This is a Madara Uchiha scenario written by me from awhile ago. All characters are fictionalized by me except for the canon characters that belong to the Naruto Universe ;) enjoy!
”And what of the affairs with the Hyuuga? Don’t you think they are a bit demanding?” Fujita complained with that haughty voice once again to the Uchiha chieftain. Finding everything and everyone dubious, he was never settled with any clan that sought stability in the village. Madara was tired of his antics, but somewhat appreciated it in the same time for his loyalty to him and the clan.
“I will have to discuss it with Hashirama, Fujita. Stop pestering me- I have already countless of other matters to attend to.”
Fujita scoffed, looking as sour as ever while murmuring words Madara could not hear and didn’t care to hear either. He regretted the second he decided to bring him for a stroll around the compound.
People were gathered together. Men were talking to their peers about politics and women were shopping for jewelry presumably for their daughters’ engagements. Children were actually playing around, and Madara never felt more satisfied to see such scenery. It comforted him to see what he had missed in his early days. There hadn’t been a funeral in awhile, there was no mourning of a family nearby and happiness between those young children spread like a virus that was contently embraced. He was proud of what he and Hashirama made of their innocent dream dreamt in hopeless ages.
Few people, mostly widows and women with martyred sons, who did not want to participate in the war had to flee from their clans and move up the forests to the plain fields. They could not bare to see one more loved one die in an unwinning war, and out of frustration had to weasel their way out of the reach of the authorative leader of their clan. Those were looked down upon, seen as people with no honor and no dignity, only cowards. But as soon as the news of a village, a sanctity being built had gotten to them, glad tidings lit up their forsaken gleam. They could not hesitate to return to their people and live among them safe from bloodshed and war. Every few days, folk or family found their way back to their new home to live in prosperity and happiness led by the Lord Hokage Hashirama.
As Madara and his companion walked through the streets, a coach approached the entre of the clan’s compound. Fujita being the bothering observer that he is, halted and brought his fingers to his mouth as to look curious. Madara noticed him halting his steps and raised his eyebrow at him.
“Do you see what I’m seeing, My Lord?” He whispered.
Madara followed his gaze and saw the approaching coach. It was in a bad shape, almost tolling over with all the luggage behind. The squeaky wheels were not that far behind as squeaky as Fujita’s voice, he told himself. But nothing seemed out of the ordinary. If they managed to cross the village entre safely, they were regular refugees. Crossing his arms, Madara answered, “What of it?”
Fujita was still eyeing it, “These people are like insects. From whatever hole they come from they find a new home to live in and benefit us nothing!”
Madara was not pleased to hear that. He and Hashirama had discussed it one day. It was necessary for these people to come back and live in their new homes. Usually, these poor people fled because of their devastating situation with no protector or provider. It was important that people reunited.
The coach finally entered the clan territory, and parked in the center, where there were houses nearby and bazaars open, selling street food and such. The coach door opened, and out came an short old woman, murmuring a few mutable sentences as she stepped out of the coach.
“Oy! Too lazy to help an old woman out of your car, now?! Young people these days.” She yelled at the driver, who seemed to have endured quite a lot from this woman the whole ride.
Madara looked on. He knew this woman, but his memory was slowed due to his work. He tried to remember, until it finally clicked. It was Lady Takae, the old woman who used to cook for him and his friends as children. He loved her food, but has always detested her for her nastiness- the old cow. When he finally recognized her, a part of him was nostalgic and was comforted to see her.
After giving the driver a handful of insults, she turned around to the two who looked on. Her eyes quickly fixated on Madara, and stomped towards him with the nastiest face ever.
“You’re Tajima’s son, aren’t you?” Her short figure scuritinized him from head to toe, her face grimacing. “Hmm. Still looking as pea-headed as you were a child.”
Madara gave her the same nasty face, “And you are as more a witch as ever, you old hag!” He retorted in satisfaction.
She glared back at him, “You little nincompoop! Learn how to talk to your elders. I would have expected a warmer welcome than this.” And stuck her tongue out in disgust watching him. As much as a plague this woman was, he couldn’t deny that he missed the insults.
She turned her head back to the coach, “Kasai!” She called. As soon as he heard that name, Madara froze. He had completely forgot about that name and the past it told. Yes, he remembered her very well. His childhood friend. It was long ago that he had stood in front of Kasai Uchiha as she wept and beat his chest, cursing, condemning him and blaming him for the death of her younger brother. As the new leader, she had believed he had the power to stop the madness of war that caused so much bloodshed and gave so many lives from the old ones to the children. Her brother was just that, a child. A victim. He had never felt so guilty. Considering that she was an orphan, he felt shame. She left the next day with her grandmother.
He whispered her name in shock. The last time he had seen Kasai when they were young, she looked ao fragile and as pale as a ghost. Now that years have gone by, he was anxious to know what had happened to her.
“Yes, Grandmother?” A soft and melodious voice came from inside the coach. And Outside she stepped. Everything froze and the market went mute. Everyone stared at the woman in front of them. Madara could feel Fujita’s whole hand cover his mouth with his eyes wide open. Madara himself couldn’t believe what he saw. He saw a woman- no, a swan standing in front of him. Her long black hair reached the end of her rear and moved gracefully with the wind along with her silky sewn raspberry-colored dress, never made before. Her black Uchiha eyes stared right back at him, falling into shock herself. She had grown from an adolescent to a full woman, spellbinding and bewitching everyone in the vicinity. Madara had never seen such beauty before. As someone who got attention himself from very attractive bachlorettes in the village, never had he encountered someone as ethereal as the creature in front of him, and the people who witnessed her could agree with him on this. He was completely blown.
Her eyes looked around at the people who stared. Some women were whispering to each other while looking at her, some out of astonishment and some out of envy. Some men were smirking, others were almost ready to beg on their knees to their mothers for her hand. The sight kind of frightened her a bit, and went to stand behind her grandmother, who seemed to enjoy the attention her granddaughter received and smiled scornfully at them.
Madara couldn’t take his eyes off of her even if he wanted to. She was completly another person. The way her long lashes fluttered shyfully away from his gaze made an insufferable tingle inside him which he cursed at inwardly. She bit her rosy lips, full of modesty and femininity and tended to what her grandmother asked her to do as they stepped into their new house, leaving Madara with an inexplainable feeling.
He had felt something peculiar when he looked into her eyes, and he knew she had felt the same feeling. Something sparked, as much as he hated to admit. Whatever that feeling was, he had planned to bury it somewhere inside him and never acknowledge it again. It felt dangerous to be as sentimental, he felt like a stranger in his own mind with this emotion. Madara hoped to the gods that this would not take over his thoughts as he worked. But he knew damn well it will.
Was a little bit short for my liking, since I really like long scenarios, but I’m very satisfied with how it turned out! Lemme know what you think!
