Time Heals All Wounds
Chapter 1
Meeting Madara and Izuna
Sakura lay dying in a cell at the end of the fourth ninja war. The Kages had lost. The only ones who were left alive were taken prisoner. It was only a matter of time before Madara extracted Naruto's beast and cast his illusion.
Unbeknownst to Sakura, Naruto the number one, hyperactive, knucklehead ninja, had a plan. He, like Madara, had mastered time and space jutsu and he was about to put his new move to work. Madara was intending to be cruel when he left Naruto and Sakura to say goodbye in the cells right next to each other. This was just what Naruto had wanted. Madara had no way of knowing he was intending to use all of the fox's chakra to send Sakura back in time. He certainly wasn't going down without a fight.
"Sakura-chan, I'm going to send you to Madara's time." Naruto declared, though he doubted Sakura would believe him.
"Naruto, even if you could do that it would do no good. I would just die in a different time. Please let me stay with the last member of my team in my final hour." Sakura pleaded. Hmm, it would appear getting her to believe wasn't the problem.
Naruto went on to explain. "Sakura-chan it's alright! If I send you back in time this war will not have happened yet! You won't even be in pain. Please Sakura-chan I need you to go back to Madara's time and prevent this from happening! Please do this as the current Naruto's last request." Naruto threw her off guard with that one and, wasting no time, performed the hand signs to send her back to the past before Madara became so powerful. He sent her back to before he got the mangekyou to when he was an innocent child. However Naruto passed out from exhaustion before the last hand sign was performed. He had no way of knowing how that would affect the jutsu.
-At the Uchiha base over 80 years ago-
A 6 year old Izuna Uchiha made his way through the forests of the Uchiha base of operations. He knew not to wander far in case a Senju was lurking nearby. He wanted to pick some medicinal herbs for his father who had returned wounded from the battlefield. That's when the young boy saw a strange light. Could it be the Senju? Izuna thought rather horrified. If it was he had to warn his clan, but what if it wasn't? He would be responsible for whatever happened to the unfortunate person. He decided he had to tell his brother Madara. He would know what to do! As Izuna rushed back to his household a 6 year old Sakura slept peacefully, remembering a time where she and her friends were happy.
Izuna was making his way back to the base, concentrating on not being followed. He was so focused on a nonexistent pursuer that he ran head-on into the boy who would become the strongest Uchiha in history, or in other words his 9 year old brother, Madara.
"Whoa, little brother, you should slow down. You might run into worse than me if you don't. What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost." Madara observed.
"Madara, there was a strange light in the woods and I thought it could be a Senju, but if it isn't and we hurt them, we could make more enemies! That's the last thing the Uchiha needs with the Senju on the rise! What should we do brother?" Izuna replied.
Madara stiffened. Normally he would just say to kill the person, but he did not want Izuna to think him heartless. Instead he would investigate, and then he would kill them. Little did Madara know, what awaited him was the one person he could never harm.
Izuna led Madara back to "The spot" as he so eloquently put it. Neither could have ever been prepared for who awaited them. When Izuna first caught a glimpse of the clearing where the light had been, he gasped. There was a young girl just sleeping there. However that was not the reason he suddenly needed more air. The reason was that she was the prettiest little girl he had ever seen! She was so adorable he kind of wanted to squeeze her really badly! She looked just like a princess sleeping there with that soft and peaceful smile. It was a smile that his brother and he had never known. He turned to his older brother only to find Madara smirking at him.
"You were staring at her." Madara accused while laughing slightly.
"I was not!" Izuna denied, embarrassed to be caught. He would never live it down.
"You know, she looks a lot like a sleeping princess. Why not go give her a kiss to wake her prince charming?" Madara teased.
Izuna was angry now. He continued to deny the affections he felt moments before. After all, emotions were a ninja's worst enemy and greatest weakness. "I won't do it and if you want to wake her so badly then you kiss her!" Izuna growled.
"That works for me." Madara declared nonchalantly immediately shocking poor Izuna. In all honesty Izuna was rather afraid to touch her for fear that she would break; she looked so delicate! Apparently Madara had no such fear. Of course not, an angry Izuna mused. He's too stupid to be scared! Yet Izuna could not gather the courage to challenge his brother as he made his way over to the delicate girl.
He didn't show it, but Madara had no intention of kissing a girl he considered a child, and she was compared to him. She couldn't be older than his little brother he'd say. Even so, Madara walked over to the girl. He knelt down motioning as if to cup her cheek but instead he flicked her nose, effectively waking her.
"Are you awake now?" He snickered. Oh boy, he had done it now. Izuna was gaping like a fish out of water. It was hilarious! He couldn't even look at the girl he had flicked until she cupped his cheek and turned him to face her.
"Yes I am kind sir." Sakura faked a swoon, even though she was shocked at her childish voice. "Please allow me to repay you for your deed." With that she slowly moved as if to kiss him! Izuna felt something in his chest break. It was painful to watch his princess look at Madara like that. Madara's eyes widened and was about to push her away when she smiled again, catching him off guard. She then slowly reached up with her other hand, held him in place, and quickly bit his nose. Now that was funny!
With that one little prank, Izuna and Madara knew that they had fallen… hard.
