Summary
Shinobi have few boundaries. The nature of their work is often the unpleasant tasks all other warriors refuse. Missions, however? Missions are essential. A shinobi breaking their word deliberately while completing a mission contract is tantamount to social suicide. No contact wants to hire a shinobi clan who breaks their agreements frivolously. A clan's reputation is all that stands between them and starvation.
If Tobirama accepts, he must escort Izuna safely to the Uchiha.
or: The shinobi world is filled with callous human cruelty. Tobirama, in a moment of weakness, finds empathy for the enemy.

Summary
Tobirama has always had a problem with his scent.
Or rather—everyone else has had a problem with it.
When they were at war, it had been a significantly lesser point of contention. Not many had the time, nor the energy, to focus on how a shinobi smelled among the putrid tang of blood and rot that so often overtook the battlefield.
Toka had even called it a positive, once. “It must be quite jarring,” she had said, “to look over and see your clan slaughtered, surrounded by the smell of vanilla and caramelized sugar.”
Right.

Summary
“Hiraishin does not jump across space.” The Senju explains, his red eyes pinned to the scroll, “It crosses over time. And now, it is the only chance to fix what happened.”
“What are you say—“
“I’m saying,” he reiterates, “Uchiha Izuna won’t accept help. You won’t accept his death. So we are going to redo this.”

Summary
Tobirama Senju has everything under control – until Madara Uchiha crashes into his life. One is a surgeon, accustomed to the silence of operating rooms; the other is an agent, living in the eye of a storm. They shouldn’t work, but physics says otherwise. When the walls finally come down, it turns out the only way to survive is to stop pretending you're made of steel. Especially when your last line of defense is a bottle of vodka and a stranger’s doorstep in the middle of the night.

Summary
We can’t remember everything, Tobirama thought, only the parts that are truly important.
But there wasn’t a single thing he wanted to remember. The soft rain kept falling. An empty shell of himself rose slowly up into the grey sky. He closed his eyes, waiting.
Or
Amnesia unexpectedly hit and Tobirama finds himself in enemy hands.
