"What was dad thinking when he sent us here?" asked Indra, sipping some water under the watchful eyes of Futami-san. Asura was by his side, doing the same. Their vacations on the moon were not exactly what they were expecting it to be. Yes, on the moon you can get a lot of sunlight (Asura got a tan that any supermodel would kill for, much to Indra´s anger) and the ones that hurt Indra or the places where they did that were not there, helping the older a lot.

"In your mental health, I think… and in me babysitting you" answered the other, putting on some ancient form of sun cream.

"I don´t need a babysitter!"

"You are prone to panic attacks that end up with something destroyed, so…" the older brother fumed. Yes, he had a few incidents where he pierced the roof with the Susanoo or burned something with the Amaterasu, but in his defense it was only when he remembered something about the abuse… and his father and brother were there to calm him down.

"Huh… anyway, Futami-san is here too, means YOU need a babysitter?"

"Of course not!" they begin to have some kind of friendly verbal fight. Their father´s follower was about to go to stop them when he was stopped by the lord of the moon.

"Leave them, there is nothing to worry about, every pair of brothers has this kind of fights" he softly told. They saw the teens in silent and the Ootsutsuki laughed, remembering other times. "Me and Hagoromo used to have this kind of fights all the time! I´m glad some things haven´t change, it makes me feel less old."

"Hamura-sama, again I thank you for…"

"There is no need, I would do more than this for aniya and my nephews… a cute pair, no?" he lowered his head. "Is a pity something like that have to happen to Indra, I could tell… One day in a party when I was sixteen a bunch of drunken men attacked me. Mother arrived in time to send them flying to the Shinju, but… it was the scare of my life. It took me a lot to be the same again"

"Hamura-sama?"

"Don´t tell Hagoromo, okay?" sighed the white haired male. "He would go into a fit"

"Yes, Hagoromo-sama is very protective of his family"

"This is a proof that he is" the Byakugan eyed male looked at the teens, that were now laughing on the floor. "They are such nice boys and Indra dear is strong, everything will be alright. He will recover, I´m sure"

"Hope so, Hamura-sama, because Hagoromo-sama is afraid for him"

"Let me talk to him when I accompany you back to earth, he will understand."

-In the earth-

"Do you have the list?" asked Hagoromo after a very hard session with his first disciples. One of them was writing down names in a paper, the ones of the men that abused their teacher´s eldest. The list was not very big, but not short either. They have a lot of work ahead of them.

"Yes" answered Yuzuru, the writer, handing the paper to his master. "Kisa-san too, eh? I never really trusted him, he had a very dark history…"

"Some of us had a dark history before joining Hagoromo-sama and didn´t turn up to be child rapists" said Tenga, raising a fist.

"I´m not saying that! It´s just that… they used to say that he was a killer besides of a thieve and that he did some very nasty things to a child… if you understand me" the white haired male bit his lip. "We shouldn´t have accepted him"

"Hagoromo-sama always wanted to see good in evil people… like us"

"Tenga, I know, he changed us too, but… there are some people that are beyond redemption"

"Stop, it´s enough" the Sage stopped them. "It´s not time to cry about the past, we need to concentrate in the future. We will purge the ninshu from those not worthy of it" they all nodded. "Bring me the culprits"

"Hai, Hagoromo-sama!" the lifted and ran away. The Rikkudo Sennin stayed in his place, waiting for something. He knew that thing was inside of his house, searching for his children. It made him sick, that thing was so twisted that he wanted to take advantage of a child´s pain to achieve some crazy dream. The world was better without his mother, thank you.

"Where are you?" he asked to the air, using his chakra to track the creature he didn´t want to call his brother down. "There" he found it in Indra´s room, searching for said teen. He opened the door, startling the goo. "Hello, Will of my Mother"

"Hagoromo…"

"I know what you wanted to do and it might have worked… had I not the help of a little jutsu created by one of Mother´s old enemies"

"Enemies? Oh, Obelisk. He… they sent you back in time" the hissing voice got full of anger. "Are you ready to pay for their price?"

"They were dying, it was an accident"

"Oh, don´t believe that just because of that they stopped being cunning. With them there is always a price to pay for their jutsu… their amusement" Zetsu smiled. "And their amusement usually means the end of the known world"

"I will defeat them…"

"Not even Mother was able"

"I´m not about to get distracted by you meaningless talk" Hagoromo knew that he was probably going to pay a lot for his second chance, but he was not willing to lose it. He will enjoy it while he still can. And change the future, for one better where all his descendants were happy, even the Uchiha. "Let´s fight"

-In another time-

Maki practically dragged his brother to the carriage that will take them all to Konoha, including Otohime. The kunoichi thought her niece was going to enjoy living in a place with lots of other children to play. Sorato tried to explain to her that they weren´t exactly to be welcomed with open arms, but she refused to listen. The older Uchiha has lived with them so much time and was sure of the villager´s pure hearths. They will surely receive them.

"You didn´t know why we left, no?" he asked in the middle of the way. "Did mama told you something about it?"

"He just said that it would be better if the villagers didn´t knew he was my mother, but I don´t see what it would be a great deal. Of course there will be an scandal, but…"

"Not just a scandal, remember that you are returning with me, the infamous Sorato of the Kyoka Suigetsu, the man that killed their beloved Shodaime" he frowned deeply. "I didn´t. I never wanted that last blow to be fatal, he made it that way"

"Concious or unconscious?"

"I´m… not sure. I think he couldn´t stand what happened to Bya" he lowered his head. "Hashirama Senju… they believe him to be a saint, but he wasn´t. We know that more than anyone, he was a coward"

"A little, yes" she gave him a look. "Otouto, do you wanted him to… be the father you never had? Was that why you went to him for help?"

"I was a naïve fool, why would that bastard even listen to me? This proofs Bya was right all the time, he is not worth our time"

"Bya… I never really knew him, my only memories were of Pochiri and they were very different" she smiled. "How was him? And Izuna? I never saw him in my life, I would like to know how my younger brothers were before their deaths."

"Bya… Byakuya was a hothead" the green eyed male smiled. "Hell, mom use to say that he was a walking temper. He exploded very easily and could cause a mass destruction with his Katon… but he had his loving side too. Aniya would do anything to protect us two, that´s why Izuna´s dead shocked him so much, almost turning him crazy with rage" his expression turned sad "He was a big mama´s boy too. He tought it was his duty to protect and take care of our mother, even if he didn´t need it. And he hated seeing his family members hurt, that´s why he hated the bastard so much."

"He seemed like a very rash person"

"Bya was… at least when he was out of combat. When in front of a client or in the battlefield, he controlled himself well" she raised an eyebrow. "He did! Our damn father just got the worst out of him, like with most of us"

"And Izuna?"

"Izu was naïve, like a baby" he crossed his arms. "much to our joy, I have to tell. He didn´t grow to be hateful like us, the little sunshine always knew how to make us feel better. He grew up to be a great medic nin, but he fair well in the battlefield too. His only problem was… he didn´t want to fight. And he had too much fate in people, even if they didn´t deserve it."

"Sounds like my father"

"In a way…" he smiled low. "He was the most Senju of all of us. He had a little inferiority complex too because of that, I know he envied our Uchiha charming…" his smile turned cocky. "Who could not, we are freaking sexy!" then his expression changed again. "Outside of Konoha live was hard and mama did all he could to give us everything… to the point he got really sick and nearly died. Izu was young, but already a medic, so he stayed by his bed while me and Bya tried to find some money. He did well, but he said he was never going to put a food on the battlefield again after it."

"He did? Why?"

"Izu developes a jutsu, one wih devastating effects that he could never really control. It ended up exterminating an entire town" he sighed. "That scared him"

"That´s horrible"

"It was not supposed to happen, it was an accident"

"I know, but…" she looked at Otohime and decided against telling something against her mother. "And you? We didn´t exactly talk when we were kids, you were always the annoying antisocial little brother… no offence, but you were."

"Because I knew, something deep in my mind told me that that woman was not my mother"

"How?"

"I spent a whole month with mama before been taken away from him, maybe that was the difference"

"What do you like?"

"Genjutsu, singing, going to the bar… normal teenager things if you don´t count torturing people with my Tsukuyomi" he laughed. "Specially perverts, I attrack them like flies to honey. And then… kukuku"

"Hu, yeah…" she said nervously. "Any noral thing? Like a love interest?"

"A… a…" Sorato started to sweat as if he has just seen his worst nightmare. It took nearly half an hour to broke him out of that state. "I… um… have a little phobia… of love" Maki´s eyes widened. Was he serious? "Please don´t tell anyone, a person as strong as me with such a stupid fear…"

"Well, everybody has fears" she assured. "There is nothing to ashamed of, nobody is perfect"

"You are speaking like mama now"

"Well, I´m his daughter, no?" the journey continued. When they were about to reach Konoha a patrol leaded by Tobirama Senju stopped the carriage. Maki get out of it to face her uncle, who had an expression full of disdain, something he never showed her. "Uncle, what´s the matter?"

"You even dare to ask? Mito-hime already told us all" he looked down at her, the same as the other shinobi. "To think that my brother would do such a thing… that he would contaminate our sacred Senju blood with the cursed one of the Uchiha… no, with the cursed one of that Madara!" he grabbed her rather roughly. "Tell me where he is"

"He is dead"

"You are lying! We know that he survived the Valley of End, is somewhere and that you went to see him" he shook the woman. "Tell me where that demon is this instant!"

"Hey, don´t do that to my mom!" Tsunade yelled, getting out of the carriage.

"Stay back!" he ordered, startling the genin. "I don´t care you are just a little girl, I will exterminate you just like I did with all my Uchiha enemies in the war"

"We are not your enemies, we are your family" answered Maki, getting free of her uncle´s hold. "Your only family"

"Not if you have the blood of that man in your veins" stated the albino, crossing his arms. "Now tell where he is"

"I already told you, he is dead. I was there taking care of him before he died" she faced the Niidaime. "As you told me a daughter has to do"

"Not with him, you betrayed Konoha by doing so"

"I did nothing!"

"He was a missing nin! That´s enough reason!" he screamed and then slapped her hard. The female felt to the ground, surprised for this. She has never been hit by a member of her family in her life. The Senju raised his hand again. "Now tell me the truth or…"

"Leave her alone" Sorato grabbed his hand. Tobirama´s eyes widened when he saw his brother´s killer alive. He sweated, knowing that he had little chance against him. "And don´t dare to put a hand on my sister again or you will see just how powerful I am."

"I´ve already seen it, remember? Against my brother" the Hokage moved away from the siblings. "You killed him only by luck, because he got overconfident"

"Ohhhhh… how about you prove it? Here and now"

"Bring it on"

"Sorato…"

"Don´t worry, nee-san I can beat him without moving"

"Less talk and more action" Tobirama threw his special knives at the adversary, hoping that the overconfident young man would fell for the same trick as his maternal uncle, but Sorato jumped to avoid his killing blow. Then his eyes turned purple with rings, something that surprised and terrified the others even more.

"That´s all? I haven´t begun yet" he waited for a second to make the hand signs. "Come here… my Sixth Paths of the Angel!"

"Six… paths?! That should be a technique only the Rikkudo Sennin could use!" yelled Hiruzen, but instantly some creatures appeared and started attacking. Tobirama was nothing to them and realized his mistake too late. He provoked the monster of heavens and now all were going to pay for this.

"See, Tobirama Senju? What I showed you in my fight with your brother was nothing!" laughed the raven. "This is my true ocular power, the Rinnegan! And this… you should remember" the hand sign were painfully known to the albino. "Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan" trees began appearing from the ground. "Taste a bit of the power your brother inherited to me!"

"Damn it!" he said when dodging a branch that was about to impall him. Why haven´t he tought about this before? Of course Hashirama was bound to have a very powerful and dangerous child, but has it really to be the one that hates him the most? Then it came to him, he didn´t have time to send curses to his brother in heaven! He needed to save the village! "Stop right…"

"Sorato! Don´t destroy it, Otohime still needs a healer!" reminded him Maki and the green eyed ninja stoped, sighing he went to he carriage and carried out and unconscious black haired girl. She was breathing very badly.

"Who is that?"

"Uchiha Otohime, my niece, the girl you made an orphan" answered the angel and walked towards the village.

"There will be no healer wanting to help Uchiha Madara´s descendant in there!"

"There will be one and she is the best" answered the woman. To say she was disappointed of her uncle was saying the lesast. Sorato for his part wasn´t even phased that the man´s prejudges led him to reject his own last family.

"Let´s go"

-A week after-

"She is completely healed" announced older Tsunade. The poison was officially out of her cousin´s system and the girl was allowed to go outside to play with others… even if no one outside her cousin wanted to do so. Orochimaru and Mitsuki have been very busy lately, trying to find a way to return them all home and failing. Apparently the Twins of the Bicolored Obelisk were not so kind as to give up their secrets kindly. Well, that didn´t worried the older woman. What did was… "Where is Sorato, mother?"

"I don´t know…" Maki said, worried about her brother. Since the recovery of Otohime he has been closing up, getting reclusive just as when he was a child. His sister knew he was suffering, but didn´t want to talk with anyone of that. The bad thing was that she was suffering too and this wasn´t precisely the place to go through mourning phase. She has realized why her family hated this village. In the last seven days the attitude of the villagers towards her completely changed. They were no more the kind people she used to know, they were bad making her pay more for food and other things and glaring at her or her children when they pass. "To think that the only fact of being my mother´s daughter would change this completely"

"It was to expect from a place like this, didn´t Sorato tell you? And coming back to him…"

"I don´t know where he is, really"

"Maybe we should find out"

Sorato walked towards the edges of the village, ignoring the fear and hate everybody threw towards him. Yes, they all hated the killer of their beloved Shodaime, but no one wanted to take revenge because said ninja was more powerful than him and Madara. The young Uchiha snorted, he was really gifted by genetics. He reached the place, an abandomned little house in the edge. No one dared to go close because it was the one Madara and his demon offspring habited once.

"I´m back, mama" he said just out of habit, opening the door. He went straight to a room and undid a seal, pulling out some old clothes and armor. When they ran away they couldn´t take everything with them, so their mother hid some of their belongings. This is particular were ones he wore when he was younger… in war. He undressed himself and put them on quickly. When he looked at himself in the broken mirror he couldn´t believe it. "The resemblance is striking" he walked throught the village wearing those garments, making some of the villagers believe they were seeing the old Uchiha clan head, until he reached his sister´s house. "Nee-san"

"Sorato? Is that you?" she asked, thinking that she was seeing the ghost of her mom. "What´s happening?"

"I can´t stand this place anymore. I know you think is the best for the kids, but… it won´t stay that way forever. And this is already hell for me"

"I know, but…"

"Nee-san, this is never going to work. Konoha and I… have a long history together, not precisely a good one" the younger brother sighed. "I´m better on my own, doing something useful, like catching that damn thing that killed our mother"

"Do you really want to go after Zetsu? It could take decades!"

"He will come after me for my Rinnegan and I will be waiting. Don´t underestimate me" he smiled and hugged her. "Goodbye, nee-san, and good luck"

"Goodbye"

"Goodbye to you too, older Tsunade, thank you for everything… oh, and say goodbye to the snake duo for me"

"Sure thing" Sorato left that day, using his mother´s famous garments and leaving behind a famly that will wait for him. "Do you think we will see him again, mother?"

"Absolutely"
