There is a spot of dried ash on the table from where Hashi had placed Rin's femur. She didn't dig up the whole body - just enough to tether her spirit before summoning her. Madara rolls his eyes and helps her toss the bone back into the grave.
"I cannot believe you disinterred her body," Madara says. He shovels with purpose, throwing dirt onto the hole in the grave. "Feckless! Irresponsible! Impulsive! You of all people should know better than to engage in this sort of lunacy."
"Well I mean," Hashi shovels another mound of dirt, "I am two for two currently."
"So you modified the jutsu to bring her back to life fully?"
"Mm." Hashi shovels more dirt. "Instead of an undead zombie, she'd come back as flesh and blood. I could do that by modifying my Mokuton."
"Creating life out of chakra, I see." Another shovelful of dirt. "It would have been an interesting experiment."
"Well I wrote out the hand seals and the summoning formation, if you want to see it."
Madara nods. "I've always taken you for someone who relied on raw power alone. I'd be curious to see how you apply actual theory with it."
They pat the ground flat and head back home.

"Izuna." Madara and Hashi slip off their sandals. "We are home."
"Daddy!" Their daughter runs to the door. "I brought that lady back to life, Daddy!"
Hashi and Madara whirl around.
"Um." Nohara Rin clutches a towel around her body. "Hello."
In the kitchen, Izuna scowls.
