(Hashimada) The Adventures of a Hedgehog and Some Idiots

31: Tobikage

They got dressed and put out the fire. Madara straightened out Hashirama's hair - he made sure all of the flowers were out this time. They headed back into the village; the first thing they did was return to the office to make sure everything was in order. Tobirama was arguing with Hashirama's wood clone over something when they walked in. Hashirama and Madara were intrigued, so they waited outside of the office to listen to the conversation.

"Damn, you are just annoying as my brother. . . I never should have taught him the clone technique! Now set that down, damnit, it's important!"

"What, this? Ehh. . . I think I'll keep it! Hey Tobirama, we should get some sake for the office!"

"NO SAKE, DAMNIT! I really need to do something about these clones becoming alcoholics. . ."

"Hey, we shouldn't even be working, so the least we can do is drink, right?"

"Where the hell did you get that from?"

"Oh, right he-"

Hashirama panicked. His clone was about to reveal where he hid the rest of the sake! He hurried up and poofed the clone, then walked in the door with Madara, sighing in relief. Tobirama was sitting behind the desk, in Hashirama's usual seat.

"Oh, brother. I was wondering how long you were going to sit outside the door," Tobirama rolled his eyes. "Your clones are annoying as hell. . . Why do they act like they're real people?"

Madara and Hashirama stood in front of the desk. The former said, "Hah! That is what I tried to tell him." He glanced at Hashirama and said, "See, that is why you should not name them."

"You named them, brother?! Pfft, of course you did. . . That explains it."

Hashirama said defensively, "Hey, it makes them feel appreciated! Anyway. . . That's not why we came here. Thanks for keeping an eye on things, brother. I'm sorry we took so long. . ."

Tobirama said, "Whatever, I already got my revenge."

"Wha- Brother, what did you do?!"

Tobirama smirked and said, "Oh, nothing. . . Oh yeah, and I finally dealt with that intruder. I was getting annoyed sensing his chakra - he was still under a genjutsu, crying. He's in the prison now." He gave a sideways look at Madara and continued, "Anyway, what did you want? I can tell you have something you wanted to talk about."

Hashirama said, "Shit, I completely forgot about that! Oh. . . He was right across the hall from us, right. . .?"

Tobirama laughed and said, "Yeah, that's why he was traumatized." He gave a disgusted look. "You two were so loud that it started to fuck up the genjutsu. . . Whatever he was seeing, it was so disturbing that he couldn't even move after it was broken."

"Damnit. . . Madara, can you un-traumatize him, somehow? Like with your Sharingan. . . I don't know. I just don't want him to be that messed up," Hashirama frowned.
