First Flame [Video Post]

[The device starts recording and Madara quickly takes notice of it once it starts blinking at him. He looks down at is as if he’s never seen anything like it before. He reaches a hand out and just…pokes it, seeing if it does anything

[JUST THE PERSON HE NEEDS. Maybe.]

...Madara. [It's literally been a year or two since he bothered to cut his hair, so he does look a little more like Izuna at first glance.]

[idkmybffhashi]

I-Izuna...?

[And he will take the bait and think you're Izuna~ Better than instant hostility at least.]

[theloneheir]

[Totally, but--]

No, I'm not the person you think I am. My name is Sasuke.

[idkmybffhashi]

[The words hurt slightly, because he was so sure that you were his dead brother. But, after a good look at Sasuke, Madara can tell the differences between the two.]

It was foolish of me to think that you could be a dead man.

But you are still an Uchiha, correct? I know my damn family's traits anywhere.

[theloneheir]

I'm sorry. You must have been close. [What's this? Sympathy?]

Yes, I am. Do you mind if I ask what was the last thing at that happened prior to your arrival here?

[idkmybffhashi]

[Sympathy? From Sasuke? The world must be ending.]

Yes, we were.

I thought every Uchiha knew the story of their fallen leader. I left the village, when our clan turned their backs on me and the Hokage position was given to that Senju bastard. There was nothing left for me there.

So I left and I swore revenge against them all.

I had been wandering the surrounding countries for a few weeks, bidding my time and plotting my revenge. I was on my way back to the Fire Country when I arrived here.

[theloneheir]

[I know right?]

I see.

I know the story; you told me yourself. Another verson, at least. I just wanted to know from what period, since you don't recognize neither myself nor my brother.

The clan's ignorance caused them their downfall and Konoha's corruption. Nothing's changed in eighty years.

[idkmybffhashi]

Another version of myself? What are you talking about?

The clan's downfall...?

[Now he's interested.]

[theloneheir]

I initially met you last year, long after your fight with the Shodaime Hokage. If you need a better feel of time that's past, Konoha had just gotten its fifth Hokage when I left five years ago.

Yes. [A pause as Sasuke changed the filters.]

[Private]
Konoha ordered them to be wiped out. The Uchiha were tired of being suppressed for long despite being given control of the police force. My father was planning a coup at the time he was killed.

There's three Uchiha left, including you, and one other Sharingan user left.

[idkmybffhashi]

After my fight...? I haven't challenged Hashirama yet. So you're from my future...

[Private]
The Uchiha realize far too late that Konoha would only force them down. The alliance between the Uchiha and the Senju should have never happened.

[theloneheir]

Yes, I am. Where the two of you fought are statues of both of you facing each other. I, ironically enough, fought whom I considered my best friend at the time when I left the village.

[Private]
Perhaps... Perhaps you should have been chosen as Shodaime, instead.

[idkmybffhashi]

Statues of us where we fought? That would be something to see. Was this boy you fought a Senju?

[Private]
Things would have been different if I had been Shodaime. But, the village decided that Hashirama was far more worthy of the title than I was. That I would only lead them to war again.

[theloneheir]

No, he wasn't.

[Private]
Konoha's already gone through a couple of Ninja Wars. I was fortunate enough to have been born after the third one ended.
