Sylencia – It's alright to cry, we're all humans. Believe me I didn't like writing this chapter, it almost made me cry too. Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like it! That scene with Madara was fun to write, it also helped to make the story a bit less intense. Good humor is always nice. Yeah… I don't like Tajima either, not even Butsuma, they are all stupid people who use children to fight. I don't like those kind of people, I detest them. That's called child soldiers and it leaves them traumatized and unstable for society. Don't worry, the Senju's will make an entrance soon, two more chapters I think… ? J If my French would have been good, I'd be reading your stories now but I just get a major headache just by looking at the words. Sorry. L No problem, I love to help. J
SilverIcy – It is sad but I wanted them to be stronger, I wanted to shape up their dreams and vision for the future, especially Madara. Yeah, I love Sachiko's personality too, in contrary to Tajima, he is just plain annoying. How I wish I could kill him off but that will come, don't worry. Can't wait for it though. J Oh, don't worry, more pranks will come, Shisui is a sly, cunning girl who likes to make her brothers crazy.
So here are the ages for the ones that are confused, for this chapter only:
Uchiha Madara=10 years to 11 years old
Uchiha Izuna=8 years to 9 years old
Uchiha Tetsu (OC)=6 years to 7 years old
Uchiha Shisui=5 years to 6 years old
R.I.P Uchiha Daisuke – at the tender age of 9 he sacrificed his life for his brother's life, Uchiha Madara. (I wonder how many people liked his personality? What did you like about him? What did you dislike about him?)

Chapter 5: Bonding
Shisui wiped off the sweat on her brows, smirking at her brother, "Izuna-nii, prepare to hug the ground!" She charged at him and at the right moment, she had flickered behind him. Izuna had expected that and turned around, blocking the side-kick with his arms, enforced with chakra. He grunted but the challenging smirk never left his face, "You're so predictable, imouto."
She rolled her eyes and flipped backwards, skidding to a stop, "Fine. I'll show you something new." Performing another set of seals, Izuna watched in slight awe at the way her sister's hand seals had improved. It was like she did this her entire life, even with closed eyes. A slight shiver ran up his spine when he remembered how she had ordered them to use every hand seals with perfect speed, even with closed eyes. That was torture!
Embracing himself, he countered with one of his jutsu's, "I don't feel like seeing that!" He breathed in deeply and spewed out fire, grinning when he had interrupted her. "Hn. Def-" "Don't be cocky, nii-san." Shisui scolded him, clicking her tongue as she appeared behind him. "That's a bad trait to have."
Izuna stiffened, "What will you do now?"
Her dark chuckle made him scared for his safety. "Oh Kami, not that jutsu!"
"And why not?"
"B-because I don't want to see that!" He had screeched, eyes wide in fear.
Shisui breathed out, the hair on his neck standing up, "Too bad. Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu." The moment those words left her lips, he had cursed her and prepared himself for another terrifying image.
When he opened his eyes he was met with the sight of hundreds and hundreds shrieking banshees, all wearing big, wide eyes filled with hearts. "It's Izuna-sama! Get him!" The moment one of the girls shouted that, they all started chasing him. He tried pitifully to dispel the Genjutsu but Shisui's Genjutsu were so hard to dispel because she missed with your chakra system too, making it unstable to utilize. "I hate you, Shisui!" He had shouted, running in this nightmare.
Shisui smirked in satisfaction as she saw her brother who was trapped in her Genjutsu. It was an illusion that made him see a shocking scene, in this case a horde of rabid fan girls and she made it even harder for him to escape the Genjutsu. Why she was doing this? Simple, she wanted them to be able to use their chakra, command them, which would increase their chakra control.
Madara looked at her and smirked, shaking his head, "You're so evil."
"It's called training!" Shisui piped up.
"It's called torture," came Tetsu's reply. He snorted and smirked in amusement. "Aniki is right. You're evil."
Shisui shrugged her shoulders, "He knows his chakra control is bad, he needs to know that without it he will waste more chakra than necessary for his jutsu's." She looked down at him, seeing a pained expression on his face, "Hmm… maybe I overdid it this time?" She mused loudly, looking at her other siblings.
Madara raised his eyes brow, "You think?"
She laughed sheepishly, "Oh well. How long do you think he will stay there?"
"Hmm..," Tetsu rubbed his imaginary beard, "I give him two hours…"
"How long did it take for him to dispel the Genjutsu the previous time?" Madara asked, a light frown on his face.
Shisui clicked her tongue in disapproval, "Two hours and fifteen minutes."
"I'll go with Tetsu's judgement." Madara decided, crossing his arms, "Though, chakra control isn't Izuna's prowess, strategic thinking and Ninjutsu is more his genre."
She nodded, Tetsu agreeing with her, "Yeah, but he needs to destroy that weakness. Seriously, his hands flicker green for about ten minutes." She looked at Tetsu who was keeping the mystical palm technique on, along with Madara. She had insisted they kept it on, "Now, Tetsu-nii, heal away my fatigue."
He nodded and stepped forward, his soothing chakra embracing her until no signs of fatigue were evident, "You're awesome, Tetsu-nii, you're obviously talented! I bet no Senju would be able to heal like you could!" Well, maybe Senju Hashirama, future Shodai Hokage could but that aside, he was a genius.
"Be aware Senju's, today a new legend has been born." Tetsu spoke over-dramatically, brushing his bangs away, "One as handsome as the devil. Enemies would faint on spot just by feeling the enormous chakra capacity, women from all over the world would swoon at the beauty he was exuding. Kings bow-" "Could you please with that, I'm feeling sick." Madara interrupted him but Tetsu continued anyway, "-for his absolute power. No sane shinobi would ever dare to cross his path. No one." He ended his dramatic pose with an amused, "Hn."
Madara and Shisui sweat dropped, wondering when Tetsu got this full of himself.
"I see you are all speechless with my awesomeness. Admit it." He wriggled his eye brows, foxy grin on his face. Somehow he reminded her of a certain blonde-haired boy but who? She shook her head, turning to look at Madara, "Aniki, are you hungry?"
He nodded, the ethereal green glow vanished as he picked up Izuna, "Let's go, I don't think my mind could withstand another of his overdramatic speeches."
"You're just all jealous of my awesomeness!" Tetsu cried out, anime tears rolling down as he lifted his fist in the air.
Shisui cleaned her ear with her pinkie, looking at Madara, "Did you hear something?"
"Nope." He answered casually, already walking away, unconscious Izuna on his shoulder. "Man, Izuna is getting fat."
Shisui giggled, ignoring Tetsu who was brooding behind them, hands in his pockets, "Aniki, those are muscles-in-training."
"Tch. If you say so." He smirked when she giggled again. He loved to hear her melodious, innocent laughter, it was invigorating, a refreshing touch.
The four of them were once again training together, Sachiko watching them with amused eyes.
"Kaa-san!" Shisui cried out, "Can you walk on a tree?" She had asked Sachiko who tilted her head to the side. "Hmm… I saw many shinobi's walk on trees, even on water. I did try but I never got far, my bruises could testimony for them." She pulled up her sleeves where a thin scar was running up her arm. "You see this," She traced the scar with her finger, "It was on a sunny day when I decided to walk on a tree." She shivered, eyes glazed as the memories replayed in her head, "I had a decent amount of chakra on the soles of my feet and ran up the tree."
All her children were leaning in, curious about what would happen next.
"Halfway the tree I lost control and fell down." She flinched slightly, stroking her scarred arm, "My bones protruded out of my skin, from my wrist till my elbow." She laughed softly, "If it weren't for my grand-father, who was an experienced medical ninja, I wouldn't have survived that hit."
Shisui touched Sachiko's arm with green encased fingers, assessing and healing the scar. "He did an amazing job, though he wasn't that experienced. Tetsu would have been able to heal your arm completely without leaving any scars behind."
Tetsu blushed slightly at that praise but smirked when his mother looked at him. "That's my boy." She complimented him, ruffling his hair affectionately. He didn't even swat her hands away. He was such a mother's boy. Though, she couldn't blame him for loving his mother that much. She had a beautiful personality, always encouraging her children to do their best in training, cooking and cleaning for them. She was grateful for her, really, she was.
Madara rolled his eyes when he saw the blush on Tetsu's cheek, "Tch. Tetsu, you blush too much."
"You shouldn't be speaking, closet pervert." Tetsu countered back, smirking when his brother started twitching violently. He covered his ears for the next happening.
Madara raised his fist and glared at Shisui, "I'm no such thing, baka!"
"Madara-kun, you're what?" Sachiko asked in shock, hoping that her son wouldn't be a pervert.
Madara raised his arms, crossing them into an x, "No, kaa-san, that's not tr-" "Then why did you blush when imouto used that jutsu?" Izuna interrupted him, eyes glinting with mischief.
Sachiko didn't look happy. At all. Crossing her arms, she glared at her son, "Uchiha Madara, explain yourself."
He shrunk back, cheeks heating up, "Kaa-san, i-it's not what i-it looks l-like. They are e-exaggerating." When she only raised her brows, he continued, "Really. I'm no pervert, I swear!"
Shisui giggled softly, placing her head on Tetsu's shoulder, "Kaa-san, he had a nose bleed."
Madara glared at her, killing intent rising in the air but she swatted it away, observing her nails and chatting with Izuna. "Don't ignore me!" He shouted angrily, "Itai! Kaa-san!" He whined loudly, rubbing his head.
"You better not become a pervert or I swear to Kami I'll castrate you." She threatened him, deadly Uchiha glare in place.
Shisui and her other brothers shivered at that look. Who knew Sachiko could be that scary?
"K-Kaa-san…no…" he yelped in fear, eyes wide, "You are-" "I'm going to do it if you'll become a pervert." She spat in fury.
Hell has no wrath like a woman scorned. Oh boy, how right that was. Shisui was glad she wasn't on her receiving end. She looked with amused eyes as Sachiko continued lecturing him about the negative things of being a pervert. All the while laughing with his predicament.
"Ready?"
Sachiko nodded, "Ready."
Shisui locked eyes with Madara and Izuna. "If something bad happens, you know what to do."
They nodded seriously, already in their position. She averted her attention on Tetsu, "Tetsu-nii, prepare in case you'll be needed."
He inclined his head, "Hai!"
"Alright, kaa-san, go!" Shisui cried out, pumping her fist in the air.
Sachiko nodded in determination and ran towards the tree, intent on walking on it. It was her childhood dream to achieve that but unfortunately Kami wasn't on her side and she had never fulfilled her dream. Until now. She concentrated on her chakra and pushed them towards her feet, measuring the precise amount. She put her feet on it, then her other feet and started running the tree, her chakra boost helping her up. She reached the first branch, then the other one, the third, the fourth until she lost control and slipped.
Before she could fall off, Madara and Izuna were at her side, holding her up. She grinned at them, "That was fun! Again!" Yep, Sachiko was a lovely person who had a somewhat childish attitude. "Help me while I walk down."
Madara smirked at her mother's eagerness to learn and nodded, "Alright, otouto, hold her hand."
"Hai, aniki!"
Sachiko grinned as she walked down, concentrating on her chakra. "That was amazing!" She sighed in bliss. "Let me try again!" The moment she hit the safety of the ground, she started to walk on tree, her sons and daughter joining her as they laughed together, enjoying each other's company.
Shisui ran away, ducking and hiding behind a barrel filled with salty fish. She had to keep away from his sigh- "Shisui!"
She gulped and covered herself in an invisible Genjutsu, hoping Madara wouldn't notice her. Keeping her footsteps as silent as a cat, she snuck behind him, a salty fish in her hands and then pushed that fish in shirt and ran straight away, grinning and laughing as she heard her brother sputter in fury. "Shisui! You're dead!" He shouted loudly, clumsily getting the fish out of his clothes and grimaced at the smell. "Oh great, that stupid smell will follow me everywhere. Stupid Shisui…with her stupid pranks."
He groaned and followed her, using chakra to speed up. Sure, she was fast, amazingly so but he had larger limbs. It was all down to who had more stamina.
He chased her through the camp, enjoying the moment when his father wasn't in the camp. He never allowed such things like fun. That word didn't even exist in his brains. He had respect for him but the way he acted not so much.
Shisui grinned and looked behind her, seeing Madara's furious snarl, "Slowpoke!" She shouted, jumping on a tree and flipping forward. It was time their plan came into action. She whistled loudly, hearing two more whistles made her grin in anticipation. She led him out of the camp in the forest next to it. The moment she reached the tree with a red mark on it, she jumped down in the clearing, looking confident as she waited for her brother.
He appeared a minute later, growling in anger. Shisui decided to anger him further, "Aniki, you reek."
"Why you-?!" He charged at her, intent on hitting her a few times. He would have fun with her, so much fun.
Shisui twisted her a body swiftly like a snake, enjoying the way her brother seemed too preoccupied with his anger, blinding him. She jabbed all his weak spots, his openings and mocked him. She knew it wasn't smart but well, she needed him to become even more angry.
Ducking, she rolled to the left and crouched on her fours, smirking at him, "Seriously, get a shower!"
He glowed and leaped at her. Shisui switched her body with a log and watched with amusement as Madara fell down in the hold that Izuna and Tetsu made with an earth jutsu she had taught them. "Izuna! Now!" She heard the snapping of a rope and then a giant tree stomp fell on the hole, granting Madara no escape.
Tetsu came out and grinned, looking down at Madara's obvious anger, "Anger issues? Chill, aniki."
"Come down here and tell me to chill out in here, baka!" He screamed in anger, pulling on his bangs from frustration.
Shisui giggled, "Oh aniki, your weakness is your anger issues. You need to control it. Seriously, it made you literally blind for your surroundings. You would have notice that trap a mile away if you weren't clouded with killing your dear, innocent, beautiful, funny, strong, spirite-" "Will you shut up?" Izuna had asked her, appearing next to Tetsu.
"You guys are so mean!" She scoffed at him but the moment Madara punched the tree stomp laughter took its place. "Aniki, calm down. We'll be here helping you with your anger issues. Now, look at me," He scowled at her, crossing his arms and turning his back at her. "Not a fat chance. Go find some other source of entertainment."
She glared at him and nodded at Tetsu who smirked, "Oh, aniki~!" She sung smugly as Tetsu took out a sweet dango, one of the few that Sachiko had made, it was so rare to eat this since Sachiko didn't make this a lot, only for special occasions. She had made the sweet dessert because she had completely her tree-walking exercise and was trying water-walking. Shisui had kept this for this specific day.
Izuna chuckled softly, "Ahn, imouto is that dango?"
At that moment Madara whirled around, wide eyes looking at the delicious treat, "Did someone say dango?"
Tetsu grinned in triumph, "You would want this, don't you?" He swayed the dango back and forth, "Just complete imouto's exercise and yo- Whoa!" He had jumped away from the eager hand that had completely crushed the tree. Shisui yelped in shock, falling on her rear, even Izuna shrieked like a girl.
Three wide eyes watched the crazy expression on Madara, he looked like a lunatic. "Give me that dango, otouto, and there will be no casualties."
Tetsu looked at Shisui and Izuna with a helpless expression, "You said that tree would keep him in there?!"
"It was Izuna's idea!" Shisui stumbled upwards and stood next to her brother. Who knew Izuna's plan would fail? "Err…Izuna-nii?" Shisui did not see her other brother anywhere. Turning around her eyes bulged out, "You coward!" She screeched out, seeing him run as fast as possible like a maniac.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Tetsu, Shisui, you're both dead, along with Izuna." Madara threatened quietly, eying the dango, "And then I'll eat that dango in peace."
The two scared Uchiha bolted away from their big brother, screaming for forgiveness but Madara wouldn't have anything of that. It was time for sweet revenge.
"Did you think I didn't plan anything?" He smirked, waving his finger from left to right, "Don't think so." When those words left his mouth, three clones appeared and grabbed all three of his siblings. When they returned to him he smirked in glee as he watched their shivering forms, "Now, tie them up." He ordered his clones who chuckled maniacally and did as asked. Afterwards, he hung them upside down on the same tree his mother had achieved the tree-walking. He leaned against the tree and started eating his well-deserved delicacy. "Ahn, revenge sure is sweet."
That night, Izuna, Tetsu and Shisui slept in the open air, upside down while trying to fend off the hunger and cold.
"Izuna-nii, you're stupid." Shisui broke the silence, glaring at him.
He shrugged, "You only asked me to make a plan. You didn't mention fighting a crazy-hyper-sugary-crazy big brother."
"Tch. Idiot." Tetsu scowled at him, his stomach growling in hunger. "And therefore you had to abandon us?"
Izuna shrugged again, "To live is a humanly instinct! You can't blame me for being human, Tetsu-baka!" He protested loudly, swinging the rope back and forth.
"If I could I would hit you right now."
"Imouto, you love me too much to do that…" Izuna laughed sheepishly, his stomach begging for food.
Shisui glared at him, "Thanks to you we're here."
"Shut up." He answered her, bumping none too gently against her. "Both of you ran too!"
Tetsu sighed in annoyance, using his chakra to warm himself up, "Shisui-chan, you're right, chakra is very useful! I'm warming myself up!"
"Sugoi ne! I'm going to join you." She moved her chakra flow towards her entire body, using her fire affinity to heat up her body. "Ahh, that feels good…"
Izuna looked curiously at them, teeth shattering, "Mind telling me how to do that?"
"Nope." They spoke simultaneously. "Revenge!" Shisui added quickly, sticking her tongue out.
He only glared at their obvious warmth, hoping to burn them with his deadly glare, his stomach singing together with theirs.
While Madara was sleeping peacefully in his bunker bed, enjoying the warmth and his full stomach.
Near a crystal-blue river were five figures, each holding a towel at their side. "Now, kaa-san, are you sure?"
Sachiko was currently wearing a long loose maternal dress, wearing a serious expression, "Positive. I can do this."
Shisui nodded, "Alright, start and I'll see what you're doing wrong." Ever since that tree-walking Sachiko had devoted her time to train together with them. She had excellent chakra control but she just needed to brush it up after a long time. Still, she had average chakra capacity, it was good enough to walk on a tree or on a river, performing D-rank till C-rank jutsu's and that was it. She had to increase her capacity by training. The funny thing was that Tajima doesn't know a thing about her little secret.
Step by step, Sachiko walked on the river bed, concentrating as she kept the chakra at bay. When she finally reached the middle of the river, she stopped her wobbly legs and grinned widely, "I'm such an amazin-Aaaah!" She lost her control and fell in the water. Quickly, Madara dived in the water and helped her up since Sachiko couldn't swim, no one had ever taught her. It was appropriate for a girl to train, let alone to swim. When Madara pulled her out of the water, Sachiko coughed out water and looked up with a bright grin, "Again!"
All four of her children groaned simultaneously at that reply.
"For the love of Kami, kaa-san, you're even worse than Madara-nii when he is high on sugar!" Tetsu sputtered, flailing his arms.
Sachiko smiled sweetly, placing her hand on her hip, "Tetsu, my dear boy, don't make kaa-san angry or you'll end up like Madara?"
He flinched but nodded quickly, hiding behind Izuna who rolled his eyes and muttered, "Coward."
"I would have you know that kaa-san can be pretty scary!" Madara and Tetsu spoke in unison, shaking their fists in the air. They looked at each other and placed a hand on each other's shoulder, "Only you know how much that scarred me, brother." Madara whispered softly.
Said boy nodded, wiping off a fake tear, "I do, dear brother, I'll alw-Itai!" He sniffed pathetically as he rubbed his sore spot, looking at his mother. His eyes widened when she cracked her knuckles, "So I am scary?"
Both of them flinched at that look.
Shisui locked eyes with Izuna, "They're so dead meat."
"Couldn't have stated it any better, imouto." He replied slyly, watching how Madara and Tetsu were being hit continuously by their aggressive mother. Surprisingly, only that words fuelled her anger. So it seems, she was sensitive.
Sachiko grinned widely, holding a plate filled with sugary treats for her dear children, standing on a wide clearing where they trained frequently, "I made dango~!"
The moment those words left her lips, she heard loud sounds. Tilting her head, she looked with wide eyes how her children were storming towards her and the alluring smell.
Madara jumped over Tetsu like a rabid dog, eyes blazing with one thing and one thing only: dango. "Get out of my way! Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"
The other two cursed silently and rolled out of the way, not wanting to be burned alive. Shisui countered it quickly, "Suiton: Suishouha!" A large volume of water materialized out of nowhere and she directed it to the giant water, pumping more chakra in her jutsu.
In the meanwhile, Izuna was using that distraction to sneak on Tetsu, "Doton: Ganchuro no Jutsu!" Tetsu's eyes widened when a large amount of rock pillars appeared under him under ground. He cursed and started sawing the rocks with his chakra, not wanting Izuna to win. Summoning up a clone, he smirked and nodded at him to start his plan.
Izuna calmly walked towards his mother with an air of smugness, "Kaa-s-Nani?!" He shouted when he couldn't move his limbs, his head was forced to turn around and he looked with wide eyes how the captured Tetsu clicked his tongue, "Not so fast, aniki." Looking closely, he noticed that he had used chakra threads to use him like a puppet. "Not gonna happen." He answered quickly, using his chakra to cut the threads.
Madara saw his brothers fight with each other, he just had to get rid of Shisui. But how? He punched her but she dodged it and flipped over him like a damn monkey. She was so annoying when she became like that. "Just faint already!"
"No way! I'm not planning on sharing that dango!" Shisui screeched, biting his arm.
Madara screamed loudly, flailing his arm and trying to get Shisui off. "Get off my arm!"
Her answer was summoning another clone and bite his other arm.
And Sachiko? She just sat on the ground and ate the dango while she watched them fight for it. How she loved Dango Day.
