I. Nail polish
Madara could never understand why women bothered with painting their fingernails. To him it was one of the most useless things that mankind had ever come up with. He could understand why women painted their face, lips and such, but nails? Never.
Yet, Mito still insisted every time they met and had enough time to paint his fingernails.
She would grab his hand and force him to sit next to her, just to magically pull from her sleeve some dark nail polish. She would carefully take Madara's hand in hers and start to paint his fingernails while discussing various topics with Madara.
In a way Madara enjoyed their small talks, but he still didn't see the point of the whole ritual Mito insisted executing. So, because of this, he had decided to stick with wearing his gloves while going out. It would have been way too embarrassing for the 'great Madara' to have gone out in the open with his nails painted, yet it would have been pure suicide if he had ruined Mito's 'hard work'. After all, Madara knew better than upset women such as Uzumaki Mito.
