"We need to find a medic nin now" said Torifu Akamichi, trying to tend to the cut in Danzo´s arm. Their team has just finished a mission when they were ambushed by a team of Iwa shinobi, who apparently were the surprise attack team. The three jonin neutralized them, but the Shimura was hurt with some kind of poison and…

"I will go to the village to see if they have a healer, will be back soon" said Kagami, worried too. His friend was having a bad fever and only because he was too distracted thinking about the happy news he received from his girlfriend before leaving the village. He was running in the place, asking everybody if they know where the healer of the village was, when he saw a familiar figure, walking with something in his arms. He turned to him immediately. "Izu!"

"Hum?" the teen turned to him and frowned. Why was he here again? Last time he saw that particular things went a little wilder in his life. "Kagami? What do you want?"

"One of my teammates got badly hurt, please heal him" he pleaded, looking to the ground. "Hey… look, I know that you probably hate me now and you have a reason, but please, he is going to die. I can pay you or do whatever you want…"

"In fact, there is one thing you can do for me… after you pay me and we will call it even" the younger Uchiha answered. "Show me where he is, I have some medicine in a scroll that can work miracles on posions"

"Thank you" they started running. "You are always prepared, no?"

"When you live outside a village, you have to. We don´t have the same privileges that you Konoha shinobi have" he informed, looking to the ground. Was this really right? That man… last time they saw each other he lied too. They reached the place where Torifu and the injured Danzo were. "He is okay for now, in fact you could have probably reached Konoha nad he would be still in time to be saved"

"I told you so" said the Akimichi.

"But now that he is here, I will heal him" Izuna put his hands at work, thinking that finally he was going to have the opportunity to make Kagami to meet their…

"I… think I should keep my end of the deal now" said the older Uchiha while the other worked. "First, I have to say sorry for all, I never wanted to hurt you and I know that what we had was real… but… I was only a stupid bet I made with Homura and Danzo" this shook the little brunette to the core. "I should have never accepted it, I took advantage of you and I´m sorry for that"

"It´s… it´s nothing, really" he controlled his breathing and chakra, but inside he felt as if he was falling apart. He has truly believed that man loved him that time and that they could be together again once he saw their beautiful daughter… guess he was wrong. "I… made some stupid things too, let´s forget that even happened"

"Fine by me"

"Ammm… before we do that, I should tell you that…"

"Hey, Kagami" Torifu entered again to the room. "I heard from mister Fever that you are having a child, is that true?"

"Danzo, you… I will only forgive you because you are sick" he crossed his arms. "Yes, it´s true, Aoi and I are having a baby"

"Congratulations, man" they shook arms while the youngest in the room tried to keep his tears in. He felt like an absolute fool right now. "Aren´t you going to congratulate Kagami too? Aren´t you his friend?"

"Just his acquaintance and… yes, of course… once I finish healing your friend" he quickly administered the antidote and ended with the gash. "There, all solved. He should be back on his feet within hours"

"Thank you, Izu?" the hugged the medic, who felt very tempted to slice him to bit with his chakra knife. The Niidaime´s apprentice somehow felt the danger and released him. "No hard feelings, no?"

"Of course not, feel free to ask my help whenever you want, I´m happy to help" he answered. The Konoha ninja departed once Danzo was okay to travel and Izu picked up his things and went home. He found no one there, nothing strange. His mother was probably buying some house implements with his daughter, Sorato should be on a bar having fun as always and Byakuya, always the responsible one, on a mission. He made a beeline to his second older brother´s room and grabbed a bottle from the "secret" stash he had. Quickly and without needing a glass, he started drinking…

"I think we should drag that idiot by the ear, he doesn´t do anything to help with the house and…" Byakuya was returning with Madara after they finished with their things, only to find Izuna laying on the floor, drunk and in a bad humor. "Ehhh…"

"Are you alright, sweetie?" the oldest Uchiha kneeled down besides him.

"Do I look okay, mama?" he answered, hiccupping a bit, then have an abrupt change of humor. "I should have never thought about a man in my life… hic… Sora-nii is right… once should be BACHELOR FOREVER!"

"Izu, you are drunk" tried to soothe him his brother. "Just lay down and… probably the day after tomorrow you are going to feel better."

"I´m never going to feel better… hic… because this family´s luck on men is haunting me!" he screamed. "Holy shit, no wonder Sorato is the smartest of us four, he realized first that we have the worst of lucks on men… hic… just see mama, three kids, without a boyfriend or a prospect on sight" Madara felt like punching a wall, because he will never touch his son. That wasn´t his fault! It was damn Hashirama´s! "Or you, nii-san, you can´t keep a boy or girl for more than two weeks"

"Okay, you are talking nonsenses now, let´s go put in your bed" the older brunette practically carried his brother in his arms to bed, who was screaming and cursing at his family´s shitty luck on men. Once he was safely asleep on his bedroom, Byakuya shook his head. Madara kissed his baby too and left the room. "He is incorrigible"

"Maybe" answered the parent sighing. "I think he met again with the man that took advantage of him"

"Yes, he did" two Sharingan eyes shinned in the dark. "We are going to kill him together, no?"

"Absolutely"

-In Konoha-

"This was a very good healing" commented Hashirama, who was with the medics. The First Shinobi World War has already begun and the good medics were not easy to find in any army. At first the Shodaime wanted to help in the front lines, but with the danger of changing the past his brother confined him to the healing team. "What do you think, Tobi?"

"Yes, it´s good" said the Niidaime with cryptic eyes. Even him that didn´t know a thing about healing arts have to admit that it was more than good. "Who did it?"

"A foreign ninja named Izu I meet once on a mission"

"Wait, Izu? The medic nin we…" Homura stop his tongue before he could say in front of his sensei the stupid and dangerous bet they made once. "I mean the one that has no home village and was good but nearly one knows? That Izu?"

"Yes, that one" answered Kagami, rolling his eyes.

"He has no village?" asked Tobirama incredulous.

"Yes, he hasn´t"

"Maybe that´s a good opportunity" the albino said. "Good medics are scarce and aniya couldn´t take care of all the injured ninja that arrives at the camp, no matter the amount of stamina he has" he looked at the brunette who was really exhausted. "I could offer him to join Konoha in return for his services"

"I don´t think that´s a good idea" commented Hashirama. He knew exactly who that ninja was, but he couldn´t just tell that to his brother. If Izuna took it like an offence… well, he has to tell that when he got mad his temper was pretty much like Madara´s… in the destructive way.

"Nonsenses, I bet he will jump to the opportunity…"

-A few days later-

"So, you are offering me to become a Konoha shinobi in exchange of threating your injured men during the war?" said the little medic, crossing his arms. Surprisingly, he had been talked to by the last person he wanted to see in that moment along with some unwelcome visitors. The Hokage himself was there too, another unwanted shinobi to talk to.

"Basically yes"

"Hum…" he made a show of thinking about it. Yes, it would be great to achieve something his brothers couldn´t for once in his life and to somehow recover part of the rights his mother had as founder of the village… but it seem so wrong! He knew what that place and it´s people did to his beloved family and now they wanted him to heal them? They have to be kidding him, there was no way he could become one of them.

"Come on, it´s the best opportunity you are going to have in your life" Tobirama continued. "You will have a stable payment, a home in the village, won´t have to wander… even if you have a family we will receive them…"

"There is the problem, you won´t" he cut the Senju. "Look, I think we can work on a deal" he offered. "I will heal your men, but you will have to pay me for every person I heal my usual quota…"

"Come on! It´s too expensive!"

"Too bad, Kagami, because I have no desire to join your village after everything I have been told about it" this left them thinking, what did this boy knew? And who did he associate to? "So, what´s your answer? Can you win whitout me?" he started to walk away. "Good day"

"Wait" Tobirama sucked in his pride and stopped the medic. "I… we will pay, just… just do it"

"Okay, now we have a deal" Izuna smiled. It was true a good opportunity… to milk out Konoha. After he did so maybe his mother will forgive him for making them a favor and congratulate him for being so clever… if he ever find out. Maybe he could just keep that as a secret.

-In another place, a few days later-

"The boss wants to see you" a big man got in Byakuya´s way. This gorilla was obviously new, as he thought that because he was lithe he was weak. Big mistake. The ninja had him on the floor immediately and twisted his hand.

"And I answer that I will see him whenever I want" he let the idiot go.

"He says it´s about the offer he made to you last time!" the brunette shook his head, already decided not to take that job. "A very important client is interested in hiring you for the war and he wants you to meet him!"

"Go to hell"

"At least go" Kazuma-san walked towards them. Byakuya has been aware of his presence all the time, just wanted to remind him who was the real boss. "I promised him an interview with you and if I don´t get it…"

"You should know better than to make stupid promises… but I´m curious about this. Show me the way" the went to Kazuma´s lair and there was… no, it couldn´t be. But it was. "Who could have told? The Raikage making dirty bushiness, what would the other villages say"

"Better things than they say about you, Uchiha Byakuya" answered A, looking at him. He knew the face of the man he was about to hire and, as he didn´t want to be cheated on, learned a things more. But just one look and he was convinced. This youngster was the son of Uchiha Madara, capable of doing what he asked of him. "I bet Kazuma-san already told you what I want"

"Yes, but I already decided not to go against Konoha" he informed. "If you have other request I can think about it"

"So you are going to let the Shodaime and Niidaime off the hook just like that? What an embarrassing thing, I thought you would do better to avenge your father…"

"On the contrary, I´m not doing it for him. I still have two younger brothers to take care at home"

"Well" the Raikage replanted his strategy. "If you are not going to fight in the war at least get rid of this ninja for me" he threw a drawing from the target. "He is a medic now famous for working miracles and is on Konoha´s side"

"Working miracles, yes right…" only one look at the paper made his eyes grew wide. "Just what the hell does he thinks he is doing?!" he got up in a disrespectful way and started walking towards the exit, making low swears between his teeth. Someone has a lot to explain, and not just to him, but to their mother.

-In the camp-

"There. Next!" yelled Izu. Suddenly there was alarm in all the camp and strong ninja like the current Hokage were called there. Then he felt a fiery but known chakra approaching and sighed. He should have known that his secret won´t stay a secret for long. Hashirama sensed it too. He was surprised to find out this son of him was alive too. Well, maybe it was for the better. Now he could make up with both… the rage from the chakra told him otherwise. He felt like crying, first Izu doesn´t want to know anything about him and now Byakuya was more enraged than Madara on the Valley of End. Thank you, destiny.

"Byakuya" snarled Tobirama when he recognized the ninja. The Uchiha entered to the place enveloped in a purple Susanoo and his star Mangekyo spinning. As he got closer to the campsite his technique started to banish until his feet were on the ground. The medics got out of their tents in panic while the protectors that arrived surrounded the menace. He walked straight towards the little brunette.

"Go home. NOW" were his only words as he grabbed the boy and started dragging him towards the exit. Some of the shinobi got in his way, but a glare make them cower. "Get away, NOW"

"Why so bad humored, nii-san? I thought you promised to control your temper" said Izu without caring if anyone was hearing him call Byakuya his brother. After all he was not ashamed of his family.

"I´m controlling my temper, believe me" the older Uchiha had a throwing vein in his forehead, it was obvious he was trying to contain himself. "But I can´t believe you of all people are helping this… this…" he bit back his tongue before he could cause a fight. "Just come back home with me and let´s forget about this"

"Sorry, but I have a deal with them…"

"Screw that! Don´t you remember we have to flee Konoha before you were born to protect you from hat we suffered while we were there?!"

"I was never in the place to begin with and…"

"Uchiha Izuna! Stop this nonsense and let´s go!" he ordered loud.

"Uchiha Izuna?" asked Tobirama. He couldn´t believe he had just trusted his men´s health into the hands of the son of the man that tried to destroy them. Then it struck him? Just how many children did that bastard had? Was he creating a new clan or just had three?

"Don´t call me by my full name, I hate it"

"You deserve it!" Byakuya sighed after it. "I just don´t understand you. First you are okay, tending to your baby" Izu went pale and Kagami felt as if a ton of bricks felt on him. Did… Izu had a baby? When? Was that baby… his? Questions started to fill his head. "Then you came back home, got drunk and started to shout in that Soratian way of thinking that we all should swore out of love and stay bachelors forever…"

"You don´t have to say it in that way"

"Well you were… and don´t try to distract me, we are going home"

"Wait!" Kagami stopped the brothers for a moment, finally able to speak. "Izu, I know you have to hate me now, but I need to know. It´s that baby mine?"

"You are the idiot that laid my little brother?!" the Susanoo activated again. "I´m going to KILL YOU!"

"Nii-san" Izu stopped his brother by grabbing his arm. "I would like to fix my own problem by myself, thank you. And I´m not helping Konoha for free, consider it just a way to recover the family fortune from the ones that stole it"

"I don´t care! I will kill him!" Byakuya fought with his little brother, acting like a complete hothead again. Unfortunately for him, all this gained him was two temporarily lifeless arms and a run home, screaming. "JUST WAIT UNTIL I TELL MOTHER!"

"How old are you, seven?" asked Tobirama in disbelieve. He turned to the medic, who was shaking his head. That hot tempered sibling of his would never learn how to behave. "I think we have some things to talk about, Izuna"

"Just Izu, I don´t like my name"

"I can tell"

"Are you going to ask me to leave?" he asked, surprisingly serious. "Well, I can do it immediately after you pay me for my services, but you know that your ninja wouldn´t last much in the battlefield with all the competent medics" he made emphasis in the word competent. "you have there"

"I wouldn´t ask you to leave" the albino admitted between teeth. "But you have to realize that you are suspicious… even if in this case all you seem to care about is money"

"What can I say? Raising a child can be expensive and thanks to you we are not exactly rich"

"Why didn´t you tell me?" asked Kagami. "I could have…"

"I don´t want your pity or money, I will fight for my daughter all by myself, just like my mother did" he clarified, glaring at the man with his Sharingan. "But you should be careful, my mother won´t be as forgiving as I am"

"I would be more scared if it was your father" commented Homura, adjusting his glasses.

"My father… I never knew him" the little brunette look behind to where the Shodaime stood. It was true, but just because he didn´t want to get close to the man. After all, releasing his hate could be dangerous for all the people around him.

"And you were lucky, he was a madman" said Torifu. "What a scary person that Uchiha Madara was…"

"Excuse me, but you are confused. I know Uchiha Madara, I live with him" this left everyone in silence. This just proofs that Madara was still alive. "And he is not my father, he is my mother"

"What?" Tobirama asked. Everybody else stayed silent.

"Yes, he is my mom, just like I am Otohime´s" the silence continued. "Come on, you surely knew about the male ninjas that conceived, it´s a very known story…"

"Hum…" they were all looking at a complete still Kagami with identical eyes. And he understood that gaze. They were all pitying him and telling him the same: Dude, you are dead.
