Summary
The day after Uchiha Madara forsakes Senju Hashirama's friendship, his mother dies and it's his fault.
His first sharingan memory recalls with perfect clarity Senju Tobirama's face, his fox eyes and their pale red irises, dark in the shadow of his face guard but unmistakable. That was the day they realised Senju Tobirama is a Blessed Sacrifice, sacred to the Uchiha. It follows from the gods—Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi fell from the blessed eyes and left weakness behind so that the Uchiha might have strength. Out of respect for the origin of their strength, no Uchiha may raise a hand to a Sacrifice, second heir to the enemy or not.
No Uchiha.
(Mythology-religion freeform AU where Tobirama is considered blessed by the gods by the Uchiha, but they still need to deal with him as an enemy, so Izuna is ritually disowned from the Uchiha and given a special role responsible for protecting/ fighting him.)

Summary
To die for the Uchiha is an honor.
"I hit him," Izuna confesses instead, because the words have been sitting swollen in his throat since it happened. "The Sacrifice."
"Good," Madara says.
Izuna reels back.
Madara scowls. "Good," he repeats. "Hit him again. Hit him more. That's what you're supposed to do. Someone has to, that's the whole point, remember?"
"But he's—"
"He's an enemy, and he was trying to kill you," Madara says firmly. "You're supposed to fight him, because the rest of us can't."
(Izuna-centric fic. Mythology-religion freeform AU where Tobirama is considered blessed by the gods by the Uchiha, but they still need to deal with him as an enemy, so Izuna is ritually disowned from the Uchiha and given a special role responsible for protecting/fighting him.)
