sensations, thoughts, feelings, and emotions crashed onto him like a hurricane.
"Kami, help me. What have I done?" He whispered before his vision turned black.
And that was how Hashirama found him the next morning.
"Tobi..." His brother whispered gently while handing him a bottle of water.
"Anija..." His speech was still slurring.
His eyes widened in panic. He couldn't feel Naruto's chakra anymore.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" Tobirama screamed before shooting up and falling off the bed.
"Little brother...please calm yourself." Hashirama had never seen his brother like this before. It must have been one hell of a breakup.
"Anija...where is she?! Her chakra is so low, I can't tell where she is!"
He tried to get up, but his brother pushed him back down.
"Little brother...you can't feel her because she asked me to hide her from you...she left this morning."
"WHAT!?" Tobirama screamed.
She doesn't want you to follow her little brother. I don't know what exactly went down between the two of you...but she was determined to leave, and I couldn't stop her."
'What do you mean, you're the ONLY one who could stop her! Anija – please tell me she's safe!?"
Tobirama was looking at his brother with the eyes of a man gone mad. Hashirama patted his brother on the back gently.
"Let her go Tobi...she needs time to herself."
"How long did she say she would be gone for?" Tobirama asked pathetically.
Hashirama looked uncomfortable. "...At least a couple months..."
"And you just let her go off by herself!?" Tobirama shouted.
"...Tobi..."
At the soft look on his brother's face, Tobirama buried his face in his hands mind still spinning.
"Anija – I fucked up. I fucked up so bad...and now the woman I love is gone..."
Not sure how to comfort his little brother Hashirama simply offered Tobirama more water.
Tobirama was shaking, fighting to hold back the tears coming back with vengeance.
"Let it out little brother...just let it out..." Hashirama whispered gently.
And for the first time in their lives, Hashirama was the one to hold his younger brother Tobirama as he became undone.
XXX
Hashirama had left his younger brother at the cabin – willing to make up an excuse and keep the council elders off their case for the day. Tobirama was in no condition to facilitate meetings on clan finance today.
Tobirama laid still and silent on the bed for about another hour before taking off his shoes and moving towards the bathroom.
Looking at himself in the bathroom mirror he felt shame and dread in the pit of his stomach.
He looked like shit. He hissed and splashed water from the sink all over his face. Naruto's liberal mouth had rubbed off on him the first month in and he had no regrets.
Her mouth…he missed the sound of her voice so much. For a second, he saw what he might look like if anyone were to ever summon him back to life with his Edo Tensei.
Then an uncomfortable feeling in his pants called for his attention.
He groaned as his body felt as if this was the best time for this cock to growl at him with rage and hardness. He sank down to the floor and leaned his head back on the wall.
None of this was right. His body was accustomed to waking up with Naruto in his arms and his cock stood ready and dutifully to please his beauty in the mornings before they began their day. The anger and violent emotions were only fueling his rage erection even more.
Feeling extremely uncomfortable he tried to stumble back onto his feet before his eyes caught the sight of something that tore his insides to pieces.
In the corner of the small bathroom, he would see a pair of Naruto's panties laying on the floor.
"Kami, what have I done to deserve this?" He chuckled bitterly.
Perhaps all the years of killing in his shinobi career were catching up to him. Perhaps the Shinigami himself was punishing him for inventing the Edo Tensei and defying the natural order of the universe.
Crawling over to the corner he gently picked up the garment with both hands. These were one of her favorite pairs. Bright orange and satin, he had many memories of slipping these off her body before falling into a sea of bliss.
Bringing the garment up to his face he inhaled in her sweet womanly scent before he nearly collapsed to pieces again.
He had never felt this level of physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional assault on his being at the same time before.
He felt a hole where his heart should be, his body was freezing and burning at the same time, his head was splintering, his soul felt like it was forcefully pulled from his flesh, and his cock was raging pre-cum through his pants.
Finally giving into his body's urges he turned on the shower, pulled off his clothes, and stepped into the boiling hot water taking Naruto's panties with him.
Leaning his body against the wall with her panties still gripped in his left hand above his eyes, he began pumping his cock furiously.
"Naru…Naru…Naru.." He whispered with every stroke of his hand, his eyes covered with his left fist containing the only thing he had left to feel close to her.
He let his mind wander and fantasize about what he would not issues making a blood sacrifice to make a reality:
XXX
He saw Naruto's face in his mind.
In his mind he held her petite body in his arms, kissing away the tears off her face, comforting her as he whispered:
"I'm sorry….I'm sorry…please forgive me…"
Without the need for words, he lifted her body up and laid her body on the table pulling off her pants, running his hands up and down her shapely thighs, kissing every inch of her skin and leaving small bite marks which he licked away.
He could hear her small whimpers and he moved up to meet her face.
She looked back at him with stormy blue eyes and plump red lips quivering.
He kissed her eyes and moved down to her lips. He left small bites and licks on her lips begging her to open for him.
His red eyes bore into her communicating what his words couldn't.
Tears began forming in her eyes but after a small exhale, he felt her wrap her legs around him while she closed her eyes and went limp in his arms.
He trailed kisses down the side of her face, down her neck, gently opening her kimono-style top and caressing the sides of her breast.
Naruto whimpered and he could see her nipples hardening as he took them into his mouth, gently licking her with the tip of his tongue.
"Tobi…" Naruto whispered.
"Yes, my love?" His voice and eyes were hopeful.
She looked at him with eyes deeper than the ocean and he plunged so, so, deep.
She lifted her hand to his face, and he took her fingers into his mouth gently without breaking eye contact.
"Take me," Naruto whispered.
He kissed her hand.
"Thank you."
He moved slowly down her body till he reached the entrance of the only temple he ever wanted to worship at again. He pulled off her favorite orange satin panties and spread her open. He gently spread the folds of her pussy open and gave her clit a gentle lick which elicited a shiver. He stared at her opening for two seconds before diving his entire face inside her flesh.
She screamed his name.
XXX
Tobirama's red eyes flew open. He had been transported back to the present and he felt his cock about to burst any moment.
Narrowing his eyes to keep the water out, he continued to pump while gasping for air.
He was close.
His mind ran rapidly through images and memories of them. All the times they made love, all the intimate moments of friendship, of longing, of heartache – and of deep, deep love.
He saw himself buried inside her with her walls closing down on him, and oh did he never want to leave.
He saw images of her body in all the positions he had taken her in,
He heard her voice – her laugh, her cries of pleasure,
He saw her smile –
And he exploded in grief, loss, and love.
XXX
She laid in a puddle of her own juices, completely physically and emotionally drained. Staring up at the ceiling, the consequences of her actions began to hit her.
She was the one to end things. She told him to marry another woman and out of his desire to please her – he agreed.
Will this be what mornings feel like from now on? Alone and cold once again? She turned to her side not caring about the wetness of the sheets.
And she couldn't help but wonder.
Even when they were apart – would they still cum together?

Writer's Notes:
DRAMA! You thought it was going to be all cute and fluff? Nope, we're all going to be heartbroken before this series is done.
In terms of characterization:
Tobirama seems to me the ultimate ninja type but he's a water sign so deep underneath that iceberg is hot water superheated by a volcano. He fights hard and he loves hard. He has grief and trauma he never had the time to process because of the war. Same with Naruto. If you hadn't caught onto it by now Naruto has relationship trauma and was severely triggered. They're both also pseudo alcoholics. Also, they're both very young here with Naruto 20 and Tobi 24. Naruto has had her share of bad relationships which she hasn't healed from so she runs away, while this is Tobi's first real love and relationship so he clings because he can't lose another person he loves. And he's the type to follow through on his actions so he would be more than willing to make the sacrifice for Naru and marry the princess.
And what about Madara you ask? Well, you'll have to wait to find out in the next chapter!
These short stories will be repurposed and woven in during Repetition Mastery Complex so stay tuned.
