@izunaweek

Super huge thank you to my very very lovely @damien-wolfram-art for not only helping me finally get this comic done, but also writing extra scenes, fleshing it out so much more and making better context for it. You should totally go check out his piece right over here!!

Speaking of extras, you should totally not only check out what he wrote but take a little looksie below the cut 👀

okay so I want to talk more about this comic and it feels more appropriate to ramble below the cut.

I started the roughest of drafts for this back in 2022 and just.. left it - as many artists do with their WIPs. But this one is a small part of this massive Naruto dystopian AU that @damien-wolfram-art have worked on for years now. We have... SO MUCH CONTENT FOR IT. like... really. we do. It's just about making and putting it out there and honestly, I can't wait to start making more of it. not only that, but I really want to like whole-ass color this one at some point. I think it deserves it. I just love this AU so much. okay. ramble over. thank you for reading this if you have. here's a gift for reading 🌸

oh also happy birthday to obito too. i love him as well.

How the prompts works:

Every day of our Izuna Week 2024 has a set of three alternative prompts, one from each of our three prompt categories, which are:

Naruto-specific: what it says on the tin. Here you’ll find techniques and concepts specific to the Naruto-verse as prompts.

Trope: all those good old fandom tropes we love (or hate). Can be interpreted in very wide ways.

AUs: there are infinite alternative universes, so we decided to differentiate these a bit further. The Izuna Week 2024 will have two prompts each from Canon Divergence AUs, Franchise AUs, and General AUs!

ASoIaF AU: A Song of Ice and Fire, epic fantasy novel series by George RR Martin. (Adapted onscreen as Game of Thrones and more recently, House of the Dragon)

MXTX AU: Chinese author well-known for her danmei/BL novels. This AU prompts refers to any of her novels such as Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation) or Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing).

The final day, Izuna’s birthday on February 10, is a Free Day! It's also of course Izuna's Birthday.

You’re very welcome to interpret any prompt however literally or loosely you want.

You can use one, two, or all of the prompts of a given day.

Kotoamatsukami is not an easy blessing to have had bestowed upon him. Not something to waste in petty combat, not even something flashy. Instead it requires careful consideration. The solution is easy, in the end. Because there’s only a single person Izuna ever has to use this sacred technique on.  So when the next battle against their enemies comes, Izuna grits his teeth, Sharingan catching what must be a new jutsu from his most hated foe….and does nothing. And when, predictably, Senju Hashirama offers to heal him—Izuna lets his eyes flutter almost shut. A glance is enough for Kotoamatsukami.

PROLOGUE

Everything was a blur. One moment there was pain. Next, there was weightlessness and a warm pleasant light. Next, the sudden jolt of weight returning and the feeling of cloth on skin woke him. It was dim in the room and there was a howling wind outside. There was someone there. His white fluffy hair and pale skin were a stark contrast to his shadowy wedding Kimono.

He was busy fussing over his newest project. His voice was deep and quick when he mumbled something incoherent to himself. He rushed over and began to adjust something– a tie.

“What’s going on?” Asked the man wearing it.

“No time. You’re going to a wedding. Can you stand?”

“Ghosts Can’t Dance at Weddings”

Izuna Uchiha was a very busy man most days. His work often left him rushing from one side of his village to the other and back, but despite this, he always made time for his family. “Hey everyone! Sorry I’m late today!” He puffed apologetically as he hurried up to the rooftop Shinto shrine.

In his hands he carried a heavy bag that made his smaller frame sway from side to side as he moved with it. Nearing the altar, he hefted the bag down and began to fuss with its contents. “I know I’ve taken over as temporary leader before, but a little warning on just how MUCH work it is when I’m doing it full-time would’ve been nice! ~” He teased, only half taking in the names on the dishes that held five memorial candles.

Pulling out a large cauldron of rice, he spoke earnestly and softly, “It is a special day for me, so I hope you’ll all forgive me for bringing only rice.” It was only when the man dressed in a dark freshly pressed wedding kimono knelt down and spread five bowls out before himself, that he looked at each name on the memorial altar. His heart suddenly felt as if it were clasped in the strong armored grip of his clan’s fabled Susanoo. “I wish you all could be here, but ghosts can’t really dance at weddings,” he whispered somberly.

Shifting his tone to sound more cheerful, he first addressed his father, Tajima Uchiha. He was the clan leader who died over fifteen years prior while protecting his village from the attack of a massive and unruly nine-tailed fox. “Father, you’d be proud to know that I’ve kept all the Uchiha of our village happy and safe!” Izuna told him, lighting his candle with the smallest of flames produced by his fingertips and filling a bowl of rice. Then, he gently pushed it into place. 

He sat up a little straighter and his gaze shifted to the four others at the altar. His eyes began to sting as he methodically lit the candles and served the first three– the three that his clan’s traditions had deemed unfit for life at the end of his own blade. “Oh, and brothers, I’ve still been making sure to train as often as I can. I wouldn’t want all of our hard work when we were young or the gifts you gave me to be for naught.”

Feigning pride, Izuna continued, pushing the three bowls into place. “Many of the other Uchiha are actually saying that my eyes are the strongest in the entire village! And-” His sweet voice cracked as he quickly whisked a tear away from his right eye. His brothers would’ve hated to see him cry. “I owe it to all of you!” he concluded. Then, his eyes finally fell upon the memorial of the last of his brothers to leave him.

“Ah, only one more left,” he started quietly, prepping the last bowl. “It still feels odd to bring food for you here…”

“Madara…”

Izuna’s thoughts were swiftly steered in the direction of those fateful days when his life changed, and his last surviving brother was snatched away from him. Although Madara was undoubtedly the strongest in their clan and the clan leader at the time, his condition had been rapidly declining. Overuse of his sharingan eyes to assist their long-time allies, the Senju, in their hunt for their lost Nine Tails jinchuriki host had caused his vision to deteriorate such that he saw no choice but to abandon his village and to make one last appeal to the man he thought of as his soulmate for nearly thirty years. 

The Uchiha had a concept of love so powerful that it transcended reason. This type of love was called the Uchiha’s “Flame”. Madara had felt such a Flame with the leader of The Leaf Village, Hashirama Senju. That man had promised Madara his heart decades ago, but fate had twisted their desires. This left Madara desperate and wanting. With his hope all but diminished, Madara decided to give his Flame one more chance to spark to life, so he approached Hashirama in the same sporting way that they had always communicated– with combat. But this time, Madara was unaffiliated with The Uchiha Village and there would be more at stake than just their feelings.

Like Izuna, Madara knew his chances were slim. "There is a high likelihood that I won’t return from this fight. In that case, I’d like it if you’d take over as Village Leader,” Izuna remembered his older brother saying. It tore him up inside to hear him so broken. Part of him wished he had begged him not to go, but he understood that Madara needed to follow his heart even if it led him to his grave.

He’d plenty of time to consider the outcome. Madara had given him ample warning, but in spite of that, the news was devastating. When Hashirama came to deliver it along with the scroll containing Madara’s body, his eyes were cast in the shadow of his brows and his long choppy brown hair looked limper than ever. Izuna had never wanted to destroy someone more, but Madara’s desire for Izuna to keep the peace between their two villages made Izuna hold himself back– no matter how it pained him. He would never want to dishonor his brother’s decision to depart his own village in order to keep it safe from his selfish actions.

“Madara is…” Izuna recalled the shameful murderous idiot from The Leaf Village's pitiful unfinished attempt at breaking the news and his blood boiled. The monkey-faced Senju’s inability to own up to his actions made his teeth clench just as they did that day. 

The wind picked up and blew out Madara’s candle. The chill brought Izuna back into the moment. The tears in his eyes had just about reached the point where they were about to well over. “It has been some time since I received the news, but still…” The first few tears hit the concrete of the roof below him as he shakily picked up the last bowl of rice. “Maybe I’m a little selfish for wanting this,” he whispered. “I am a “Dirty Brother Killer” after all…” He began to tremble. “So, what kindness should I receive in return for my past actions?” He swallowed hard. “But I-I…”

He could hold back no longer. “I REALLY WISH YOU MADE IT BACK!” He wailed, shaking his head from side to side so that the wind caught in his long dark hair and his tears broke free from his face.

“It looks like your wish might have come true,” spoke a familiar deep and sultry voice.

Behind Izuna was someone he could only describe as a ghost. His skin was a faded gray, his sclerae were dark, and his face was cracked in a few places. His presence and Uchiha blue mane were unmistakable though. He was wearing a suit adorned with a branched metal broach in the shape of the Senju clan’s sigil. It was Madara Uchiha– the very brother he was mourning. He stood there with crossed arms and a soft smile.

EPILOGUE

Some distance away from the memorial site, in a soot-colored wedding kimono of his own, stood Tobirama Senju. His red eyes were more sunken in than usual and his hands were clapped together; he was sweating. “It feels like the formula is holding. I just hope I can keep it up,” said the white-haired man to his brother, Hashirama, who stood beside him in a patchwork suit. His olive skin that normally set him apart from his albino brother was looking a little pale. He couldn’t help but feel as if the wind had suddenly become uncharacteristically cold for the season as it blew from behind them through the torii gate he’d crafted for the wedding. His brows furrowed with nervous discomfort.

@anannua I am alive! ~ @flawlessstriker and I worked super hard to get this part of this wonderful AU to where it is and we're super proud of it. Perhaps one day it will be in ~COLOR! ~

Entry for @izunaweek

Day 2 - February 5: Rinne Tensei • Hunt • ASoIaF AU

This story is for @junsui4089, @dominaaurum and @kurakura0-0

@junsui4089 for incepting me with the idea of Izuna having weasel summons, @dominaaurum for telling me that a weasel taking down prey larger than them is doing a war dance, and @kurakura0-0 for sending me a video of a least weasel hunting and hoarding mice.

@kurakura0-0 then said the magic words:

Hmmmm would there be anything that Izuna would like to horde?

And from that question, this story was born.

Thank you so much, all of you!

Hikaku winces as Kikiyo levels an accusing stare at him.

She gestures at Izuna-sama's back emphatically, and Hikaku raises his hands to the heavens in reply. Izuna-sama may be his best friend, but he has no idea what they're doing either. And if she expects him to exercise any control over their clan heir, she is very much mistaken.

Not even Madara-sama can do that.

They may be heading towards the battlefield to fight, but none of them know why. It's not over water rights, or fields, or trade routes or missions. It's not even about vengeance and the shed blood of the clan.

Frankly, no one except for Izuna-sama and Madara-sama really fight anymore, most of the Uchiha merely defending themselves and waiting for the inevitable call to retreat as soon as Izuna-sama has stolen his latest prize.

This entire situation is in the laps of the gods and he washes his hands of it. He communicates as much to her with silent swearing, and has the pleasure of seeing her roll her eyes.

She spent a week in company with Izuna-sama's rival once while they were both at the daimyo's court - just one week! - and came back with the habit. It's amazing how fast it's spread through the clan. Hikaku is just waiting for the day when he will catch Izuna-sama doing it and then he will laugh and laugh.

Still, though he is safe from observation by Madara-sama as he follows in the man's footsteps, it won't do to be delayed simply because he was sharing his frustrations with Kikiyo.

He quickens his footsteps.

He does want to see Izuna-sama's fight after all.

Read the rest on AO3.

The Hunt

Izuna has never witnessed a hunt before but he knows what to expect and what’s expected of him. With the other omegas he turns towards the Senju forest and crouches down, his body ready to spring into action. They’ll have a ten second start.
