How Could a Little One Randomly Call Someone Their Dad?

[Blurb]

Note: The side couple is Hashirama and Madara, but there's not much romance. Don't read if that's not for you!

While the future God of Shinobi and the future Demon of the Shinobi World are discussing their ideals:

A little one drops from the sky and lands right on the future Demon of the Shinobi World's face, calling out in a lisp, "Dada."

Hashirama is stunned and stammers, "M-M-Madara, you have a kid!!!"

Twelve-year-old new dad Uchiha Madara: "It's obviously impossible!"

The little one opens their big, round black eyes and tilts their head at Hashirama, then suddenly says, "Mama."

Hashirama breaks down.

When Romeo Hashirama and Juliet Madara are torn apart by their fathers and brothers:

Hashirama cries out in anguish, "Let go of me! The child, Madara, our child, "

Dad Butsuma and Dad Tajima: You two did what???

Tobirama and Izuna: How can a man have a baby?!

Madara: ###Don't say things that could give people the wrong idea!

During the war, Izuna is mortally wounded.

As the little one watches their daddies about to fight each other, they sob uncontrollably. "Madara-dada, please don't kill Hashirama-dada, okay?"

Hashirama holds the little one and says with noble resolve, "Madara, after I die, you have to take good care of our child."

Madara, who refuses to agree to an alliance and is seen by everyone as a scumbag, twitches the corner of his mouth.

Madara starts doubting Konoha and decides to leave.

When Hashirama gets the news, he quickly scoops up the little one who has returned through time and rushes to the gate, where he says desolately, "Madara, are you abandoning your family? Madara, you don't want me, and now you don't want the child either?"

Hashirama switches into a Qiong Yao drama mode.

Madara's temples throb. He grits his teeth and says, "Hashirama, cut it out."

Madara, the scumbag who abandons her husband and daughter.

Theme: Life isn't just about getting by. There's poetry and distant horizons, too.
