"Scenery of the northern lands, frozen for a thousand miles, snow drifting for ten thousand..."
"Second Grandfather, you said that when we arrived this morning." Tobirama interrupted Masahiko's poetry recitation.
"Tobirama, if you hadn't spoken, I'd have nearly forgotten you. You glared at me before we left just now, didn't you?" Masahiko remembered again.
"Second Grandfather, Shukaku, Shukaku..." Hashirama gave Masahiko a meaningful look.
Masahiko's expression changed, and he stopped talking.
But Tobirama had already gotten started. "Second Grandfather, you stole Shukaku from the Land of Wind? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? At this Five Kage Summit, the Kazekage nearly came to blows with us. In the end, they only let it go after we agreed to return the One-Tail unconditionally." He sighed. "Big Brother nearly lost all face for the Hokage."
Masahiko decisively shifted the blame. "Your big brother tricked me into going to the Land of Wind. If we hadn't caught Shukaku, wouldn't your Second Grandfather have been utterly humiliated...?"
Tobirama turned his glare on Hashirama, only to find that Hashirama actually dared to glare back.
Tobirama was briefly speechless. Only then did he remember that tricking Masahiko into going to the Land of Wind had been both of their idea.
Masahiko looked from side to side and spotted something suspicious. "Tobirama, don't tell me you had something to do with this too..."
Hashirama hurriedly cut him off. "It's fine, Second Grandfather. It's all in the past. As long as the Five Kage Summit ended smoothly, that's what matters..." As he spoke, he and Tobirama accelerated at the same time, leaving Masahiko behind.
"Wait for me! You two actually dared to gang up and trick your Second Grandfather!"
After chasing each other for a while, the three left the Land of Iron behind, left the snow-filled world
