"Nii-san. What are the hand seals for the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu?"
Madara looks up sharply. "You're going to try to bring yourself back to life?"
"You did it," Izuna says. Madara shakes his head.
"I had the Rinnegan. It is nigh impossible to do without it."
"Well I can't ask you to bring me back, you might die." Izuna frowns. "If that stupid Senju could do it, why can't I? I was the first to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, Elder Brother. Of the two of us, my eyes are stronger."
"You really think you can do it?" Madara says. Izuna nods.
"I'm Undead and I have unlimited chakra. And if I play my cards right, I can use that stupid Senju's cells to augment the jutsu."
"Very well," Madara says, and he shows Izuna the hand signs. Izuna's Sharingan turns.

Izuna weaves the signs just as Madara showed him. He claps his hands.
"Rinne Tensei no Jutsu!"
A surge of chakra rushes over him like a crashing wave; there's a bright flash of light, his undead skin cracking and peeling to reveal soft, living flesh. Izuna laughs, feeling the beating of his heart and the blood rushing through his body.
"Yes!" Izuna says. His heart beats faster. "I can feel it, Elder Brother! YES!"
And then his Sharingan starts to crumble.

"What the fuck, Nii-san?! I'm BLIND?!"
In the bedroom next door, Hashi looks up from her book, then silently puts on her headphones.
