The Will of Fire
Chapter One: Brothers
All around the battlefield blood was being spilled. Ninja against Ninja, clan against clan. But what we're they fighting for? Was there really a purpose behind it? That mattered not at this point. All that mattered was your survival. Swords clashed, hand signs flashed, fire, earth, lightning, wind and water. It consumed the battlefield. Suddenly the earth began to shake. Rock cracked beneath the feet of the warriors as roots violently shot out of the soil. They grew quickly and moved with incredible speed. Each root found their way to an arm or leg or torso of one of the enemy Ninja. In an instant the fighting had stopped.
Shouts of confusion echoed from the enemy lines.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Who is doing this?!"
"I can't move! What the hell?!"
One by one the enemy ninja became impaled by weapons. Their blood stained the earth below them.

The camp celebrated their incredible victory. Everyone within the clan was joyous and the air was filled with music. Everyone but one man.
Tobirama: Nii-san, why don't you join the rest of us? We owe this victory to you, let the men rejoice with their leader.
Hasharima dropped his head and sighed lightly.
Hashirama: Dear brother. . .what is there to rejoice? Look down there. Tell me what you see.
Tobirama looked over the cliff as the fire from the camp flickered behind him. The cliff overlooked a large open field that was dimly lit by the moon. Bodies littered the earth.
Tobirama: I see many brave men. Many brave men who fought today. Who died today. All for-"
He was abruptly cut off.
Hashirama: "For what?! Why are we doing this? What is the purpose of out fighting? It gives us no gain, no pleasure. All it brings is death and hatred!"
Tobirama was taken back by his brother's outburst. He didn't understand it.
Tobirama: "Brother.....we fight because we have to. Its just the world we live in. Just as the sun rises, and the sun sets, battles will rise and set as well. We are at the will of the highest bidder."
Hashirama picked up his head and turned around. He put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder.
Hashirama: "The highest bidder doesn't see what happens out here. They don't feel our pain. I'm going to change that. I'm going to make it so we no longer are at the will of the highest bidder." Hashirama smiled. "Now go back to the celebration Tobi-chan. You need not think these things as I do."
Tobirama bowed his head and turned back to the party.
Hashirama turned back to the battlefield and set his eyes on the moon. Is it a foolish thing to wish for? Is peace as unreachable as the moon? There must be a way......

???????: "Bu......but.....why?!"
A kunai was driven deep in the man's chest. It was a fatal wound. Blood seeped out of the wound and ran down the kunai and onto the hand holding it.
Madara: "Because......you are my best friend. I am sorry Izaru....but it is for the good of the clan."
Izaru: "Selfish....bastard!"
Those were the last words Izaru Uchiha would ever speak. His body fell limp to the ground. The sharingan in his eyes faded to black. Madara's smile grew and grew, it covered his face as he stood over Izaru's body.
Madara: "Selfish you say? No. Not selfish. Selfless my friend. The pain to kill your best friend......you can't imagine how it feels. But it was a necessary sacrifice, for the glory of the Uchiha!
Madara stood over the dead body of Izaru. His sharingan began to change. The colors moved and the shapes shifted.
Madara: "With these eyes the Uchiha will become even more powerful than the Senju, and it is all thanks to your sacrifice Izaru."
Another man slowly walked out from the shadows.
Izuna: "Well done Nii-san. That was impressive as always, although I believe I would have been done earlier. Tell me, how does it feel?"
Madara: "It feels incredible Izuna. The power that has filled my body.......I feel indestructible!"
Izuna turned and began to walk away.
Madara: "huh? Where are you going?
Izuna: "I can't stand to look at you right now Nii-san. I know with those eyes that I am no longer at your level. I will return when I have them as well. See ya later Nii-san"
