  “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…”
The funeral dragged on as Madara stared at his son’s coffin. It was a tiny funeral, seeing as none of the Uchiha had other friends or family left. The Senju family was there, as were Tobirama and Hashirama’s parents.
  Izuna was holding Sasuke, sobbing into the younger’s hair. Itachi was just sitting down on the ground, staring at his hands as if there was blood on them – and in his eyes, there probably was.
Madara looked up at the sky. Such a gloomy day for a funeral. It was raining, slight thunder somewhere in the background and occasional flashes of lightning. Fitting for the occasion in his opinion.
Madara walked over to his brother and nephew, pulling them into a tight hug. He couldn’t cry anymore. He just couldn’t. He had already used up all his strength before the funeral. Only tear-trails on his cheeks gave away Madara’s despair.

Once the funeral was over, everyone had gathered together - except for Itachi. Itachi stayed by the freshly dug grave, reaching out and holding the tombstone.
   “We are so very sorry for your loss, dear.” Said Ai -- Hashirama’s mother. Tears fell down her own cheeks, hugging Madara. “It must be very hard for you to have lost your son.”
“K-kaa-san…” Madara sobbed, hugging his mother-figure. “…I… I don't know why it came to this… How it came to this…”
“Madara, dear, your son is in a much better place,” Ai whispered. “He’s not suffering anymore.”
Madara shook his head. “Kaa-san… The autopsy revealed that he had been raped and bashed before his death… He must have been so scared… He suffered such a… h-horrible death… It should have been me…”
“Son, don’t say this,” Kouheu – the Senju brothers’ father – said in a sad tone. “You know that there was nothing you could do. You had tried your hardest to find him, but… the cards of fate just weren’t in your hand… There was no way you could’ve foreseen this, Madara – don’t blame yourself. You have to be strong now – take care of Itachi and Sasuke. They still need you, as does Izuna.”
“Izuna is old enough to look after himself…” Madara mumbled. “Tobirama would never let anything happen to him and Hashirama will take the other two in… They don’t need me… I’m a useless guardian. I never should’ve taken them in in the first place…”
Madara let out a choked sob before he clutched onto his mother-figure. Ai and Kouhei shook their heads; Madara must’ve been so very affected by this – he would’ve never even thought of leaving his brother or nephews behind – no matter what.
Kouhei petted Madara’s head before he left to find his own children. He looked at Hashirama with pleading eyes.
“You’ve got to help Madara-kun, Hashirama…” Kouhei said in a cracking voice. “That boy is suffering deeply. I don’t want you to tell Izuna or the kids about this, but… I suspect Madara is planning on taking his own life. I want you to keep a close eye on him, okay?”
Hashirama nodded and wiped at his tears. “I know… I have been… But he won’t come out of his room… I’m so worried about him…”
Hashirama couldn’t continue speaking. He could only break down into tears. As Tobirama hurried to his brother’s side and pulled the elder into a tight hug, Kouhei and Ai could see just how deeply all of them had been affected by Tobi’s death. Was there anything they could do to help?

Izuna’s eyes opened slowly at the sound of his brother throwing up in the bathroom. It had been a few days since the funeral and Madara had gotten very sick due to the stress. He sighed and snuggled deeper into his blankets, expecting his brother to clean up and then return back to bed.
After ten minutes of silence had passed by, Izuna grew worried – Madara was still in the bathroom. He climbed out of the bed and crept into the adjoining bathroom.
“Mada-nii…?” Izuna called in a soft tone as he pushed the door open.
Izuna screamed when he saw his brother. Madara was lying in the bathtub as blood pooled around him. His heart shattered when he saw the bloodied razorblade in the elder’s hand.
-XX-
Hashirama sighed as he heard Izuna’s scream, but he continued making love to Mito. Izuna did have a habit of screaming out at night so it wasn’t a cause for alarm.
“Mito…” Hashirama moaned as he moved gently inside of his wife.
“Hashirama!”
The door was slammed against the wall as Izuna ran in. Tears dripped down the Uchiha’s face and there was blood all over him. The boy’s eyes were wide and he was quivering.
“Hashirama!” Izuna cried as he dropped by the Senju’s bed. “Mada-nii…! Come quick!”
Hashirama knew that this was an emergency. He rushed about in his hurry to throw some pants on and chase after Izuna – and it seemed that their footfalls and Izuna’s cries were enough to draw everyone out of their rooms.
Hashirama ran into the Uchiha’s bedroom. He noticed the light from the bathroom instantly and ran to the doorway. He gasped and stopped, trying not to cry as he looked at his best friend. He was unaware of Tobirama coming to his side – all he could think was that he had just lost Madara.
“Oh, my God!” Tobirama shouted. By now, everyone else had made their way into the bathroom.
Sasuke screamed when he saw his uncle and ran to Tamiko. He hugged her and tried to hide his face in her stomach. “O-oji-san…!”
“Shh, Sasuke-kun…” Tamiko hugged Sasuke back before she removed him from the room.
Itachi stood by the door. He watched with confusion and… emotional agony… in his eyes.
Hashirama was the first to approach Madara. He reached out towards the younger’s neck in search of a pulse. There was one but it was very weak.
“Mito, go call an ambulance!” Hashirama called over his shoulder. He reached down and lifted his friend out of the tub. The Uchiha let out a weak groan. “It’s okay, Madara-kun… It’s okay… I’ve got you... We’re going to get you some help…”
Hashirama carried Madara out of the bathroom and over to the soft bed. He laid the black-haired male down on the mattress and stroked the sweaty face. He looked at Izuna, heartbroken to see the youngest in hysterics as Tobirama’s arms wrapped securely around the smaller boy. He shook his head – Madara must have been in incredible pain to have done this to his family.
Tobirama took Izuna out of the room and into his own in an attempt to calm him down. Much later, the ambulance arrived.
