“Why…?” Madara whispered as his eyes locked onto Izuna’s grave. “Why did you bring me here?”
Naruto smiled sadly, shrugging. “I thought it might make you remember what you had in Konoha… what you can still have.”
Madara shook his head slowly, his eyes fixed on his brother’s grave. “No… everyone that ever meant anything to me is long gone… I’ve learned to shut my heart off from others and I'm never reopening it to anyone ever again.”
“Why?” Naruto seemed to genuinely be unable to comprehend it – and this only angered Madara.
“Caring for others only brings you pain in the end. I don't need any more pain in my life.”
Naruto frowned. “You’re so full of hate, Madara…”
“…Hn.”
“Why?”
“Why what?” Madara glared suspiciously at the Uzumaki.
“Why do you hate so much?”
Madara didn't reply straight away but Naruto saw the way that he had tensed and the air around him suddenly shifted into one of depression and anger. His facial expression was blank, but Naruto didn't miss the way that his hands had curled into fists so tight blood was dripping down to the grass beneath them.
“What the history books say and what I really went through are two different things.” Madara spat with one hell of a venomous tone. “In fact, the history books make me out to be some kind of monster but all I wanted was to protect Uchiha! I tried to protect them and they kicked me out! Stupid Uchiha, stupid Senju, just – just stupid world!”
Naruto shook his head sadly. He had thought that Sasuke was suffering in extremes, but it seemed that deep down inside of Madara, the older Uchiha was suffering just as much -- if not more.
“Why did you save me?” Madara demanded, his angry onyx eyes fixed on the blonde.
Naruto shrugged. “You could still repent, you know? When this war began I wanted nothing more than to kill you. But… there was just… just something about you that screamed ‘Sasuke’. I… I used to hate so much, too, but… in the end, I found friends, and people who care for me. I-it’s kind of funny, Madara… I used to plan ways on how I could kill everyone in this village… now look at me… I’ve killed to protect those people… This village… means a lot to me--”
“Then why the save the person who tried to destroy it.” Madara snarled, beginning to shake.
“Madara, you demand a lot, don't you?” Naruto smiled, unfazed by Madara’s murderous aura.
“Answer my question.”
“Well… I guess I just didn't want anyone to have to suffer like I’ve had to, o-or feel like Sasuke does… I want to bring peace for everyone. Especially for the people like you.”
Madara looked down at the ground. Then he looked up at the sky. He seemed to hum a little as he thought about something. He eventually became so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t even realise that Naruto had stood up. Madara flinched at the sudden action.
“We should get back to my apartment now.” Naruto said.
“Your… apartment?” Madara raised an eyebrow, not sure what to think of these words.
“Yes. While you were unconscious Granny Tsunade said that I have to look after you. They sealed your chakra and your Mangekyou Sharingan so I think you’ll be pretty harmless.”
Madara snarled at these words. “I’ll cut your throat in your sleep.”
Naruto chuckled, seemingly unfazed. “No, you won’t. For some strange reason, I don't think you will.”
--LINEBREAK--
“Otouto…” Madara whispered as he sat on the balcony of Naruto’s apartment, watching the stars that same night. “The stars are so bright. I wonder if you are among them. You certainly shone as bright as a star.”
Madara sighed as he slumped a little, dangling his legs over the edge of the balcony.
I wonder if Naruto would die if I threw him off of here …” Madara thought to himself before chuckling slightly at the mental image of a flailing Naruto being thrown off of the balcony.
“Madara?”
Madara turned at his name, coming face-to-face with Naruto.
“Are you hungry?”
Madara scowled at the smile on Naruto’s face. All too suspicious… “So what if I am…?”
“If you are then I’ll make you some dinner.” Naruto’s smile didn't disappear -- it grew into a large grin. “You don't have to fear me, Madara. I'm not here to hate you. I'm here to help you.”
“Pfft,” Madara spat. “You’ve probably poisoned my food! Why should I trust you? You’ll be just like the others!”
Naruto frowned. “I-I--”
Madara stood up and stormed back into the apartment. “You were born and raised in the Leaf Village, under the Senju’s teachings. That is reason enough to not trust you.”
With that, Madara walked into the bedroom that Naruto had given him and slammed the door shut. He didn’t see the wounded expression on Naruto’s face but he could have cared less. He threw his face in his hands and slid down the bedroom door.
“Otouto…” Madara whimpered, quivering. “Otouto, I'm so… I'm scared… I wish you were still here with me…”
Madara ignored the quiet knocking on his bedroom door, instead focusing on not crying. This village was a nightmare. He hadn’t felt this depressed since the Senju had left him for dead at the Valley of the End. All of the feelings that he had thought he had destroyed were coming back to him.
“Otouto…” Madara whispered again, standing up and walking to the pile of blankets that was a pitiful excuse for a bed. He fell on them. “Otouto...”
With that, Madara was out like a light.
--LINEBREAK--
“Nii-san?”
Madara looked up at his brother’s voice.
Izuna sat down in the grass beside Madara. “Nii-san, why do you try and protect a clan that hates you?”
Madara shrugged. “I have to. I'm the clan’s leader.”
“But the clan is so horrible to you, nii-san!” Izuna protested. “They hate you, and they hurt you! They hurt you even though you’re their leader -- because they know you can’t hurt them back!”
Madara frowned. “Izuna, one day you will find something you want to protect with all your life. You may then understand. We were born into this clan and so we must therefore give our lives to protect it.”
“But don't you hate the things they do to you?”
Madara nodded. “Of course I do, otouto! But I would rather they do things to me then you.”
Izuna hugged his brother and rested his head on Madara’s lap. “…I'm glad I gave you my eyes, Madara-nii-san…”
Madara stifled a tear at these words and instead took to stroking Izuna’s hair.

A half-hour had passed. They had both fallen asleep but were awoken by their clan, informed of another war with the Senju just minutes away.
Madara nodded and made sure that his blind brother was comfortable in his tent before leaving to fight the Senju clan.
In the middle of a horrible battle, just seconds before Madara and Senju Hashirama clashed, a horrid scream had caught their ears. Izuna.
-XX-
Madara awoke with a gasp. He couldn’t help the tears that trailed down his cheeks. He remembered that day as clear as crystal. His brother was killed that day. Madara wiped the tears away and ran to the bathroom, turning the tap on and washing his face. He couldn’t stop crying.
“Izuna...!” Madara moaned, falling to the ground and curling into a ball. “Izuna…! Why! Why did you leave your tent…! Why! I told you to stay!”
“Madara?”
Naruto was back.
“What?!” Madara snapped, trying to sound threatening but he failed. All he sounded like was the heartbroken man that he was.
“Who’s Izuna? Was he maybe… your lover?”
Madara snarled at these words. “Don't you ever insinuate I defiled my little brother!” he screamed.
Naruto jumped. “I-I'm sorry, Madara -- I didn't know!”
“Just leave me alone!” Madara screamed out. “Go! Fuck off!”
Naruto didn't move from his spot in the bathroom doorway. “Please let me in, Madara…”
“No! You don't deserve to know anything about me! About what I’ve suffered! I bet you can’t understand any of it!”
Naruto shook his head. “One way or another, Madara, I’ll get you to trust me. I’ll show you that not everyone out there is going to hurt you.”
Madara growled. “They are! Everyone hates me so leave me alone! You just want to give me a false sense of safety and then you’ll strike! Just like the Uchiha and Senju did!”
Madara blocked out Naruto’s voice as Naruto tried to reason with Madara.
Naruto eventually gave up and left to go back to bed, leaving Madara all alone once more.
“Otouto?” Madara whispered again. “Otouto, why does he want me to trust him so badly? Does he really hate me that much? You’ve always trusted everyone, otouto… Why can’t I be like you were? I miss you… otouto.”
