Chapter 2. History repeats

She wished there'd be ramen. Taking a small nibble of Yubu(Fried tofu) Sushi Naru thought it's not that bad, though the taste of it seemed somewhat in lack of spicy than that had once been her life in Konohagakure. It's not that bad, She thought again, I just wish they're gone. Which disturbed her were not the Yubu sushis, but the weary faces of servantesses around the table she was on, watching her every movement with a nervous tense.

What the hell?

For first few seconds Naru was busy swallowing five sushis to fulfill her hunger, then as her hunger slowly dying away, she began to notice the people's weary, tensed stare upon her every movement, obviously worrying if the food suited her.

Frustrated Naru sighed inwardly. Of course half was her fault, but she hadn't been really expecting this kind of outcome. When she'd introduced herself as Fox God, she hadn't really believed that they would believe her. It was more like a light gamble, as she blurted carelessly being so unsure of this new world. But now the trigger was pulled. Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara…. They were all men of legend. Though she was actually facing with them here, she must not put her guard down, she must not underestimate them. Though what had happened in conference room had made most of Senju and Uchiha men to believe her as Fox God, Hashirama or Madara wouldn't take it that quickly. Her head began to ache again. So rather toughly she wiped her mouth with a napkin, stood from the table, and stormed out from the dining room, causing the servantess to exchange horrified glances.

She had a lot thing to think about.

"We all know that there'll be a banquet held by the end of the month." One of the elders of the clan pointed. "Which will gather all of our allied clans."

"If Inari-sama presents herself, the other clans will awe us even more."

Hashirama shook his head. "But do yo think it's-"

"Hashirama-sama, we understand your feelings on this matter, especially since it concerns Madara-sama. But the Senju clan should be the leaders of this land, therefore we must show Uchiha and other clans something, especially when Goddess herself has advent for you."

"Yeah, stop minding about that bastard clan." Tobirama blurted, snorting, causing his elder brother to glare.

"I told you, never talk about Uchihas in that way."

"Yeah?! What's so wrong about it?!" Tobirama glared back, scowling hard.

"..." Hashirama merely sighed.

Their cousins were not helping anyway. Oh youngsters. They're all just busy talking about how hot 'Fox God' was, with that typically stupid, single-minded expression on their faces. All disciplines were suffering. Senju clan was as a hive disturbed by a strange wasp, the way young men were disturbed by an errant woman in their midst;

"Life is good-! Life is… fantastic! Life is.. full of miracles!"

"She's hot! She's smoking hot!"

"Why didn't she fall on my stomach?! Ahuhu-"

"ENOUGH OF YOUR RUBBISH!" Hashirama yelled, finally, at his brother and cousins, losing his temper.

Then a silence resumed for a while till a door of conference room slid opened rashly.

"Hashirama-sama! Hashirama-sama!"

"Now what?!" He yelled again when one of the servants came running nearly sobbing behind his sleeves.

"She-She's gone! Fox God is gone!" The servant cried tearfully.

...

Dumbfounded silence fell in the conference room.

Naru walked soundlessly during the trip through the village. She was surprised to see a number of strange looking people. Most of the occupants in here looked to have dark hair and dark eyes. In Konoha people had been with colorful hairs and eyes, some even having weird pink hue like Haruno Sakura. But here there was hardly anyone who looked like that.

Everywhere she looked there were towers with the Vajra mark of Senju clan or Redfan mark of Uchiha clan.

She looked to the mountainside where was yet to have sculptures of Hokages. It seemed like it was around the time upon the foundation of Konoha, right before electing the leader of village and settling out all those laws and systems.

The air cooled. A breeze picked up, blowing feathery kisses on her cheeks. She narrowed her eyes as she looked to the place where it's supposed to be Valley of the end.

Titan sculptures of Shodaime and Uchiha Madara were yet to be built there. All there were dark forest and a lake beneath the deck of valley.

Blades of leaves crowed as she flew pass the canopy and walked into the forest. She followed the curve of the valley, to stop her pacse when she heard someone speaking behind a pack of tall bamboo trees.

"Aw- Stop that! Give it to me!"

"Let me do it, I can do it!"

Naru blinked when she recognized the spiky dark hairs of Uchihas. The brothers perked from their sittings as she'd literally shushined in front of them.

"Wo...w." The elder brother moaned, while the younger widened his eyes and shouted happily; "Wow, Inari-Sama!"

Naru gulped as she contemplated blankly at this unexpected encounter. There was a bunch of firewoods in front of their feet. Obviously they'd been trying to make a campfire or whatsoever here.

"What are you doing here?" She could not help asking, the expressions on these Uchihas' faces were indescribably comical.

"Nii-san and I were trying to make a campfire." Izuna explained twinkling his dark eyes playfully as he held her arm with his hand without any nervousness and pulled her to sit beside them. "Join us, Inari-sama!"

"Izuna." Madara knitted his brow little at his brother, with an embarrassed smile hung on his lips.

"Why? She came to look for us by herself, so we should welcome her. What an honor!"

"Izuna-"

"Nii-san, I don't want to join Tobirama in hell!"

Madara sighed, and Naru sighed, too, though inwardly. She almost flinched when Madara turned and looked straight to her, his dark eyes reminding her of Itachi and Sasuke.

"Forgive us, Inari-sama, my brother is-" He slurred the end of his sentence, making another embarrassed smile.

"Uhm, it's ok." She mumbled, not knowing what to say.

Just then Izuna sprang on his feet, "I'll go and get more firewoods!" Then he rushed into the forest, causing Naru to sweatdrop. Surely the guy resembled Sasuke a lot, but his actions were completely different from that of Sasuke.

And to see the man with a face of Sasuke acting like a hyper-sugar rush kid made her so disgusted, even causing nausea. Yuck.

Clumsy silence fell between her and the elder Uchiha for a while.

Calm down, idiot! You shouldn't show your embarrassment to this horrific Uchiha! Scolding herself Naru tried to maintain her coolness as she felt a long stare from Madara.

"May I ask what you're doing here?"

Naru whipped her head to glare at the Uchiha, her long golden hair hitting her face like a whiplash. "What?"

"Ah, forgive me," He stammered a bit. "I-I just heard from my brother that you're looking for your lost pet, so I just wondered... If it's your only purpose here in this land."

"..." Naru said nothing. She just kept her glare to the Uchiha.

"You don't have to answer me-" The Uchiha ran his pale hand through his spiky hair. "I just wonder if you have something for ... Senju clan. You know, the people are talking..."

"..."

Still without words, she focused on Madara's face. Still young, almost still a boy, so young and ambitious. In a close future, he'd lose his head and turn his back from the newfound village and his own clan.

Sitting there, looking at the Uchiha clan head, a sudden thought entered her, its entrance like a red thread in the muddled water of her mind.

Kill him.

She went still, for a while disbelieving. But the thought crooned, its voice a sweet seduction.

Kill him.

She breathed in, leaning lightly toward the Uchiha. She could smell the man's breath now, hear the pump of his heart. On her neck, the vein stood out, glistened with sweat.

Kill him!

That was it! It was this oaf. It was this bastard's fault. If he'd just stopped wishing for all the spotlights. If he'd just abandoned his own greedy ambition and hadn't turn his back from the village. If he hadn't provoked Obito, Itachi and Sasuke...!

Kill him, finish his miserable life here, spill his blood...!

"Nii-san! Heeeeeeeeeeelp!"

Naru nearly jumped up, broken from her reverie as if some kind of strange spell that had been looming into her had broken. Madara stood on his feet and changed his eyes, alerted. Soon the bushes behind them parted into two and Izuna darted out, toward his brother, almost crying; "Heeeelp! It's so scary!"

"What's wrong?!"

"Ca.. Caterpillar! it's on my neck! Awww!"

Madara turned pale at the word. He took a small step backward from his brother. "You idiot! Why did you bring it here?!"

"I can't take it off it's so scary! Help!"

"DON'T come closer!"

"What are you doing? Take it off!" Naru yelled at the brothers, forgetting all her previous dilemma at the silly chaos.

"I HATE caterpillars!" cried Madara.

"I'm SCARED!" cried Izuna.

"You're men! You're supposed to be brave you psychotic idiots!"

"Being a man doesn't make me love caterpillars!"

"Help! God, help me!" Izuna knelt in front of her feet.

Naru took a deep breath from her sitting position, and, pressing an urge to beat the shit out of this idiotic Sasuke-looking boy, she grabbed the giant caterpillar and threw it away.

Peaceful silence fell upon them, at last.

"Whoa... such a horror." Izuna rubbed the back of his neck where the horrible caterpillar had been clung onto. He then looked up at Naru and smiled as naively as newborn babe. "Arigato Gojaimas, Inari-sama!"

Naru could not help flinching when she looked closely at his large dark orbs, which were twinkling with pure innocence she'd never seen in Sasuke's eyes; This boy was exactly an 'innocent version' of Sasuke. Her heart began to shake with a pity.

"Th-thanks." Madara also thanked her, still shivering as he stared at the direction where she'd thrown the worm away. "Such a horrible creature..."

"Shut up, Nii-san! Every creature has its own purpose, don't enrage God!"

"Oh, sorry." Madara indeed shut his mouth. Izuna placed his pale, scarred hands onto Naru's laps_ which resembled a pose of puppy putting his feet on its master's laps, and smiled happily.

Naru began to sweatdrop. What the fuck-

"You're here."

Naru turned around to see Hashirama standing behind them.

"Were you looking for me or your Fox lady?" Madara asked to his friend, his voice putting a strange humor.

Hashirama grinned. "The lady of course."

"You blaspheme." Izuna accused the two.

Naru tensed when Hashirama turned and looked straight at her. "We've been looking for you." He explained, his brown eyes studying her face carefully. "The servant said you'd just disappeared... But now I see that you had a matter with my Uchiha friends."

"She knew that danger was coming onto us and saved us in the end." Izuna spoke eagerly, causing the head of Senju clan to widen his eyes. "A danger? What was it?"

"Uh, yeah," Naru blurted sardonically, "A great danger caused by a caterpillar."

...

Pressing a chuckle at the expression on Madara's face Hashirama looked back at the blonde clearing his throat.

"Well, Inari-sama... if you still have something to do with my friends, I guess-"

"-You can come back to our compound." The sentence ended in a strange way by a third person who'd just appeared beside Hashirama like a flash.

"Tobi?" Hashirama blinked at his brother.

"Yeah, me. Why are you with them?" Tobirama asked to Naru, pointing at the Uchiha brothers.

Naru knitted her brow at the hardness in younger Senju's voice. What the hell?

Madara was about to interrupt, but Izuna voiced first. "You don't have any right to stop her from seeing us if she wishes." The younger Uchiha smiled then_ a wide, yet strangely sarcastic smile, which was bit shocking for Naru to witness.

Tobirama's red eyes froze icily. He stepped toward Izuna, murmuring in undertone. "If she wishes? Listen to me, I don't care about what's on your filthy mind, but don't you dare try to deprive the favor of-"

"Tobirama!" Hashirama intervened, but the younger Senju barked back at him. "Shut up, you nominal fool!"

"Izuna, let's go home." Madara muttered to his own brother, annoyed though, still wanting to evade a clash as much as Hashirama did. But Izuna didn't move, and was still glaring deadly back at Tobirama, still smiling.

The elder brothers exchanged embarrassed looks.

Meanwhile, Naru watched this unfold with a sort of shameful horror. There could had been anger too but she wasn't sure. She didn't even understand why she was feeling irritated. It took her about a minute to realize the reason.

These 'boys'_ she couldn't even address them as men_ were reminding her of the misery that had been in her whole life; The infinite clash between Konoha's big brother's and Uchiha's, which had eventually driven Itachi to pathetic death, and Sasuke to lose his head, thus starting a new painful era... Fuck, she felt really sick at it. These idiots! All She wanted to do, right there, was to beat the living shit out of these two immature boys. Yeah, motherfucking boys!

"I should have finished you earlier." Whispered Tobirama to his opponent.

"So scary." Replied Izuna giggling.

"Stop fucking smiling like that, you hypocritical trash-"

"Tobirama, Shut up!" Hashirama and Madara shouted altogether angrily.

"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!" A sudden loud, thunder like holler caused all four men to almost jump up. Gulping, they all turned, to face with an enraged-looking female, whose blue eyes were now crimson red of Fox's they'd witnessed earlier, a murderous aura whirling around her.

The four men gulped again, sweatdropping. Tobirama tried to say something, only to quickly shut his mouth at her gruesome holler.

"WHO DO YO THINK YOU ARE, STUPID TEENAGE GIRLS?! IF YOU DON'T STOP IRRITATING EACH OTHER I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE AND THROW BOTH OF YOU TO HELL! NOW APOLOGIZE TO EACH OTHER LIKE A BUNCH OF GOOD GIRLS!"

Dumbfounded, shocked silence fell upon the forest. Hashirama dumbly glanced at Madara, who was dropping his jaw, then, realizing that he's also gaping, he quickly shut it. Their younger brothers were gaping as well, frozen in their places.

It was Izuna who broke the silence few seconds later. "..S...Skinned alive and stuck in hell..? That's.. That's so horrible!" Bursting into tears he threw himself to his elder brother's arms. Madara dumbly patted his shoulder, not knowing what else to do.

"I...I...I was just..." Trying hard to fight with words Tobirama pleaded, unconsciously taking a small step backward at the ferocious look on Fox God's face. "Eh..I mean...You know..."

"I SAID APOLOGIZE!" The blonde hollered, for one last time again, causing both Tobirama and Izuna to turn toward each other immediately, nearly trembling.

"I'm sorry." They bowed to each other simultaneously.

Hashirama quickly turned to his friend. "I'm sorry, Mada-kun. My brother's, eh, you know, he's so hard to treat.."

"Hard to treat?" Madara blinked, still gaping. "I think he's very easy to treat." He then pointed at the younger Senju who's making a sheepish look on his face while the blonde was constantly nagging him.

Hashirama blinked back. A strange tension flowed between the heads of each clan, till soon both of them began to giggle helplessly.

"What's so funny?!" Tobirama yelled at them, flushing. Izuna was still sniffling like a heart-wounded child.

Suddenly Naru whirled around like a whiplash, leaving the place ahead. The men left behind exchanged perplexed looks, then soon Hashirama began to chase after the blonde. Tobirama also followed them, and before he took his leave, he sent a deadly glare to the Uchihas. Izuna raised his middle finger and shook it at him.

The character's ages are: Naru 16 years old, Hashirama and Madara 23 years old, Tobirama and Izuna 20 Years old.

If you can, please write a review. I'm really looking forward to know what you really think of it.
