The next morning, just before dawn, the Uchiha, along with their two newest Clan members, gathered up their belongings to return to Fire Country and the Uchiha Clan Lands.
Tobi broke the seal that had been making her hair grow since the day before. Her white hair now reached the middle of her back.
"Tobi?"
She looked over her shoulder to Izuna who was standing behind her with a hopeful look. "Yes?"
"May I braid your hair?"
Tobi blushed. She didn't trust herself to speak but she nodded.
Izuna smiled happily. "Sit down and I'll braid it, so it won't be in your face as we travel."
The other Uchiha watched with more than a little jealously while Izuna played with Tobi's hair.
Kozue murmured quietly "If Izuna fucks this up, our kin will have no problem kicking him aside to court her."
Hikaku snorted "If either Izuna or Madara fuck up their courtship of the Blessed, I'm leaving our lands for at least a year."
Kozue looked at him with surprise "Madara and Tobira?"
"I'm not surprised you didn't notice." Replied Hikaku. "He's being a lot more subtle than Izuna." The two men looked at each other, grinned and resumed packing.
Madara, after making sure Izuna was behaving properly to Tobi, looked at Tobira "Do you want to bring your armor?"
"No," Tobira shook his head. "Leave it here. It should still be fairly identifiable even after you burn down this building. And since 'The Senju Ghost' is supposed to be in Iron and Tea…it will cause more confusion."
"Good. I hope the two of you are going to cover up, I'd hate to see the two of you get sunburned."
Tobira huffed a small laugh "And I don't want to experience that sunburn!"
After making sure that the twins were properly covered and that nothing was left behind to identify that the Uchiha had been there, Madara personally set fire to the building.
The glow from the fire rivaled the rising sun.

After four days of travel, they arrived back to the edge of the forest where the Senju and Uchiha lands met. While Tobira and Tobi were the strongest sensors of the Senju, everyone hid their chakra just in case, as they made their way towards the Senju Compound. When they were fairly close, Tobira henged into a Senju civilian. After a look at his twin and Madara, Tobira made his way into the Senju Compound.
A tense hour later, another Senju civilian walked out of the Compound and made his way into the forest. As he approached the group's hiding spot, Tobira released the henge.
"Did you get everything you wanted?" asked Madara.
"Yes, plus some other things."
"Will Hashirama notice?" queried Izuna.
"He won't. Mito or Touka might. They haven't been in our room or office recently as far as I know." Replied Tobira.
"Then let's go home." Madara gently herded his kin across the river, onto Uchiha lands and back home.

When the rest of the Uchiha were introduced to the Senju Twins, they were shocked that the Senju had actually tried to hide the Twins away and were ashamed of the honor Amaterasu had given them. After a few mutterings about the newest Blessed being Senju, most of the Uchiha weren't willing to anger their Goddess.
Then there were the Elders.
Many of them felt that their age gave them the right to berate Madara and Izuna for bringing Senju home despite being Blessed.
"They're Senju! Send their heads back to their brother!" hissed Elder Tessho.
"THEY ARE BLESSED!" bellowed Madara.
Elder Tessho sneered "They are not Blessed, they are Senju filth an…" Elder Tessho's tongue burst into flames. His eyes bulged in horror then burst into steam and flames.
In a matter of seconds, Elder Tessho was ash on the floor. His ashes were in the shape of Amaterasu's Sun.
Madara looked at the horrified surviving Elders and raised an eyebrow.
"Any other objections?"
