Characters: Fem!Hashi, Fem!Madara, Mito Uzumaki, Tobirama, child OC
Pairings: Fem!HashiMada, TobiMito
Warnings: None.
Uzumaki-Senju Akane loves her parents. She loves her beautiful, talented mother, whose dark red hair she inherited and was named for. She loves her strong, quiet father, whose intelligence she had been born with. However, as much as the six year old loves her parents, she absolutely adores her aunts.
Her aunt Hashirama, who is the Hokage, and taller than almost everyone, with her pretty hair, and soft eyes, who grows flowers and braids them in Akane's hair as she giggles, and helps her with her chakra control exercises and encourages her to do her best, and inspires her to become a medic-nin when she's older. Her aunt, who babysits her whenever her parents want some time to herself, or when they have to go out of the village for diplomatic reasons, who slips her sweets whenever she sees her darling niece. Akane adores her aunt Hashirama, but as much as she does, she absolutely Idolizes her aunt Madara (much to the consternation of Tobirama, and the amusement of everyone else).
Madara who always makes funny faces and looks terrified whenever Akane is entrusted to her care (only by either Hashirama or Mito). Who has no patience for "childish" things and always teaches Akane something interesting and useful when the child is with her, telling her stories about the history of the land and the clans who live in the growing village, about her own history, and the great battles she's fought. Madara who lets Akane stay up late, comfy on her lap as they sit on top of the Hokage monument and Madara teaches her about the stars, the constellations, and tells her stories about each and every one that her own mother told her when she was even younger than Akane is. Her aunt Madara who is so strong, and so beautiful, despite the scars that cover her, and the permanent scowl, and the mess that she calls hair. Akane loves watching her aunts spar, and she declares that not only is she going to become the best medic-nin after Hashirama, but she is also going to be stronger than Madara and show the world just who Uzumaki-Senju Akane is because she's going to be the next Hokage (Madara's eye twitches a little because of course the brat ends up with a personality like Hashirama's, but she can't help the fact that her lips twitch too, because that utter dork is grinning at her niece, and promising that they'll help her reach her dreams, and okay, so maybe she's a little fond of the twerp, but who in the village isn't?).
Uzumaki-Senju Akane loves her parents and her older siblings, there is no doubt about that. But she adores and idolizes her aunts, who (as reluctant as Madara would be to admit it) love the little girl as if she were their own, and they promise to each other that Akane will never grow up like either of them did, that she will grow up healthy and strong, and never ashamed of who she is, and she will grow up to be great. (She does grow up to be great.)
