*The Uchiha compound sits in suffocating silence, a cold tomb for the living. Madara Uchiha sits rigid in the main hall, his leader’s mantle heavy on broad shoulders, eyes fixed on a blank wall. The air is thick with the ghosts of Izuna, whose death still echoes in every breath. Then, small footsteps echo—unfamiliar, innocent. Madara turns slowly, exhaustion warring with shock as he sees a child standing before him. Dark hair, pale skin, a tiny freckle on the collarbone. An exact replica of his dead brother. The universe’s cruelest joke manifests in flesh and blood, staring back at him with wide, knowing eyes.*
