A/N: I've FINALLY had time to complete a chapter. Many apologies for being away, the past few months have been immensely important to me, as will the next few. I'll try to update whenever I can, I've already got the ending formulated in my mind :)

Hashirama was savouring every moment of it, Madara was positive on that. The man had showed up a few hours after his desperate plea, bearing an expression that doubtless resembled glee. Or rather glee and exhilaration meshed with a little sadism because it was blatantly obvious that Hashirama was enjoying seeing his long-time-rival-now-turned-to-friend squirming in a sea of fangirls with frightening fanaticism.

Thereafter, only due to Mito's imploring on the sheer stupidity of considering Madara's fanatical fangirls as potential suitors did Hashirama intervene.

"Make way, ladies, make way…" He wormed his way through the crowd, who were rather displeased at being shoved past.

"There your are! Get. Them. Off. Me. Now, preferably," Madara rolled his eyes.

"There, there Madara. No worries I've got it covered," Hashirama replied sheepishly and stared at the swarm of fervent, zealous Akimichis/ Hyuugas/ Inuzukas/ Sarutobis. To say he wasn't the slightest intimidated would be a blatant lie.

"Um.. hey Madara, do you want to just shunshin away. It's rather humilitating for a Hokage to you know, get trampled by a group of… you know…" Hashirama lowered his voice to a scarcely audible whisper.

Madara snorted: "scared?"

"Aren't you?"

"Of course I'm not."

"Then you shoo them off."

"Oh, you can't be serious!"

"Of course I am."

"I've got seven Hyuugas latched onto my left arm, just in case you haven't noticed. Shunshinning away isn't exactly the most feasible option. "

"Then what?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Hmmm… I think I have an idea."

"Good. It better be—"

"LADIES! Attention please! Let's all be civilized citizens of Konoha! I can fully sympathize with you fascination with my brilliant colleague Madara Uchiha but you do realise that a relationship needs to be consented by both sides, for the will of either should be respected and valued…"

"Hey Hashirama," Madara whispered, not without incredulity. "I didn't know you had some sense in you."

"…which is precisely why I'm organizing a matching event for our Madara in exactly one week, outside of his house, where you will each present yourselves to him and he himself will decide who suits him best! Now what are you waiting for? There is, after all, only one week to prepare!"

With that, close to a hundred hand signs were weaved and one by one, the swarm of fangirls shunshined out of the hot spring.

"Oh really, did you have to do that?!" Madara groaned.

A/N: Review if you're interested in more updates :) (Just realised, this chapter is counted as chapter 54 meaning that a lot of you who have reviewed on my message that was deleted a few err.. months ago wouldn't have been able to review so PMS me if you can't :) )

Question: What do you THINK will happen in the end?
