Three in the morning.
In the Senju Compound, a figure crouched by a wall was muttering something...
"Madara, come out and game!" Hashirama crouched by the wall with his phone in hand, whispering as he kept glancing at the room behind him.
"It's three in the morning... and you're asking me to come out and game? Did Mito give you permission?" Back in the Clan Compound, Madara checked the time on his phone and asked in disbelief.
"Mito's asleep. I snuck out," Hashirama said with the smug grin of someone who had gotten away with something.
"...Fine. Meet me outside the internet cafe."
Outside the internet cafe...
Hashirama and Madara stared at a sign hanging on the door.
"The Internet Cafe Manager is away on business. Closed for fifteen days."
"What could Nine-Tails possibly have to do? And for that long?" Hashirama asked, dumbfounded.
"...I'll call and ask." Madara called Nine-Tails.
"Hello... in the middle of the night...? Hello, what do you need Kurama for?" The voice on the phone wasn't Nine-Tails's, but that of a familiar man.
"Kagami Uchiha? Why do you have Nine-Tails's phone?" Madara paused, then asked.
"Nine-Tails? Tax evasion. He's being detained at the Konoha Military Police Force for fifteen days. Oh, One-Tail's here with him, too. Their phones and other personal belongings are being held here," Kagami said with a yawn.
"I'm innocent! This has nothing to do with me! That bastard Kakuzu told me to do all of it!" A wail came from deep inside the police station.
"Shut up! You're the owner of the internet cafe. Who else would we arrest?" Kagami shouted back, his head aching.
**"Fuck, their company gets a cut of my internet cafe's profits, too! Kakuzu told me this was legal tax avoidance! He's done it dozens of times!
