"I can't believe you!" Madara says when he crashes into Tobirama's office. Izuna escapes out the window before he can grab the brat to use as a shield. Madara, unfortunately, does not follow. No, he stays, huffing and puffing, in front of Tobirama's desk, glaring.
"You're going to have to be more specific," Tobirama drawls, turning to his paperwork now that Izuna isn't here to help him come up up with an answer for the seals. And just Sasuke and Naruto in general.
"Haruno!" Madara hisses, slamming his hands on Tobirama's desk. He gives the Uchiha Clan Head an unimpressed look but puts his brush aside for the moment.
"Beyond the building of it, the hospital was outside my jurisdiction. You, Hashirama, and the hospital head doctor, Haruno, at this point, are the only ones able to authorize any change in the hospital practices. The academy is supervised mostly by Izuna, at this point, and you have the most interaction with him, as his older brother," Tobirama explains away like the rational shinobi he is. Madara looks far from impressed, unfortunately.
"Don't give me that. You just didn't want to deal with her. She's more annoying than Izuna when she gets something into her head." Madara's tone has shifted. Less accusatory, more exhausted. Tobirama hums.
"Not my fault you can't handle Haruno," he says lightly. Retaliation for the disruption.
"You- I can handle her just fine! You're the one that shoved her off on me!"
"I have too many village projects going on under my jurisdiction to take on Haruno's ideas." Tobirama gives Madara a look. "You, however, hardly do anything for this village when it was your idea in the first place."
"Your idiotic brother was the one to suggest the idea," the Uchiha grumbles.
"You enabled him." Madara stares at him narrowed eyed for a long moment before scoffing and lifting his weight off Tobirama's desk.
"Fine. You owe me though. Coffee." Then the clan head whirls around and stalking out of his office. Tobirama blinks after him for a moment and then furrows his brow. Did Madara just demand a date from him? He stares, flabbergasted, at the doorway for a moment longer before deciding that the Uchiha insanity is not what he wants to preoccupy himself with and returns determinedly to his paperwork.
(He gets little done, mind stuck on Madara and his demands and Haruno, ever infuriating.)
(Date or not, coffee sound nice. Even if it's with Madara.)

Madara: You Ass! I Demand A Date As Recompense!
Tobirama: whatever get out of my office
Tobirama: *two hours later* Wait What.
