Your sentence was weird but I do understand it. :p *insert evil evil laugh* Tajima will die! Finally, after all those torturing chapters, I killed him off! Yay! Let's celebrate it!

Out of the blue but I mentioned in some small paragraphs where Tajima was narrating about his plans and then the fact that they randomly start befriending another Uchiha, getting to know each other, only to kill off later on Tajima's order.

Chapter 13: Truce

Shisui would be honest. She hated Tajima so much, she could hardly contain her anger when he was near her. She would glare at him, her Sharingan boring a hole in his back. She would bite her lips, drawing blood, that her brain associated with his. She wanted to rip off his Sharingan eyes. It had been another strained three months with her brothers but in the end she had forgave them. Without her they looked so lost, so hopeless, so vulnerable.

When she saw Tajima's smirk grow even more at that, she had decided to lay aside their stupidity and strengthen her bonds with her brothers once again. She wouldn't leave her brothers to fend off the lusting wolves. She would damned help them to clear away the trash.


Shisui smirked darkly at the both of them, having enough with the war and blood. "It's time both of you perished from this world. Amaterasu."

Blackness smothered them, covering their entire body as she watched it all happen with a gleeful smirk, listening to their beautiful melodies. She may be having nightmares about this but it was needed to straighten their path towards their future. Turning around, she blinked her eyes when quietness engulfed her, even when the war was still going on.

Soon, Shisui thought, no war will appear ever again.


Shisui looked with impassive eyes as Tajima's corpse was being burned, she felt absolutely nothing for his death. In contrary to Sachiko and her two brothers who she mourned for every single day. She felt empty… and absolutely giddy.

And yet, she glanced at Madara and Izuna, she was feeling overly happy. Time for some party! Changes would come soon, good changes and soon she would be looking down at Konoha, her Konoha.


The news had reached her ears and she smiled widely, jumping on her big brother as she snaked her arms around him, kissing him continuously on his cheek, "I'm so proud of you, aniki! You did it!"

Her conscience didn't even stir when they spoke about Tajima and Butsuma's death. After having witness how Tajima was brainwashing her brothers, she had enough of it all. She swore to get back to him and that she did. While Tajima and Butsuma were fighting, once again in a tie, she had snuck upon them, and waited till they got tired of each other. When that time came, she appeared out of thin air and killed them with the Mangekyou Sharingan that they both loved and hated with a passion. She had used Amaterasu on them, not even leaving behind their bodies. She knew her brothers suspected her but they didn't voice anything.

Madara laughed softly, his chest vibrating against her, "Now, now, imouto, I haven't seen you this happy for a long time."

"It's because you're the head clan now, you can lead us to peace!" She exclaimed in victory, happiness shining in her eyes.

Madara put her gently down, watching her sparkling, beautiful onyx eyes. His sister really was worth more than all the gold combined from the entire world. "I don't want to disappoint you but we have one more fight left before I'll accept a treaty with the Senju."

"What?!" Shisui screeched in bewilderment, disappointment clear in her eyes, "W-Why…?"

He stroked her cheek, "Father had accepted this before when he was head clan. I can't refuse it now."

She nodded her head sadly and looked at him, "This will be the last time?"

"I promise you it will be the last time." Madara promised her sincerely, brushing her bangs away and then kissed her on the cheek. "I promise." He repeated and Shisui tightened her hold on him, shedding tears of pure happiness.

Izuna had appeared, seeing this, "Whoa! What's all the love for?"

Shisui giggled softly, beckoning him to join their hug, "Izuna-nii! One more fight and then we'll have peace!"

He chuckled softly, nodding at Madara," Congratulations, brother, I- No, we are all proud of you." He walked towards Shisui and hugged her, knowing she would be angry if he didn't join her group hug session.

"Kaa-san, Daisuke and Tetsu would be so proud if they saw you right now." Shisui stated softly, "Let's go and tell them the good news."

With a nod, the two brothers followed towards their deceased beloved ones.


"Repeat what you said again, both of you." Shisui spoke sternly, crossing her arms.

Madara sighed tiredly, and Izuna was actually pouting, "We won't be using the Mangekyou Sharingan for a long period of time." They spoke in unison, huffing in annoyance when Shisui nodded happily, a wide smile on her face.

"Good! Very good! And if you even dare to use it, I'll start dating boys."

They shuddered in horror, nodding their head furiously, "No need to be that cruel, imouto." Izuna said warily, looking at his sister and he could swear he saw horns popping out of her head.

"I won't if the both of you won't use the Mangekyou, you know that it will blind you, don't." She refused to let them be blind because of their stupidity.

"How come your eyes are still good?" Madara asked curiously since he knew that Shisui had used the Mangekyou several times.

She sighed and sat on his desk, moving the stacks of paper out of the way, "I'm researching how to undo the blindness." This piqued their interest, "Till now I could only heal my damaged coils if I used one or two attack in a span of three months. Besides, I never forced my Mangekyou Sharingan that much." She shrugged and looked them dead serious in the eyes, "Aniki, Izuna-nii, don't use it too much or one of us will be forced to rip out their own eyes so the blind one could regain his or her sight." Her brothers looked in horror at that, shivering as they imagined that disturbing scene. Shisui didn't stop, "And when one of you will turn blind, I'll gouge out my eyes."

They jerked their head back in clear shock and disgust, even more disturbed when they heard that.

"Are we clear?" She asked again.

Two nods.

Then Shisui smiled brightly, "Perfect! Now," She looked at Madara who raised his brow at her bi-polar behaviour, "I want your permission to teach the women in our clan about medical chakra so at least that way they can be useful. What do you say?"

Madara pondered at that, thinking about the great advantages he would have. Shisui was a very experienced medical-nin, capable of healing almost any injuries, it's as if she had known about these jutsu's all along. She did falter a few times but that was to be expected. Afterwards, she could utilize it greatly, no, perfectly. She had saved many Uchiha men, who without her wouldn't be walking on the streets out there. Their respect for her was growing and he was proud to have her as his little sister.

"Aniki, I agree with imouto's plan. That way the women won't spend their time with useless gossips." Izuna piped up, agreeing with Shisui's suggestion. "It would highly increase the Uchiha's expectancy." He continued, smirking at her.

Madara chuckled softly, shaking his head, "Imouto, as the head clan, I give you permission."

"Yatta!" Shisui exclaimed happily, running towards her big brother to place a kiss on his cheek, rubbing her cheek with his, "I love you! I love you!"

"I better be the only one you say it to." Madara frowned when Shisui bopped up her head, and Izuna shouted in outrage, "What about me?!" He stared at Izuna, and smirked, "Nope, only me."

"That's not fair!" Izuna pouted, glaring at Madara.

Madara scoffed at him, "Don't look at me like that, you look like a drowned dog."

Shisui giggled, shaking her head, "Aniki, Izuna-nii actually looks cute. I've heard a lot of girls gossiping about the two of you." Feeling like playing with them, she continued, clamping her hands shut and holding it close to her cheeks as she batted her eye lashes, "And I quote from them, Izuna-sama is so handsome he looks like a fallen angel whose wings had been brutally clipped." Izuna blanched at that and Madara snickered, "And oh, Madara-sama,I want to feel his muscled abdomen under my squirming-" "Get out!" Madara shouted, throwing a kunai at her, which she dodged, "body." Shisui finished, feeling two angry pairs of eyes aimed at her, "What?! They are funny to talk to, especially when I hand them information about the two of you for dango."

"You sold us for food?" Izuna shouted in disbelief, eyes wide.

Madara's eye brows twitched, "Imouto."

"Oops." Shisui spoke loudly, placing a hand in front of her lips, "Did I just say that out loud?"

Izuna cracked his knuckles, Madara getting up slowly, advancing towards her in a predatory manner. "Run." He threatened darkly, eyes glinting ominously.

Shisui yelped and bolted out the room, screaming throughout the entire camp as her two brothers chased after her, using her as a pincushion.

Shisui looked at all the women who were lined up in a line, all between the age of seven till forty and above. Since women weren't allowed to become kunoichi because they had the Uchiha blood flowing through their veins and could be used as breeding stock for the enemy, she had to train them from scratch. Still, on one side she did understand their desperation but degrading women like that, well, they weren't doing better than the enemy. Right now, they were all being used, well willingly used, to create more offspring but Shisui had enough. It was time for revolution, it was time that females were being equal to men.

Being labelled as a man or woman doesn't mean that you have to discriminate them. It means that you respect both their quality from both side. Because in the end a man or woman was human, just like everyone with a beating heart.

"Alright, I'll be honest with all of you, being a medical-nin will be hard and struggling. You'll have to be willing to shed blood, sweat and tears. If you aren't going to be serious about it, then I suggest that you will drop out now." She looked at them with serious eyes, she felt kind of weird to command them when she was fourteen years old but well, somebody had to do it. "Good, I expected nothing less from the strong Uchiha women."

She smiled softly when they saw them straighten their back, looking at her with determined eyes, eyes that were willing to help the clan.

"Today we'll be le-" She was interrupted when Madara and Izuna appeared, walking towards her with amusement flickering in their eyes. A sigh escaped her lips when she saw that her students had devoted their complete attention on her brothers, "Oh for the love of Kami…" She slapped her forehead, wondering why they had to come now.

"Aniki, Izuna-nii," She inclined her head with narrowed eyes, "May I know why the both of you decided to appear when I was teaching?" Quieter, "Can you hear their squeals? Do you know how troublesome they will be when the both of you are going to leave?"

Madara smirked at her ranting, "We didn't know we could take the attention of every single fe- Wait, how old is that female ogling me?" He suddenly asked, shuddering in horror.

"That female is Matsu and she is forty, don't be so mean." Shisui replied angrily, "Now stop being so damn annoying and tell me the real reason why you are here, both of you." She asked irritated, placing her hand on her hips.

Izuna eye-smiled at Shisui, "Can't brothers decide to look at their lovely little sister?"

"There are no boys." Shisui deadpanned and groaned when she saw Izuna's cheeky smile and Madara smirk.

Madara looked at Izuna, "Didn't you say you had something to show me, otouto?"

"In fact, I suddenly remember what it was again?" Izuna answered his brother, mirth sparkling in their eyes.

Shisui hit her forehead, mumbling, "Why did Kami give me stalkers as brothers?" She looked up at the sky, raising her arms, "Why, Kami, are you so cruel to me?!"

Suddenly she felt all eyes on her and she chuckled sheepishly, looking at her brothers and then her students, "Err…sorry…?" She squeaked embarrassingly and then glared at her brothers, shooing them off, much to the disappointment of her female students.

"Wait." Izuna said abrupt, glancing at one of the women who was averting her eyes from him, sweating.

He walked towards her, observing her closely, ignoring the quiet squeals from the younger females. He let them since he was handsome and he was aware of it. He studied her nose, her eyes, the shape of her lips, the small, almost invincible moustache- wait, what? "Nani?!" He spoke loudly, grabbing the –bulky?- arm of the person. "You are an impostor!" Cue the loud gasps from the shocked women, "You are a boy!" He grabbed the non-existent bulks from under the shirt and felt two sturdy apples.

Pulling him towards Madara who was frowning at the scene, he spoke again, "Setsu, what did we say about peeking on the females?" Madara spoke in irritation, Sharingan activate.

Setsu gulped and looked at Shisui who was disturbed and shocked at the discovered revelations. She didn't even notice him! But he really looked like a girl, damn the Uchiha's and their androgynous genes. "I-I don't want to fight. I w-want to be a medical-nin." He explained quietly, looking down in shame. He didn't want anyone to discover his secret, he was fed up with the constant blood and fights after fights. There never seemed to come an end to it.

Shisui's eyes softened at that, "Aniki, maybe we could let him become one if he shows amazing healing skills?"

Madara was about to say no but when he looked at his sister's big black doe-eyes that was waiting for an answer, he grunted in confirmation. He was such a sucker for his little sister and glared at Izuna who had noticed his unwillingness to say no to Shisui, except when it came down to boys. Then, he would be as ruthless as a lion, he didn't care if Shisui was going to be angry, no boy will touch her until she was forty. Back then he had been dead serious but it seems that she thought he was joking. Not a fat chance. "Fine." He answered gruffly, "But if you dare to do something with my little sister, I'll slaughter you. Are we clear?"

Setsu quickly nodded his head, sweat dripping off his forehead. He knew how much Madara loved Shisui, and if one single guy even dared to glance in her direction blood would be shed. "Clear as crystal, Madara-sama!"

"Good."

Shisui raised her eye brow, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, you can go on." Madara ordered.

"Aniki, don't worry, I can take care of myself." Shisui eased him, smiling gently.

Izuna spoke up, "We know you can."

Shisui flailed her arms in the air, shaking her head, "Both of you are unbelievable!" With an annoyed huff, she motioned for Setsu to follow her. When she stood in front of her exciting students, trying very hard to ignore two pairs of dark onyx eyes, "Today, my brothers will be attending the first lesson. If there are any objections to this, please raise your hand." No hands, "No one?" She tried again, her heart dropping. "You can say it, I won't be bothered by it." She looked at each one of them, "Please?" She whimpered but even then they looked at Madara and Izuna with hearts in their eyes.

She turned towards their smug look, mouthing, 'I hate the both of you.'

"Love you too, imouto." Izuna replied cheekily, waving at her.

And the crowd behind her melted at that, cooing how Shisui got such great, loving brothers.


Alright, she had established the seal and she would try it, with her brothers watching her, looking if there were any errors with her jutsu. Taking a deep breath, she threw her proto-type, her kunai with the etched seals and then concentrated on her body flicker technique- She shrieked when she was thrown backwards, an explosion occurring.

The last thing she heard were her brothers frantic shouts.


Shisui's head throbbed, last night was another fail with her Hirashin no Jutsu. How many times did she fail already? Shaking her head away from those depressing thoughts, she concentrated on her pupils who were doing the leaf exercise, some had advanced towards the tree-walking and others were even doing the water-walking. Uchiha women were an impressive bunch.

"Good, Rya-chan, you have amazing chakra control." She praised her mother's best friend. The woman blushed under the compliment, sweat matting her forehead. "Don't force the chakra, let it flow with you, together."

She nodded, concentrating on the water-walking then she lost control but before she could fall in the water, Shisui grabbed her, screaming loudly, "I'm touching a female! A female for Kami's sake!"

Two flickers of chakra spiked but disappeared quickly.


Shisui took a deep breath, "I can do this!" Throwing her kunai, she concentrated on that certain place. Instead of appearing on the ground she appeared twenty feet in the air, falling down. "For the love of Kami! Why?" She shrieked, flailing her arms like a chicken. She was fucking pissed! Surging chakra through her legs, she ruptured the ground under her.

Madara didn't even look up, "Put another mark."

"Mark check." Izuna chirped happily, ignoring Shisui's angry glare.


Shisui looked with wide eyes as she observed the battlefield. This was not supposed to be like this. Their last time wasn't supposed to be this bloody.

"Hirashingiri!" Tobirama shouted, and with sword in the hand, he teleported in front of Izuna instantaneously and delivered a devastating slash in his abdomen, blood spurting out. Shisui watched with wide horrified eyes how Tobirama mortally wounded her dear brother, "Izuna!" She shrieked in desperation, pain and fear clenching her heart, squeezing it till the last drop of blood had fallen on the ground.

She felt the salty tears rolling down as she dashed towards him, repeatedly shouting his name in frantic worry. This was a nightmare, she didn't see her idol injure her brother like that.

"Izuna!" Madara yelled in fear, eyes wide, he appeared next to him, keeping him from falling face first on the ground. She gently pulled Izuna on the ground, ripping his kimono open as she assessed his injuries with red, puffy eyes, "Izuna-nii, look at me," She stroked his cheek, "Keep looking at me."

"Don't c-cry, my beautiful i-mouto." He coughed blood in an alarming rate and she started healing him, forcing all her chakra into him. That attack had literally ripped a good chunk of his left side. She had to recreate new cell, push them together, coax them, knit the muscle tendons, heal his ribs, and then she had to close the wound.

She saw Hashirama stepping forward, hands shaking, "Madara, you can't win, the Senju won't win, no one will win. We should…," He panted loudly, eying Izuna with worry and concern. "…put an end to all of this." He took a deep breath, continuing, "If the two mightiest clan, the Uchiha and the Senju, were to join hands every neighbouring country would see how futile it was to challenge us and eventually the fighting would cease. Think about it…" He pleaded with him.

Blinking her eyes to clear her blurry vision, "Stay with me, you stupid, overprotective brother of mine."

He chuckled weakly but then had to cough up more blood to the point of throwing up blood. "Don't laugh, b-baka!" She closed her eyes, willing his cells to heal faster. She had all the knowledge, all the chakra, all the experience, she couldn't fail her big brother, she couldn't fail Izuna. She couldn't lose another brother. "Please! Please!"

Madara looked at a crying Shisui and a coughing Izuna, moving his attention towards the desperate Hashirama and the satisfied Tobirama. What should he do? He had promised his little sister, he had promised her peace, damnit!

His eyes widened considerably when he saw Shisui shrieking in helplessness, using lightning bolts to coax Izuna's heart to restart again. She started hitting him on his chest, opening his mouth and forcing her breath in him, trying to pour her life force in him. He looked back at him and whispered darkly, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning eerily, "I was planning on sending you a peace treaty after this fight since I couldn't draw back. But if my little brother doesn't survive this, no truce between the Uchiha and Senju will occur."

Hashirama's eyes widened at that statement, turning to look at Shisui who was trying to heal his brother. Without thinking, he stormed towards her, hands encased in green, "Shisui! I'll help you." He started calming down Izuna's blood circulation, slowing them down.

Madara sat down next to them, hands also encased in green as he worked on Izuna's heart, making sure that blood was flowing towards his entire body.

Every Senju and Uchiha in the area stopped fighting, no, to be specific, every Senju and Uchiha, stopped fighting, watching the two head clans and Shunshin no Shisui heal Uchiha Izuna, all holding in their breath.

After thirty minutes, Tobirama hesitantly approached the group, kneeling down, which surprised everyone, even Hashirama had stopped healing but he continued when Madara barked at him, "What can I do?" Even he knew his standards, if they were going to have a treaty then he might as well start good, not that Madara and Izuna would forget this but he could hope that they would forgive him.

"Hold him steady, he is trembling too much." Shisui advised quickly, not wanting Madara to say or do something stupid.

Shisui sniffed quietly, having a feeling that everything would turn out alright. Nothing bad could happen, nothing. With renewed energy, she continued healing him.

After an hour, Izuna stopped trembling.

After two hours, Izuna was out of the danger zone.

After two hours and a half, Izuna got healed completely.

When he fluttered his eyes open, he groaned in pain when Shisui snaked her arms around him, pecking him constantly on the cheeks, murmuring, "You're safe. You're safe!" He lifted his fingers, with a tired smile, wiping off her tears, "Imouto, don't cry, you'll get wrinkles like aniki."

Madara glared playfully at him, grabbing Izuna's hand and squeezed it. Izuna smiled weakly at him.

"That was tiring- Huh?" Hashirama blinked his eyes when everyone was watching them anxiously and since Shisui and Madara were hovering over him, they couldn't see it, "He is safe people!" and then cheers erupted, much to his surprise.

That day the Uchiha and the Senju celebrated the start of a very good friendship. It may have been started roughly and bloody but in the end they got through, in the end their childhood's dream became reality.

That day Shisui's heart fluttered like never before.
