"I don´t know if this is such a good idea" said Hamura to his brother. The moon ruler has just been asked to house his nephews for a few days, like in a vacation, while Hagoromo finishes cleaning the house, as he called it. The white haired twin knew that that meant that his aniya was going to peep on everybody´s mind and kill the abusers of his son. "Indra needs you, can´t you find a better moment for this?"

"I need to make this place secure for him" answered the man. "And it´s not like I´m sending the boys there alone, I will send Futami with them" his oldest disciple had his absolute trust. He already saw in his mind and declared to himself that he didn´t have anything to do with the attacks. "He will be in charge of keeping an eye on them."

"I´m not talking about that, I´m talking about support and…" the Rinnegan eyed man glared at him. "What´s the matter, aniya?"

"Hamura, I need to kill someone before he can hurt them more"

"Who?"

"Our younger brother, Zetsu. He was planning to use Indra to resurrect our mother and to give her all the chakra"

"It can´t be… Mother didn't have a third child!"

"She did and hid that from us" both twins got serious. "That´s why I´m asking you this. Protect my children while I finish this business here…"

"You are not going to do this all alone, I will help you" said the younger. "Even if you didn´t believe it, I´ve been doing some other than to watch Mother´s body while I´m here. I have my own disciples here and they will help to keep an eye on your kids while we…"

"Hamura…" stopped him Hagoromo. "You have to forgive me, but after what happened I have difficulties believing in others, specially when it concerns my children" he lowered his head. "I trust my first followers just because I saw in their minds that they weren´t evil, but… my mistakes concerning Indra made my trust in humankind weaker"

"You mean that…"

"Yes, I can only trust you, my own flesh and blood, to take care of them. Futami is an extra security measure"

"Aniya… this really affected you" Hamura lowered his gaze, sad. "You are not going to stop teaching the ninshu and helping others, no?"

"I will not, but first I have to show them that bad actions have consequences even for ninshu followers, specially when hurting those who are weaker" he shared a look with his twin. "Until then, just keep them save on the moon, where no one can touch them."

"Aniya… okay, I will" the white haired male disappeared and the Rikkudo Sennin got up from his place on the floor. He walked towards the place his very first followers slept in and opened the door. He needed to talk with all of them.

"Hagoromo-sama! Is there something the matter?" asked Geigen. He was his second follower and worried a lot about the death sentences, something that never happened before. "Is it about what Yami and his friends did? Are you telling us the reason you ordered them dead? We followed your orders as we knew you have a reason, but…"

"I´m going to tell you why" he spent almost an hour telling them. After he finished their looks of horror were proof enough that they agree with him in that they deserved the punishment they get. "The thing is I don´t think every abuser was punished"

"Hagoromo-sama, haven´t Indra-sama told you everything?" asked Tenga. "I mean… I know this is a very delicate theme for him and probably he would like to keep it in himself, but if he wanted to feel safe…"

"He is just recently opening up to me" explained the Sage, then looked at them all. "That´s why I´m going to need your help. This men are dangerous to our children and have them running around unpunished makes them believe they can do anything. They might even want to do the same to other children now that Indra is not available anymore."

"We understand" they all got up as if they were one. "If you show us the guilty ones we will have them by the end of the day and…"

"There is another thing" he warned them. "There has been someone trying to take advantage of Indra´s pain to make him do evil things and he would have succeed haven´t I took notice. He tried to make him hurt you all" they looked surprised. "I know it´s too much, but are you going to help me hunt that beast?"

"Yes, Hagoromo-sama!" they answered without hesitation, already hating the one that will stood so low as to use a hurt child for his sick dreams. They were about to abandon the room for the meditation chamber, when Hagoromo stopped his first follower.

"Futami-san, I have a special important mission for you"

"What is it?" asked the former thief.

"Tomorrow I´m sending my children to visit my brother Hamura on the moon" he explained, surprising them all. "Indra needs a change of place and both him and Asura would be safer there while we hunt here. I want you to go with them and take care of them while they are there"

"Re… really? Are you really trusting me with your children?" the man didn´t have words to tell his teacher how flattered he was for this. He just bowed down flat on the floor. "Thank you, Hagoromo-sama. I will not let anyone get close to Indra-sama and Asura-sama while I´m on watch"

"It will be great" smiled the Ootsutsuki. "Oh, give this to my brother too" he handed him a scroll. "It´s a list of things Hiro-san told me to do, mainly for Indra´s health…"

"Is he sick?"

"No, but this… I don´t know how to call it… situation has taken it´s toll in him. His body is not exactly in the best condition and we need to keep an eye on him"

"I will do so" promised the brunette.

"Great, now the rest of you join me tomorrow morning in the meditation chamber after I finished sending Futami and my children to Hamura"

"Roger…"

-In another time-

Maki was feeling nervous in the dark room of her mother´s house. It was not the darkness, it was that something was watching her from the walls. Quickly, she got out of bed and walked to an open area outside. The woman frowned when she realized how close she was to her brother´s graves. Then she spun around, Sharingan on.

"They had such pitifully short lives" commented Zetsu, approaching her. "They died very young…"

"Don´t talk as if you mourn their loses, because I know you are not" she growled. Since she came to that place she had a bad feeling concerning that black thing. "I wouldn´t be surprised if it was you who causes their deaths"

"How can you say that? I can´t do anything if Madara-sama doesn´t order me first. After all I´m his Will"

"No, you are manipulating him. I saw you whispering in his ear that I should leave, even if my return was what he wanted" she got into fighting stance. "I won´t let you continue this. You will pay for everything"

"You are clever" he put the cocky smile he was known for. "Sorato, your brother, was too and I managed to get him killed by your uncle"

"You have made enough damage to my family, I will finish you now!" she screamed and began fighting. The sound of the destruction woke up the old man, who went outside hiding his chakra to see what was happening. He finally made it outside… just in time to see his daughter being inflicted a fatal injury by his so called Will.

"NO!" he screamed, charging at the goo with rage. Maki tried to cover the injury with her hand while she crawled to her brother´s graves. She needed to do something before she dies, before her soul departed with them… Suddenly a hand grabbed her free one. It was familiar… then she saw a black haired young man standing in front of her. She knew him.

"Sorato? How are you alive?" she asked and removed the hand from her injury, noticing that it was healed. "How…"

"A side effect from my jutsu to avoid dead, but I´m grateful it was… nee-san" he said, passing by her side. "I´ve been wanting to show that damn plant thing what is good since he managed to get me defeated by that mockery of a Hokage Tobirama Senju…"

"He is your uncle, you know?"

"Where is mama? I have to warn him" then he heard the sound of battle and raced to help his mother. The old man wasn´t as agile as he was before and age was definitely taking it´s tool on him. He had to hurry. "Mama!"

"Sora-chan?" asked Madara, breathing deeply, tired after his combat and with a bad gash on his side. His son´s eyes turned purple (his eyes being there was another side effect of his jutsu) and glared at the goo, that decided it was time to leave. The raven haired man was about to pursue it, but was stopped by his older sister.

"Leave it for now, we have to get mother inside and treat his injury" she ordered and he followed, helping her to carry him. Tsunade awoke then and watched with horror how they conduced the injured to his bed.

"What happened?" the blond child asked.

"That damn Zetsu did this" answered her uncle, hate in his eyes. "I swear I´m going to hunt him until there is nothing left of him and…"

"Yes, yes, but now you are helping me to care for our mother" instructed Maki. "Tsuna, go for some hot water to wash out the blood, please. Otouto…" she turned to him, a bit uncomfortable. She wasn´t accustomed to call anyone like that, not since a long ago. "bring me some fresh bandages. You should know where they are."

"I… don´t" he said, a bit flustered. "Izu was the one in charge of that and…"

"Just go search them! You knew Izu, don´t you?!" she screamed at him in a bossy way. The younger Uchiha frowned, but a look at his mother made him bite back the sharp remark he was going to say and walked away to where Izuna´s room used to be. He was startled when he saw a little girl on the bed, barely breathing.

"Otohime…" he whispered before turning on his Sharingan and analyzing her body. There was definitely poison, he deduced. Later he will take care of that. After it he grabbed a box near the bed with bandages. "Here they are"

"Thanks" she started putting them around his injuries. Tsunade was seeing that, helping applying healing chakra to the injury. She was the only medic here and there was a limit to what she could do. And an injury to deep in such an old person…

"Mama…"

"I know, sweetie, just… shhhhhhhhhhhhh" the black haired woman said. "It appears that we are going to stay here for a while longer"

-Two months later-

"I have to change the bandages, bear with the pain a little…" Maki was talking while she worked along with Tsuna. The things were getting worse, the wound became infected and it was slowly killing the former clan head. For his part, Madara knew he was going to die and accepted it. He had a long live and was ready to join his family in the afterlife. His thoughts wandered off to a certain someone… he couldn´t believe his hearth still beat for that bastard after everything he did to him, to Sorato… he wasn´t stupid, his baby was a prodigy, but in a restricted condition he would never be able to defeat the God of Shinobi. The man should really want to die. "Is there something the matter?"

"Did you like the kimono I made you for your fifteen birthday?" he asked.

"So it was you, eh?" she crossed her arms, remembering her happiness when she found it in her bed. "Yes, still my favorite"

"I´m glad" he took a necklace out of his tunic. "This were a gift of Sorato, four rings… my four children" he undid the tie. "This is for you… and there is another thing in there" he pointed and she went to search for it. She lifted it carefully, it was her mother´s scythe. "It´s yours"

"What…"

"What´s happening here?" asked his son, entering the place with some clean supplements.

"Sora, come here" he did so. "There, my battle fan, it´s yours, I know how much you like it and I will be very happy is it stays in the family…"

"Mother, you are acting as if you were in your last" joked the young male, but his smile felt when he noticed the serious and sad expression on his face. "No! It can´t be! Maki nee-san and I will take care of you… we are finally together again! Don´t leave!"

"It´s not my decision, Sora" he sighed. Then he took something from his bedside table. "This was Izuna´s, give it to Tsuna. I know she loves medical art and Otohime won´t appreciate it like she would"

"Mom…"

"Mama…"

"It´s okay, I will ever be with you two and the kids… besides it will be better for you if I´m dead" continued Madara. "You won´t have to live under my name."

"You will heal…"

-A few days later-

Both Maki, Sorato and the children were in front of the new grave hat now accompanied Izuna´s. Otohime was not with them, too sick to leave the bed. Both siblings were kneeled down, saying their final goodbyes. It was a very painful thing for the younger one, he felt as if he has failed in his duty to protect his family. The woman was hurt too, she didn´t have much time with her mother, but in the short months she passed with him they bonded in a way she has never done so before.

"I´m… returning to Konoha" she informed, putting down her hands. Her raven brother frowned, he disliked the place with all his hearth. "I know you don´t like it, but there are medics that will surely treat Otohime´s illness"

"I can stand the place for that" answered the Rinnegan eyed man. "But we can´t stay there… I can´t stay there, not after what happened between the bastard and me."

"He was your father, you know?"

"I know! It´s just that… he never really acted like a father" he bit his lip. "If he has done so then mama wouldn´t have been so unhappy in his life"

"I can understand that you can´t forgive him, but…" she looked at him, that hateful light was so strange in those eyes. She remembered them to be kind and cheerful, why? Yes, they were exactly like her father´s. "I won´t ask you to stay forever, just until she recovers"

"Ha! As if they would let me enter" he raised his fist. "And you shouldn´t arrive with one of the hated Uchiha Madara´s children, you are the Shodaime´s honorable daughter after all…"

"I will enter with my brother and the village people are not bad" she answered. "You will see, they are kind when you let them…"

"That´s funny! It seems that you didn´t know your village at all!" he laughed. "You are mistaken, nee-san, it´s you who will see their true faces, like me and Bya aniya did when we first embraced our mother´s heritage. Just don´t come crying at me after you saw it!"

-In the past-

"Are you ready?" Hagoromo asked and did the jutsu, sending his sons and Futami to Hamura. The teens were informed of what was about to be done and, even if Indra was a little bit uneasy, they all agreed it was the best. After they disappeared, he turned to his disciples. "Let´s go, we have work to do"
