AN: Hello my lovely readers! As promised the sequel for TTC is here! Sorry I took so long, any how please see my profile for the sequel. It is called A New Leaf. That said, here is a short preview ;D

A New Leaf (Path)

Chapter 1 - Starting Over

The stillness of the night could have been mistaken for peacefulness, but it wasn't. It was far too stagnant, much too heavy to be considered in such a light blissful manner.

Madara stirred on the simple futon he slept on, sweat beading on his forehead. The heaviness of the night weighed directly on his chest and Sakura's absence made it even worse. She'd had to stay late at the hospital to attend to an urgent matter, and so he'd been left to sleep alone. But without her there was no sleep.

The eventide's stillness pressed on, forcing itself down onto Madara. It was getting hard to breathe. He struggled, forcing his eyes to open against the blackness only to be met with more darkness. Not the darkness of an unlit room like he should have seen, but the empty pitch black space of a dream, of another dimension.

Footsteps sounded through the darkness and it slowly parted to reveal a familiar face. Hashirama.
