Boom!!!!
The room was buzzing with gossip, everyone munching on the juiciest drama. The chemistry between the God of Shinobi and the Shinobi World's Asura was just too good!
Even Tobirama Senju, who never missed a chance to rant about the "evil Uchihas," was watching with rapt attention…
For some reason, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Izuna Uchiha standing next to him.
But then, a thick wave of killing intent swept through the room!
The research lab's door was kicked open with a bang, and Mito Uzumaki stormed in, her red hair whipping through the air, her chakra exploding wildly!
"Hashirama! Senju!!!"
"Sweetheart! You're here!"
Hashirama, oblivious to the danger, was still hugging Madara Uchiha, giving his wife a goofy wave…
"Honey! Look at this!!! Madara's got my face tattooed on his chest! I'm gonna get one of his face on mine later!"
Mito's face darkened…
Oh, really now?!
I'm at home cooking for you, and you're out here playing bromance?!
Putting a green hat on me, huh?!
Go to hell!!
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!!!!"
Golden chains shot toward Hashirama in an instant!
And since Hashirama was still clinging to Madara, both of them got wrapped up in the chains like a bundled package…
Madara was dumbfounded.
Fine, discipline your husband, but what did I do?! Why am I tied up too?!
"Mito! This has nothing to do with me! Why'd you tie me up?!"
"Shut your mouth! You two adulterous scoundrels! Go die together!!!!"
Boom!!!!
Another massive hole was blasted through the Research Department's building. Orochimaru's eye twitched as he watched. His poor department—barely built yesterday, and now it was a crumbling mess with two giant holes…
Hashirama and Madara were sent flying out through the hole.
"Whee~~~ Madara~~~ We're flying together~~~"
Veins popped on Madara's forehead. This damn goofy Senju!
Even now, flying through the air, he's still clinging to me! And what's with that stupid face?! Stop rubbing it on my chest!!!
Meanwhile, back on the ground, two ninjas were chatting…
"Bro! How'd the interview go?!"
"Nailed it, of course! I'm officially a proud ninja teacher at the Village Defense Tech University!"
"Congrats, man! One step closer to your dream!"
"Hahaha… yeah!
You won't believe this, but the interviewer was Director Iruka! The man who said that legendary line! 'If I, Iruka, hadn't been born, ninja academy teachers would be lost in eternal darkness!'
I'm gonna be a man like Director Iruka one day!!!
By the way, bro, how'd your interview go?!"
"Haha… I got through by the skin of my teeth! I'm now officially a medical ninja in the Medical Department! If you ever get banged up, just come to me, bro! Haha…"
"Count on it!!!"
"No problem!"
"Whoa?! Bro, look! More ninjas flying!"
"Lemme see… Holy crap! Isn't that the First Hokage and the Shinobi World's Asura?! Damn, they're flying so high! They're almost as high as Lord Hokage himself!"
"Yeah… and they're moving faster too!"
"But… why does it look like Lord Asura's not wearing any clothes?!"
"Who knows… maybe he's practicing some kind of ninjutsu?!"
"…"
A short while later, Hashirama and Madara returned to the Research Department, covered in dirt and looking worse for wear…
Mito had finally gotten the full story. The "tattoo" on Madara's chest wasn't a tattoo—it was cells. And her husband was about to undergo an experiment to fuse with Madara's cells.
If it worked, he could awaken the legendary Sage's eyes!
Even though she now understood the situation, Mito was still fuming…
Watching her husband get so chummy with another man was hard for any woman to stomach!
If it was a woman, fine, she could chalk it up to not being charming enough.
But another man?!
Was her charm as Mito Uzumaki really less than a man's?!!
What an evil Uchiha!!
Tobirama was right all along!
Mito instinctively glanced at Tobirama, but what she saw made her freeze.
Tobirama was whispering something to Izuna Uchiha…
Oh, great! Even you, Tobirama, with your big brows and serious face, have fallen to the evil Uchihas, huh?!
Was this the legendary saying: behind every successful man, there's an evil Uchiha?!
Mito's thoughts started spiraling.
Her husband, the First Hokage, had Madara Uchiha by his side…
The Second Hokage, Tobirama, now had Izuna Uchiha…
The Third Hokage, the little monkey, didn't have an Uchiha, but he had Danzō, who had an arm full of Sharingan and a Mangekyo—basically half an Uchiha!
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was best buds with Fugaku Uchiha…
And the Fifth Hokage, Hirofumi Ito… well, his vibe was the most normal. But looking at Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha standing on either side of him…
That vibe wasn't exactly normal either!
In the past, each Hokage had one guy by their side. But this kid had two—one Uzumaki, one Uchiha…
Was this the bond of Konoha?!
Mito let out a long sigh and set down the lunchbox she was holding.
"Ugh… you guys, no matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat!"
With that, Mito turned and left without looking back, though her singing echoed through the Research Department's halls…
"I should be under the car~~~
Not inside it~~~
Watching how sweet you two are~~~"
