"Nii-san" Ashura called, stepping out of his big brother's window.
"What is it, Ashura?" Indra asked, not even looking at the younger Ootsutsuki.
"Can you do some sparring with me?" Ashura asked enthusiastically, already used to the cold tone of Indra.
Indra was silent for a while, then he looked up at the sky.
"Wait outside for me for a minute" he finally said. Ashura's smile grew really big. It was a rare chance for him to spar with his brother without begging much.
"Alright!" Ashura nodded and went back. But before he could go to Indra's room, he glanced back at his brother.
"Umm... Which outside did you mean, Nii-san? It's already outside.." Ashura tilted his head.
Indra flinched
Long silence
"Ashura, who told you that you could go in and out my room freely?"
"You're avoiding my question?"
"..You wanna die?"
"Ermmm Nope! Not yet... Sorry!"
And with that, Ashura quickly jumped in Indra's room and rushed outside (in front of the main door)
Indra took a single, quick glance at his younger brother, and looked back at the sky.
"What s troublesome little brother" he said with a little, almost transparent smile.
.
"How is it goin'?" Naruto asked as the black haired boy walked closer
"He agreed with it!" Ashura said, smiling from ear to ear.
"That's good!" Hashirama also smiled.
"You better give it your all" Hiruzen said.
"Isn't it a little too early? I mean.. If the power difference is big, then... OUCH!" The Six Hokages smacked the Sixth Hokage.
"mm...please don't mind what he just said.." Minato said, smiling weakly.
"Yeah... that's right" Tsunade grabbed Kakashi's hand. Hard.
"Oy, Tsunade-hime... You're breaking my arm. Seriously" Kakashi tried to release his hand.. And failed miserably.
The others said some encouraging words to Ashura, trying to gain his confidence.
Then, Indra came. He looked serious, but the chakra didn't felt flowing from him much.
"Let's start then, my otouto?"
"Yeah, Nii-san!"
.
.
In a dark, empty room, sat and old man with his weapon beside him. Not a thing or a sound to be seen or heard. Just simply empty.
The old man opened his eyes in realization.
"So they finally came.."
.
.
Ashura was thrown into a huge tree. He bumped to it, and fell to the ground with a loud thump.
"Ah, he lost" Hiruzen said, full of worry. Tsunade quickly went to Ashura's side and checked on him.
He lost his consciousness and his eyes were spinning. Most likely because his head fell first.
"He is okay... More or less" Tsunade informed the others, who sighed in relief.
Indra stared at the group. His face expressionless. Then, he walked to them.
"It's 8 minutes" he said.
The others put in a confused face. What did that mean?
Indra stared at them for a little while, and turned around, walking away.
"That's twice as the time when we last sparred in hand-to-hand combat. Not bad" was his last sentence before disappearing.
The Hokages looked at each other. Then they expressions turned into one full of satisfication.
Maybe Ashura's efforts were paid off, after all.
.
Indra walked into the house. He was greeted by maids along the way to the garden. He had received an information about the garden being trashed by some people, and he was planning on finding who they were. And maybe made them pay if he had to.
When he reached there, he took a look around, scanning the place. He was surprised to feel the chakra which was still remained there.
It was the 7 mysterious guests who Ashura took to the house. He would surely ask them about it. And they better not try to lie in this one.
And the 7 other chakra... Were really, really familiar.
.
.
"Welcome back, Hagoromo-sama" a certain woman greeted to the head of Ootsutsuki Clan.
"I'm really sorry we are late to greet you. Please forgive us" she said again, and bowed together with her friends.
The old man just looked at them, and sighed.
"It is not a problem" he said. Then, he realized something.
"What did you do? You all have some new wounds and look tired" he asked.
The people in front of him flinched a little. They were wearing clothes which covered their entire body. How could the man realize it? Well, he was simply really sharp.
"You don't have to mind it, Hagoromo-sama" one of the people said
"Yeah, just some brats who got in our way.. Ouch!" One of them said again, but he was hit by the others.
"Brats? Who exactly do you mean?" Hagoromo asked, his eyes glaring. Now they really couldn't get away from it..
"It was..." The one who seemed to be the leader gulped. She didn't know if she had to answer or lie. But sadly, lying wasn't an option in front of the mighty man.
She took a soft breath, and finally said.
"It was just some guests"
.
.
"Wow. You really are good at it, huh?" Ashura looked at his leg which was being treated by Tsunade's medical jutsu.
"Of course I am!" Tsunade said proudly.
"She has to heal her personality first though- ARRGGHHH"
The poor Hiruzen was sent flying somewhere.
"Somebody else laugh at that?" Tsunade glared, dangerous aura around her. The before-laughing Naruto immediately closed his mouth. Actually, he was going to comment the same as Hiruzen. But luck was on his side that Hiruzen said that first.
Tsunade went back to treat Ashura's wound, who was trembling a little after seeing her superhuman power.
'What a really nice student..' Kakashi thought sarcastically.
The 8 of them ( if Hiruzen wasn't thrown too far) were in the forest. Since Ashura knew what happened to them, he decided to help and tried to find any clue about the answer to their problem. And they came to the forest cause that was the place where they first appeared at that time.
But after a while, they became bored, and decide to just play around, enjoying the nature.
"Let's play, Tobirama!" Hashirama invited his younger brother cheerfully.
"Play what?" The white haired boy asked, knowing they couldn't play anything that would harm the forest.
"How about staring contest?" Minato suggested. The siblings gave him a confused face.
"Well, it's a game where you stare at each other until one of you blink. The one who blink first is the loser" Minato explained in the simplest way. Of course the two who were born and grew up in the war era wouldn't know that.
"The point is not to blink, right?" Hashirama smirked.
"Then that's easy" Tobirama smiled evilly. Maybe they thought it was going to be interesting.
"Alright, then..."
Hashirama and Tobirama sat in front of each other. Eyes still closed.
"Start!" Minato commanded, and the siblings opened their eyes and started to stare.
The others observed them closely.
"I think they are changing the game into glaring contest" Kakashi commented, looking at them.
"Yeah... They look too serious" Tsunade sweatdropped.
"I'm curious until when they will last" Minato said
"Aren't we suppose to help Sandaime?" Kakashi asked the others with a bored tone
"Nope. He will be alright" Minato answered with a smile. The others nodded
"I have a feeling you guys just want to look how the contest goes.."
3 minutes passed
"They really are serious... Aren't they?"
4 minutes passed
5 minutes passed
"Oy... They haven't been moving since then..."
7 minutes passed
8 minutes passed
"Are they even breathing?"
9 minutes passed
10 minutes passed
11 minutes passed
"Is there really someone who can endure to not to blink for more than 10 minutes?"
12 minutes passed
15 minutes passed
"My granduncle's eyes are already red... Maybe he will lose"
"Those are red from the start"
"Oh, right"
18 minutes passed
20 minutes passed
"Are they alright? They are like a freakin' statue!" Ashura said loudly. The others startled.
"Statue?"
"That can't be..."
The Hokages grabbed the First and Second Hokage.
"These.. These are..." They found what they saw unbelievable.
"What.. The.."
"JUST CLONES?!".
Alright. So.. After understanding the point of the game, Hashirama and Tobirama thought of the same to use clone instead of their true self. And meanwhile, they would be hiding somewhere, observing the situation and waiting for the time they would win.
They were sure they would win with that straregy. But none of them did, in the end.
