Senju Hashirama! How could he! How dare he treat my brother this way?!
Uchiha Izuna had never regretted his choice so much; if he hadn't died back then, his brother would never have ended up like this!
"Izuna, how did you know?" Uchiha Madara asked, sounding somewhat surprised as he listened.
A new Uchiha joined Oda's place, named Uchiha Shisui; by generation, he's considered our great-great-grandson." Uchiha Izuna's expression was indifferent. "I pried it out of his mouth.
Uchiha Madara nodded. Among the remaining Uchiha, none bore that name; it seemed Izuna did not yet know about the events of the Fourth War.
Regarding these matters, he was very composed. Once he had done something, he had done it, if he failed, he could only say his skills were inferior to others; it was just that it was inevitably a bit embarrassing for Izuna to find out.
After finally managing to appease Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara immediately dialed a number once he had left, "Hello, Movie Twins is about to be released. You should understand how the company should support me." Indeed, he had directly bought out the company Uchiha Izuna was signed to.
“Remember to take Izuna to the Movie Twins' promotional events. This is his first movie, I want it to be perfect.” Uchiha Madara made another call to Uchiha Izuna's manager, Koizumi Yuri, asking her to take Uchiha Izuna out, making it easier for him to pull off some small maneuvers.
The reason for all this was the sudden incident that occurred this morning.
At that time, Uchiha Madara was listening to reports from several executives when he suddenly felt an intense gaze and a familiar aura. He raised his head and locked eyes with someone who was looking at him.
In the next second, that person cried thick, streaming tears and shouted excitedly, "Madara! Madara! I've finally found you!"
The executives standing nearby watched in disbelief as that person reached Uchiha Madara's side in an instant.
And Uchiha Madara, who usually only showed a pleasant expression toward Uchiha Izuna, actually had a faint smile appear on his face when facing this person.
She was a tall woman with long hair; her black tresses flowed smoothly down her back. With her voluptuous figure and striking features, she looked like a person of heroic and dashing grace.
Although her ragged clothes revealed much of her skin, her temperament was like warm sunlight, the kind of person that the Port Mafia members living in darkness rarely encountered.
A little girl, also dressed in rags, was following beside her.
Could they be the leader's wife and child? This thought flashed through the minds of several executives simultaneously.
Immediately after, they saw that woman hugging the leader, Uchiha Madara, tightly. Instead of being repulsed, Uchiha Madara actually patted her back soothingly.
After settling the two of them, Uchiha Madara turned his head to look at his subordinates.
"Sorry, Boss, it was our oversight." Several executives lowered their heads.
Regardless of whether this woman has any connection to the Boss, the fact that this person could bring a child and break through the Port Mafia's tight security without alerting a single soul to arrive here means their defenses were inadequate.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Uchiha Madara said with a pause. “If you were able to find him, I wouldn't be sitting in this position.”
Sensing the weight behind those words, the hearts of the executives were filled with uncertainty and suspicion.
After a moment of thought, Uchiha Madara suddenly turned back to look at the executives. "What happened today must not be leaked. If Izuna finds out, I will hold you all responsible!"
A terrifying pressure bore down directly on the executives.
Heaven knows his first reaction upon seeing that person just now was that he had to hide immediately, so that Izuna wouldn't find him.

Chapter 13
After Uchiha Madara finished the phone call and arranged everything, he immediately rushed into the room where the newcomer was being settled.
"Alright, now you can tell me what's going on with this appearance of yours and that girl?" Uchiha Madara said, arms crossed, glancing sideways at Senju Hashirama.
That's right, it was Senju Hashirama; even though he was currently using a girl's appearance, Uchiha Madara could recognize his true identity at a single glance.
Madara!" At the mention of this, Senju Hashirama's tears began to flow uncontrollably again! "All of this is the Sage of Six Paths' conspiracy!
"Huh?" Uchiha Madara was momentarily stunned by this explanation.
I thought I would finally be able to drink underground with you this time, but instead of seeing you, I saw the Sage of Six Paths smile at me in the darkness, then I woke up in another place!" Senju Hashirama said indignantly. "If this isn't his scheme, then what is?
Uchiha Madara thought about it for a moment; in the Ninja World, the only one capable of doing something like throwing him and Hashirama into another world was truly the Sage of Six Paths.
Senju Hashirama then began to chatter incessantly about the unlucky circumstances he encountered when he arrived. Unlike the Uchiha, Senju Hashirama wasn't so lucky; he fell directly at the feet of a pet owner, enjoying the treatment of a pampered feline master, carefully served by the pet owner, Oda Sakunosuke.
Heaven knows that when he arrived, he happened to fall right into a noble lady's lounge. To avoid being suspected of being a pervert, he could only disguise himself as a woman under the pseudonym Senju Hashiko.
That noble lady was quite reasonable; seeing his injuries, she thought he was being hunted and, instead of questioning his unauthorized presence in the lounge, she kindly provided him with a room to recover. As it happened, the noble lady's daughter was suffering from a serious illness, so Senju Hashirama offered to treat her in order to repay her kindness.
This treatment was quite extraordinary. The husband of this noble lady was Francis, the leader of a large local ability-user faction known as the Order. Upon seeing that Senju Hashirama possessed a precious healing ability! (Major misunderstanding) There was nothing left to say—he had to recruit him into his own faction!
But after Senju Hashirama carefully examined the condition of this noblewoman's daughter, he discovered that the reality was not as simple as he had thought.
“I can only prevent her condition from worsening, but I cannot fully cure it.” Senju Hashirama frowned. As a user of Wood Release, although his healing abilities were incredibly powerful—able to pull anyone back from the brink as long as they had a single breath left—this kind of genetic ailment fell outside his scope of treatment. "It's a pity my brother Tobirama is not here; he actually has a deeper understanding of genetics."
"Then, do you know where your brother is now?" the noble lady asked him hurriedly.
"I don't know either," Senju Hashirama said regretfully. He actually wanted to contact his brother, after all, spatial transference and such were his brother's specialty.
As a possessor of the precious healing ability, being a weak girl(?) [sic], Senju Hashirama's treatment within the group could be described as utterly indulgent; as long as the requests were not excessive, they were basically all met.
From the moment he arrived at the organization, Senju Hashirama had been telling everyone that he wanted to find someone named Uchiha Madara.
"I wonder what your relationship is with that person named Uchiha Madara?" Francis's wife was very grateful to Senju Hashirama for treating her child, so she would seek him out to chat from time to time.
Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up; if the topic was this, he certainly wouldn't feel sleepy anymore.
“Madara is my best friend! The kind we've shared a nuptial cup with!” He puffed out his chest proudly, failing to notice that Francis's wife's expression changed the moment she heard those words.
Senju Hashirama began telling the story from when he first met Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Uchiha Madara when they were children. They had built a friendship by the riverside, only to be torn apart by their fathers on both sides, but he did not give up and continued to pursue it persistently, eventually moving Uchiha Madara and bringing the two clans together. However, for some unknown reason, after his marriage, the two grew apart until they finally went their separate ways.
You really don't know why?" As he listened, Francis's wife suddenly blurted out, "Because you both love each other, yet you don't even realize it!
Ah!!" Senju Hashirama was struck with horror, "Why would you think that? Madara is my best friend!
The way you look at someone you love is impossible to hide," Francis's wife said softly. "Your eyes light up whenever you talk about them!
Then, when Francis's wife returned again, she was holding a copy of Romeo and Juliet in her hands.
After finishing this book, Senju Hashirama felt as if a whole new world had opened up to him.
So, is this how I truly feel about Madara-san? He walked away in a daze.
Actually, Francis's wife was also misled by Senju Hashirama's current appearance, which created a preconceived notion. She thought Senju Hashirama was a woman, if a woman and a man had reached this level of intimacy, what could it be if not love?
As a result, Senju Hashirama was also unfortunate enough to be misled by Francis's wife.
The Port Mafia in Yokohama, Japan, is certainly considered a powerful force within international organizations, so when it changed leaders, the organization naturally received news of the new leader, Uchiha Madara. However, because the organization wanted to retain the precious healing ability of Senju Hashirama, they kept this news a secret.
But Senju Hashirama was, after all, the head of a clan from the Ninja World; was he unable to find him just because others wouldn't provide information?
So, after understanding the organization's plans, he decided to go find Madara by himself, but Miss Anna, the daughter of Francis's wife, still required his care.
Senju Hashirama went off to have a long talk with Francis's wife and gained her support, so with the laxness provided by Francis's wife, he quietly escaped with Miss Anna.
After discovering that Senju Hashirama had disappeared with the leader's daughter, Miss Anna, the organization also realized that Senju Hashirama had come here to find Uchiha Madara, so they controlled the high-speed rail, planes, all access roads, implementing strict inspections.
Unexpectedly, Senju Hashirama took an unconventional path. He was used to traveling alone in the Ninja World, the carriages of the Ninja World were not even faster than his walking pace. This was why he appeared so disheveled when he met Uchiha Madara; it was because he had traveled entirely on his own, without using any means of transportation.
As for the group, they had no idea that Senju Hashirama, a "frail" female healer with special abilities, had actually bypassed them all by traveling on his own.
After listening to Senju Hashirama's explanation, Uchiha Madara pondered for a moment before saying:
For the time being, you should keep your female form.
?? Senju Hashirama's face was covered in question marks.
Uchiha Madara said cautiously, "Izuna is still here; it wouldn't be good if he found out you were here."
"Alright then!" Senju Hashirama could only say aggrievedly. He also knew that Uchiha Izuna held a poor opinion of him; if Uchiha Izuna were to find out, he certainly wouldn't be able to stay with Madara.
"This is Senju Hashiko, my good friend; she and her daughter Anna will be staying here for a while," Uchiha Madara introduced to his subordinate nonchalantly.
Ozaki Kouyou snapped her fan open, covering the half of her face where the corners of her mouth were curling upward.
Mori Ougai's face stiffened slightly.
Hashiko? What a strange name. Who names their child Hashiko? Did this young lady's father really put any thought into it when he chose that name!
“Don't tell Izuna about this yet.” After a moment of thought, Uchiha Madara instructed, “He doesn't like Hashiko much, I don't want him to be unhappy when he finds out Hashiko is coming.”
Senju Hashirama stood naturally by Uchiha Madara's side, no matter how one looked at them, the distance between the two exceeded that of ordinary friends.
Regarding this explanation, although the executives below said, "Yes, yes, yes, Boss, you are absolutely right," no one knew what they were actually thinking in their hearts.
At first, everyone in the Port Mafia who learned of this was shocked.
After all, when Uchiha Madara first rose to power, it wasn't as if no one had sent him beauties, but he had never shown any interest and always maintained a distant, unapproachable demeanor. Coupled with Uchiha Izuna watching him like a tiger, he could be considered a good man of the Port Mafia who kept himself pure, having never even had a single lover.
As a result, now that his wife and child have shown up at his door, he actually still says that they are just friends?
With the intimacy between you and Ms. Hashiko, you're still claiming you're just friends? Pfft, do you think we're all blind?!
That Miss Hashiko enters your room whenever she pleases, sometimes she even sleeps in the same bed as you at night. Who would believe her when she says she has nothing going on with you?!
Scum! Such a scumbag!
Uchiha Madara didn't think anything was strange; in his mind, Senju Hashirama had always been a man. They had always interacted in this manner before; wasn't it perfectly normal for friends to sleep side by side?
Senju Hashirama was a bit more sensitive than Uchiha Madara, he could probably understand what others were thinking. However, his mind was already a bit astray; he was currently thinking about how to win over Uchiha Madara, so he was more than happy to let such rumors fly and naturally had no intention of warning Uchiha Madara.
But as more and more people saw the child brought by Senju Hashiko, the direction of the rumors shifted once again.
This child looked neither like Miss Hashiko nor Madara-san, so everyone secretly speculated that perhaps Miss Hashiko had cheated on Madara-san with another man and had this child with him.
Senju Hashirama: I am not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!
Madara-san likes Senju Hashiko so much, it must be true love.
The Boss is such a wonderful man!
The Boss forbade them from telling Mr. Uchiha Izuna that his unhappiness upon seeing Miss Hashiko was certainly because Mr. Uchiha Izuna had seen through her and realized she was not a well-behaved person, thus disapproved of the matter.
Senju Hashirama: I've been wronged!
As a result, Uchiha felt that the subordinates of this generation were becoming increasingly strange. A few days ago, some had even dared to glare at him secretly, these past few days, the looks they gave him had become increasingly indescribable; the people of this world were truly difficult to understand.
Uchiha Izuna, who was out promoting the movie, had absolutely no idea that the person he disliked most had already arrived, had even started raiding his home while he was away.
