The two Senju siblings started into what was left of the next room following the nearly suffocating chakra.
"Fucking damn arrogant Uchiha asshole. Now we'll have to rebuild the damn house." Tobirama muttered completing some seals for a jutsu then pausing as he waited for his brother's order.
"Madara… please let us explain what happened." Hashirama insisted as he saw the glowing armored figure of Madara's Suano'o, the ceiling of the house mostly destroyed by the warrior's massive body.
Madara was standing inside the blue guardian that surrounded him. His Eternal Mangekyo shining vibrantly and his long mane of hair flowing strait up from the use of his overwhelming chakra.
"The situation is clear to me Hashirama Seju! I don't need any explanation!" Madara bellowed, allowing the warrior he controlled to raise its sword.
"No it was Amegakure!
Madara paused raising an eyebrow at the statement.
"Amegakure?" he asked curiously.
"Yes. Izuna had been spying on the leader there, he had heard something of a plot. He decided to check it out without me knowing where he was going Madara."
"What… but how did he learn of this? He would have come to me for help! Why didn't he-"
"Izuna was captured on his last visit there and he was… brutally tortured. Tobi had found Izuna in the Konoha forest like this." Hashirama insisted.
The shock of the information struck Madara so hard that he collapsed to his knees, his body trembling as his thoughts raced on his baby brother.
The Uchiha's legendary Susano'o disappeared with a loud echoing roar.
Tobirama muttered a few curses as he watched some timbers fall from their ruined ceiling onto the floor beside the Uchiha.
"T-Tortured?" Madara asked shakily.
"Yes, I healed his injuries to the best of my ability… but the damage on his face had been far too severe. That's why there is scarring. As for his leg… it was already gone when my brother found him in the forest."
Madara's face snapped up to look at his hokage.
"G-Gone? What?" he asked fearfully.
Hashirama hesitated, realizing the man must not have noticed that part.
The Hokage approached his friend before kneeling down and pulling him to his feet.
"Come with me." He whispered softly, leading Madara back into Tobirama's bedroom where Izuna was resting.
"Fucking arrogant Uchiha…" The younger Senju fumed looking around the trashed part of their home, before following them into his room.
Hashirama led Madara back over to where Izuna lay and slowly removed the blankets enough to reveal his lower body.
"N-No… oh kami… I-I… please…" Madara stuttered slowly climbing onto the bed with his younger brother.
"Not you Izu... kami… please n-no…" the older Uchiha continued as he gently lifted his brother up a little so his body was resting against his.
That would be around the point where Madara crashed, his body trembling as tears and sobs started to escape him.
Tobirama stared a bit, he had never even seen the Legendary Uchiha cry before, so a breakdown such as this was highly unexpected by him.
"I… a-am *sob* so… so very sorry otouto… *sob* please… f-forgive me… I-Izuna-chan…"
"Madara… there's something else… you should probably know too." Hashirama stated sending a nervous glance at his brother, who shook his head frantically telling him not to mention that part.
"W-What is *sob* it…?" he half-snapped and half-cried.
"They didn't… just torture your brother. Izuna-chan was also assaulted… sexually."
Madara's tremors stopped immediately, replaced with a tense stiffness at the words.
"What… what did you say?" he asked in a dangerous voice.
Hashirama took a step back, he could sense Madara's chakra rising, indicating a violent oncoming outburst.
He was about to reply, but was interrupted by a loud shrill scream that came from the younger Uchiha brother.
Madara's attention was immediately diverted when a sharp fist shot up and hooked him in the jaw almost making him fall backwards and drop Izuna.
"N-No! Get away from me! Leave me alone!" Izuna started screaming struggling with all his might to get free from Madara's protective hold, and away from his older sibling's body that he was leaned up against.
"Nngh… Izuna stop!" Madara shouted firmly grabbing his brother's flailing arms and holding both wrists together in one of his strong hands.
"Please! L-Let me go! *sob* Don't hurt me! I-I won't tell them what I *sob* heard! I swear!" Izuna continued in his panic.
"Little brother stop! It's me!"
Izuna stiffened at Madara's voice, it sounded so familiar to someone he had thought was dead long ago.
"N-No… Takama! Why do you keep haunting me! *sob* W-Why are you *sob* trying to h-hurt *sob* me! I-I *sob* I'm s-sorry I couldn't stop those *sob* Senju from killing *hiccup* you! I-I *sob* I w-wasn't f-fast enough! *sob* Please… *sob* brother f-forgive me!"
Madara's eyes shot open in both shock and horror, glancing up at Hashirama he scowled, there was more to this than they were telling him.
He understood though why Izuna thought his second older brother was there.
Their father Tajima Uchiha, and their mother had always told him that he and their brother Takama sounded almost exactly alike, even though Takama had been slightly younger than himself, while Izuna had been the baby of the family.
"Shh… Izuna-chan… otouto, Takama isn't here. He's dead, he has been for quite some time… which was not your fault either. It's Madara… I'm right here Izu… I won't let anything happen to you… please." He tried to soothe.
"Stop it! *sob* Please leave me *sob* alone!" Izuna cried again, his eyes slowly morphing into his Mangekyo.
The moment Madara saw the start of black flames erupting on Tobirama's shoulder, he realized the younger Uchiha had tried to activate his Mangekyo in desperate attempts for self-defense, and immediately clamped a hand over his brother's eyes.
"Enough! Izuna! You are safe otouto! I won't let you get hurt again! Let me help you!"
"Don't touch me! *sob* Let go of me! I don't want you *sob* to touch me! I don't want anyone to *sob* touch me! *sob* *hiccup* P-Please let go! *sob* I'm scared…"
Madara froze at his brother's statement, glancing at the two Senju in the room he glared at them hatefully.
"Leave us." He snarled, daring the two to disobey his order.
Hashirama was reluctant, but he allowed his brother to pull him out of the room and close the door.
"Please… *sob* *sob* I don't want to… *hiccup* I'm scared… k-kami I'm *sob* scared. I-I don't want to d-do that *sob* again. I-It hurts… *sob* I don't… don't want to… please… *sob* just l-let go… *sob* of me… *sob* I-I'll do whatever you *sob* want… please." The boy sobbed.
Slowly Madara removed his hand from his brother's eyes, and released his wrists, praying for a good reaction… he hated seeing Izuna scared..
…in pain.
