Izuna Uchiha [Part 06]
Now that university was behind him, the need to return home immediately hit him. Maybe he should have gave Madara some pre-warning that he would be on his way back, thinking that he would surprise him. It wasn't his brother that would get the surprise but Izuna instead, coming back to his brother... and one other person. Somewhere in the four years that he had been gone, his brother had picked himself up a child... a teenage child to be more precise. A very frail looking and highly timid teenager. After doing the maths which was easily counted on his fingers, Madara would have been ten - eleven years old when his child was born so an offspring wasn't going to fit into that timeline. Looking back, Izuna wished he was sitting down when the information overload got dumped on him. The kid's name was Itachi, Itachi Uchiha. While this didn't seem exactly relevant except they carries the same last name, then came bombshell number two. Their promiscuous father was active in his younger days as much as he was in his older ones when he picked up their much younger mother, so as a result, they had a half brother. Okay, so he had a nephew that was in America, a long lost half brother and somehow Madara neglected to tell him this while he was away? And if that wasn't enough, the half brother, Fugaku Uchiha and his wife Mikoto are dead. Itachi was originally in this country illegally after being brought in for the purpose of child labor which set off so many legal bells in his newly learned head. Oh also, the nephew was technically his son. Well, Madara's son. Which means he was just a uncle again but not to a mysterious brother but his old full blood related one. In other words, his older brother had adopted him. Now lets add surprise three and four at there to round it off. Madara had picked up himself up a play toy named Hashirama Senju and he had also sold their father's company which ultimately lead him to start up a adult movie company.

Boy, had he missed out on a lot of things. It was only four years.

So when Madara asked him to work with him at his company, there was real thought needed to be put into it. When he had finished going over all the pros and cons of it all, Izuna agreed that he would do it but was expecting to be put into a salary position as a common worker would be. He wasn't at all expecting to be appointed the Chief
Legal Officer. To get that position, you had to have many, many years of experience as well as other skills which being fresh out of studies, Izuna did not have. He did have one thing going for him and that was the dire need to protect his family and anything involving it, so he accepted the position.

He had no idea what the previous legal team were doing -- if there was any at all, but Izuna was swapped with instant paperwork, legal threats, court cases, everything needed to throw him into the deep end to see if he would sink or swim. Going from theory and sitting in on trials so quickly threw him around, going in head first tackling everything he could to show his brother that he hadn't made a mistake in choosing him for such a high position. He trusted that Madara wouldn't have said yes to it if he didn't believe he was qualified enough, only a short matter of time before he was well on top of everything but it was taking a toll on him.

Between juggling company affairs and more personal ones including Madara's uncanny knack of being photographed with his pants around his ankles, Izuna was rushed off his feet. Most of the nights he would spend at the office sleeping. Once he slept there for a month straight after the new influx of employees and most of them weren't even legal which had him out and about, digging up pasts and presents to be 100% sure that it would not come back to damage them in the future. Without a social outlet of friends to go out and have a few drinks to unwind, there was no way to release the tension that continued to build. It was good to know that his brother still was looking out for him, spotting the problem before it got too bad, telling him to take the break. Adolescent troubles to confessions of boarding school, hiding secrets from the family and receiving a new one, Izuna hadn't go the chance just to relax and just enjoy life for a while.
