The Light of Darkness | Madara Uchiha

36: Taking Control

Guys, I've started this book 3 years ago. I know of the Japanese sibling sayings are wrong a bit in this book. I know of the actual brother-sister words to use. And yes, Aiyama is older than Hashirama since I wanted this story to be different.

I just never gotten around to change this up a bit and edit more thoroughly. I will go back and change the Japanese sayings a bit. That would be it for now.

Enjoy~

Aiyama laid peacefully on the infirmary bed. Madara hasn't returned yet which isn't partially good depending on the situation. Izuna, on the other hand, sat next to her and sulked. How could he live knowing that she tried to die for real? 'Does she really want to end her life for the sake of others?'

Still, Izuna had no idea what she was planning behind the scenes, nor does he knows of her thinking pattern. Firstly, she technically got injured fighting those clones in the forest. And now when Takigakure got invaded, it was time where Aiyama was fading from the light again.

Izuna knew that she didn't want to end her life for others; that couldn't be the answer. There was another reason why she tried to drain all her chakra on purpose. Luckily he preserved enough of his own to give to her, or else the situation could have had been worse. Izuna placed his head in the palms of his hands thinking what his brother will do when he sees her again unconscious and, of course, in the infirmary.

He noticed the way her chakra changed its rotation when she is sleeping than awake. It's quite unusual however, her brothers are back at the Leaf a few hours away probably worried as hell.

A loud crash made Izuna jolt up readily grabbing his katana. Madara burst through the door; eyes blazing red. His anger was seething higher than normal. Izuna trembled where he was standing as he stared at his elder brother.

"What the hell did you do?!" he bellowed and walked over to see Aiyama laying peaceful; her skin colour pale and near lifeless. His hands clenched seeing her again in such a state. It was Chōmei that did this. The thought struck him like none before. Madara ignored his brother standing there for a few moments.

He brushed a few hair locks away from her face. His eyes soften seeing his love lay peacefully.

"I did nothing, she tried to kill herself and I'm trying to figure out why." Izuna sat back down in the chair next to the bed. The chair was backwards as he leaned over the back part lazily.

"Every time I order something, you both disobey. I won't be able to protect the village if you two reckless fools stop interfering with things." Madara slapped his own forehead trying to not show how mad he was. And finally, she got injured once again... well, would you call it injured? Madara has no idea what even happened? He wished Aiyama was near him next time.

"You love her, I know you do. You think of her as someone who needs to be protected. Maybe she doesn't think that she needs to be protected, Madara." Izuna's eyes glazed over her form that was still not moving.

"Like I care what she thinks," Madara tapped her forehead and was about to walk out. Izuna widened his eyes knowing what Madara just did. Even he was. A little mad, but possibly it's for the best?

"You placed her in your own genjutsu. So if she wakes up she will be under your control to do whatever. You're sick you know that." Izuna clenched his fists seeing how his brother was acting over the woman.

"And what if I did? It means she won't run around doing whatever. You stay here with her in case someone tries to come and take her or kill her." Madara had a serious expression before he disappeared at last. Izuna couldn't object or say something, he knew Madara wanted to kill that fugitive Daimyo at all costs.
