It was mostly still dark outside, but there was a soft glow of light that was just starting to come out, in the distance as the sun began to rise.
Madara was soundly asleep, planning to oversleep today, but Sasuke had other plans, he barreled into his room half an hour later startling the Uchiha leader right out of his comfortable sleep.
"What the _"
Before madara could finish his sentence Sasuke opens the windows, the sun had now rise and the bright light had instantly poured in making madara growl in angrly, Sasuke whirled around smirking.
"the sun is up, what are you still doing in bad wake up"
Madara buried his face in the pillow murmuring a curse
"Kid, you better walk out of this room before I kill you"
"You'r gonna be late for work, do you know what time is it?"
"Time to make Hashirama and mito adopt you forever"
The Uchiha grumbled into his pillow.
Sasuke grinned "It's actually 7 papa, You'r gonna be late if you don't move out of bed"
"I'm not working today brat"
"Oh, than we'll spend the day together, come get up, I need to eat, I'll offer to cook, but I'm just 7 "

When ichizu walked into her clan leader house, 10 minutes late for her job, she didn't expect to see Sasuke in the kitchen already. Ichizu fixed her gaze on the kid who was eating, eating???
She looked ahead, only to see Madara flipping a pankace like a professional.
She gasped, the air running out of her lungs, was she in trouble for being late 10 minutes? But he's cooking! Madara Sama is cooking.
"Good morning ichizu" the Uchiha leader voice started her.
"Sir, I'm... I'm sorry for being late I... Let do this for you"
She took steps toward him in hesitation, maybe he's too angry and hiding it.
"Nah, we'r finished here, take a seat ichizu and try my pancakes" he added the last part with sarcasm.
Ichizu stood there like a statut, not able to say anything.
"Papa, can I have another one" Sasuke asked mentioning to his empty plate.
Madara glared at the kid
"Please" added the boy.
Madara grunted in reply, then put his mug down and started preparing a new one.
"Are you okay ichizu, you look as if you saw a ghost"
He asked her.
The girl took a long breath before answering "You'r cooking!"
"So? Is something wrong?"
"it's unexpected sir"
Her closer inspection made realise that he was tired, so very tired, it's like he spent a sleepless night.
"I'm a man of many talents"
He murmured.
"You could have waited for me sir, I'm sure _"
"The brat was hungry" he cut her off.
"Yes, papa and I are going to train together today, we need to start early"
Madara sighed "Ichizu. Do you know someone crazy enough to accept adopting the brat??"
The girl chuckled .

The first time his son showed any interest in his life was when he asked him about Izuna.
That day he was tired, feeling down, and wanted to stay alone, of course Sasuke choose that particular Day to drag him out of house for training, take him to the bazaar with his idiot blond friend, and then staying late at night talking nonsense to him, what was wrong with the kid?
" papa, you stand out too much with your hair and all. Ever think about cutting it"
Madara huffed, if this boy wasn't his son he'd b dead by now.
"Don't ask stupid questions Sasuke ."
"Why is it stupid?" Sasuke pushed. Madara didn't answer, which made the kid frown. " how do you take care of it anyway ..."
He muttered under his breath.
Madara narrowed his eyes at the child for a short moment, but couldn't seem to hide the growing smirk, not quite sure if it was out of annoyance, interest, or both. He swore he would never understand how Sasuke could ridicule him so easily, The two ate in silence until Sasuke spoke again.
" So how was he?. "
The older Uchiha was confused.
" who?. "
" you brother, what was his name again?"
" Izuna" replied the older Uchiha still confused.
" hin" " I know it's his death anniversary, and You'r sad because of it"
Madara's eye twitched in anger, he hated pity, even if it was his own son " is that why You'v been hovering around me the whole day."
He spatt.
Sasuke's face fell.
" No... I... I was just wondering if.. "
"Who told you?"
" Hashirama" Sasuke decided to avoid mentioning Tobirama.
Madara sighed " That fool, you shouldn't listen to anything he say, I'm not sad nor anything."
" He didn't say anything about you being sad, I can see it in your eyes"
This time madara was taken by surprise, he wanted to yell at the child, but the way Sasuke looked at him with concerned eyes stopped him, instead he told him to go to his room.
"But _"
"Don't try me kid, go to your room immediately"
" Why don't you tell me about izuna, then I'll go"
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111
He didn't know how he agreed to this, he seems to agree to most of the things Sasuke asks for, but this?
This was ridiculous, he had never talked about izuna to anyone before, surprisingly it made him feel better,
He didn't feel the time while talking about his brother , and Sasuke listened with interest.
Sasuke looked at the man who was supposed to be a monster, there was nothing evil about him, in fact Madara reminded him of Itachi in so many ways.
Maybe Madara was just like Itachi , both heros konoha decided to abandon.
Wasn't this man one of village founders? , wasn't he the reason this village exist?
And yet they hated him, treated him like a trush and forgot everything he did for them.
" As children We used to play in the snow, chase each other" Madara muttered.
A fuzzy memories of running through the snow chasing after his brothers and being chased in turn started to surface, and he allowed himself to reply those small happy moments in his mind, when he and his brothers were just happy children, and then time passed and less footprints marred the snow.
"And that's it, the story is over kiddo, time to go to bed" announced madara as soon as he looked at his tired son.
It was obvious that exhaustion was finally getting to the child who was struggling to keep his eyes open.
" I'll sleep with you to tonight" declared the sleepy kid.
"What!, God, Sasuke You'r" Madara trailed off with a sighed "Fine"
"But if you steal the blanket, You'r out" he added to the smirking kid.
"Deal"
Madara smiled for the first time in a week, maybe his life wasn't that bad after all, maybe the gods didn't hate him "Thank you for today kiddo"
He murmured.

The next day at the hokage office.
"My, my, long time no see, Mads," a spirited voice sounded.
"Tsk," Madara sighed, coming to a stop as Hashirama approached him . "Are you always in this mood?"
"Mood? What mood? If anyone's ever in a mood, it's you, Madara," Hashirama shot back, smiling.
" That's what I'm talking about, the happy go lucky mood"
Hashirama entered his depression mood immediately.
" aghh " Madara growled "" Not the desperate one "
" Forget it . I heard that you and your scum of a brother were fooling around, creating a council or something "
He added.
Hashirama went back to his normal happy mood.
" That's called working Mads, we were working, and it was just an idea we didn't do anything yet, Tobirama decided to wait and hear your opinion about it. "
Madara narrowed his eyes " Your brother wants to hear my opinion about something?"
He asked in disbelief.
" he said that the last thing he wanted is one of your dramatic episodes."
Madara rolled his eyes as he walked passed his grinning friend.
"Where is your albino of a brother any way, I sent Hyouri to get me the security file from him, and she's not back yet. ?"
" He's not in his office, so he's probably in mine"
30 minutes ago in the hokage tower.
When Hyouri arrived at Tobirama's office
the Senju was lost in all the papers and files in front of him.
" God ! how do you understand anything in this mess. "
she commented.
tobirama raised his head to look at her " Uchiha, what do you want ?"
" Well hello to you too my lord. Madara Sama sent me to get the security file. "
Tobirama tried to avoid looking at the girl, why the hell has she to be the one madara choose to send?
He had never liked a woman this much before, But hyouri was different, she was probably the most beautiful girl he had even seen, and this was no good.
He sighed before standing.
"come I'll bring the security file from Hashirama's office. "
The girl followed him silently to hashirama's office , which happened to be empty.
"where the hell did he go.?"
snapped Tobirama
"unlike you , some people needs to eat, it's already midday. "
The Uchiha girl commented sarcastically .
Tobirama glared at her.
" now that you mentioned it, it's probably time to eat, wanna join me?"
( what the hell tobirama, why would you invite her?, she'll turn you down, damn she was mocking you and you let it go. )
Tobirama's invitation surprised Hyouri.
" Ah, I... I..."
" It's okay if you already have plans"
" No... I mean no I don't have any plans, thank you for the invitation"
Tobirama looked away from the girl
" so Where do you wanna eat?" he asked
Hiyori hesitated for a minute before answering.
"the ramen new shop " she buttered out.
Tobirama grabbed the files out of his brother desk .
" the ramen shop ! what a bad taste you have "
The Uchiha girl face turned à shade of pink.
" and what's wrong with ramen ?" This time she snapped.
" nothing , I just thought that you would choose somewhere else, more classy. Guess you're not classy , you can't be you'r an Uchiha.
he meant to tease her , and she was fuming.
Tobirama smirked, oh how much he loved her angry face. Hyouri wanted to throw something on this man , but she couldn't possibly ruine the hokage's office , in her rush of anger she took off her shoe and threw it at him
Tobirama was took off guard.
" you ... did you just hit me with a shoe ?"
he was shocked , who on earth throw others with a shoe , she must be crazy.
Hyouri momentary irritation was wiped away in a moment and she was laughing at tobirama's stunned expression.
"you...you should have seen your face. "
she was laughing like a crazy.
" you're asking for it Uchiha. "
she was still laughing as she watched him take her shoe and walk to the window
" hey what are you doing ?"
he was literally going to throw her shoe out of the window.
" oh no , you're not doing that "she basically screamed.
" watch me " he said with a smirk
without thinking she jumped on his back
" give it back "
" since you love to throw it , i'll do it for you miss "
she tightened her leges around his waist.
" freaking give it to me "
"let go " tobirama was regaining his balance , and still holding the shoe with his right arm away from her.
" you can't just hit me with a shoe and expected to get away with it Uchiha "
" just give me back my shoe you jerk "
" apologize now ,or else you'll find yourself out of the window with your shoe" he demanded.
" give it back ... shit im falling "
he grabbed her leges and was about to throw her when she used chakara to pull him down.
the action effectively sent tobirama falling with his back to the floor with hyouri under him.
" get off I can't breath " she protested.
he rolled of , but didn't let go of her. On the opposite he pinned her body to the floor with his own.
" that was a stupid move witch "
she was about to respond when someone opened the door
Hashirama and madara stood there speechless , from everything Hashirama imagined , he had never imagined to see his brother on top of an Uchiha girl , in his office
" emm...I ...im ssorry but I ...I think you should do it somewhere else , home for example "
Tobirama stood , his face all red " it's not what you think I.."
" I don't wanna know " replied hashirama
