Izuna should have known it wouldn't be that simple, and maybe on some level, he had. His words had been about trying to put some safety nets in place for Tobirama, even if he knew they wouldn't be appreciated, but it had stalled him, had stalled everything. If he hadn't spoken, if he had just jumped through the window the first chance he had, he might have had a chance to escape.

If he had just told Tobirama he would stay and accepted his offer...

Feeling his genjustu being shattered snapped his chakra off, and he felt it coming back to him. Hashirama's power was strong, deep, and had he been anyone else (or even been alive), Izuna might have been afraid. But no, no, Tobirama was the one that could kill him without any effort at all, and Tobirama was the one hurt most by everything. His greatest ally was his greatest threat.

Izuna watched the look on the other's face, before turning his own away, arms crossed over his chest. Betrayal burned, and he wondered if this somehow made them even.

"I told him how you found and captured me," Izuna intersected, still not looking at Tobirama. Hinting. Trying to show him the best way he could that he could still try to protect him.

"Odd that you would interrogate you ally and not the brother of this village's enemy." Stop going after the idiot albino and come at me, instead!
