Chapter 1

An era of never ending fighting engulfed the ninja world in a time known as warring states. Village were not yet founded and ninja clans lived separate of each other. Clan rivalry was going strong in these times especially for clans like the Uchiha and Senju. If a client hired Uchiha they enemies hired Senju and vice versa time and time again only creating more and more hatred between them.

Going into the Uchiha clan now however you wouldn't think of that as a celebration of sorts was about amongst the members. Everyone seemed happy well until you got to one simple house. Various herbs and medical utensils would be put up neatly in the house as the owner would be examining a guest. Obsidian hair messy with a length that went down just past the base of his neck, equally black eyes, and a slightly sun touched pale skin, the examiner would be dressed in a simple silver kimono with Uchiha crest on the back and lightly colored wooden sandals on his feet. Seemingly satisfied with his examination he looked at his guest with a playful smile he would speak.

"Well Madara it would seem you were hit with a serious case of nerves my friend." he would say moving to pick up some herbs as well as mortar and pestle to grind them up with.

"Are you certain that is all it is Kage?" Madara would ask not looking to convinced.

"Positive, here this should help settle your stomach." He said giving Madara the freshly crushed herbs.

The other man took them as instructed while Kage moved to wash his tools for later use. They sat there silently for a while as he did this then went to prepare for the apparent celebration to happen outside later. Neither he or Madara seemed too enthusiastic about it but it was one of those things that could not be helped. Madara was being declared leader today and everyone seemed happy enough well except for Madara himself.

"So you are becoming leader today, guess I will be the first to say congratulations." Kage would say with a wink to his soon to be superior.

"Heh, do you think the clan will accept me?"

"Doesn't matter you worked hard and deserve the title, although that said I do believe they will love you."

"He is right Elder brother you have nothing to worry about." A voice would say from the doorway.

"See even Izuna believes in you" Kage said.

"I suppose you are both right" Madara would say standing and walking to the doorway with Izuna. "Well Kage I suppose we will see you later then."

"Yup wouldn't miss it if i could." He responded with a slight laugh.

Now smiling Madara and Izuna left to get themselves both ready for it. Kage and them were all really good friends had been for years and he was genuinely happy and supportive of Madara. Anticipation for the night lasted up until the end of the inauguration of his friend to which afterwards he went to meet the brothers only to be met with the sight of the other clansmen meeting with them. Releasing a slight sigh he turned and went back home making sure everything was put up. Satisfied he started to head to bed until he heard his door open so had to go see who it was.

"I didn't get to see you there afterwards." Madara would say upon seeing Kage.

"Well you did seem a bit busy with everyone else so I decided to try and save you the trouble of seeing my ugly mug." Kage responded teasingly.

"But that was the one I wanted to see most." Madara teased back.

"I see, sorry sorry."

"Hard to believe still that this has happened."

"Well better start believing because you will have a lot more responsibilities now."

"Oh I know do not worry."

Bother men would laugh for a bit Kage inviting his friend in for a cup of tea. They sat in idle chatter both enjoying the other's company for a while. It was nice but Madara seemed as though he had something on his mind.

"Do you think things will change for us now?" he asked finally.

"Well we won't be able to spend as much time together but overall it shouldn't."

"I hope not you have been good to me and Izuna."

"Oh I still plan to be, My dear leader." Kage said Madara looking shocked a moment before offering his friend a warm smile idle chat picking but up until he went home for the night.
