I want to go too

A week later.

"Madara Uchiha!!! Konoha!! Konoha has gone too far!! Coming into our Land of Wind to capture a tailed beast! Such arrogance! Chiyo! Send word to Konoha! If they don't return the One-Tail, Sunagakure will declare war on Konoha!"

"Madara Uchiha!! Hashirama Senju!! Damn it!! They actually came into our Land of Lightning to capture tailed beasts! And they took both of them! Aaaaargh! Send word to Konoha! If they don't return those two tailed beasts, Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning will declare war on Konoha!"

"Madara Uchiha!! Hashirama Senju!! Aaaaargh!!"

"Madara Uchiha!! Hashirama Senju!!!"

All eight remaining tailed beasts had fallen into Konoha's hands, and the other Four Great Villages were practically dying of rage. Apart from the Seven-Tails, almost all the others had lived within their respective countries. Those two bastards had turned up without so much as a word and snatched the tailed beasts away right in front of everyone. How were they supposed to save face?

One after another, they sent messages to Konoha, all saying roughly the same thing: return the tailed beasts, or face war.

"What should we do?" Hashirama asked the others in front of him, looking at the four documents in his hands.

"One shinobi world! Five great nations! Isn't that division? Isn't that a betrayal of the Sage of Six Paths himself!"

"The Four Great Shinobi Villages are targeting us, and those little countries want to join in too! If they want a fight, then let's fight!" Dave started playing some background music on his phone and roared, pounding the table with fiery enthusiasm.

"..." Everyone stared at Dave, utterly dumbfounded...

"Ahem, ahem. Just got a little carried away... Carry on... Just ignore me..." Only then did Dave come back to his senses... He had acted on impulse, remembering a certain scene from his previous life...

"Send them a message and call a Five Kage Summit. We'll sell them the tailed beasts," Tobirama said after some thought.

"Where should we hold it? It can't be in any of the five great villages. The other Kage wouldn't come," Hashirama asked.

"Hmm, the Land of Iron or the Land of Rain. Both occupy strategically central positions in the shinobi world. But the government in the Land of Rain hasn't stabilized yet, so it could be dangerous. The Land of Iron, then. Let's hold it there." Tobirama spread the map of the shinobi world across the table, considered it, and pointed to the Land of Iron.

"Then send word to the Land of Iron and the other Four Great Villages." Hashirama nodded.

"Uncle, are you leaving the village? Can you take me along?" Dave asked Hashirama. Unless he was mistaken, this was the point in the story when the first Five Kage Summit took place, and he wanted to join in the fun. He had been eating dango with Uncle Madara at the Dango Shop earlier that day. When Hashirama summoned Madara, Madara hadn't given it much thought and had simply brought Dave along on his back.

"Dave, the Five Kage Summit isn't a place for children to fool around," Tobirama said sternly.

"Hey, hey, hey, Dad, I'm not a child! I have a wife! I have a fox! I can even use Wood Release! Apart from my age and height, I'm already an adult, okay!" Dave protested irritably...

"Besides, Uncle Madara and Uncle Hashirama will be at the Five Kage Summit too, right? Uncle Madara is so strong. If anything happens, he'll definitely protect me!" Dave argued indignantly.

"Mm, it would be good for Dave to see more of the world. Besides, Hashirama and I will be there. He won't be in any danger." With Dave singing his praises like that, how could Madara not show his support?

"...All right, but I'm going too," Tobirama said after considering it. He knew Flying Thunder God, so if Dave encountered any danger, he could help him immediately.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you're all going, I'm going too!" Izuna looked at the others. Were they going to leave him alone in Konoha?

Thinking back on the blind dates he had endured over the past few days made Izuna deeply uncomfortable. Mito had come to catch him every afternoon... And his older brother had blocked the gates of the Uchiha Clan Compound. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn't...

"What's a useless fool who's already died once going to do there? Show his face so people remember he exists?" Tobirama sneered at Izuna.

"Tobirama Senju!!! I've fucking put up with you long enough!!"

"Uchiha Izuna!!! As if I haven't done the same!!"

"Tobirama Senju!!!"

"Uchiha Izuna!!!"

Dave was starting to feel that bringing Izuna back to life really might have been a mistake... His dear old dad had found his own bromance partner too...

A few days later, replies came from the other villages agreeing to the Five Kage Summit. The Land of Iron agreed as well. As a great nation of samurai, it already had a hard enough time in this ninja era. It was better to declare its neutrality early.

That day, everyone set out. On the road...

"Uncle Madara, we've been walking forever... I'm so tired." Dave rubbed his blistered soles, complaining a little...

He wasn't a proper ninja to begin with. Apart from growing plants, he couldn't use a single other Ninjutsu. He didn't even know the basic Three Body Technique. Watching his dear old dad zip around with Flying Thunder God every day made him terribly envious, but he had looked at the technique himself. It gave him a headache... He couldn't learn it, so he had given up.

"Hop on." Seeing that his son didn't want to walk anymore, Tobirama had just been about to offer to carry him. But Madara Uchiha had already stepped in front of Dave and bent down.

"Hehe, Uncle Madara, you're the best! Mwah! Love you so much!" Dave scrambled onto Madara's back with delight and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Madara said nothing and simply continued on his way.

Watching that affectionate scene, Hashirama felt his heart melting. Should I say that next time too... Then... have Madara carry me... and sneak a kiss... Hehehe, hahahahaha... How embarrassing... But... I could give it a try... Hehehehe...

A perverted, lovestruck grin appeared on Hashirama's face once again...

Meanwhile, Tobirama radiated endless resentment... The inherently evil Uchiha Clan. That bastard Madara Uchiha. That damned Madara Uchiha. And that little shit Uchiha Izuna beside him. Every one of them wants to steal my Dave. He desperately wanted to roar, Dave is mine! Let go of him! But considering that he probably couldn't beat Madara... he could only swallow his anger for now...

Hmph, that bastard Madara Uchiha is older than me anyway. Hmph, hmph, I'll wait! I'll wait until he dies! Then I'll dig up his grave! I'll scatter his ashes too!

The sky gradually faded into dusk as they continued through the woods. Just then, a flash of light shot toward them from deep within the dark forest.
