Chapter 1: The Hashiras Meeting
Chapter Text
Many, normally unwanted by him, glances were drawn to the Water Hashira as he walked calmly through the streets of Central City. He was known as the ‘nameless Hashira’ because no one knows his real name.
He spoke only a pseudonym when asked his name, ‘TS’. Many thought it was a strange alias, but they got used to it over time. His appearance is peculiar. He wears a black mask that covers half of his face, has snow-white hair and crimson red eyes like blood.
When he was first seen, it was at the ceremony to elect the new Water Hashira, everyone was surprised by his appearance, many thought he was a demon in disguise. But, over time, everyone got used to his silent presence, which always radiates calm and respect. Not much is known about his skills. As far as is known, he can use two breaths: Water and Thunder. But there are suspicions of more than just two. His sword have never been seen, they say it is because he is too fast to see the color.
"... How does he look like? ..."
It was the question that everyone had in mind, but it was never asked.
"Today is the meeting, I wish I could be absent, I have researches to do" Tobirama thought as he got ready to go to the house of his bosses, Hagaromo-sama, and his brother Hamura-sama. They were the leaders of the demon hunters, their clan was the leader of the hunters for countless generations.
As he headed for his leader's home, the albino felt two other Hashiras, a few feet behind him, heading for the same place. “I imagine it's Hashirama and Madara, they are always together. They seem to be glued to each other" he thought absently.
He arrived with Minato, the two had met on the way. They had the same sensei when they were teenagers, Namikaze was one of the only ones who knew his secret and the only one he trusted blindly, and vice versa. Soon, after long minutes, all the Hashiras were already present.
They were:
Hashirama Senju, the Hashira of Wood.
Madara Uchiha, the Fire Hashira.
Izuna Uchiha, the Hashira of the Wind.
Touka Senju, Hashira of the Mist.
Mito Uzumaki, the Flower Hashira.
Kushina Uzumaki, the Hashira of Sound.
Minato Namikaze, the Hashira of Thunder.
Orochimaru, the Hashira of the Serpent.
TS, the Water Hashira.
The Uzumaki, Uchiha and Senju clans had the most Hashiras in the history of demon hunters. Even though they still had Hashiras from other clans, these three were the most 'powerful', as people say.
Then, Hagaromo arrived with his brother, Hamura. All the Hashiras soon bowed, bowing to their leaders or their saviors, which was the case with some of them.
- My children, I am very happy that everyone is here today - Hagaromo said tenderly to the Hashiras, whom he considered as his own children. After everyone rose from their reverence, Hamura drew everyone's attention to a very important matter.
- As some of you may already know, Kaguya is moving - he spoke seriously, while everyone stiffened with such tension. Kaguya was the leader of the demons. Her appearance is a mystery, rumors say she has long white hair. But these are just inconsistent rumors.
- I imagined that would happen - TS, or rather, Tobirama, spoke up, breaking some of the gigantic tension. - I was studying the footsteps of the demons in my sector, they were preparing for something. I just didn't think it would be on that scale - he continued calmly.
“That's why I put you in charge of that sector, you are the most intelligent Hashira I have ever seen. I will trust your judgment” Hagaromo thought, looking tenderly at his protégé.
- I will trust your judgment TS, but I ask you to continue researching and studying the movements of demons. I want you to try to find out what they are going to do and when - Otsutsuki asked the albino, who just nodded in agreement.
- Mito, how is your research for the cure of demons? - Hamura asked Uzumaki. She took a deep breath and answered.
- We are making progress Hamura-sama. But not as much as I would like, I will need more time sir - Mito finished. She was tired, it was pretty obvious.
“I imagine that she is not sleeping much. She was always like that ”Hamura thought while looking at the redhead. She worked hard, but she didn't always get results when she was very tired.
- I'll try to ask for more help for you, we'll talk about it after the meeting. Understood? - Otsutsuki asked her. Who just nodded in agreement, she was relieved, at least she would have more help.
After the meeting, everyone gathered in the cafeteria for lunch. Tobirama and Minato were further apart, compared to the other Hashiras. They were talking quietly when they were surprised by a scream from Hashirama the scandalous one.
- I have an idea! - he said getting up from his chair because of the 'big' animation.
- And what would she be, Hashirama? Madara asked. Sarcasm quite obvious, but the tree that walks does not attract. How slow he was.
- How about we go to the hot springs? I think it would be nice if we could relax a little! - replied the brownish with enthusiasm. Tobirama sighed. That would be quite problematic. He just looked at Minato pleadingly, he definitely didn't want to go. Minato saw the look of his best friend and waved, after all, he knew that they had common problems with Izuna's endless attempts to see the albino's face.
- Sorry Hashirama-san, but TS and I are going to train together. We can't go - Namikaze apologized. The excuse would have worked if it weren't for Izuna, the nosy one.
- You can train tomorrow, and today go with us to the hot springs - Izuna said with a malicious smile. "I'm going to see your face and today is going to be a great opportunity for that!" he defined. Your inner child cackling with happiness.
"Shit" Tobirama's treatment, "If Hashirama or Touka see my face, I'm fucked" he concentrated "I have an idea. It will work ”he concluded his thoughts. He nodded to Minato, a gesture that meant 'ok' between the two.
- Thanks for the great idea Izuna-san, so we can go with you - Minato replied with a smile. From what you can see, Tobirama already had a solution to his problem. So everything was fine.
- Great! Then, we will go to the fountains after lunch! - Hashirama said smiling. And with that, everyone went back to eating normally.
Chapter 2: The Hot Springs
Chapter Text
Madara definitely didn't want to go. But, as every Uchiha has problems with curiosity, he was intrigued. He could finally see TS's face, he didn't like him or anything! It was just pure curiosity. And if he thought of the albino's face during the nights, that was something that no one knew! Apart from Izuna and Mito, the cliff Madara had for TS was very apparent to them.
That was one of Izuna's reasons. He wanted to see the face of the masked man for three reasons: First, to see if he was handsome enough for his Aniki; Second, his immense curiosity; and Third, he didn't like it when people hid his faces or appearances, it seemed wrong in his mind.
After all the Hashiras finished eating, they headed for the hot springs. One of the most famous attractions in Central City, or as we can also call it, Konoha.
When they got there, they split between men and women. TS and Minato were the last to enter and the last to leave. Tobirama was confident, the ‘mask’ he put on was very tight, so it wouldn’t fall. Only if someone pulled hard, but he wouldn't let that happen.
- Finally! You took a long time - Izuna said. "I'm finally going to see the face- Eh ... EH ?!" he shouted/thought. "What the hell! Did he roll a fucking towel over his face ?! ” his thoughts were cut off by an frustred Hashirama.
- Come on! I thought we were finally going to see his face today TS! - the brownish spoke sadly. Madara just sighed.
“I am not looking. I'm definitely not looking at his full thighs ... STOP! BAD MADARA! BAD!" the Uchiha was struggling.
Izuna just watched the older brother. He was completely in love. That would be funny, but he had to know everything about TS to let him be with his dear brother.
Tobirama and Minato soon entered the bathtub. After everyone entered, they started talking quietly. Until Izuna interrupted Tobirama, who was talking to Minato about his students.
- TS, why do you always cover your face? - the younger Uchiha asked. Asking the question that everyone had in mind. Everyone fell silent after that.
Tobirama just narrowed his eyes. Minato stiffened, he did not imagine that someone would ask such an intimate question, shamelessly and without a minimum of delicacy. Madara was surprised, his brother was very impolite, they would have to talk about it later. But, he was very curious, so he paid attention to TS's movements. More than normal.
- For personal reasons, Izuna-san - Tobirama replied. Poison obvious in his words. "Fuck them, I won't say anything" he thought, looking into the younger Uchiha's eyes.
- Would you mind telling us what those reasons are? -Orochimaru asked, meddling in the conversation. He was also a curious bastard.
- Actually. I would care - the albino replied, trying to control himself. He wanted to growl at both of them and tell them to shut up, but that would only show one of his weaknesses.
- Let's stop this guys, it is his secret. We cannot force him to show his face - Minato said, trying to end the unnecessary conversation.
While they ‘argued’ Tobirama leaned against the edge of the pool and wandered through old memories. One of the reasons for choosing to hide from everything and everyone around him.
*Flashback On*
It had been six months since Hashirama and Touka had left the compound to become demon hunters. Tobirama and his younger brothers stayed with their father to take care of the house, and also because they were not old enough for training.
The albino did not like the way his father took care of his brothers, so he raised them alone. He was the one who cooked, bought food, cleaned and taught. He did everything himself, even though it was a lot of work for a child of only eleven years old.
One day, he had gone to buy charcoal in order to cook. It was over and they couldn't cook or warm up without it. So the albino decided to go shopping in the village.
Tobirama had to stay in a man's house for the night, he would not be able to return to his home with the blizzard that was falling. It took an hour to get to the Senju complex, which was the furthest away from the entire village.
When he opened the complex's doors, the albino froze. He had blood in every house, not even the roads were without. Desperate, he started running to his house. "Please. Please. May they be alive. I don't want to lose anyone else. Please." He thought, he begged. This had become his new mental mantra, he did not want to lose his brothers, no, his children.
He finally got to his house. The door was closed, there was not a drop of blood in it. The albino opened the door quietly, expecting to see his little brothers playing in the room.
But the only thing he saw was ... Blood. He shouted their names, and ran to the bodies, to see if any of them had survived.
- Please. Itama, Kawarama don't leave me alone - he said. Embraced in the bodies of the brothers while he cried.
After a long time, he got up and looked around. No survivors. The albino did what he thought was right, he buried them all. His family, his clan in pits, most without a name. Only two headstones had names, those of his brothers.
*Flashback Off*
Tobirama returned from his flashback with Minato shaking him. He didn't need to explain, they had known each other for years. It was quite normal for him to have a flashback at random times, Minato got used to the time. But he knew that if he didn't take his friend out of the memories, it would be very painful and maybe even dangerous. They talked quietly afterwards. Izuna was ignoring them, probably irritated with them for not getting any useful information.
The conversation was interrupted, again, by a crow-messenger.
- TS-san! TS-san! - The crow shouted to the albino. Soon, he was already positioned on his arm.
- What happened Kelly? The albino asked calmly. "She looks agitated," he thought, frowning in clear concern.
- It's your laboratory! He's being attacked! She croaked. At the same moment, he and Minato got up and went to change clothes.
- We will have to leave earlier, gentlemen - Namikaze said, walking quickly to the room. No demon should ever see Tobirama's research, he knew that, hence the eminent concern.
- How many of them are there? - Tobirama asked, he was getting dressed as fast as he could. He couldn't waste any time.
- They're in ten, sir. And your students are not there, they had left earlier to go shopping in the neighboring village - Kelly replied. The albino just sighed with relief, at least they are safe.
- Come on Minato - the albino said, Minato nodded and the two left for the hunt.
None demon can escape, any information they have can be dangerous. We have to kill all of them.

Chapter Text
What was happening? That was the question that surrounded Madara's mind. He only saw a crow-messenger entering the fountains and landing on TS's arm, and then he and Minato practically ran out to the locker room to put on their clothes.
He may or may not have been saddened by TS's departure, he could no longer look at his magnificent body ... NO, No, no. Bad Madara.
- Where did they go? - Hashirama asked worriedly. Usually when crows came so excited to give a message, it meant only one thing, Demons. And because of TS and Minato's concern, they were not attacking a common village.
- I don't know - Madara replied. Even more worried than he was before.
- Are we going after them? - Izuna asked disgruntled. He was not in the mood to help them, especially after the argument they had.
- Definitely - the brown said - Orochimaru, go and call the girls and let them know. We will find them - he finished seriously.
After all the remaining Hashiras had assembled, Mito tried to sniff them out. It took five minutes for this, the two Hashiras were very good at erasing their existence, probably because of their master. That was a former Hashira.
- They're in the TS lab - Mito said. And she sniffled some more, her eyes widened, showing her surprise. - There are ten more demons with them - she finished, looking at the other Hashiras.
- Let's go help them - Touka said. Soon all the remaining Hashiras were headed for the albino's laboratory.
They took longer than expected to arrive. For the simple reason that the laboratory is hidden in the middle of a forest with very tall and thick trees.
Minato and Tobirama killed the demons quite easily. In less than five minutes, two of them were already dead, so they would probably finish before the albino students returned. Two more demons had already died when Tobirama felt more presence coming. He was surprised then, he focused on them for only five seconds. He sighed once again that day.
"Are you serious? Why did they have to come here? They will only hinder me” the albino thought wistfully. He was tired of the Hashiras' presence, they were very loud.
- Minato, we have company - he warned. Minato stiffened, preparing for more opponents. Tobirama seeing this calmed him down. - Don't worry, it's just those annoying brats - he said mockingly.
Minato just laughed at his friend's attitude. Soon, six demons were already defeated, leaving only four. Which were more problematic than the other six.
When the other Hashiras finally arrived at the laboratory, they understood nothing. TS had his sword sheathed and Minato was throwing a bag with something heavy down the window.
- What happened? Madara asked. Pretty obvious confusion on his face.
TS and Minato turned to the newly arrived group. They looked at each other and shrugged. It was quite obvious to them what had happened.
After long strange minutes. Hashirama spoke up, a little surprised.
- Did you kill them all? All ten?
- Obviously, we are Hashiras and they were weak. We finished them all in just a few minutes. I think about ... twenty minutes - the albino replied nonchalantly.
- Okay, and what's in that bag that Minato-kun threw from the window just now? - Orochimaru asked, looking cautiously at the bag.
- Ah, that. He's one of the invaders. We want to know why they tried to invade TS' lab - Minato replied, jumping out of the second floor window. The Hashiras were a little scared, that was a considerably high time to jump, but they didn't say anything.
- And how are you going to make him talk? - Izuna asked, the first time he spoke since leaving the hot springs.
- You are very curious Izuna-san - Tobirama replied. The sarcasm was quite obvious in his words. Izuna snorted at the comment. - But don't worry about the means, just know that he will speak. Wanted or not. - he said the last part half darkly.
Everyone -except Minato, he knew his friend's attitude towards demons very well- was startled by the words of the Water Hashira. They had the impression that if they don't want to traumatize themselves, they shouldn't know any more.
- Help me get him inside Minato. We have a lot of work to do - TS spoke calmly. He and Minato joined the bag, which soon began to struggle. The albino sighed and then hit him firmly, the bag stopped moving soon after. - As for you ... If you want to stay out here, that's fine, but don't go into my laboratory. If you want to leave, feel free, nobody will stop you - he finished calmly.
As the Hashiras pair entered the lab, the remaining Hashiras just looked at each other in clear confusion.
- Shall we go in or leave? - Izuna asked anyone who wanted to answer.
- Obviously we will enter - Orochimaru replied. - We all want to know what's inside. Only Minato and TS ducklings can enter, so we are going to invade, so to speak - he continued.
Everyone was excited and worried at the same time. They were afraid of TS, as far as was known he had no compassion, neither for humans nor for demons. This worried some of them a little. After a few long minutes Mito sighed and answered
- We shouldn't, I understand TS. I also don't like people in my lab without my permission.
Kushina nodded, showing her agreement. She liked the relationship she had with TS and Minato, it was as if they trusted her more. She wasn't going to risk everything because of her curiosity. When he allows her to enter, she will go without any complaints.
- I agree with Mito-san - Madara said. - It's his privacy, not ours. We have to respect him - he finished and looked at his brother. That he had big eyes and pouting, he just ignored him. He definitely would not do something that (his beloved) TS would not like.
- You're so annoying! I wanted to know what he hides - Izuna mumbled to the other Hashiras. Orochimaru, Hashirama and Touka agreed. They did not know how to contain their curiosity, unlike the others present.
- Otouto, it is none of your business what he hides or fails to hide - Madara said, trying not to lose his small patience.
- You're just saying that because you like him - the younger Uchiha murmured softly. But Touka listened to him and was shocked. She didn't know that, but it seemed that Madara didn't know that either. He was an idiot, she realized seriously.
- What are you discussing? - An ‘unknown’ asked. Scaring the hell out of everyone.
Everyone cried out in fright, the stranger laughed. And the man at the window just watched them, disinterested, he was very busy at the moment.
