Everyone knew that meeting an Uchiha 's eyes was dangerous. Tobirama failed to see how that was a danger to people like him who never met anyone 's eyes at all. It was a marvel to him that any shinobi from one of the major clans would ever take a chance meeting the eyes of someone outside their clan and risk the possibility of finding their soulmate in the wrong place. He had decided a long time ago that he would rather never meet them than to discover his soulmate in a sworn enemy.

And, of course, because that was exactly what he didn 't want that was exactly what he got. Fate was an asshole that Tobirama had been wrestling with since the day he was born, too weak and too white.
