(Hashimada) The Adventures of a Hedgehog and Some Idiots

42: Enter: Mito

(Brief recap:

"Well, good enough for me!! Let's go, you two!!" Hashirama grabbed both of their hands and walked cheerfully to Risa's, swinging their arms.

"So childish. . . Why was it you that I fell for?" Madara mumbled.

Tobirama gave a short laugh. "He's always been like this."

"Hey, I can hear you two! Stop making fun of me, or no free dinner for you!" Hashirama scolded.

"Fine," Tobirama and Madara groaned. Still, they had ways to make fun of Hashirama behind his back, and that was exactly what they were going to do.

. . . and we continue :D)

By the time they reached the restaurant, Tobirama quickly pulled all of them aside into a nearby alley.

"Huh?!" Hashirama said in surprise, and Madara looked around, confused.

Tobirama shushed him and looked sharply around them. He explained quietly, still looking around, "I sensed an Uzumaki's chakra nearby. Only one of them, though - and it was strange chakra. It felt hostile."

"Damnit," Madara muttered.

"Good going, Brother - you must've really pissed them off," Tobirama laughed quietly.

Hashirama's face grew pale and he said, "I guess I should've expected that. . . Are they still close?"

Tobirama concentrated for a moment, then said, "Yes - the one that I sensed is in the restaurant. They haven't moved so far. . . Perhaps it'd be best to confront them now rather than later."

Hashirama sighed heavily and complained, "Why now? Can't I just wait until tomorrow? It's been a long day. . ."

"A long day of getting lost? You hardly accomplished anything today, so this is how you will make up for it," Madara glared at him. Hashirama opened his mouth to say something, but Madara spoke over him, "And before you ask, I cannot do everything for you. You have to do the talking."

Hashirama looked disappointed, as if Madara had foiled his plans. Then he thought of a backup plan - dump it on Tobirama!

He looked pleadingly at his younger brother, and Tobirama simply responded, "No. This is your problem, not mine."

"Aww. . . Fine," Hashirama mumbled nervously.

Tobirama and Madara dragged the Hokage to the entrance of Risa's, where they were once again greeted by Risa herself.

"Hashirama-sama, Tobirama-sama, Madara-sama - h-how nice of you all to come here! Here are some menus, and you can have a seat anywhere! Just l-let me know when you're ready!!"

She was even more frantic than usual, since the last time she had encountered Madara, he threatened her multiple times. She kept glancing nervously at him the whole time that she spoke.
