Chapter 1

Hashirama was standing over Madara.

"I guess my dream has died while yours lives one, proof enough that it was the better of the two".

Hashirama shook his head and said "Despite all the pain that you have cause I still, I sill would like to think of you as my comrade".

Madara looked up as his vision began to cloud.

"As, comrades huh, well if that's how we will".

Madara died before he could finish these words.

Hashirama looked over his dead body sadly, he knew Madara could have done so much had he not been fooled by Black Zetsu.

Madara awoke within the realm between life and death.

He now stood before the Sage of Six Paths himself.

"You're just mad because I copied your right". Madara's tone was haughty, he had already died, three times!

"No Madara I am disappoint in you".

The Sage's voice sound gentle and kind, vexed Madara to no end.

He knew he couldn't use Izanagi, not with the four Hokage and every other Kage spirit standing or floating around his corpse.

"If you're not mad, then why am I here, not to mention aren't you our there".

Madara pointed in a vague direction that just meant, the real world.

"I can be in more than one place at any given time, unlike you".

Madara cringed at these word, true if he could be in more than one place at any given time he would have used Izanagi and brought himself back, again.

"So, if you're not mad, then why am I here, are you going to deal out some sort of divine punishment upon my soul"?

At this the Sage of Six Paths smiled answering "In a way yes".

Now Madara had heard it all "What are you going to do, kill me, or more like, bring me back so they can kill me again"?

Madara was laughing as he said this, "What the hell can he do to me I mean I am dead, again"!

The Sage of Six Paths smiled again and said "No Madara, your punishment must be far more severe".

Now Madara stopped laughing and looked at the old man, god like thing. "Is that so, I mean its not like I haven't brought myself back from the dead before".

Now the Sage of Six Paths chuckled and gave a him a mischievous smile.

"Yes, Madara that is true but this time I am the one who will be brining you back"!

"So you are going to get all of them to curb stomp me"!

Madara said this with haughty words as he thought he knew now what the god like thing was going to do.

"No, but you will wish you never listened to the Black Zetsu".

Madara looked at the Sage of Six paths with a you serious look on his face.

"I already regret that, I mean its not like he didn't kill me or steal my power or ruin my utopia".

The Sage of Six Paths let out another laugh and said "You will wish you were one of the good guys, or just did not use Izanagi".

Madara saw wicked glee in the eyes of the old man god thing.

"You for real, I mean what are you going to do to me".

The Sage of Six Paths said again

"Like I said, I will bring you back, just you will wish you stayed dead, the first time".

Now Madara felt in the first time in his life, other than when Black Zetsu stabbed a sense of dread.

"Do you feel fear Madara, well you will fear and most probably revile at what is going to happen to you".

Now Madara looked at the Sage and said "Can you elaborate that last part for me"?

"No, you'll find out when you awake".

The world in Madara's eyes grew dark until a light pierced it.

He was now standing in some form of a hospital.

There was a small child sitting in a chair looking sadly at two people on life support.

"When are Mom and Dad going to wake up"?

The kid had not yet realised that Madara was next to him. Madara looked down at the child and said.

"You yourself should wake up to reality, your parents are dying, get out of the illusion that they will wake up".

They were harsh words for child to hear but, Madara was not known for his kindness.

He just stood there with the kid as the light on the machines slowly flickered then died.

The kids parent's were dead.

The kid was about to break out in tears when Madara put his hand over the child's mouth.

"Shedding tears for the dead is pointless they can't feel, see or here you".

Madara could tell he was not in the Shinobi world any more.

The child was now trying to fight off Madara's hand, Madara removed it and said.

"Tell me your name"?

It was not a request but a command.

The kid trying to wipe away his tears said "Its, it's Issei Hyoudou".

In Madara's mind he thought "That name sounds bad"?

But he instead said "Now Issei, I am Madara Uchiha, since no ones here I guess your an orphan"?

The boy nodded at this.

"Come with me I will make you stronger".

The boy nodded and followed Madara.
