Hi! this is the third part of the Obelisk series, so enjoy it!
Naruto is not mine!
"Urrrghhhh, this hurts" said Byakuya, rubbing his head. He and his brothers landed in a not very soft ground, in the middle of the woods. But the thing was that Sorato managed to fell in a bed of sheets and Izuna in another while he did so just over a root that hit his back and made it crack. "What the hell happened?"
"I don´t know" answered the genius, lifting himself from the ground with a growl. "But this seems somewhat familiar…"
"To me too" the last child said and ran to his brother to heal him. The oldest lifted himself and tried to remember when he was there. He saw a few ghosts of the past, three children from different ages but clearly family playing in that place. "Hey, this is the playground…" they looked at him as if he was crazy. "Our playground! The one we used when we were children! Don´t you remember we used to climb that tree?"
"Now that you are talking about it… yes" the raven got closer. "And it had the marks we did when we were measuring Izuna´s height" he pass his hand through it. "This can´t be right, this are too fresh to be the same marks…"
"Too fresh?"
"Yes! It has been years since we died, but the last mark is still somewhat fresh! We did it when he was pregnant with Otohime!"
"Yes, this is strange" they walked around the woods. Then they finally arrived at the place their house used to be, a simple cave no one could ever believe was inhabited by a man and his three children. They were received by the smell of… "Mama is making inarisushi, I could recognize that smell anywhere"
"There is some milk too"
"Probably for Hime-chan" Izuna got in, but his brothers looked down.
"What are you saying, Izu? She isn´t a baby anymore and Mama isn´t alive either" Bya started getting down and found the familiar sight of their mother in the kitchen. He was out of breath, activating his Sharingan to make sure he wasn´t hallucinating. And yes, it was Uchiha Madara in person, making himself something to eat. "Mama…"
"Eh?" Madara turned around and faced his son. His eyes went wide. "I… Am I hallucinating?" he asked to himself. "Or are you a ghost? Because you can´t be…"
"What are you talking about, mama? I´m Bya"
"Bya… but it can´t be! My Byakuya is dead! That damn… that man took him away from me for his pretty little village! He has been dead for days and now the ghost of my failure has come to take revenge for not protecting him…"
"No, mama, I´m here" he got closer and grabbed his mother´s hands, putting them on his face. "I´m your son, Byakuya, I´m back" Madara activated his Sharingan and recognized his child´s chakra. He immediately hugged his eldest, nearly strangling him. "You didn't believe that we were going to leave you alone, don´t you? Because you can´t clearly take care of yourself!"
"Bya… my Bya…"
"Oh, and more came back with me!" his brothers approached. Madara jumped in front of them and hugged each one for the longest time on his life. He couldn´t believe it, destiny actually took pity of him for once and returned him his babies.
"My babies… don´t leave me again"
"Mama" Izuna cried. Sorato covered his eyes with his hair, but he was crying too. He missed his mother a lot in his stay in the other world… the hug ended when his and his brother´s stomachs growled. "Mama, we are hungry. We haven´t eaten anything since I came back to life!"
"Of course, just wait a second until I finish with some more inarisushi" the oldest Uchiha ran to the kitchen to make the food when a cry was heard. "Otohime is hungry, you will have to wait for some more time…"
"No, I got it" Izu grabbed his child and feed her. "I´m her mother after all"
"I will get everything ready to eat" said Byakuya and Sorato went to help. Usually he wouldn´t do it, but now… he was just happy that his family was reunited that he couldn´t care. A little housework wasn´t going to kill him after all. When all was set and the inarisushi in front of them, they ate as if they have never eaten in their lives. Once they finished Madara took his opportunity to talk.
"I just want to say to you boys that… how can you be so stupid!" he finally blew up, scaring them a bit. It was no good news for anyone, not even them, when their mother was that angry. "Izuna, what have I ever said about Konoha?! When I told you not to go to that place, then don´t! you can´t just go around doing stupid things, Izu…"
"Sorry, mama" he lowered his head.
"And you, Byakuya! What have I told you about your temper! I´ve said thousands of times that it was going to kill you in a battle, but I never thought you were so stupid as to make it reality! And you are the oldest! You have to set a good example for your younger brothers! Why haven´t you worked on that?"
"I´m… sorry"
"And Sorato, I´ve always deemed you more prudent than your brothers, but you have proven me mistaken."
"In my defense, I was manipulated to…"
"That´s no excuse! You should have known that before and avoid being trapped in such a situation!" Madara broke down crying again, startling them. These days without his babies have been a total hell, destroying him inside. "You surely are a bunch that would make any mother cry! Even me!"
"Mama… don´t cry please, we are here and we are sorry" said Byakuya.
"Yes, we didn´t want to get hurt, just… we didn´t want to hurt you either" Sorato continued.
"And we promised that we are not going to make it again" finished Izuna.
"Ow, come here!" he grabbed the three of them and hugged them again, crying into his eldest child´s shoulder. The younger Uchihas saw each other and tried to calm down their mother, promising that they won´t do it again. Finally it was very late when the former clan head calmed down and let them take him to his bed, lying him to sleep. "I know that you three are too old for this, but… can you sleep with me?"
"Sure thing" Izuna left his baby on the crib in the room and he and his brothers lay down on the bed. In the middle of the night Sorato woke up, feeling someone watching them. He shook Bya awake and they both got out of bed. Izu followed them, not sure of what was happening, but the serious look on his sibling´s faces made him frown.
"I know you are in there, Zetsu, appear!" ordered Sorato, activating his Rinnegan.
"Ohhh, the prodigy child that I couldn´t use is back… and the useless ones too" said the goo, getting out of the earth. "How did you manage to come back from death? I can´t believe even you are able to achieve that"
"It was a team feat… like your defeat is going to be" answered the purple eyes teen. They all got into battle stance. The brothers then fought against Kaguya´s Will, who was sneaky as hell and cunning like a snake, but he ended up making a bad movement and Izuna could strike him down with a chakra scalpel. He howled and retired, leaving no trace. "Damn! We lost him"
"He isn´t going to last long…" chanted the youngest, flexing his fingers.
"What do you mean?"
"I used a parasitic fungus on that blow, one of my specialties is attacking someone with a modified bacteria or virus to be aggressive enough to kill them" the little brunette surprised the other two. "He won´t last long"
"Hey, what are you doing outside at this hour?" asked Madara with Otohime in his arms. "Izu, the baby is crying, she needs you."
"Right away!"
"And you two, back to bed, now"
"Okay" it was good to be home again.
-In another time-
Indra woke up on the floor of a forest he had never seen before. He rubbed his head, that was pained, and looked around. No, there was definitely nothing known to him there. He continued walking until he located a village in the distance. Hum, Futami-san always said that you shouldn´t enter to an unknown place without preparing. And he was right, suddenly he was surrounded by men in masks and with an identical tattoo in their arms.
"Captain, we found the source of the chakra, it´s this boy" said one of them, startling the young ninshu user. He wasn´t accustomed to someone threating him like that.
"He seemed normal, what do you think, Tora?" the one with the tiger mask made a hand sign. The Ootsutsuki instinctively backed away, knowing the kind of effects those movements had. He wasn´t the inventor of them for nothing.
"He has jounin class chakra reserved" commented the sensor. "He must be a spy from another village!"
"What?" asked Indra.
"You will come with us" said the ANBU captain, grabbing the teen by the arm and trying to drag him. It was rather rough and the young male suffered a flashback. Suddenly he was ten and Yami was saying those same words, using that same grip to drag him to a room where the rest of rapists were waiting. He went into panic and activated his Susanoo.
"Get away from me!" he screamed in terror. "Asura… Asura, help me!" he hated being weak enough to depend on others, but now he was not thinking straight. "Dad… Daddy, please help me! Help me!"
"Back away!" ordered the team leader and his men obeyed. They drew out their weapons and used chakra to fortify their blades. "He is an Uchiha! How could this be, there are only four in the world and all of them are here"
"I don´t know, but he is unstable" said another. "We have to catch him before he gets to the village, that would be a disaster."
"Can we? This Susanoo seem strong"
"Call Itachi Uchiha" the captain asked his sensor and he nodded, communicating with the village. Since his name was cleared, Itachi returned to the ANBU corps. Short time after he was joined by Kisame, who managed to get the last bits of information that would help to the utter destruction of Akatsuki. The shark, thanks to his help, was allowed to stay in the village along with his family. He was content… when Sasuke wasn´t in the village, ripping holes in his head. That day the fish and his weasel were getting out of the hospital after one of the regular revisions the raven had for his sickness.
"I told you it was nothing, I´m a lot better now" he said. "And we shouldn´t left the girls alone, they are learning how to crawl and…"
"I know, it´s easy for them to make disasters" they were interrupted by a voice in their heads.
"Uchiha taicho, we have a problem in the forest" the ninja frowned.
"What kind of problem?"
"There is an Uchiha and he is unstable, attacking us with the Susanoo" informed the sensor, grunting when he was forced to jump in the middle of the communication. "Please come quickly, he is completely nuts!"
"Itachi…"
"I know, Kisame" the raven bit his lip. The shark made a move to grab his sword, that he carried everywhere. "No, you can´t come. Go home and take care of the girls. Tell Sasuke and Obito what is happening and sent them there in case he… there are more."
"You are thinking about Madara´s children again, no?" asked the former Kirigakure ninja. "Look, it was no one´s fault Izuna played us…"
"He was brought back because of me and the girls were young, I should have watched him closely for them and this probably wouldn´t have happened"
"Come on, this could be another Uchiha…"
"Are there more?"
"Touchee" admitted the shark. "Just be sage, okay"
"Oh, I will" and he left. Kisame did as he was told and knocked on his brother in law´s door until the brat finally opened. They glared at each other before Sasuke departed to help his brother. Before doing the same in Obito´s house, he covered his eyes. After getting over his relationship with Zetsu, the former masked nin started one with Kakashi. He was happy now, the only thing was that they usually used the time Rin was at the Academy to make things that could be not appropriate for children.
"Hey, are you dressed?!" he yelled.
"What?" asked the raven, who was just wearing his underwear. After telling them the situation, Obito grabbed his clothes and got dressed quickly, ordering Kakashi to stay at the house. "I will be back soon"
"Do you think they think that the one who is attacking is one of Madara´s children?"
"Without any doubt"
-In another part of the forest-
Asura woke up after a particularly hard landing, holding his throwing head. He looked around for any sign of his brother, trying to locate him. The Ootsutsuki still remembered the promise he made to his father, to protect his older brother with his live while he was still healing and he wasn´t going to fail at that. He started walking, yelling Indra´s name, when…
"This was the other source of chakra we sensed" said a man with a mask. Asura turned around and saw that he was surrounded by them. "What do we do captain?"
"Capture him, immediately"
"Eh? I don´t know what you think you are doing, but…" then he noticed one of them was making hand signs to use a strange technique. Since when a jutsu can bind someone? He has been there since the stupid things were invented and he didn´t see that. He got angry. "You messed with the wrong boy, mister" he broke the rope. "Now you are going to taste my futon."
"He has jounin class chakra reserves or even more!" screamed one. "He must be a spy!"
"Spy? What´s a spy?" asked the younger male.
"He is a Fuuton user too, captain"
"Back down, I will take care of him" said one of them. The captain did as he was told and Asura got into fighting stance. If this guy thought that he could easily defeat one of the Rikkudo Sennin´s children then he was sadly mistaken. "You better not offer any resistance" he made strange hand signs and then yelled something about Mokuton… and tree branched lunged at him. Asura fought them, but he wasn´t the clumsy little brother for nothing. He was captured rather quickly.
"Let me go!" ordered the captive.
"Excellent, Yamato-san, now we got him"
How was it? Where do you want Hashirama and Sasuke to land. other affected are comming too! Hope you like it! Review!
"Better stop talking and take him to the village, he is strong" the Wood Style user said and like that Asura was dragged to the village.
