"I don't see what the big deal is." Hashirama spoke, he was in a meeting with both sets of clan elders, the Uchiha and the Senju.
"You know exactly what the big deal is, Senju!"
"Hold your tongue! You are still speaking to your Hokage!" A Senju elder shot at the old Uchiha male.
Hashirama sighed a little bit, trying to talk to both was like trying to break a brick wall with a dull kunai, it was almost impossible. "You wanted a true Union between the Uchiha and Senju, to prove that we would not back out on our word. And now you have it, how are you still not happy?" he asked him.
"We did not agree to our Clan Leader marrying the Senju Clan leader! Your sister, of all people!" the same man shot.
Hashirama turned to look at him fully. "No, it's the perfect choice. Madara married my sister, who I made head of the Senju clan, this is the perfect way to unite the Uchiha and Senju. You want to be sure that the Senju won't betray the Uchiha, and we wouldn't dare, because I value my sister's life above all else." He said to him. "And the Uchiha now have my sister, and you have the promise that the Senju will not do anything." He said to them.
Hashirama already knew that he won that argument, the Uchiha had no reason to bitch at this point, they basically have Hashirama tied, just as they wanted. And Tobirama had agreed to this. But Hashirama was also aware of why she agreed to it, there were two reasons. One everyone knew, and one only Tobirama knew.
She wanted peace between the Senju and Uchiha, and because she had feelings for Madara.
It was lucky she looked good in blue.
Tobirama stared at herself in the mirror of hers and Madara's room.
Her whole wardrobe had changed to blue. And there was a variety of it. Light blue, dark blue. She really had more blue than she knew what to do with.
"Tobirama, we need to go." Madara said from the doorway. It was the day after the wedding, and the night prior was still fresh in her mind, Madara had been more gentle with her than she thought he would have been.
"I'm coming." She said to him.
A few Uchiha woman have already showed up to collect the proof from the night before. And it certainly worked out well for the Uchiha that she was still a virgin. She straightened up her clothing before moving to follow Madara, she was still a little sore yet. But hiding that was nothing.
The two of them walked back out, Tobirama at Madara's side as was expected of her, even if Madara had said many times that he does not expect her to be a pretty trophy for him. He knew of her strength, and he wanted her to show case that as much as her normal self as she could, because she was strong. And he didn't want that hidden.
And that was part of why she had ended up liking Madara, he respected her strength.
And that was rare.
She walked with confidence next to him. And that said a lot, because he allowed it.
As much as the Uchiha hated it.
When she looked ahead, she could see her brother standing in the square of the Uchiha compound as well, a small smile on his lips. She knew that Hashirama trusted Madara with his little sister.
She never did like the fact that old men had to examine the sheets to make sure the mix of fluids was legit, and not fabricated, which was why married Uchiha and Senju woman were there, to help authenticate it.
And she could tell they were annoyed.
"The marriage between Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama, is official. The sheets have been examined, and the consummation of their marriage is official as well." The man said.
Madara gently wrapped his arm around Tobirama, to try and show that this was more than just a marriage to keep the peace. But it would be one of love as well, something he wanted to show that could go past clan lines. And Tobirama was as calm as she could be.

(((A bit of an extra.)))
Kids had never passed her mind before, sure, she loved them, but she never imagined having her own.
But there she was, sitting at one of the parks Hashirama had made with the children in mind, she was very much pregnant, but she was also watching a dark haired boy play with another slightly darker haired boy.
She was seated with Mito, who was watching her own son play.
"Itsuki is only a year younger than Kazumi." Mito said. "But he's already so much bigger than him." She said with a bemused smile.
Tobirama hummed. "Kazumi takes a lot after Madara." She said to her. "Height and all." She chuckled.
Madara had been a little annoyed to find that Kazumi was below average in height when she had taken him in for his yearly checkup.
"Itsuki is going to be as big as brother, though. How lucky for him." She added. She had not been too shocked to find that Mito had been pregnant not long after she had given birth to Kazumi. Hashirama had always wanted children.
"How many kids do you plan to have, Tobirama?" Mito suddenly asked.
Tobirama touched her stomach for a moment. "Madara and I have spoken about this, but we feel two will be enough." She said to her. "I'm not the best mother, I try. But I don't think I could rear too many children. Madara has his heir, and I will have this next child, and we will be done." She said to her.
She had agreed to two children, Madara had needed an heir, and at first, she had been done after Kazumi. But Madara and convinced her to at least one more.
Mito looked at her and chuckled. "Hashirama wants many children, and I told him if he plans to carry some of these kids, then we will talk." She chuckled. "I've got him talked down to four." She said to her.
Tobirama looked at Mito. "Are you-"
"I am, don't say anything yet." She said with a chuckle. "I plan to tell Hashirama tonight." She added.
Tobirama chuckled a little bit. "He will be happy." She spoke.
She looked back out to the boys, Itsuki had hair that was the same color as Hashirama's, a more brown, black color, with cream brown eyes. The two-year-old was like a mini Hashirama. Kazumi on the other hand, he looked like Madara. Short spiky hair, black, and just as black eyes.
"want to bet one what the genders of our second borns will be?" Mito said with a chuckle.
"I feel as if we both are going to have boys. Boys run heavy in both families." She said to her.
"Hm? I think you will have a girl." Mito hummed. "Shock the Uchiha main branch who seems to think males run supreme in the family." She said to her.
Tobirama raised an eyebrow. "I will hold you to that, it would be fun to see that change." She chuckled.
Mito covered her mouth. "We should head out now." She moved to stand. "Itsuki, its time to go home." She called.
Tobirama stood as well. "Kazumi." She called.
Both boys came running over to them, Mito picked up Itsuki, while Tobirama grabbed Kazumi's hand, and they each headed off to go home.
