Your Beautiful Lie

Bitter sweet

3 years have gone by since that morning. Madara, now 20 years old, had become the new head leader of their clan. Taijama had already appointed his eldest child as a leader years ago but now that he's officially backed off he gave full responsibility to Madara. Izuna of course received the news and was happy and today was the meet up day.

Due to issues, the meet up was pushed back a few years. The Uzumakis and Uchihas came to a mutual agreement that today would be a perfect day. So, Madara was to head out to his brother.

I wonder how much you've grown my little brother...

He happily sighed to himself as he was getting ready to travel.

Finally arriving at his brother's location he was immediately greeted by his fellow Uchiha members as their respective leader. Initially, he was pissed at that idea but thinking about his brother became his priority. He smiled as he saw Izuna approaching.

"Big brother! Whoa, look at you! You've gotten so much bigger! You look so cool!! Such a stylish hair." He chirped as the oldest smiled "And you as well Izuna. So, when's the meeting and where?" Izuna sheepishly smiled "Well..." Madara raised a brow at the sudden suspicious behavior.

"Right now."

He felt his eyes almost popping out of his sockets "RIGHT NOW!? WHY ARE WE STILL HERE?! TAKE ME THERE!!" Both ran for a while before reaching the meet up spot "They are in here. Are you ready?" Madara nodded and Izuna reached for the doorknob.

"Sorry for the wait. Our leader has finally arrived." Izuna nervously chuckled as he entered the room "Oh, it's only been a few minutes, no biggie." A red haired woman stated. Soon Madara entered but then he felt his entire world freeze.

'Why. Are. THEY. Here.'

"Oh, Izuna must have forgotten to mention! We Uzumakis had formed together with the Senjus. Sorry for the surprise. I'm Mito and this is my husband, Hashirama Senju. He's actually the current head of the Senju clan. Along with his younger brother, Tobirama. It's a pleasure meeting y-" Madara felt his entire being going into a fight or flight mode and soon he began to hyperventilate and immediately bolted out of the room.

Startled, Izuna apologized and ran after him in confusion. Mito was intrigued and thought he had a nervous breakdown and pestered the two to follow.

"I think he felt overwhelmed by all of us...he must've expected one person so his actions are understandable. Hashi, Tobi, we need to be supportive!" She got up and left.

"....."

"....what the hell..." Tobirama whispered "Was that...." Hashirama slowly nodded but was still in a state of shock. It's been years since they've been face to face. "I...Tobirama...." The white haired male only raised a hand in response "We have to pull back. I never even wanted to form an alliance with them." Tobirama angrily scoffed "...It's been years...brother no! We need this alliance! We can't have them as enemies...Madara!" He stood up and ran after the group.

"No! I said no Izuna!" Madara had both hands on each side of his temples as he was on the verge of breaking "Brother! Please! Why? What's wrong?! Please tell me! I want to help you! Please!" Izuna begged as Madara leaned against a tree sliding down to the ground.

"Nothing! We will not accept any sort of alliance from them! NEVER. Not even being dead will that happen! Izuna I-" both heard a twig snap and turned to spot Mito and, unfortunately for Madara, Hashirama too.

"That's too sorry to hear. Please, hear us out Madara-sama. Hashi, say something...." She whispered as she pushed him forward, only triggering Madara some more "Uh, h-hey, s-she's right...p-please...we...uh...yeah" She rolled her eyes.
