Hashirama/izuna au where after killing off madara hsrm slowly succumbs to mokuton induced cancer, where his cells slowly return to their most stable state. Basically he turns into a banyan tree. Izuna is of course, a ghost in this one, and he has returned to the mortal lands to find madara, who hasn't shown up in the pure lands despite being supposedly dead. He chances across the hashibanyan and feels a violent surge of dislike. Mission Finding Madara can wait. Hashirama cannot feel or understand much, (since he's a tree at the moment) but izuna will stay to make SURE that he knows that he's hated.
Basically izuna is a bhoot and hashirama is the tree he's haunting:)
Cant stop thinking about hashirama, tobirama, madara, izuna. Where within these four and combinations of lovers and brothers, tobirama doesnt seem to be able to come out as no.1 to anyone. Totally hc ofc. Dont come for me. I totally thought abt this a lot.
Hashirama/Izuna & Madara/Tobirama. If Izuna and Tobirama got into a fight I feel like Hashirama as a romantic would side with Izuna (in a way where its not obvious siding but something along the lines of stop provoking Izuna, otouto) and Madara ofc total brocon would definitely side with Izuna over tobirama (in like a mundane situation, not life threatening where logic needs to come out on top). This leaves Tobirama feeling like?? My brother is supporting his boyfriend ok fine but my boyfriend is supporting his brother?? This doesn't make sense, how come my brother is supporting his boyfriend but my boyfriend is not supporting me? And how come my boyfriend is supporting his brother but my brother is not supporting me? It's like there's two connections here and neither of them are favourable to Tobirama, he is not a priority to either of them.
Tobirama slowly realising this.
His brother has always had grander and greater ideas plaguing his mind, he doesn't have much time to maintain his relationship with his brother. He's my brother of course we love each other but sometimes when people get used to loving each other they forget to show it. Now that he has a lover in Izuna he spends even less time with Tobirama.
Madara loves him of course, but when it comes to Izuna or Tobirama, Izuna is always going to come out on top. Madara loves his brother so dearly he'd destroy the world for him, it's hard for Tobirama to compete with that, and he doesn't want to compete.
Izuna, i assume they'd become something like friends. Maybe he understands Tobirama more than Hashirama and Madara ever could, both as heirs to their clan and as younger brothers. But Izuna is hot tempered, easy to anger and is always picking fights at the slightest hint of perceived slight. Together with Tobirama's personality where he's sassing him every second sentence they make an explosive pair if they're in the same room. In moments of anger he'd become defensive and use everything at his disposal to hurt tobirama, and in this case it's Hashirama and Madara.
Tobirama would fight at first, he has never gone down easy. If it affects the village or clan business he'd never let any of them get away with any nonsense. But for his personal life i always hc him as having less of a strong attitude towards it. Ie. he'd rather not waste his breath fighting his brother for siding with izuna when izuna is being completely illogical, he'd just turn and walk away.
When i was thinking abt this a few weeks ago I remember thinking particularly of when Tobirama realises even Madara, the man he loves and chose to love, doesn't put him as number one in his heart either. Self-esteem gone crushed to dust and je starts evading Izuna just so he doesn't have to see his brother and lover choosing someone else over him again and again. Made myself cry thinking about it but for the life of me i can't remember how it went 😭😭 this is what happens when you only explore ideas right before you sleep. Anyway thats all i have, might revisit this if i can remember anything later on.
it's HashiMada, HashiIzu, TobiIzu, HashiMito, with a side of TobiMito.........sounds crazy but i promise it all makes sense, its a dangerous liaisons AU!!! 🗣️🗣️
(dont worry if u don't know dangerous liaisons, i think it's actually better that way :p)
Izuna: Did you plan this? For your brother to kill me, so that you can march into the clan to be a saviour and try and convince me of your ideas?
Hashirama: Who goes into war not thinking kill or be killed? I never heal any one of the Uchiha except for this instance. I am just an opportunist. It shouldn't be a new concept to a skilled shinobi.
Corrupt politican Hashirama ! Just he has some nice works and plans going on and is charismatic enough that things go his way and he gets away with it :D just doing it for the love of the game
I need him married to Mito, cheating on her with Madara who hates it but Hashirama has too much dirt on him so he's got his hands tied. He's blackmailing Izuna too :D bc Izuna wouldn't like his brother to know that he and Hashirama spent some time together
