The Uchiha Princess || Uchiha Family/Child!Reader

Summary: The third born child of the head of the Uchiha Clan, younger sister of Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha. You're the known princess of the Uchiha Clan! (That everyone may or may not have a protective side of.)

Warnings: None! Just Fluff!

mikoto

It was no secret really, Mikoto had really been hoping for a girl! So she was really happy to have you, her little princess.

Literally loves you, gives you the best of care.

Enjoys dressing you up or doing your hair (you look so cute and small in all those mini garments!!)

Honestly worried for awhile how you'd get along with your brothers or the clan, as it was mostly men.

Worries were quickly blown away though, who would dare hurt you?

fugaku

Super nervous dad, he was used to the two boys, yes. But a girl? He was already worrying himself over how things would work.

Secretly you’re his favorite, literally held you so softly like you were the most precious baby ever.

You were his precious girl, and he admits he may have spoiled you a bit more than he should've.

Doesn’t like the idea of boys, nope he isn’t agreeing to ANY arranged marriages!!

He also doesn't like admitting it, although he hopes you become a great strong kunoichi. The idea of sending you, of all people into the battle field frightens even him.

obito

The funny cousin, always comes over with treats just for you.

He just can’t stop poking at your chubby cheeks and practically squealed when he saw your stubby legs as you ran up to him.

Always makes sure to scoop you up and tell you plenty of his awful jokes. You love it anyway though! He loves hearing your giggle.

Enjoys closing his eyes as you trace over his scars in awe.

Heart throbs as you pecked his scarred cheek asking him whether he was okay and that you’d make the pain go away.

Literally the sweetest cousin ever, knows exactly what you like and spoils you whenever he is back from a mission.

shisui

The cousin you tell all your secrets to. (Who may or may not be secretly reporting to Itachi about it.)

Loves carrying you on his back, gives him sweet flashbacks of mini Itachi.

Is super dramatic with you, you both are like each others twins. He loves it whenever Sasuke and Itachi walk in completely bewildered at the play you guys have been acting.

You two are also pranksters, who have lots of fun pulling stuff on Sasuke, Itachi, and occasionally best of all, Obito.

Second most at poking at your cheek besides Obito too, vowed to protected you from evil at all costs.

itachi

Your big brother, who greatly inspires and motivates you. He is such a sweetheart!

He honestly has the same fear as his father because his life as a ninja hasn't been a walk in a rosy garden.

Can't describe it, he just loves you. Every time he is with you, he feels at peace.

Has been there for all of your tantrums, he is basically your comfort.

Knows best out of everyone how to take care of you. You're injured? Distract you with food, something you like, etc, to get rid of the pain as he treats you.

Sobbing cause you can't have something? He'll get it for you-- wait no his parents said no so he'll tell you maybe next time to make you forget.

sasuke

Was the most nervous out of everyone.

But greatly adores you because you look up to him, he feels noticed and appreciated whenever he is around you.

You love Sasuke because he understands you the most as you're both similar in age.

Playtime is always fun, and mainly with him. He always tries to bring new games, not just to entertain you both but also to keep you active. He shows his care in different ways!

When he got older he still made time for you, there was always a reserved soft spot for his little sister.

madara

You're his favorite Uchiha kid, and he isn't afraid to admit it.

He lets you play with his hair, he surprisingly didn't mind it. Honestly he loves your awe with it.

You spent a chunk of your time with him anyways since most of your other family members were busy so it wasn't before long you both developed a strong bond.

Out of everyone he deeply hopes you never experience war in your lifetime. He knows from personal experience, and it warms his heart that you're so innocent.

He teaches you a lot of things, madara knows a lot! From weapons and combat, all the way to gardening and game tactics. He's got to spend a lot of time having fun being the retired Uchiha.

ROUND FOUR

UZUMAKI NARUTO vs MAITO GAI

Reasons for submission under the cut

Naruto

he runs on pure spite

he's just trying his best all the time

ray of sunshine

we wouldn’t have the story without him

he’s got his faults but he’s still one of [submitters] favourites

his true talent is in his irony: he wears bright orange, is loud, and likes direct confrontation; all things that should make him an awful ninja but he works hard and turns out to be a talented one anyway

he's determined; works real hard to achieve his dreams

he's entertaining and fiercely loyal to those he cares about although he does get a bit obsessive with Sasuke

entertaining to watch

good boy with good intentions even if he can be dumb af sometimes he's always trying to find the better option even for his enemies <3

sun coded boy who can also beat someones ass

Gai

was instrumental in the success of the story - he may not have won against Madara, but he put fear in him and had it not been for hacks, he would have decimated him where no one else could

believes whole-heartedly in his student to the point of dedicating his life to making him a splendid ninja

came from nothing, worked his way up from nothing, and is now considered to be one of the greatest shinobi to have come out of the Hidden Leaf. People know and fear him

made Itachi bail. That man was ready to fight everyone else, but packed it up when Gai came on the scene

kicked Jiraiya in the face and never properly apologized

great salesperson - always has a spare jumpsuit to give to passers-by and hook them on his favorite brand. True influencer and fashion icon

had a bowl cut before it was cool

was a great friend to Kakashi, and was there for him during the highs and lows of his horrifically stressful life. Arguably saved Kakashi's life with his constant support, and the story could not have happened without him. Is considered by Kakashi - one of the most powerful and infamous shinobi in the world - to be his equal and his best friend

loves kids. Supports his own students like he was their father, and equally takes pride in Naruto and protected Sasuke after Sasuke's first run in with Itachi

in the anime, he is shown to be hard on the outside but clearly permissive in that he would sneak Chouji food in the middle of a mission and try to push Naruto into figuring out who Minato was

confident in himself and confident in others - he is everyone's biggest cheerleader and he isn't just talk; he'll work hard with you. When he says he'll do something, nothing will stop him and he will follow his promises even when no one is watching.

hot. Man has pretty privilege

amazing, supportive teacher and friend

he is always trying to be positive in such a dark world and cheer up those around him

he's so good to Lee, Tenten, and Neji, you can just tell how much he cares about those kids

his speech to Lee was super moving. He knew Lee was scared and made sure to be there for him

he was ready and willing to die to defeat Madara in order to save the others

an actual decent upstanding father figure

unbridled whimsy

excellent tits

I feel like the only 'stupid' thing Itachi and Shisui did was listen to Danzo. Particularly in the novels he's so mustache-twirlingly evil they both should have assumed anything that came out of his mouth was a lie until proven otherwise. The whole problem with "but what if it snowballs into a war" -- Killing the Uchiha clan also puts the village in a very similar situation.

You've taken out one of four noble clans.

You've taken out the scariest dojutsu users in the world that nobody wants to meet on the battlefield.

You've taken out the police who keep the village stable internally.

You've shaken the people's faith in their leaders by making it clear that they're producing murderous shinobi that they cannot control.

You've shaken the people's trust in each other by choosing the nicest possible kid to do the job.

It is a miracle that this didn't spark the next conflict.

...But we're also talking about a 12 year old kid in a complete state of panic, likely perpetually stuck in a triggered state by the threat of a bigger conflict which he has devoted his entire life to stopping. A little kid who is visibly deteriorating, and whose thoughts are rapidly becoming distorted, based on what we know about his beliefs regarding Sasuke, and I have a sneaking suspicion that excessive praise of his thinking exists solely to justify what happened. We can say Itachi was a big fucking nerd and history buff all we like but there are only so many hours of the day that his mission count tells us he was not using to read books.

What I'm saying is yes, this was an awful choice that more than likely created more problems than it solved, but blaming him rather than the people who exploited his trauma is not just a dick move but morally bankrupt.

We don't know whether a war would truly have broken out or not. But going by the evidence in canon, it certainly would have.

One thing most people repeatedly keep forgetting is Obito's presence who Itachi thought was the Madara Uchiha. We know, and it's canon, that Obito attacked Konoha the night Naruto was born for absolutely no reason. He didn't have to do it other than because "he hated the Shinobi world" yet he did. He was strong enough that even Minato thought the man who fought him was Madara himself.

It wasn't hard for Itachi to assume he could be Madara as well and if he attacked Konoha under any circumstances, it would be impossible to stop the damage the war could cause. So, when Obito told Sasuke he was also plotting war, he wasn't exactly lying. It lies in synch with his previous actions too.

Itachi knew it very well. He knew Konoha, with all its army, wasn't ready to confront Madara Uchiha.

Having said that, neither Itachi nor Shisui were "stupid", because as outsiders, who have seen and known all the consequences, we can assess the circumstances more objectively than Itachi and Shisui did.

I've said it many, many times before — the possibilities of any form of conflict followed by the massacre (which could not be much because Konoha still stood strong and police weren't the only ones guarding the village and Uchiha clan was also on its decline, as Itachi stated) could be curbed because Konoha is insanely powerful.

An internal conflict, along with Obito fueling the fire, would be much worse than any of the possibilities you've stated. Why would Konoha Shinobi accept Uchiha, especially if they attacked and overthrew the government? Why would they not view Uchiha as a threat? Why would they ever accept if Uchiha ever won (by mistake) and one of them became a Hokage?

The dissenters of the Hokage would side with the Uchiha. The others would be against them. It's a perfect recipe for a disaster and Itachi knew it well enough.

Itachi was never given a choice to solve the problem. He was only given the options about which side he wanted to choose and sacrifice. It was never about whether he wanted to have things done his own way. It was always about Konoha making him a scapegoat because its leadership was too weak. Uchiha clan gets away with a lot of shit it put Itachi through, but while they were absolutely the victims, they were not innocent in how they treated Itachi. That also includes Fugaku and Mikoto.

You're absolutely right about the last part. The massacre created more problems, but the people who should be called out are Fugaku, Hiruzen, and Danzo. Itachi was only a pawn.

[belit0]

Hello!! Can you do a Uchiha clan x reader where the reader is a recarnation of Indra's S/O?😳 Lets just say his S/O recarnation is a very pretty and very strong and powerful Maybe what the Uchiha clan members (itachi, Madara, Indra, izuna, Sasuke, shisui, obito) members think?

Let's pretend this is an everyone lives AU because otherwise, there would be no way all these Uchiha would be in the same time and space lol.

Madara

- He knows who she is because he feels it. There's a part of his inner self still connected to his past life, a place where a small portion of Indra resides, filled with hatred and resentment, ready to explode. Just as he learned to feel Asura's presence in Hashirama, he feels that woman's in (Y/N). He does not know what the history is between the Otsutsuki and the one who was supposed to be his special person, but the woman's abilities tell that she has always been a strong individual, whether in this life or another, and he can understand why his ancestor chose her to form his clan. He has admiration for her, and an intrinsic part of him is drawn to her beauty and toughness.

Izuna

- Madara makes the mistake of sharing his hunch with him, and the rumor spreads throughout the clan. Now everyone knows that a certain girl seems to be the reincarnation of one of the most important women in the clan, and we have to thank Izuna for that. Personally, he is in awe of her beauty, and having trained a couple of times with her, he almost ended up with some good scars, so he respects her power. He sees her as the perfect match for his older brother and is a believer that things should follow their natural course. If in the past she was with Indra, in the present she should be with Madara.

Obito

- Nope nope nope nope nope. He thinks she's great, being a strong and independent girl, but he's also afraid of her. Dealing with the reincarnations of the clan's ancestors is no fun at all, and if Madara is tale enough of how Indra once was, then he's not at all interested in knowing (Y/N)'s provenance. He prefers to feign dementia and act as if nothing happened, disengaging from any contact with the girl and avoiding her like the plague. It's best to stay out of matters that don't concern him, and if anyone has a bone to pick with her according to Indra's cosmic history, it will be Madara.

Shisui

- Innocent Curiosity. He probably approaches her only because he is amazed by her skill and strength, admires her as a shinobi, and believes she is one of the strongest figures in the clan. Perhaps he gets a little too close, to the point where Madara needs to put him in his place for thinking he might want to steal his destined mate. The Uchiha takes more care based on this warning, and follows (Y/N)'s moves from afar, admiring her deeply for her character and acting as her #1 fan.

Itachi

- He doesn't believe anyone's past life should bind them to a predetermined fate. Just because (Y/N)'s ancestor built a life with Indra does not mean she must do so with Madara, nor that she is bound to a specific path. She must be free to choose and make her own decisions, being a completely different person and detached from what she once was. According to Itachi, she has no business with that past life and must remove any pressure Madara puts on her. He feels sorry for her and wishes he could help.

Sasuke

- Who? Ha, as if he cares. At no point did he notice (Y/N), he doesn't have the slightest interest in knowing about her, and he hates the theory of reincarnations. Yes, maybe an old man was born millions of years ago and discovered the Sharingan, founded a clan, whatever, but that has nothing to do with him. No one will be able to tell him what to do, and he has no opinion about her because he doesn't spend his time getting to know her either. He prefers to concentrate on himself and his goals, and not waste time on stupid things, please.

The tengu madara you wrote with a breeding kink

bestie....please...

can you imagine....

(sedate me)

madara uchiha x afab!reader

tw: nsfw, talk about children

He doesn't touch you until the wedding night.

He wants to do this right, he's a traditionalist at heart with some things, and he just wants the ending he was promised as a child. Madara grew up hearing about how to teach a mate in the Uchiha clan and it's just One of Those Things that he waits to bed his spouse for the wedding night.

But it's in the air. It's tenser when you two are together, closer and closer to the wedding date. Madara is a stoic man but he's never been tense per se. Languid movements are what you'd attribute to him, this is a man who moves like breathing is easy, and yet...

And yet every muscle coils tighter and tighter the closer your wedding day comes. You think he's getting cold feet. Your heart plummets and you wonder if he's rethinking this entire thing.

That's proven wrong when he not only goes through with the wedding but pulls you away from the reception early. He's clawing at your clothes, peeling them off before you can even make it to your new shared room, his mouth on yours. Devouring.

The second you're naked beneath him, he's slower. Intent. His red eyes on your writhing body, never missing a single thing. Madara unravels you bit by bit, greedily sucking at every release you give him like a man starved. His hands never leave you, his hands always gripping or caressing, his chest heaving like he's in the middle of battle.

Sweat drips down his skin and his wings are curled around you till all you can see is him. Him, him, him. You, you, you. He's not even in you yet and you still feel like you're one and the same. You both are one mass of fevered desire, and you'd crawl into each other's skin if you could.

When he finally sinks into you, he's shushing you. Calming you. Madara traces a path up your throat with his tongue, nipping at your pulse. "Shh, shh. That's it. Relax. Let me in."

He gives you time to adjust. Your husband is a Tengu, a creature of might- everything about him is impressive and this is no exception. Rubbing slow circles on your clit, Madara takes in your panting face.

"You fit me so well. You were made for me," He murmurs, a bit in awe as he starts to move his hips dizzyingly slow.

"Please," You gasp, clawing at his back. Every slow drag of his cock in you is torture. "Madara, please. I need more."

"So eager..." He punctuates his words with a snap of his hips. His eyes gleam crimson with whatever he's thinking, a small smile crawling to his face. "Very well. I'll fuck you full of my child. Would you like that? To grow big with our baby?"

He leans in close, lips against yours as his pace becomes brutal. "Then you'll take everything I give you and you won't waste a single drop."

When Winter Comes - Emperor Madara AU

Ever since I posted this comic last year for @wisiaden's MadaTobi June Bonanza, I've been toying with the idea of making this AU into a fic, not just a short comic.

Thanks to Wisia and @kooriicolada who have graciously lent me their ears over the last few weeks, this fic is now officially a work in progress!

Hope you enjoy a small look into the story ahead. Please let me know your thoughts - I'm very curious! 👀

-

Warnings: a/b/o dynamics, descriptions of injury, implied/referenced abuse

-

Without saying anything, Madara approached the kneeling man, curious despite himself. Since the omega had his head bowed, it was impossible to see the expression on his face, but the trembling of his curled shoulders was more than enough to give Madara an idea about what the man was feeling.

In the background he could hear the crowd become lively again as it regained its ability to speak.

Madara listened to the cacophony of various complaints about the apparently cursed young man by the name Tobirama who, according to the whispers, was nothing but trouble and couldn't be trusted with anything. 

A blight on the lives of the other servants.

A demon child with mud for blood.

A disgrace.

Somehow Madara highly doubted any of these claims were true. 

Although he could see the evidence of Tobirama's apparent clumsiness in the form of broken dishes, spilled food, and a beaten up wooden tray lying nearby, he suspected Tobirama hadn't done it on purpose. The tray looked heavy and, considering the vitriol thrown at his head, it wasn't too hard to imagine someone actually tripping the man either. 

Madara couldn't say why he was so sure of this, but there was something about this obviously scared, beaten man, which made him believe he wasn't looking at a troublemaker, but a victim instead.

"Silence!" 

His voice cracked through the air like a whip and in an instant all was blissfully silent.

Perfectly aware that everyone was paying attention and probably wondering what he would do, Madara hooked his fingers under Tobirama's chin and gently lifted the man's face as he said, "Don't be afraid, Tobirama. You may look at me."

Tobirama resisted for a moment or two, clearly hesitant, before he looked up. 

Madara's breath left him in a rush. In all of his life he had never seen a pair of eyes more beautiful. Their almond shape and the long lashes surrounding them were more than enough to inspire awe, but it was their colour that truly made them mesmerising.

Red.

Red like the fresh blood dripping over Madara's fingers from the cut on Tobirama's chin.

The red of the Uchiha clan mon.

These were the eyes of the sun goddess herself, Amaterasu-okami. She, who had been the patron and guardian of the Uchiha family for generations; the one Madara prayed to each morning at sunrise. 

Like every Uchiha, Madara has heard the stories of how their clan came to rule over the Land of Fire. It was Amaterasu's Mandate that granted them this divine right and power. 

What was lesser known was the fact that every once in a while the goddess of shining heavens would send a blessing to the earth. The red eyes were believed to signify its arrival. The Uchiha considered people born with them a sign of good luck and of prosperity, and an encounter with a blessed individual was said to herald the arrival of a particularly opulent era.

Although Madara had always been a sceptic at heart when it came to legends, believing most of not all to be nothing other than hearsay, but he couldn't quite shake off the feeling that his meeting with Tobirama wasn't a mere coincidence.

Such beautiful eyes in a face this fair…

Even the still bleeding cuts and the distraught expression couldn't distract from their appeal. Part of it was for sure Tobirama's overall beauty. The few tendrils of hair, which pulled silver when light hit them a certain way, framed his face, only further adding to the enchanting picture he made. His features, Madara noted, were well-balanced and delicate, though sharpened by his unnatural thinness, and his skin was impossibly soft under Madara's fingers, feeling almost like the richest velvet.

To put it simply, he was a vision and Madara would be a liar if he said he wasn't thoroughly charmed.

Extending a hand to help Tobirama stand up, he asked, "Are you alright?"

The omega stumbled as he stood, hissing in pain, but Madara caught him before he could fall again. He was surprisingly tall, a bit taller than Madara himself. A curiosity for sure. Not many people grew to such a height and it was certainly an impressive feat. However, there was also no denying that Tobirama's height made it even more obvious how worryingly thin he was. 

His condition was a cause for concern to say the least and the way he was now leaning on Madara made it abundantly clear. There was really no point in denying that Tobirama was injured on top of being severely weakened and cold, his fingers like ice against Madara's own. It begged the question how on earth the man had been able to work up until now.

Without doubt he needed a healer and rest. Possibly food and sweet lemon water as well.

"Tobirama?"

Blinking owlishly, the man finally whispered, "I… I'm f-fine."

There was little doubt in Madara's mind that this wasn't the case, but it didn't feel right to question him further so publicly.

By all accounts he had been through enough already.

"Good," Madara said as he brought Tobirama's hands to his lips before blowing warm air on them to warm them up bit. When they felt less freezing to touch, he pressed a lingering kiss to each before placing them against his chest, right over his heart. "Now let us find you a healer, beautiful."

more fics on itachi need to express his obito complex

like okay itachi is the best in class and prettiest in the town and YET kakashi, the second best and hottest in town, is still hung up on his problems from obito. like with all the calculations in itachi's naive analytical brain he and kakashi are a perfect match (fugaku would begrudgingly agree despite him being an outsider) yet kakashi has an annoyingly dismissive attitude and is too fucking emo to actually pay attention to itachi because its always about rin and obito and how awful kakashi is a person and itachi doesnt know what therapy is so he cant help. so itachi drops that goal, gets indoctrinated with triple agent ideologies, kills his family, you know the deal.

and then hes teamed up with kisame and kisame is challenging all of his ideals and keeping him on his toes and suddenly hes got ATTENTION on him and itachi for the first time doesnt have to compare himself to a family member in front of kisame because hes fresh and new, oh and he killed his family so he would've never had the chance either way.

now i know itachi died before the audience got the tobi reveal but imagine obito reveals before. and itachi screams a little inside because what the fuck does he realize how fucked up kakashi is about him, and hold on kisame is talking to him familiarly? and kisame is like yeah madara/obito is who brough him into the akatsuki and he actually spent some time with him. itachi's brain record scratches for multiple reasons, but its fine! its fine! kisame worships him hes so loyal he met itachi after itachi got hotter and stronger and better. itachi is fine, except. well. until kisame mentions something about how are all uchiha traitors so masochistic while itachi is playing psychosexual mind games asking kisame to choke him during sex. and itachi, naive and selfcentered, is like i wouldnt know i killed my family (tragique!) and then itachi freezes and analyzes kisame's question. and then bolts up and says "did you fuck obito?"

[uniformbravo]

since i've spent the past few days essentially staring at nothing but natsuyuu volume covers i thought it'd be so fun and silly to try and redraw them all from memory tee hee. all 30 (thirty) (三十) of them!!! wheee!!!!

i haven't actually looked at them next to the originals yet so guess what time it is!!!! LET'S COMPARE

starting with volume 1. iconic. show stopping. masterpiece. the mona lisa of natsuyuu SURELY i reproduced every single detail perfectly such that it kickstarts my career as a forgery artist RIGHT

well feast ur eyes

(im using the english volumes for comparison btw they have a good clear view of the art)

CAN U TELL WHICH IS WHICH OOO THEYRE SO ALIKE BET U CANT!!! SPOT THE DIFFERENCE LEVEL 1000 WHICH ONE DO U SHOOT

all i remembered for this one was GREEN and it's not even the right shade of green ajgosugdjfkdgj i even made the fuckin. what do u call it. i'll just say yukata??? I MADE IT GREEN AND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE RED i stg if u held a gun to my head & asked if there was any red on vol 1 i'd be DEAD

but i remembered the book of friends is like. weirdly purple? ok well in this pic it looks p gray BUT ON OTHER COPIES...... IF U UP THE SATURATION GKSJKDNFKDG

why is nyanko sensei smack dab in the middle HUH i couldve sworn he was bottom left this is so fucked up and scary. haunted manga volume??????? i bought it from a grarage sale idk you guys-

at least natsume's pose is like kind of right but also that's most definitely a complete accident i can ASSURE u (im rereading this the next day and the pose isnt even CLOSE what are u TALKING ABOUT)

anyway can i just fucking point out the kanji on the book of friends bc that is from MEMORY YEEHAW here's what it's Supposed to look like: 友人帳

LIKE even tho i got the last one wrong ITS LIKE STILL PRETTY CLOSE??? i think i deserve 100 points for this objectively

MOVING ON THO....

OK NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT SURPRISINGLY im actually like. i thought i bombed this one completely but liKE THE COMPOSITION??? KIND OF ON POINT. KIND OF GENIUS TBH

i remembered Blue and Madara and like what else do u need rly. butterflies are optional in all scenarios imo

also i NEVER have any idea what natsume's wearing in any of these so i always just like default throw him into his school uniform LMAO u will see a pattern

why is the book of friends burgundy in this one btw. it was GRAY i mean purple definitely purple aha

ok volume 3 im actually scared for i know i fucked up SOMETHING

HGLKFKGLKFKGFN OK!!!!! OK NOT SUPER AWFUL!!!! just noticed i forgor to color the book of friends fukg

main thing i remembered abt this one was the color of natsume's... attire.... and which characters were present. whats sensei doing all the way up in the top corner tho 0/10

return of the school uniform lmaooooo hm. irrelevant who cares plus didnt ask. all things considered this wasn't as bad as i thought. THE NEXT ONE HOWEVER,

hsngjfgnfjn okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

sensei's way cuter in this one than i realized wait wtf this cover's cute af how did i never notice. underrated cover -10 @ me. look at his lil BLEP >:O!!!!!!!

i knew there was some fuckshit going on w the yukata in this one ourhg i was just like hehe greeennnn also sensei's there. my work here is done

what is natsume's pose even hgnkg i was straight up making shit up at this point LIKE the first 6 or so covers are SO hard for me to distinguish in my head i should get a free pass for the poses in all of them like i can do whatever i want IM the artist now

oh god whats next vol 5

OK!!!! like a straight 5/10 TBH i literally forgot i was planning on rating these LMAO

i remembered the like white v-neck shirt thing and his pose kind of??? i had NO idea what to do for the yukata tho i just made it orange and u know what?? close enough. my rule of thumb is just like pick a color and then throw flowers all over it u cant go wrong

taki looks so much more mysterious on the original and also wearing a skirt. i gave her a big stick bc i thought i remembered her having one in general but i think i made that up tbh wouldn't put it past me. got her hat right tho hee haw

cant believe i didn't get natsume's beautiful artwork tho look at that little shit sensei up there god hes so ROUMD literally moma material

PROBABLY my best one yet uhhhh but i maybe cheated JUST a little for this one ITS LIKE BARELY CHEATING STOP BOOING ME

as i was toying w the idea of doing this redraw thing i was still working on collecting my Images and Pictures so i kinda started taking note of a few small things here & there and one of them was just. the general gist of this cover SO LIKE that's why it's so good LOL

forgor the flowers tho. i literally forget everything that isn't a character like immediately BUT OK CUT ME SOME SLACK like after a point the covers start being whole ass scenes which are SO much easier to remember shit abt than the fuckin Green Void (p sure this is the last green void cover tho)

8/10 composition is gr8 but details like the shirt & the yellow flowers are wrong, also the stick is backwards. i literally looked up what that thing is called and forgot already tee hee

OK WE'RE NOT DONE W THE GREEN VOID I REPEAT-

fuck dude. fuck. i rly thought vol 6 was the last one LOL not to spoil but as i was grabbing these images i saw a Preview of what's to come and the green void lasts until fuckign volume TEN LOL collapses onto the ground and dies

so erhermrm this is vol 7 lolllll i remembered the bg flowers this time can u believe hahaha distracts u from the fact that LITERALLY everything else is wrong auhghg

u know what the green void turned into bushes and i think that's beautiful.... like points for creativity on my part tbh. like to be completely honest. 3/10 i got the characters right

YO????? GATE CONFIRMED LET'S GO?????? it's definitely the school gate but i choose to believe natsume & tanuma r in jail for crimes and u should too

actually this is shockingly accurate for how much i goddamn struggled w this one gkjsldkg the CHARACTERS are right the OUTFITS are right SENSEI'S THERE urgh i knew one of these covers had tanuma holding sensei like that but i couldn't remember Which

i can't believe i actually got tanuma's pose that close i rly thought i was bullshitting w that one wtf. +5 points instantly

do u like how i just scribbled sensei wherever lmaoooo i drew natsume & tanuma & went like. i think sensei's in this one. PLOP

6/10 honestly closer than i thought

OK........ I SEE........ literally dies

this one i was getting MASSIVELY confused w vol 4 bc i could remember nothing distinct abt either of them except Green and natsume w Big Doggie

i remembered the BARE essentials of the composition but not much else... since i thought the green void was gone i put the green i remembered into natsume's yukata (and then put him in the school uniform again LOL) and went WELP. GUESS I'LL DIE NOW

2/10 honestly one of the worst fucking ones lskdjflsdkg

OK THIS ONE.... i almost died irl trying to remember this shit, even before i started and i was still viewing the covers i was like there is no way in HELL im remembering this shit for vol 10. and i was right

like. Purple. White Mask. Antlers. WILD layered clothing. at first i drew the mask as an actual deer skull but later had a straight up epiphany and redrew it like that which... still not correct but I MEAN.... IT'S PRETTY GOOD

i cant believe most of the purple is the bg oughgh his clothes are WHITE..... this is fucked up. i DID remember the stick tho, bells and everything!! actually bells and nothing else!!!

7/10 ok it might seem high but CONSIDERING this design..... i think i did shockingly well TBH

NOT...... the worst...... one....... i could've sworn he was sitting on a pile of books this is so sad that woulda been so cute 😭

for a second when i saw the real cover again i thought he was sitting ON the bookshelf and i was about to RIOT but its okay it's a step stool. still physically possible

my version of natsume here is so much more like Proper gksld he looks like a school boy... studying in the academy's library... hardworking student.... but no the real one is just sitting there like a wet puppy orz he's not even READING i rly thought he was reading. this is such a huge L

cannot fucking believe i was right abt the window tho. like wrong shape but the fact that it's even there.... giving myself a whole ass point for that one

5/10 i rly thought i nailed this one gksgndfkj

why is my natsume lying there like hes abt to start a therapy session, boy would NEVER-

also the plushie hmnmhnmhngnf i dont KNOW i knew there was some kind of prop there but like gun to my head i woulda died again. main colors that stood out to me for this were green and that bluish purple so i got those into mine but i mean. well u can see

once again a random window in the bg i got correct let's gooooo 5/10

LMAO SPITS OUT MY DRINK WHOOPSIE!!!!!!

this is so fucking bad im choking im gurgling LOLLLL i was SO sure natsume's paper had an eye on it i was POSITIVE this is so fucked up. i mean obvs i picked that up from sensei but like i didn't even KNOW sensei was there. or that there were bg characters at all uuuuuououohghh (matoba ignored +5)

i was like. black yukata red flowers CHECK piece of paper w eye CHECK horns CHECK i even went back and edited the horns to be more accurate i was so proud of myself sobs

ok but i knew it was shit trasjh when those were the ONLY details i could remember bc obviously there was gonna be more going on I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE.....

straight up dookie/10 no jk fr like 3/10 @ me u need to use ur EYES

OK..... I WAS VERY CONFIDENT ABT THIS ONE..... except for his outfit i knew i was bullshitting that BUT I THOUGHT I NAILED THIS ONE....... the one fucking time i didn't just default to his uniform LMFAO

even remembered the pink flower ball smh and for WHAT. i knew he was sitting in a pile of plushies & blankets or smth but no way in HELL was i even gonna attempt to draw them with a speck of detail. but HEY the plushie i drew for vol 12!!! i knew he existed Somewhere. he doesn't even have a horn tho thats so fucked up i thought he did

obviously the most striking thing abt this cover is the bg w that deep burgundy & the circular window so that was the main thing i nailed down right away (my palette was more muted tho). also natsume sitting there w paper in his mouth but i thought he was mid return when rly hes playing like keep-the-balloon-off-the-floor or whatever the fuck he's doing. i love u natsume

(if i thought he was in the middle of returning a name WHY didn't i include the actual book of friends flksglkd automatic fake fan/10)

[pachu09]

Because I woke up from a nap feeling awful.

Err...here's a sad snippet..

In which an Amnesiac Madara is convinced he's Tobirama’s lover. Which he loudly proclaim to everyone. To the frustration of one Albino Senju.

" Tobirama. "

Said Albino took a deep breath and counted down to three.

" Uchiha, call me by my surname. I repeat we do not have a romantic relationship. We are merely acquaintances and nothing more. Whatever happened to you must have knocked your brain hard for it to conjure that kind of ridiculous fantasy. "

Tobirama had to bite his tongue as he notice Madara’s facial expression flashing a complicated emotion.

Tobirama if he is a lesser man would have taken advantage of Madara’s amnesia. But what stops him is that he lives by a few righteous morals he still follows.

No matter how much he secretly loves Madara he cannot take advantage of the man's weakness at this point. Sooner or later, the man would regain his memories and his loathing of Tobirama will return too.

He finds it is certainly nice to be treated like a special person by the one he's pining for.

But Tobirama always had to remind himself.. it is all a lie.

And Tobirama is first and foremost a logical man; he'd rather live in pain with an unrequited love than live a life where love is just a sweet poisonous lie...

[mamadarama]

Omg it's ok yumeshipping is basically just "I don't like this plot so imma insert myself and change the narrative. Sort of."

So yume me was a student at Yumenosaki and an underachiever idol, affected by the war I try to jump off yk the usual, and Madara who was sick and tired of seeing the bodies pile up, rushed to save me. From then on yume me gets greatly indebted to Madara and decided to live so I can make a better world for all idols, never wanting the war to happen again. Madara, is happy to support and stay by my side for that.

One thing after another, they grew together over the years as solo idols. Madara helped him train and taught him how to realize his dream: to have enough power to stop any future disaster from befalling the idol industry that he loved so much. It's thanks to this that yume me becomes a member of P-Association as well as solo idol. This position gives him a good bird's eye view over ES, as much as P-Association wants to stay neutral. He uses this to his advantage, having an "eye" in every agency so he can keep tabs on all happenings. And Madara becomes something like his right hand man.

At first it was an empty title, Madara didn't think of him as anything like special, just another person who needed his power and protection. That's what Madara thought he was to yume me, but he was dead wrong when I fell in love with him. Stubbornly going out of my way to come help him and stay by his side every time he runs off, scold him when he does something rash, but still keep him in his arms. Even going as far as getting involved in darker business for Madara.

That dark business would only get deeper once Kohaku and DF joins the picture. Ofc, yume me is willingly diving headfirst into this. Madara didn't urge him to anything, he's willingly soaking in blood so he can be with Madara, and that's incomprehensible to him. He always wanted to keep that shining pure people away from this business, but seeing someone willingly follow him there...

He tries to push him away later on, but they can't stand being apart either. It's a back and forth of trying to detach but ending up finding each other again. I insist, I'll always be with him whether he liked it or not. Because I'll never let him suffer alone and think all he's good for is being my tool. I love him, he is worthy of love, I want to marry him, whatever. And he's just stunned, no matter how far along we get, he'll still question and he's unable to believe it every day. But the alternative would be to never have me again in his life and he can't stand that either.

At this point even Kohaku has seen how homoerotic these two are, and now there's two shorties aggressively showing their love for him. Two tiny guys who are by no means weak, and they don't need his protection either, so it's clear they have nothing to gain from loving him. Two tiny guys tying a giant like him down...

Someone to knock that sense into him, to make him listen. I'll keep doing it no matter what it takes, that's just who I am. I'll keep insisting and telling him even if it takes another 10 years for him to understand that I love him, he's not my tool, he's my partner both in crime and life. My dream started with him saving me and I'll keep saving him time and time again, that's only fair. I genuinely believe someone who'd take a bullet for him is just out of his mind.

Anyways my yume love for him is genuine and I will knock a rock into his brain until he understands. That's it basically help I rambled.

Tldr Madara saves guy and guy decides he wants revenge on Eichi and to never let the war happen again. He ended up being a member of P-Association with Madara as his right hand man in the shadows, and later Kohaku as well. Madara trusts him bc of his genuine heart, only to unexpectedly find that genuine heart to love him as well. Cue push and pull and oh the aNGST

- Madara yume anon 🍀

HDJSJBDBBBD AW THATS RLLY CUTE I LIKE THAT ..... you could totally drag that out into a slow burn too cuz madara is stubborn as hell and it would definitely take awhile to get it through his thick skull that youre not joking or just saying that when you say you love him . (especially with his tendency to start speaking in riddles before physically running away if you get too real with him.... youre gonna have to pin him down for that one lol)

UCHIHA WEEK 2023

Day 5 : Uchiha X Shonen

Madara Uchiha x Demons slayer

My first contribution with a lot of delay...I didn't realise initially that organising an event was so much time consuming!😅 But let's go and why not recycling my old visuals :

Plot : Madara has to meet and mark his compatibility with the main characters of demon slayer. He's in his early twenties before Izuna's death. So basically he still has a little bit of faith on humanity.

Madara x Giyuu

It will initially start with... a silence...a really long and awkward silence until Madara lost his temper and starts a fight. He's immediately impressed by his mastery of water breathing and decides to bestow him the honour of being a worthy opponent of Madara Uchiha. Giyuu is not sure to get what it means but he's relieved to not have to fight a random guy who isn't even a demon. As soon as Madara decides to treat him like a friend, he begins to be extremely talkative, and Giyuu zones out... Madara interprets that as a sign of him being in awe to what he is saying. He talks to him about the might of the Uchiha clan, how much powerful he is among his clansmen, his dear brother, Hashirama, his plan for peace ect... 7/10

Madara x Shinobu

She will initiate the conversation and he will pretend to royally ignore her. Shinobu will be fascinating by the thickness of his hair and keep asking for his hair routine. Since he likes bragging about himself he will explain and that will lower the tension between them. She's always teasing him and with time he's not insensitive to her charm... 8/10

Madara x Rengoku

It has been already seen in this video that they will go well together. Rengoku is most likely the member of the cast where he feels the most connected. In a way, with his flamboyant and straightforward character he reminds him of Hashirama, but Rengoku's mood is more stable and predictable which Madara surely appreciates. His mastery of the flame breathing is familiar to his katon. Really, Madara feels at home with Rengoku. Solid base for a friendship. 9/10

Madara x Inosuke

Madara senses that Inosuke is too weak yet to be a rival and will ignore his presence altogether. Inosuke however craves for a fight with the powerhouse he is and won't stop looking at him with stars sparkling in his eyes. Madara is always craving for people praising him and telling him how strong he is, with time he will tolerate his presence as a servant and gives him some orders now and then. 5/10

Madara x Zenitsu

Probably the most love/hate relationship. Zenitsu has an incredible hearing and as soon as Madara raises his commanding voice he knows that guy is a menace! He is panicking, yelling loudly and running around which ends up annoying Madara to the highest point! He puts him into a genjutsu to knock him down. This action results in awaking the sleepy Zenitsu. Madara is then enthusiast to meet that new confidence version of the blondie. He might master only one technique but he does it so well that it forces Madara's respect. Sleepy Zenitsu is welcome first into the infinite tsukuyomi. 2/10 awake. 6/10 asleep.

Madara x Tanjiro x Nezuko

He will immediately be moved by Tanjiro's story knowing that everything he does is to save his little sister. He will manifest his compassion for him by forcing him into the most severe Uchiha style training. Work, work, work... Not accepting weakness, always commenting that Tanjiro needs to man up and cries less. Literally tough love! 9.5/10

Nezuko for him is baby. He sees her the same way he cares for Izuna. She can literally do whatever she wants, approaching him, looking at his kunais, touching his armour, sleeping on his shoulder, braiding his hair while tanjiro is spitting blood after an intense taijutsu session. Madara's barely talking to her but he likes her presence. 10/10

[sucrows]

knock knock o/ 👉👈 i have... many madara mikejima thoughts. and im still thinking abt mutual obsession with him so uhhhhhh cw unhealthy relationship? we know why we're here... excuse me being annoyingly longwinded orz this is barely sexy. this is just me thinking abt mama im so sorry crow aaaaa

madara mikejima is the guy who would be at your service at all times— no questions just pure devotion. for as long as he is around you, you might as well say you have your own personal assistant. theres so many examples of him doing stuff for others and i will never shut up abt his fs1 where anzu was like hey what if your exclusive outfit was just a loincloth and he was on board purely bc she likes it. HE HAS 0 SHAME IN DOING EVERYTHING YOU SAY. NONE. YOU COULD ASK HIM TO BARK AND HE WILL. when that guy loves someone, he craves them with his entire being and desires nothing more than to be in their life.

he's also not above just. asking for a fwb situation. he wouldn't be so blunt about it, but it'd be a slow coercing. mama isn't above lying about his motives either. maybe he sees you're stressed and hey. let him massage your shoulders. lay down. oh your back is just tense huh? and it escalates until he's just fucking you with reckless abandon. well your stress is gone now so he offers to make this a regular thing. no strings attached and no worries. he just wants to make you relaxed.

here's where it gets messy. mama is also out of town a lot for work. he goes overseas, just touring around. but bc he spends every waking moment he is in town attached to your hip, his absence is so. prominent. and god it feels so awful not seeing him. phone calls arent enough. good morning and goodnight texts are sporadic because he's so busy. you miss having mama around to hold you while you do work.

and it's not great for him either. he's constantly worried about you. he can't get you out of his head. when he finally gets back it's like he's moved heaven and earth buying you various trinkets that reminded him of you (some even extremely rare and valuable since... he just collects those things anyway)

just. intense back and forth of hapoiness being with him every single day to devastating loneliness whenever he leaves. each time he comes back, ofc intense welcome home sex ensues. but it never goes past the fwb stage. any deeper feelings he's harboured are shoved aside and he grows distant when he feels like you want to get even closer. he always wants what he can't have. and he'd rather you not be caught up in whatever bullshit he goes through so he lies to himself saying he's content with meaningless sex and just doing things for you. even when you have consumed his entire thoughts. yet he's unaware that you are much the same. craving him more and more that you wanna get through to him. but HIS FUCKASS LONESOME WAYS MAKES YOU HESITATE. SO YALL JUST GO NOWHERE. AND ITS JUST A "what are we?" LOOP

mf.... madara just will not communicate. he can't go beyond superficial desires and acts of service because it scares him to face the fact these feelings have grown wildly out of control. it scares him because the moment he does, he fears his own self destructive tendencies will take over and he'll just ruin everything. whats more is that imo i think he would still unconsciously do things like distance himself, not speak to you for days even after coming back as like a way for you to grow to resent him. that way if things crumble he can just say oh the signs were there as if he didn't put those flags up himself.

uh yea 💚 thats all. uhm. unrelated i think youre super cool and i hope ya have/had a good day dependin on when you get to this 💚

minty i am going to become the JOKER if you do not stop apologizing for things i actively invited you to do and that is a THREAT /lh

anyways, this is soooo tasty idgaf if it's more angsty than horny i'm eating this up anyways, thank you for the meal 🙏

Madara Mikejima, King of Miscommunication. He adores you and puts you on such a high pedestal that it becomes nearly impossible to convince him to stand by your side as your equal. He believes that you deserve better so much but he's also too selfish to give you up. He's not worthy of you, but neither is anyone else.

He wants the emotional intimacy. He wants the domesticity. He wants everything. Hell, he probably indulges in these things pretty often in a FWB relationship, but he can't ever tie you down. The moment he gets the inclination that you're getting too attached, he runs. When you're truly in a time of need he will always be there for you but otherwise he's as fickle as the wind.

It's a horrendously painful but addicting relationship that neither of you can truly break off

Family Ties: Youngest

Ruby was more excited to be done with this pregnancy. Not that she was looking forward to labor again but she was tired of being pregnant. This was her last, she made Tajima swear this would be their last child. What she was hoping to be another little girl. Not that it really mattered at the end of the day.

This time Yura did not try to usher Tajima from the room, he’d just be waiting at the door being useless. At least at Ruby’s side he could keep her calmer. Or at least offer support. “Alright Ruby, you’re dilated enough to start pushing.” Yura told her after making sure the other healers were ready.

“God does it get worse after each pregnancy or am I just old?” Ruby asked as she shifted in her position.

“You’re hardly old, only twenty six.” Yura huffed looking up at the woman. “Come on, give me a good push and we can be done with this sooner.”

“I’d love to if the contractions would come.” Ruby said, rolling her eyes. Groaning, she pushed when the next wave came and went.

“You got this, darling. Soon we’ll have another girl. Beautiful just like you are.” Tajima said, brushing her hair back and moving the cool towel to her forehead.

“I know I can do it.” Ruby said, looking up at Tajima and squeezed his hand. “Just a matter of the baby actually wanting to come out.” She grunted as she pushed again. “They apparently do not want to be evicted.” She said with a forced laugh. “As long as it’s not as long as Kuro. Please don’t let it be as long as Kuro.”

“It’s only been an hour, so it definitely will not be as long as Kuro’s.” Yura pointed. “This is going much smoother, don’t fret over time.”

“Hard not to when it hurts.” Ruby groaned, pushing through the next contraction. “Arg come on baby,” She whined, squeezing Tajima’s hand.

—-

Madara and his siblings were waiting out in the yard, trying to keep themselves occupied until their newest sibling would be born. It was a sunny Febuary day when Izuna Uchiha was finally born. 

When Madara first saw the baby, he remarked Izuna was so little. “Aw, and she’s so pretty.” Madara said, reaching over his father to gently touch the soft patch of black hair. None of his other siblings seemed all that interested in the baby “Another girl in the family- isn’t that what you wanted mama?” 

Both his parents laughed, causing Madara to pout. “What’s so funny?” He huffed and crossed his arms.

“Izuna is a boy, Mada.” Tajima said, ruffling Madara’s hair.

“But mama said she wanted a girl … and she’s too pretty to be a boy.” He pointed out seriously. 

“Oh honey, that’s not how it works.” Ruby chuckled. “Though having another girl would have been nice.”

“Well then.” Madara huffed, glaring at both his parents. They still were grinning, obviously holding back their laughter. “Since you two know everything, how does it work then?” He asked, throwing his hands up.

“That is a very big conversation for us to have when you’re older.” Tajima said, pulling Madara into his arms so he could look at Izuna better.

“Papaaaa.” Madara huffed, but didn’t fight being held. “I’m getting older by the second.” Tajima laughed loudly, squeezing Madara. 

“You’re far too clever for your own good.” He said, pinching Madara’s round cheek. Whining Madara batted Tajima's hand away and turned to look down at his sleeping brother. Something drew him to his youngest brother, something was telling it was his job to watch over him.

“I’m your big brother, Ma-da-ra.” He sounded out his name, not that his new brother would be able to say it. “I’ll always protect you- you, Togakushi, and Kuro.” He said, causing his parents to coo.

 Edo Travel

Based on Junsui's amazing work. They're my favorite TobiIzu artists and all what they create inspires me to write, so here goes and adorable AU!

Pairing: Uchiha Izuna / Senju Tobirama

It was one thing to be summoned from the pure lands to fight a war, wearing his last living moment’s appearance but actually being dead.

It was quite another for his Hiraishin to mix with the Fourth Hokage’s and have Tobirama somehow travel back in time, still in his Edo Tensei form.

He was supposed to fight against the idiot Madara, and now the Senju is clearly stuck in the past.

It is recognizable by the scenery, one painfully familiar and memorized from his early years of life.

Now his mind is quickly trying to conjecture a way back to the present, or whatever that is, as Tobirama reminds himself: he was happily dead before this whole shit show.

Border River is the best place he could have gotten to appear in this time, since no one should spot him so as not to alter the course of events. How things happened for his life to end up being the way it was.

“Senju!”

And there goes the only rule he was bound to follow, acknowledging that voice anywhere, even with his eyes closed.

Tobirama is taking a deep breath before turning around and facing Izuna, when it’s the Uchiha’s sword which slashes his head from behind.

Rude.

Papers flying in the air, a few seconds pass until decapitation is fully reversed, Senju’s head growing back on his shoulders smoothly.

Tobirama exhales audibly as he turns, seeing the youthful face of an Izuna who looks to be in his nineteenth years.

Much younger than when he died under his blade a lifetime ago.

“You’re still the same pompous fool, now aren’t you? Striking from the back is dishonorable even for you, Uchiha.”

Crossing his arms and making use of his superior size, Tobirama feels satisfaction.

They were always equal, struggling to outdo each other but never succeeding. As Izuna now stands there, eyes wide open and an expression of horror for what he has just witnessed, Senju knows he has the upper hand.

His opponent is younger than him, the albino having passed away well into his adulthood. Making a living out of training disrespectful children and molding them into loyal warriors gives him enough patience not to slap the other right there and then.

“But-But… why…! your he-ead! I...!”

“You can’t kill someone who’s already dead, Izuna.”

And there goes again his strategy of not altering past events, as his opponent walks backwards on wobbly legs and falls sitting down when stumbling over a root, his terrified glance fixed on him.

But on second thought, perhaps this is no coincidence. Maybe the best way to defeat Madara is by preventing his pain.

Complicated task when this time’s Tobirama is on the other side of the river, trying to create the Jutsu which will murder Izuna years later.

“Up, brat. You and I will save the world from your demented brother.”

The Uchiha doesn’t really weigh anything; it dawns on the white-haired man as he lifts him up and places him over his shoulder, unable to handle Izuna’s inoperativeness for much longer.

His rival kicks and screams, demanding to be put on the ground and thrusting his sword into Tobirama’s torso. Tons of papers fly into the air until this Senju decides he’s had enough, using his Hiraishin to reach the cave hidden behind the river waterfall.

Only then does the Uchiha fall silent, trying to process how they moved so quickly from one side to the other.

Setting him down with a gentleness this idiot doesn’t deserve, Senju sits opposite him.

“Now you shall listen to me, and you shall listen carefully. I will train you to best me, dodge the blow which will end your wretched life. In return, you will let my younger self live. What became of your brother is something which might mine, and I don’t plan on returning to this awful world to fight Anija.”

Izuna holds his body with both hands on the ground, as if trying to move away from the revived man in front of him.

“What the hell are you talking about, Senju! Aniki is fine he-“

A large hand full of cracks squeezes Uchiha’s cheeks, making his words catch on his tongue. His face still keeps baby features, and Tobirama condemns the day he found his love for teaching.

“Shut up.”

After a long explanation and practical demonstrations to confirm his story, Tobirama gets the brat to believe him, realizing the gravity of the situation.

“How am I supposed to pick up dodging a teleportation technique?! And what the fuck were you thinking coming up with something like that!”

A little more relaxed on account of his Uchiha being on the same tune, this albino leans back against one of the cave walls, safe in the knowledge there won’t be any more flying swords toward his fake body.

“We are to do two things. First, you train your lazy ass to be able of evading and countering any attack. Second, and as much as I dislike setting my mark on an Uchiha, you will have my protection.”

That's how time passes, and Izuna shows up every day at the river cave to train with him.

His Hiraishin seal lies imprinted on the back of the Uchiha's neck, hidden by his hair. Thus, if his rival cannot escape that fatal blade's edge when the day comes, Tobirama can quickly remove him from the scene.

Being a dead man in the living's world is awfully boring, lacking any need to feed himself or go to the bathroom to entertain his head with anything.

When Izuna is gone, hours drag by slowly and tedious, darkness invading his mind as memories from the past come flooding back to him.

If the Jutsu has not been undone and the Edo tensei still stands, it means whatever Madara's plan was; he fulfilled it. Otherwise, that snake man who summoned him along with the others would have already broken the technique, allowing them to rest.

His rival loosens up around him, no longer acting so cautious and gaining confidence with his presence. Izuna is like a light every time his noisy presence pops up in the cave.

He bolts fond of him, angry at his past self for being so ignorant and not appreciating the one who stood in front.

Whose life he took.

Tobirama follows his little Izuna whenever he can't visit him, usually because of encountering an enemy clan to fight.

He convinces himself he is doing it only to protect the future they are trying to shape, but there is no way he can fool himself. He truly cares.

Proud as he watches Izuna strike down enemy after enemy, being much faster than he used to thanks to him, his eyes are always on the lookout in case he has to drag his Uchiha out of battle, making use of his technique to save his life.

The same technique which stole it.

Izuna even spent certain nights with him, escaping from the overprotective Madara to curl up against his assassin and sleep with him, even though Tobirama cannot find his dreams in this state.

With the Uchiha lying on his chest and between his legs, the Senju realizes killing him was the worst mistake of his entire life.

Their fateful meeting finally arrives, the albino being his pupil's shadow as he hides among the trees.

Seeing himself as a young man feels strange, but what makes him enraged is the hatred and anger his eyes project on the person he grew to love.

Such an idiot.

It takes a tremendous effort for him not to show up in the fight and get his Uchiha out of there when young Tobirama uses the damn Jutsu.

But a big smile of pride adorns his features when his rival smoothly sidesteps him, knocking out his attacker with the handle of his sword and placing a foot on his back when he falls to the ground.

"Aniki! It's time for you to accept that fucking peace treaty!"

It stunned all the warriors, a triumphant Izuna over his unconscious enemy.

Then a dazzling light falls from the sky, enveloping the revived Tobirama in a flash which sends him ascending into the air.

As the papers composing his body disappear, the corpse used for his summoning is revealed. While setting off for the pure lands, the Senju watches as his Uchiha caresses the hair of his former self lovingly, even as everyone looks at them blankly.

Past was changed, and the future awaiting them will be much better than what they had.

Of that, Tobirama is sure.
