"Senju-sama? Uchiha-sama?" Sakura Haruno asks, as sweet and innocent as she can manage. Tobirama is instantly suspicious, giving the pink-haired girl a narrow-eyed look. Izuna is just as on edge as him, though significantly more haggard in appearance. The Uchiha heir is apparently not used to staying up for several days in a row to figure out the answer to an experiment or, in this case, the puzzle of the three shinobi that appeared out of the blue specifically to make their lives a living hell.
"Haruno-san," he greets tensely. She offers a shy smile. Tobirama wants to call bullshit on that.
"Hokage-sama called me in for a meeting and asked me to get you two as well," she explains, still lingering in the doorway. His brow furrows as he exchanges a glance with Izuna. There's no reason for Hashirama to call a meeting, much less with the three of them. Their areas of expertise barely overlap at all.
"Lead the way," Izuna says tiredly as they drag themselves to their feet. Sakura smiles again, this one less shy and more grateful. She doesn't waste her breath on any more words and leads them faithfully to Hashirama's office. Tobirama's suspicions only increase when they get there. Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara are all already in the room. Sasuke and Naruto are standing in one corner, murmuring quietly to each other, while Madara stands grumpily in another. Hashirama is serious where he sits at his desk and that, more than anything else, makes Tobirama prepare for a fight.
"Tobirama, Izuna," Hashirama greets politely. Sasuke perks up from where he stands as Sakura trots over to their group. Naruto herds them from the corner, smiling the disarming smile he wields like a weapon.
"Hello everyone!" The blonde Uzumaki chirps with an excited clap of his hands. "I- we -have a bit of a story to tell and then all of us gotta deal with a bit of a problem."
"A bad stalk infecting the rest of the crop," Sakura adds.
"A weed," Sasuke says, bland.
"I hate both of you," Naruto informs cheerfully.
"Get on with it," Madara barks, having apparently grown impatient. Not that Tobirama can blame him- he's tense enough and the casualness of the three makes him only more jittery.
"You can shut right up," Sakura says with a not-very-nice smile. "See, we are the only reason you're here and sane, instead of under the control of a homicidal Venus flytrap intent on world domination or destruction, it varies day to day."
"...what." Izuna says and that sums everything up rather well.
