Should I try my hand at a warring states period fic? Perhaps?

"AHHHHHHH"
The platoon of Uchiha stopped, looking around in confusion. They were making their way back home with Madara and his brother returning from another successful skirmish when they heard a loud scream- quite girlish. This, of course, caused many of them to stop and look for the source of the noise, and by the time Izuna pointed out it was coming from above, it was too late. A body slammed into the boy, knocking him down with an 'oof'. The Uchiha tensed, and Madara all but growled and went to yank the person of his brother. He froze when he looked down where their faces met, lips firmly pressed on top of the other. The stranger and Izuna's eyes both widened before the person who fell from the sky jumped off Izuna as if he burned him and started gagging. Izuna sputtered, his face a bright shade of scarlet.
"What the fuck." the stranger- the boy said in a flat voice, cringing at the younger Uchiha brother. "You stole the words right out of my mouth." Izuna replied in an equally dead sounding tone, while the stranger made a choking noise and couldn't help but reply with; "That's not the only thing I stole."
They both made a face at that, Izuna quickly finding his footing and standing up, refusing to look at his brother. "Who.. are you?" This gave the boy pause, and the Uchiha noted the peculiar features of the stranger- and his blank Hyūga-like eyes. 'He doesn't look like a Hyūga.' Izuna thought, glancing at Madara from the corner of his eye. The older brother looked at the stranger with curiosity, hand resting comfortably on the handle of his gunbai, not quite trusting the boy not to attack.
"Hoshiko," he said after a few moments, a contemplating, blank look on his face. "Yeah, that sounds about right."
The two brothers shared a look, it was Madara who spoke next. "What are you doing in Uchiha territory, and why did you fall out of the sky?"
Hoshiko blinked slowly, processing his words before he shrugged, "I don't know."
Madara gave the pale boy a flat stare, asking in a monotone, "You don't know." stating it more as a comment than a question. The boy shrugged again, "I have no idea how I ended up in the sky falling at alarming speeds- maybe a jutsu gone wrong? Anyways, I can't remember anything other than some irreverent stuff. At this point, I'm kinda winging it."
Izuna raised a fine brow, skeptical, "You don't remember your name? You made it up on the spot?" Hoshiko just made a face and shrugged, "I don't have a mirror, and it's a full moon tonight-" he pointed at the shining rock in the dark sky, "-so I went with that. Maybe the moon was responsible."
Categorizing the boy in the possibly insane category, Izuna turned to his brother, "What are we going to do with him?"
Now, Madara is the clan head, responsible for the safety of the Uchiha after his father died, so the obvious choice is to eliminate the potential threat. However, Madara is also different from the usual Uchiha and wondered about the ways the strange moon boy could benefit the clan if he recovered from his amnesia- what valuable information he might possess. Besides the point, this 'Hoshiko' seemed relatively harmless. Madara is far from a fool, but he figured even if the boy proved to be more trouble than he's worth than he can easily dispose of him.

Ngl, those quotes got me weeping.
