[So there is this dude in the reviews that says the synopsis is ass cuz it's all poems and no content despite the tags saying it's a Naruto fic. So what do you say? Should I fix that shit?
And I think I was slightly rude when replying. But dude, in my defence... okay whatever, I will shut up.]
[Give STONES or I will cast testicular torsion on you.]

The night was still, with only the soft rustle of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl breaking the silence. The moon hung low in the sky, its pale light barely piercing through the thick canopy of trees. Shadows stretched long across the forest floor, making everything seem darker, almost eerie.
Six shadowy figures dashed through the dark forest, their movements swift and quiet. Each one was dressed in black, their faces hidden by masks. Their swords and weapons glinted briefly under the pale moonlight, but they moved so fast, they seemed like shadows themselves.
Far behind them, more than twenty enemy ninjas tried to follow, but they were slower. The six shadowy figures were much quicker, jumping over roots and ducking under low branches. They hardly made a sound as they ran through the trees, their feet light on the ground.
The leader of the group, a tall and strong figure, signaled for them to continue. Without a word, the others followed, moving in perfect silence. They knew the forest well, and the enemy was still far away. For now, they were safe, but they had to keep moving or else they will surely die in the worst case.
It didn't take long and the group stopped and all surrounded the leader who wore a solemn expression while looking at each member of the group with scrutiny.
The leader touched the ground with two fingers and closed his eyes to sense the incoming enemies.
"We are surrounded, there are more than 20 ninjas, the Kinkaku unit. The Gold and Silver brothers will arrive here in 10 minutes." The leader spoke calmly and opened his eyes to look at the group of six ninja in front of him.
His words made the group members to get concerned, cold sweat running down their faces.
They have been on the run for sometime now, and a simple mission went from A-Rank to SS-Rank so unexpectedly that they didn't even have time to register who was who before the massacre unfolded.
Currently, they are on the run with over 20 relentless S-Ranked ninjas on their tail, lead by one of the most feared individuals in the entire shinobi world and even beyond shinobi world...
Gold and Silver brothers.
"They will catch up and our survival odds are less than twenty percent." The leader of the group said calmly while crouching in front of the tired ninjas who wore nervous expressions.
"Then what do you suggest we do Tobirama-sensei?!" Hiruzen, a young and handsome man asked the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
"There's nothing we can do..." Danzo said which made the ninjas to grow more agitated, but they all wore determined expressions and all were ready to fight till the end of it.
"I think we should wait and ambush them, to give room for an escape!" Koharu suggested.
"No, that's not gonna work. The only way out is one of us draws their attention and misdirect them." Kagame Uchiha replied.
"Kagame's suggestion is a lure. Means certain death... so who?" Homura said with a frown while looking at his teammates.
'Hiruzen, what are you thinking right now? Are you prepared to make that sacrifice?' Danzo thought while glancing at the determined face of Hiruzen.
'Go! Say it! I will.... I will... but... but what's wrong? Why can't I say it? Why can't I say that I will do it?!' Danzo thought in frustration as he looked down at his trembling hands.
Meanwhile, Tobirama had his attention on Gintoki, who had a bored and completely drained face as if he will succumb any second right now.
'My idiot student, will you do it? Or not? You have always been the laziest but weirdly enough, the most talented. You have always been the hardest to read, hiding behind the facade of idiocy. Your will of fire? So much better than these fools even though there really is no meaning behind that philosophy. Now, I am curious, you have always been the hardest to read, and an anomaly. What do you think about?' Tobirama thought as he stared at his most peculiar student who was stuck in his own world.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Gintoki's POV/
Fuck my life.
"There's nothing we can do..." Danzo said.
Damn.
"Unless someone sacrifices themselves and buy some little time." Koharu said.
Oww shit.
"No, that's not gonna work. The only way out is one of us draws their attention and misdirect them." Kagame Uchiha replied.
You don't say?
"Kagame's suggestion is a lure. Means certain death... so who?" Homura said with a frown while looking at his teammates.
I just wanna hug my wife again man, what the hell am I doing here? What lead me to this point? And why the hell are you looking at me like that Tobirama-sensei?! 20 ninjas is not enough and now you too?!
Calm downnnnnn! calm down Gin, it's ok, you just need to focus.
Ok, now, let's seeeee....
Fuck!
How can I focus?! 10 minutes later, 20 S-rank ninjas will bust my ass!!
Goddamn it! I heard the Gold and Silver brothers are gay too and legit rumours say many men's asses have fallen by their hands!
Shit!
My entire life, I can not so proudly say that I have seen every kind of shit you could imagine, but one shit always stood out from the other shits that always made me shudder, it was those pedos and gays.
I mean that ain't the weirdest shiii I have seen in my life even though they are at my Top 10 list of {to get away from asap list}
And I wouldn't have given a shit about them existing if there were not 20 overpowered rapists eyeing my fucking ass right now!!
*shudder!*
But wait, now that I focus...
I grab my dick every single day, so doesn't that make me gae?
*Smackk!*
Focusssss Gin Focussss!!
Ok so, first of all, fuck you Garou, you asshole! I hate you and your 'freedom and all have rights to exist' talks about Homos or whatever nonsense!
Second of all, I am dying, so what the fuck am I even thinking about?! I don't know!
Damn.
I hate my accelerated thought process as a day turns into weeks in my mind when matters include losing my ass to some hairy bastard!
My overthinking ahh and remembering Garou's poisonous arguments feels like I am frying my brains!
I am so fucking scared right now!
.
Anyways, third of all, fuck you too Tobirama-sensei! I might not see my 10/10 Yandere wife again because of you, and it has been near 3 years since I last saw her! 3 YEARS!
I miss her.
*Shudder!*
Can Tobirama-sensei read minds?! Why the heck he be looking at me like I am an Uchiha all of a sudden?
Shit, better take my words back!
.
By the way, now that I focus for real, looking at our predicament, and seeing the solution for this is something so severe and full of sacrifices, I can feel a fire.
A HOT Bulazinggg Firee!
Deep inside my heart its...Raginggg!
My will, My spirit, My body that I have honed for countless years have rekindled with new vigour suddenly!
My will of Fire!
Now that I look at everything in slow motion, I contemplate and think, what's life really?
I have thought a lot about this question and haven't found the answer, but right now... I think I know what it means at this moment...
As long as my comrades and my family live a second day, then that's all there is to matter. I think that's what my will of fire is in its truest form, to live and die for the ones I care about.
Now that I think about it, it seems Garou predicted something like this situation happening to me.
That Dumbass.
He told me to "If you ever came across a situation where you had to choose between family or village, choose us."
That's what he said, but, I am sorry little Garou. It seems, I have to break that promise or else, the village will become vulnerable without its pillars. Without these people here you guys will be in danger, and I have already lost an eye in battle, and to be honest, I am not fit to be a ninja anymore.
I am so tired of this senseless war and years of slaughter. I don't even know why we are fighting, and I doubt anyone knows. Countless people have died by my hands and it disgusts me to no end.
Forgive me and please, take care of yourselves and lead a good life.
This is my redemption.
.
Coming out of my contemplation, I look at Tobirama-sensei with determination as I finally decide what to do.
I open my mouth and shout "I will do it Tobirama-sensei! You guys better go and I will stay back!!"
.
.

.
That wasn't my voice.
I look to my left and see Hiruzen, with a passionate face full of warmth like the sun, determination that made my own pale in comparison, shouting his pure angelic intentions.
My Hero!!
'Yessssssssss!! Bwahahaha! I am the man who lived!' I thought in immense joy while outwardly breaking down in tears in front these assholes that I don't like one bit.
*clap Sob Sob clap!*
"Beautiful!" I said as I cried and clapped in great relief while receiving some weird glances from my comrades and a piercing one from Tobirama-sensei.
I am so sorry! I just wanted to look cool guys! Didn't know shi was serious I swear! Sob!
I so fucking love my life bro!
My man like... it has been years since I tasted my wife, and now you want me to go to the pure lands looking at gardens and shi?! Nah man! Who do you think gonna revive Hatake clan?!
My balls!!
At least let me die after busting a final nut! With Glory and Honor! Not some sacrifice myself cliche type of shi to ungrateful bastards!
Sweet home Konoha! The King is back!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General POV/
Surely, Tobirama with his genius and years spending time with Gintoki, still didn't know Gintoki was psychologically impaired, and he expected for too much from him.
.
"Haha, don't worry about me. I don't mean to brag but I have the best chance among of you to pull this off. I am not gonna die." Hiruzen said with a radiant smile as he looked at his companions.
'Somewhere... somewhere deep inside my heart I feel so relieved!' Danzo thought as he clench his hands angrily.
*pat*
"Danzo, look after the others when I am gone-"
"Shut up! I was going to volunteer you know, don't try to steal the limelight. I will be the lure not you!" Danzo shouted as he slapped Hiruzen's hand away.
"..."
"I will be the lure. You gonna carry on the will of fire." Tobirama suddenly said much to the surprise of his students.
"But you can't, you are the Hokage and the strongest in the village!" Danzo retorted.
"Danzo, you are always vying with Sato over one thing or another. First you must take a hard look on yourself and come to understand who you are objectively, or at this rate, you will place all your comrades in danger." Tobirama calmly said and Danzo just looked at the ground in frustration.
Tobirama looked at Hiruzen for a few moments before declaring "Sato, from now on, I nominate you as the Third Hokage to the village Hidden in the leaves and you will be the Hokage from tomorrow."
'What???' Gintoki thought as he immediately stopped shedding tears.
"I hope you take good care of the village in my absence Sato." Tobirama added in a no nonsense tone.
'Okay I know what kind of game this is. I hesitated because of Garou's bullshit. If not for that, I would be Hokage now.' Gintoki thought with a deadpan while raising middle fingers at the phantom of his son in his mind.
"But...but, Tobirama-sensei, you can't, I will stall the Gold and Silver brothers! You must go back to the village as I buy time!" Hiruzen still shocked and confused tried to explain to Tobirama with sweat coming down his forhead.
"You didn't hesitate to sacrifice yourself for your comrades, you have inherited the true will of fire, and above all...you have potential and soon will have sufficient strength to qualify you to be the next Hokage. This is my final decision as the second Hokage..."
"..."
"Now return to the village, I will stall the Gold and Silver brothers for enough time until you escape. This is an order." Added Tobirama to the still dazed ninjas in front of him.
No one spoke, all were digesting what Tobirama said before they all nodded reluctantly and with immense sadness, they body flickered and ran away towards Konoha.
Time was of essence and they couldn't afford wasting any.
Tobirama looked at the retreating figures of his students and focused on the most interesting among them, Gintoki, and couldn't help but think about the man's son his Shadow Clone interacted with years ago when it was Tsunade's birthday.
"If not for special circumstances, I would have loved to do some experiments on that non-human-boy. Anyways, this nonsense story must continue." Tobirama said solemnly and slowly but surely, powerful ninjas approached his position, then got surrounded.
The End.
