Knock Knock...
"Sakura dear, please see who's at the door."
Sakura grumbled, but still got up to the door.
KNOCK..KNOCK...
"Coming, coming... geez."
As soon as she opened the door, her eyes widened in shock.
"K-Kiyomi... when did you wake—"
"Where is Sukuna."
The girl, who looked completely disheveled with uncombed hair, eyes puffy and tear marks visible under them, didn't even let Sakura complete her words.
"Who is it, Sakura?" Mebuki peeked from the inside, only to find Sakura talking with another girl.
"Ah mom, this is Kiyomi Uchiha. She's—"
"I'm here for Sukuna, auntie... can you please call him." Kiyomi cut off again, making Sakura smile that one particular smile where she wished to strangle the other person. Mostly Sukuna.
'I just recall why I don't like this bitch.'
Mebuki first saw a girl of Sakura's age; this was the first time she met her. A new friend, most likely.
Only, the said girl was looking for Sukuna. And apparently was crying before coming here.
Slowly, her mother's instincts tingled, and her tied-up hair looked like it was floating behind her in righteous fury.
'That brat... making girls cry.'
"Wait here, dear. I'll bring that brat here this instant." She said and turned around like a general on a war march, vanishing inside.
Sakura blinked, and then suddenly her earlier scowling face turned upside down. "Awww... this is gonna be good." Not often she got to see her brother in trouble.
'Wait... there are leftover popcorns in the kitchen...'
"Kiyomi, wait here. I'll be back in a sec."
Sukuna was in his room, feeding his curse energy to the useless slob he had gotten from Danzo's lair years ago.
"I swear, if this thing doesn't do something soon before being a bottomless hole devouring my CE for free, I'm gonna incinerate it." He grumbled at the black tube, which looked like a pet project of a mad scientist in his free time.
It's been years he's been feeding the thing his curse energy, and it hasn't done—
...Wack!
A sound from behind jolted him. His instincts kicked in, and his fingers were already moving with the intent to cut open anything in his line of sight when his hand clamped onto his ear like a pincher.
"You brat... what were you up to..." Mebuki shouted, making Sukuna dizzy for a second.
"What! Hey, release my ear... what the hell did I do!" He complained, resisting his mother, who was all but dragging him out of his room by his ear, while secretly relieved that she didn't notice the black tube.
With a quick Kamui, the tube was gone; however, he realized he was already being dragged on the floor by his ear.
"What you did, you tell me, brat. Making little girls cry. I'll teach you once this is over. Now go and say you're sorry to her this instant." She roared.
"You insane— who's making little girls cry. She must have seen your face first thing this morning without makeup. Go ask her."
That only earned him a slap on the head. Truly, the only human on this planet who could make the King of Curses helpless was his mother.
Before Sukuna knew it, he was in front of a very disheveled-looking Kiyomi Uchiha. On the side, he caught Sakura munching on leftover popcorns...
'...wait, those were supposed to be mine, isn't it!'
If not for his mother looming behind him like a war god, ready to disintegrate him at any wrong move, he would have given the little pinklet a piece of his mind.
For the time being, he turned to Kiyomi again, looking at her once to give her an overview of what Mebuki might have been going on about.
'Is my reputation really that bad around this area!'
"You woke up... how are you feeling?" He asked, a bit awkward, since it's been a long time since they last talked, and here was the girl looking at him like she owed him money.
'Woke up...!' Mebuki behind him caught some specific words and felt like thunder struck her heart.
Woke up... Crying, disheveled girl... looking for her son.
Sakura munching intensified upon practically seeing the gears inside her mother's head turning.
'Cinema... this is cinema...'
"I want to talk to you... I need your help."
'Oh god... she needs his help. Is she—' Mebuki felt like fainting.
'My help?' Sukuna, unaware of what storm was brewing behind him, focused entirely on Kiyomi, his mind analyzing the past events and her mindset to ultimately come to an outcome.
'Must be something related to Itachi...' he thought.
'Well... I wouldn't mind. Got my own beef to pick with that guy. And honestly, I kinda liked Izumi as well. She taught me; the least I could do is help in her revenge.'
"O—"
"SUKUNA HARUNO—"
Before he could complete his sentence, a roar from behind him rattled him.
"Kayyyy..."
'No... not okay. What the hell did I do now?'

[Konoha Hospital - Special Ward]
"Are you kidding me, old man. If you brought me here in this dumpster to listen to your joke, then I'm out of here." Tsunade did not even for a moment entertain the fact that someone could indeed come back to life.
If it was possible, would Tsunade Senju, the greatest medical-nin in the elemental nations, the last living Senju alive and a Sannin, not have the means to achieve it, bring back her lover and brother.
This was a sore subject for Tsunade, something which one could use to instantly earn her ire.
"I'm not joking, Tsunade. Here, read this file." Hiruzen handed her a medical report made by the best medic in the hospital. Tsunade hesitated before finally going through it. And the more she read, the more she frowned.
'...is this a joke? How is this even possible? Heart pierced. Eyes gouged out. Multiple lacerations on the body. A 31-hour death report during which the corpse was preserved in a freezer.'
She read again and then looked at the girl casually sitting in front like this was a third person they were talking about.
Tsunade finally gave up and turned to Hiruzen. "How is this possible?"
"You're asking me. I hoped you might be able to shed some light on the matter." Hiruzen puffed on his pipe like he was going mad over this case.
"I already told you, I was in a suspended death state." Izumi, who had mostly been ignoring them until now while they treated her like a test rat that suddenly showed human speech, spoke up.
"Suspended state of death!" Tsunade narrowed her eyes, not taking the words at face value immediately.
"And how would you do that?"
Izumi just grinned at this, a very un-Izumi-like expression for those who knew her. "Mangekyō Sharingan."
She said it like that one word explained everything. And to everyone's dismay, it did. At least to those who knew about the two hacks the Sharingan had, called Izanagi and Izanami.
Thanks to being connected to Tobirama Senju, both Tsunade and Hiruzen passed on both earlier checkboxes.
"So you had those eyes." Tsunade asked warily.
"I had those eyes. That bastard stole them."
Hiruzen immediately asked, "Which bastard!"
"Beats me. Son of a bitch stabbed me, pierced my heart while I was down." Izumi shrugged.
Hiruzen frowned. "You don't remember anything?"
"...hmmm, well, he had a mask."
"A mask."
Tsunade observed the back and forth with rising irritation. "Who cares about who killed you, how are you alive?" She couldn't take it in the end.
"Geez, we are talking about my allegedly dead case here, old woman. Tsk... not a shred of emotional awareness. Men don't like your type, you know. No wonder you're still single."
Izumi didn't even bother hiding her thoughts, saying it as it came to her. Tsunade, on the other hand, felt like someone choke-slammed her.
"You—" The Sannin seemed like she had popped a vein, and before Hiruzen beside her could stop her, Tsunade's punch was already directed at Izumi.
BOOM!!
A shockwave rattled the area, alerting the Anbu outside. However, the expected destruction didn't appear.
Another fist, of equal mass, stopped hers.
"Geez, I like the rough type, but I'm not into old hags."
