Chapter 3

Itachi Uchiha and Hana Inuzuka part 2

"Well once upon a time long, long time" at their doubtful looks he laughed and said" Alright not so long ago during the time of the First Shinobi War. Before the Villages were created a war was going on between every Clan in the World two children were born two children that would change the history of the world."

"So, you and who else?" asked Hana with a mischievous look in her eyes

The blue-eyed younger man just chuckled" No they were Hashirama Senju who was born during the Warring States Period, as the eldest of Butsuma Senju's four sons. Hashirama and his brothers grew up on the battlefield waging a constant war with Senju's rivals: the Uchiha. And the other was Madara who too was born during the Warring States Period, and was the eldest of Tajima Uchiha's five sons. Madara and his brothers grew up on the battlefield waging a constant war with Uchiha's rivals: the Senju."

"Should had seen that last part coming," said Itachi his complete attention in the older man

"I guess that's fair, anyway during his infrequent downtime, Hashirama met a boy his own age named Madara. The two quickly developed a friendly rivalry, be it skipping stones or urinating in rivers, with Hashirama typically winning their contests. As a precaution, Madara and Hashirama did not divulge their family names, but nevertheless discovered each other's identities: Madara was an Uchiha, Hashirama was a Senju; it was their duty to kill each other, even if they were friends. Hashirama did not approve of the practice of sending children to fight and die, believing it would only increase the bitterness between the Senju and Uchiha, thus causing more deaths."

"You know Uncle Minato from what I have heard about the First Hokage the two of you have a lot in common."

"Really I didn't notice." he continued the story faster to move from what was said," Well, let's continue with the story Skipping stones it wasn't only the activity they did for fun but it was the way the met too."

"How do you know that story?" asked Hashirama he hadn't told anyone how the two of them met no one should know it.

"My mother told me that story when I was younger," he said but he didn't elaborate

"Nice way of meeting people," said Itachi he wanted to know if the man that was his ancestor through he knew he was going to have that man, after all, he was taught by his father to be loyal to the village and his friends.

"Yeah, I think so too. Much better than the way I and your parents became friends."

"How did that happen no one ever told us?" asked Hana

"That my Wolf Princess is a story for another time." both of them pouted at the answer" Well, which story do you want to hear?" when they stayed quiet, he said, "I thought so."

"So how did all of you meet anyway?" asked Itachi he was always curious about how did people so different from each other became friends through he did know that the simple the answer was the blond-haired Hokage

He did not get his answer because the former Hyūga answered" If my future is the one, I think it will be then that question will be answered." the Uchiha heir crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at the woman.

"They became friends mostly because the two of them had many of them were the oldest sons of their father, the future Heads of their respective Clans and both of them loved their younger brothers more and Madara, Hashirama was also a shinobi who had lost his brothers on the battlefield that was another similarity Hashirama had lost two Itama and Kawarama while Madara had lost three, while Hashirama was close to all his brothers and all their deaths affected him the same Madara was closer to only one of his brothers who for many years was still alive. Together they imagined a world where children like themselves wouldn't need to fight."

"I understand how he felt," said Fugaku saddens clear in his eyes

Hashirama looked at his former best friend's descendants and said: "You have been mentioning a brother way too much what happened to him?"

"He died during the Kyuubi attack twelve years ago."

"But I don't remember an Uncle being mention," said Sasuke

"Of course, you don't," said Itachi through it wasn't meant to be Sasuke took it as an offense so Itachi continued" He wasn't dad's biological brother they were really, really good friends he is actually the reason dad did not end up the same as most members of our Clan."

"Who is he?" asked Shikamaru

"Naruto's father why he is the only one who can become friends with Sasuke so easily." answered his father" That the same reason why you and Naruto easily became friends too."

"Is that the reason why you were one of the only parents not to tell me to stay away from Naruto?"

"Yes, that's why the other Clan Heads did the same thing too."

"Together they imagined a world where children like themselves wouldn't need to fight. Hashirama would talk to his brothers Tobirama and Itama (before he died) about the ongoing war with the Uchiha clan and the utilization of children to fight its adversary at the time many children died not only his brother babies even there weren't rules at the soon for anyone liking Another fight erupts with the Senju against the Uchiha and Itama has been killed by an Uchiha shinobi. Hashirama arrived too late to save his brother just to see him in my opinion he blamed himself for not being fast enough to save him I also think that the reason Tobirama even invented Hiraishin because of that event. "

"Was that the reason?" asked Minato seriously curious about the answer

"It's a part of the reason." through he did wonder why a man who wasn't even born at the time know the name of a technique he rarely used and not one of his most well-known.

"After that happened they met each other again and Madara noticed a depressed Hashirama and Madara had the same feeling as well until that time he had not revealed to his friend that he also had brothers who are fallen to the ongoing their depression, they continue their training and their friendship blooms as well even more because of their similarities they were discovered in each other. After their training, Tobirama arrived at Hashirama telling him that their father had something very important to tell him." he stopped to take a breath this is the story of the beginning of the Village he loved and the entire reason his mother didn't like one of his best friends at the very beginning. At the Senju clan compound, Hashirama's father, Butsuma tells them that he had asked Tobirama to tail Hashirama and the boy, Madara, being acquainted with Hashirama and tells him that the boy hails from the Uchiha clan noting that Madara killed adult ninjas from their clan. Butsuma warns Hashirama that this could lead to treason and in order from being punished, Butsuma asks Hashirama to follow Madara after their training and if Madara becomes suspicious, Butsuma recommends Hashirama to kill Madara."

When he said that Minato turned to the man and said" That wasn't nice you know?" with a look in his eyes that reminded the older man of his oldest son way too much.

"But he didn't do that right after all Madara lived into adulthood?" asked Hana

"No, Hashirama was a loyal and good friend so he set this duty aside, unwilling to take his friend's life didn't even go against him until he threatens the Village they had built beside at the time Madara hadn't done anything that could have been considered a real threat everything was what everyone would do during a war what I have done during a war."

"So, what happened?" asked Itachi curiously

"After the deaths of their brothers, Kawarama and later Itama, Hashirama and his remaining brother, Tobirama, decided a new shinobi system would need to be implemented to end the cycle of child deaths, a system that would require an alliance between the Senju and Uchiha. Madara, however, decided their dreams of a peaceful world were impossible, and therefore ended their friendship so that they could kill each other without like Hashirama, Madara was also a shinobi who had lost brothers on the battlefield as I said before. So even if he didn't believe in them to be able to achieve it, they still imagined a world where children like themselves wouldn't need to fight and where their brothers would be safe from harm. Over the following years, Hashirama and Madara continued to meet in combat. Hashirama could never bring himself to kill someone he still considered a friend, and Madara could never defeat Hashirama's superior abilities. In time, both Madara and Hashirama became leaders of their respective Clans. With Hashirama's leadership and extraordinary prowess, the Senju began to best the Uchiha Clan until at one-point Hashirama had both Madara and Izuna at his mercy. However, unable to find the resolve to kill his childhood friend, Hashirama tried to convince Madara to unite their two clans to make their childhood dreams a reality. A mortally wounded Izuna convinced Madara otherwise and they retreated, prompting Hashirama to send a cease-fire request. Although some Uchiha found the offer increasingly tempting, Madara was unwilling to accept after Tobirama killed his last remaining brother, Izuna. Wracked with grief, Madara made one final stand against Hashirama and the Senju and was summarily defeated. Tobirama attempted to kill Madara to finally end the fighting, but Hashirama stopped him, knowing that would only renew hostilities between the Senju and Uchiha. At Madara's suggestion, Hashirama offered to kill himself in order to achieve a peaceful resolution. As he was about to end his own life, Madara stopped him, moved by the gesture, and assented to peace."

"Well that doesn't make him a good friend," said Hana crossing her arms she couldn't imagine if he had died at the time her favorite Uncle wouldn't even be born

"The Senju, the Uchiha, and all their affiliated clans came together to found a village of peace, where children would never need to die in battle. Hashirama and Madara, rekindling their childhood friendship called that village that happened when Madara revealed that the injury inflicted on Izuna was fatal..." he stopped for a second" Have you heard of the Mangekyō Sharingan Itachi?"

"I read the name once in a book when I asked dad about it, he said they are cursed eyes and to never ask him or anyone else about them ever again and to never want those eyes. I do wonder why though?"

The blue-eyed beauty chuckled and said, "Your dad thinks every Sharingan eye is cursed but yeah he hates the Mangekyō Sharingan the most I think Fugaku is the only Uchiha in history to hate those and he is called Wicked Eye Fugaku because of those very eyes. I never thought he needed them through he was an extremely talented Shinobi even without them."

"Now it isn't true Uncle Minato I hate those eyes too," said Itachi

"I thought so." he answered the young Hokage" Let me guess you hate the Mangekyō Sharingan the most." the Akatsuki member just nodded while Kisame looked at his younger friend he was learning more and more things about the isolated Uchiha.

"How does someone get the Mangekyō Sharingan Uncle Minato?" asked Hana

" The manners in which individual gains the Mangekyō Sharingan are almost parallel to how an Uchiha awakens their regular Sharingan for the first time, both need intense emotions to awaken them. While the Sharingan simply requires an intense emotion of any kind to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan requires a person to be traumatized by the death of a loved could be a parent, friend, sibling, lover or child it doesn't matter who it is as long as you love the person enough to feel extremely hard pain by their death making that the reason so few Uchiha are able to achieve if they don't allow themselves to feel anything especially love."

In the present the two oldest members of the Uchiha Clan had their Mangekyō Sharingan activated remembering how they won was remembering that morning twelve years ago when his wife told him that his younger brother had sacrificed his life for the village he loved and that he wasn't able to save him.

Itachi was remembering that night seven years ago when he had to kill his parents and those innocent children but it was something that had to be done.

Hashirama asked the question he had been thinking for a while now since he had seen those eyes in two of the most feared Uchiha Shinobi in history both of them compared in power to the blond-haired Hokage" How did the two of you get those eyes?" they were the eyes that destroyed his old friend

"I got mine twelve years ago when my younger brother died through, I had my Sharingan since the Third Shinobi War when my other brother was almost killed."

"I got mine the night the Clan was destroyed." he didn't elaborate as to when he had gotten his Sharingan eyes and no one asked

"Let's continue with the story all right." the two nodded" At the last moments of his life, the dying Izuna had given Madara his eyes so his brother could obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. A more advanced version of the Mangekyō Sharingan which are only obtained if someone gets his Mangekyō Sharingan from someone else. He did that so that he could protect their clan from its growing number of enemies and the last one wasn't true Hashirama wouldn't allow it. Because of the blindness caused by overuse of a Mangekyō Sharingan, many people came to believe that Madara took Izuna's eyes by force to regain his again isn't true those eyes are stronger if given willingly and Madara would do many terrible things in the future but he loved his brothers a lot and wouldn't ever hurt them."

"I guess you are right he may become a terrible friend but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good brother."

"The other countries would soon follow Konohagakure's example and build their own hidden villages. Although Hashirama created much of the village's infrastructure with his Wood Release abilities, it was his wish that Madara becomes Hokage, the village's leader, and protector."

Itachi chuckled and said, "Dad always said Uchihas are not good at being Hokage but they are great at helping them."

"And I still agree," said Fugaku

"I know dad," answered Itachi

While they were talking Sasuke was looking at the two of them he liked this side of his brother and father that he had never seen before he wanted to know what had happened to do that.

"But at Tobirama's insistence, the Hokage position was opened up to a vote by Konoha's villagers and it was Hashirama that they elected into actually the only Hokage who was elected by the Villagers."

"I don't think they are complaining about the other choices." started Itachi

"Yeah especially about you." finished Hana

The villagers nodded their heads they liked their Hokage especially the youngest Hokage. Said young man was blushing to the roots of his hair rivaling the color of his beloved wife's hair.

"I think they could find a better Hokage." the two black haired children shook their head

The ones that had been dead or were from other Villages looked shocked while the ones who knew him shook their heads, they should have known he would say that he always thought they could find someone better them him for their village which no one of them thought to be true.

"Hashirama wanted Madara to become his adviser so that he could improve his standing among the villagers and someday succeed him as Second Hokage."

"Wait isn't dad is your Adviser?" asked Itachi

"No, your Dad is my right-hand man Shikaku is my adviser because he is smarter."

Shikaku smirked at the Uchiha and said Uchiha crossed his arms and glared at the Nara Clan Head while Minato chuckled quietly, they always did that.

"Just don't tell you, father, I said that. "both of them nodded their heads

" Madara felt that position would inevitably go to Tobirama, which would in turn end badly for the Uchiha. With his position in Konoha rapidly diminishing, Madara decided the village was a failed experiment and abandoned it, intent on someday returning to face Hashirama in battle yet again."

"Of course, he did," said Itachi sighing

"True to his promise, Madara eventually attacked Konoha on multiple occasions. After countless fights and with the Nine-Tails under his control, Madara challenged Hashirama to one final contest. The Nine-Tails' power, as well as Hashirama's efforts to capture and contain it, devastated the landscape, carving out what would later be called the Valley of the End. Hashirama spent the duration of their battle trying to reason with Madara, but Madara continued fighting until he was too tired to keep even his Sharingan active. This enabled Hashirama to distract him with a wood clone while the real Hashirama stabbed him in the back. Madara collapsed and, before dying, noted how much Hashirama had changed from when they were children. In the aftermath of the battle, Tobirama hid away Madara's body and Hashirama's wife, Mito Uzumaki the best sealer in history…"

"You mean at the time. "said Hana looking at the blond-haired man pointily

Minato pretended she hadn't spoken" …sealed the Nine-Tails within herself in order to contain its great power to Konoha's benefit. For a time, things were peaceful: Hashirama helped train one of Tobirama's students, Hizuren Sarutobi who later became the Third Hokage, he got to spoil his first grandchild, Tsunade the best Kunoichi in history…

Present-day Tsunade was blushing as the blond-haired Hokage looked at her smiling.

"…he locked away the Scroll of Seals, the kinjutsu it contained no longer necessary in the world he'd made. But the peace Hashirama had worked so hard for was starting to unravel"

"Of course, it is it takes more work than that to bring peace. "said Itachi

"At some point, Takigaku resent Kakuzuto assassinates him. Although he defeated Kakuzu, other wars began to break out, and it was during the First Shinobi World War that Hashirama, eager to form a lasting peace with the other villages, convened a Kage Summit that he could share the tailed beasts Konoha had acquired with them, thus balancing power amongst them. But cooperation would not be so simple as Hashirama intended it to be, first by Tobirama's demand that the other villages pay for the tailed beasts they received, then by the First Kazekage's counter-request of money and territory in lieu of a tailed beast. As unrest began to grow, Hashirama shared his fear that any agreement they made would only be temporary, but also that future generation could forge a lasting unity. Ultimately, Hashirama's wish for peace would not come to fruition during his lifetime and he died while Konohagakure began to flourish. Before his death, he passed the title of Hokage to Tobirama and instructed him not to mistreat the Uchiha. That didn't happen but I don't blame him I don't trust most of the Uchiha Clan members too."
