Rebirth [MADASAKU FIC]

The Rebellion II

"Wow, so this is what having a boner feels like. Interesting." Sakura mused, unsure of the heat in her cheeks was her's or Madara's. "I mean, I get that you're a 24 year old virgin, Madara, but jeez getting this excited about a kiss?"

"Sakura?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut the fuck up." Madara seethed into his head, embarrassment clouding his vision. "Its your fault I'm a virgin! How am I supposed to do anything with someone living in my head. I can't even get turned on knowing that you're watching everything."

"Hey hey hey hey. If you wanted to get it on with one of the pretty ladies in the village I wouldve completely understood. You just could've asked and I'd get out of your head and go hang out with Hashi for a couple hours."

She could feel Madara's mood darken slightly and bit her cheek to contain her laughter. "I think by now you should be aware that I do not want to get it on with one of the pretty ladies in the village nor do I want you hanging out with Hashirama."

"Awww are you jealous?"

"That's it," Madara dragged a hand over his face. "That's it. I'm killing myself. Maybe then I'll get some peace."

"Woah! Don't say that just yet, good sir! In my experience it doesn't work very well anyways." Sakura grimaced, not sure how to go about what she was about to tell him. She just ripped off the bandage. "Izuna's outside."

A jolt of surprise ran down Madara's spine at the mention of his younger brother's name. She felt him reach out with his chakra, confirming this news for himself. "What the fuck..." he cursed with a grimace as he got to his feet. "Just let me catch a break. Holy shit today has sucked ass."

"Gotta disagree with you on that one chief—I had a fun date with Hashi."

"Sakura shut the fuck up."

"Anyways, you might want to go greet your brother before Hashirama breaks through the barrier and gets to him first," another explosion resounded from outside the tower. Sakura winced at the flare of pain in her side as Madara took a step forward. "Sorry about the patchwork healing."

"No worries, it was my fault for falling for their stupid trap anyways."

Madara made his way to the far side of his office, overlooking the front of the Hokage tower from a hole blown in the wall. Izuna stood there, looking rather small from that height.

Clutching his side and lacing his legs with chakra, Madara jumped from the ledge. He landed less than gracefully in front of Izuna and his eyes widened in shock.

"Why is he so young?"

Izuna didn't look small only from atop the Hokage tower, he was short in stature—barely any taller than he had been when he had left. A black butterfly was perched on his shoulder.

Revelation hit Sakura like a bolder and was quickly followed up with white hot rage. "Time moves slower in the world of gods."

"Brother?" Izuna's bewildered tone quickly caught both of their attentions. "Is that you? Why do you look so old? What is this? Where's mother and father? Where's our home? Why are there so many Senju scum crawling around here?"

Another explosion shook the ground as the two brothers stared at each other, neither quite processing the situation.

"Izuna where have you been? This is Konohagakure, a village I founded with Hashirama."

"Village? With Hashirama? That Senju boy? Where is father? How did he allow this? I've only been gone a few months."

"A few months? You've been missing for years, Izuna. Father is dead."

Izuna somehow got paler than he already was. The tears that had been pooling in his eyes streaked down his cheeks. "Father? Dead? And you're holding hands with the Senju clan? The people who murdered the rest of our siblings and so many of our clan members?"

Another explosion, this one louder than the rest, resounded through the air, and the green barrier surrounding them faded.

"MADARA!"

The two bother's attentions whipped to the man running towards them, clutching a very clearly broken hand. He was panting, evidently exhausted from his desperation to come to his best friend's aid.

".....Senju," was all Madara herd Izuna mutter under his breath before the boy lunged forward.

Sakura didn't have any time to process what happened next.

Izuna's punch hit Madara's stomach with a shocking amount of power, sending him flying backwards.

There was a sickening crack and a sudden and sharp pain in the back of his head.

Everything went black.
