Madara's POV

Age: 12

A mission is a mission.

"I hate this," Izuna whined quietly as we waited outside of the ANBU Black Ops section of the ANBU headquarters. "To work with-... what was his name again?"

I glanced over before staring back at the door, my back straighter than my mental state.

"Codename is Dog. I have yet to know his real name," I answered, sensing barely two chakra signals behind the door. "But apparently his hair colour is hard not to notice in public."

Izuna nodded, looking back at the door with a glare.

"Why do you have to go alone? The old fool knows we work together."

A glare was sent from me once more before Izuna was supposed to disapear.

"Apparently something big is supposed to happen, which means-" I started until I was cut off.

"I know, I know. I must look after Mother and Naruto." He muttered.

"Yes, now scram." I snapped, placing my mask in place as Izuna disapeared.

The door opened as a male in ANBU clothes and mask walked out, pausing at the sight of me. He continued over to me, assessing me as I did the same with him.

He must of been at least nine or so years older than my current body, taller than me and silver hair. He wore the standard ANBU attire with a dog mask.

I stretched my right hand out for him to shake.

He seemed a bit stiff when he shook it, snatching his hnd back like I burned it.

"Pleasure to work with you, Dog." I said, bowing slightly. He seemed annoyed and slightly repulsed by the action.

"Pleasure to work with you as well... Joker." He muttered, unsure of my mask.

I understood since it was not the commen animal mask, instead a sign of foolishness.

I was anything but foolish.

We began walking towards the mission center, passing a few other ANBU who nodded at Dog. He turned a sharp corner, making me pause slightly as he brushed past a certain part of my arm, which had burns all along from a accident with Izuna practicing his medical ninjutsu.

Dog leaped back, disgust practically pouring off his body.. I ignored it as I lead the way instead, the seemingly annoying male behind me.

It angered me slightly.

No male of his position should be rude to their partner, the old war Madara's views returning like a wild fire.

I blanked out of our current walk, mulling over a few urges I felt.

'Hey, Izuna?'

'What?'

'What do you think, Shisui with Itachi or Sasuke with Itachi?'

'For fuck- THEY ARE ALL RELATED!'

'So?'

'THIS IS THE EIGHTH TIME TODAY!'

"Joker." I looked up.

Dog held a piece of paper, shuffling awkwardly. He must not work with females much.

"Yes?"

"Assination of a crime lord in Kiri who gave the Yamanaka clan a fake sacred scroll of their clan history." Dog informed as we left the headquarters, leaping onto a rooftop towards the entrence of the village.

"I hate water." I mumbled under my breath as we left.

---

"IT HAS BEEN SEVEN DAYS!"

Dog seemed to wince as did his tracker dog, watching me quietly as I shook the crime lord infront of me.

"Seven. Days. We have been looking for you, only to find you in a strip club..." I hissed, activating my Mangekyo.

I need to find out if Izuna had his so we could swap eyes.

"Joker-" Dog called out, taking a step foreward.

I snapped my head to face him, causing a slight step back as I showed off my Mangekyo.

"What?" I hissed, feeling the commen female anger rise up.

"Nothing." He said, stepping a step back as the crime lord shook.

I slowly turned my head back to the dead man, sending him in Tsukuyomi. He screamed in terror and pain as I took in the satisfaction.

Dog merely began to turn around and out of the strip club, not used to half naked or fully naked women watching him.

My hand went through the crime lord's heart and tugged it out, walking out after erasing the witnesses minds.

I walked past Dog, who followed silently. Curses from men much older than Dog what age I was came out of my mouth.

'Shit- Madara, something happened.'

I stopped in my path.

'What? What's wrong?'

'The clan was massacred, apart from Sasuke and Itachi, who was the one that killed everyone.'

My knees buckled as I looked to floor, Dog catching me.

"What's wrong?" He asked as rain began to pour, true to the village's name. A small village in Mizu No Kuni that rained as much as possible.

"The clan, shit, the clan." I whispered, old Madara appearing.

My clan, my mother, my friends- well, people I recornised.

Izuna was safe, thank the heavens.

"What, what about your clan?"

I looked in Dog's eyes, tears falling with the rain.

I did not understand why I was suddenly so emotional, maybe the love I had for my current mother. I always cared for my clan, as a previous clan leader, it was my job.

"Someone killed them all." I hissed, dropping my head on Dog's shoulder.

This body needed comfort, even if my mind didn't want it. Dog froze as he just held me, waiting for me to finish.

'There was someone else who killed them.'

'Who?'

'Obito.'

That- that little shit.

Where in our plan did we kill the Uchiha clan!?

My body shook as sobs left me, Dog lifting me easily as he began teleporting long distances. Just to help the load, I gave him quite a bit of my chakra.

I was in a state of shock, I knew it. Sobs just kept leaving me as I thought about how my Mother must have been terrified, killed by someone she knew and cared for or by someone who must have been seen as a weakling of the clan.

She must have been scared, cold and lonely.

Wails began to leave me, more tears dropping.

'STOP IT! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, MAN!' Inner Madara yelled, urging me to get a bloody grip.

But I didn't listen, wails and cries of sorrow leaving me.

Rain dropped like metal as Dog seemed to stumble around for shelter, a cave nearby as he ducked in there.

ANBU held wood in a pocket in case of an emergency fire needed, which Dog set up as I was still sobbing like a baby.

He came and sat next to me, ignoring our damp clothes.

He didn't seem to know how to comfort me so he just sat there.

Slowly, the sobs slowed down, allowing me to get a hold of myself. Shame washed over me as I realised that I sobbed like a child in front of a stranger.

"S-So," I started, a few hiccups in my voice. "See many hot girls while holding a crying child?"

Dog stayed quiet as he wrapped an arm around me, helping warm me up.

I thought nothing of it as it was was to share and create body heat in the cold.

"What was that mental break down about then?" He asked, staring at the fire.

Our masks were still in place, so I peeled mine off.

Dog seemed shocked to see, in his eyes, a young girl as an ANBU. He took that as a signal to take his off, hesitantly taking his off.

I ran my eyes over his clothed face, a scar over a shut left eye and another tired black eye. He had a sharp jaw line, that made me flush quickly before shaking it off.

'Stupid female hormones after crying my eyes out.'

"Me and my brother, Harlequin is not his real name, share a mental link. He just informed me our clan was massacred by..." I trailed off, deciding to not mention Obito. "Itachi Uchiha."

Dog nodded slightly.

"I was no prepared for it after just ruining a man's mental state and killing him, so my body acted like a child." I muttered, shame appearing back like a plague.

"And you cried." Dog muttered, realising.

I nodded, leaning back on the cave walls. It was silent for a minute before Dog opened his probably handsome mouth.

'Wait- what the fuck?'

"My real name..." He trailed off. "I am Kakashi Hatake."

I nodded once more, patting his nearby knee.

"Midaro Uchiha."

"Heir to the Fire Breather Uchiha line." Kakashi said in realisation.

"Heir to the Hatake clan." I snapped, glaring slightly.

'Please tell me that Father of ours died as well.'

'As dead as Hashirama.'

A sigh of relief left me as Kakashi sent me a strange look.

"Brother told me that our father died," I explained, as it began to get dark. "Always hated him."

A sense of tiredness overtook me, Kakashi seeing it.

"You can sleep, I'll take first watch."

"Thank you." I whispered in relief, sliding down to the floor and using my arm as a pillow.

I drifted off to a dark place, heat covering me.
