“But to be a shinobi is synonymous with pain and death?”
“Yes.” He spoke with heavy certainty.
“No,” she refuted. They’d stopped walking again and stood looking at each other.
He looked surprised.
“No,” she repeated. “No. I’ve watched the shinobi children play, and the sparring between friends, and they are a joy to behold. There’s beauty and competence and so much talent! Shinobi are capable of being so much more than just killers. Shinobi have the best healers in all the land, send the quickest messages, are capable of building houses in a day. There is, somewhere out there, a shinobi who shares the skills of the first Hokage and the first Hokage built the forest! Why is that shinobi fighting rather than building basic houses for refugees and elaborate temples to the glory of the gods? Where are our farm fields and our decorative parks? Why is Konoha’s reputation that of the first shinobi village and not as the most beautiful city in the world? Why does Konoha pay tribute to the Daimyo rather than the Daimyo paying the village for the honor of hosting it in his lands?”
She was panting. And with that realization she winced. At this point, Kakashi would probably consider her a traitor as well. She took a deep breath and let it out as she folded her hands, and lowered her eyes.
“Well, now you have to marry me.”
Her eyes jerked back up to his. He seemed to be smiling, although it was tempered with grief.
“There have been arguments about who should be the next Hokage. I’m one of the options because I’m strong enough and old enough, with famous enough students, but none of us who are, want the position or have any particular vision of what to do with the power. You have the vision. If you marry me, I’ll accept the position, and you can guide it.”

He couldn't help his own lips from twitching upwards. This was the reason Konoha had been founded. To protect and nurture the next generation. Somewhere along the way that ideal had been lost to time. But Tobirama would bring it back, kicking and screaming if he had to. The past has already passed but there's always hope for the future.

Summary
Tobirama slowly lifted the blanket back up, revealing the child to have neither magically dissapeared, nor spontaneously started making sense in the time he'd spent wishing them to.
Slight correction to his earlier statment; There was a small, unfamiliar Hatake child laying in Tobirama's bed.
Or, 6 year old Kakashi gets zapped back to the warring states. Tobirama picks him up by the scruff and immediatley invokes finders keepers rules

"Oh." Kakashi stared at Hashirama, a sudden understanding lighting up his eyes. "You're stupid."
Hashirama gaped.
Tobirama snorted, the noise seeming to surprise even himself as his hand immediately came up to clamp over his mouth.
Hashirama's silent, offended gaping grew louder in it's silence as his jaw dropped even lower.
"Ah—!" Kakashi blinked hard, hands coming up to cover his own mouth in what was almost a little mimicry of Tobirama. "I mean— You aren't stupid, Hokage-sama, I mean um— Hashirama-sama— my apologies, I didn't mean to— I mean, it just kind of—"
Behind him, hand still over his mouth, Tobirama had begun to tremble.
"Tobirama! We have had this child for all of five minutes and you've already managed to INFECT HIM!"
"I'm sorry Hashirama-sama, I didn't mean it, you really aren't— I mean—"
Hashirama walked over and picked Kakashi up.
"UM."
"I am confiscating you."
"UM???"
"No more children in the house Otouto! Not if you're going to turn them against me!"
"That's hardly fair—" Tobirama managed between what Hashirama knew was his brother's own version of silent, near unnoticeable laughter.
"No! Clan head rules! Me and Kakashi are going to introduce him to the clan while you stay here with your miserable tea."
Kakashi began to squirm in his hold, kicking lightly at empty air. "Don't worry, the bad man can't feed you silly ideas about your great and wonderful cousin anymore, my sweet child." Hashirama sang, petting his head.
Kakashi stared at him in disbelief, kicking harder.
Tobirama's silent laughter was quickly approaching being audible, his little brother having to lean against the counter to help support him through his shakes.

So you two are soulmates?" Hashirama asked, sounding both hesitant and excited, looking between the two men and their Heartlings. Madara's Heartling - Rama-kun - had taken up a defiant stance on his human's shoulder, his tail flicking about in what would have been an intimidating manner had he not been small enough to fit fully in an adult man's palm, like all Heartlings were. Small red eyes were glaring at everyone who might dare intrude upon his human. Madara looked a bit uncomfortable to be the center of scrutiny and ... sad? Uncertain?
Oh! Tobirama was still technically engaged to another, wasn't he? Well, that just wouldn't do. Hadn't Hashirama offered before a chance to find a way to cancel the engagement? There might be a chance after all, for him and Madara.
"Yes," Madara answered quietly, hesitantly, eyes looking away from Tobirama and Tobirama-
"Oh, thank kami," he breathed out and all but sprang to his feet, startling Izuna and Toka away from him. The white haired man marched over to his opposite, meeting surprised and hopeful Sharingan eyes that were scrutinizing him for a possible lie. For the best, probably, so that they don't waste any time on convincing of truthfulness and the such. "I had been wondering if fate was cruel. You cannot imagine my relief and joy at finding out these news. I may not be Uchiha but I am not sure if my heart would have been able to take my longing for you for long. Perhaps fate is the exact opposite of cruel. Could you imagine if this had not happened and I actually got married? Unacceptable."
"You ... You want this?" Tobirama tilted his head to the side, surprised by how surprised Madara sounded, so completely in contrast with the man as he usually knew him.
"Of course. I know I wasn't direct but I did just imply that I am in love with you, Madara. It was ... far too easy to fall, really. You being my soulmate is a blessing I could have never asked for. Well, I could have and I would have but you weren't exactly fond of me until very recently."

Day 7: Free Day
Its unhinged glinting eyes slid over the white Senju as it swooped past and in that moment the Senju Demon’s glowing ruby orbs turned and looked it straight in the eyes, furious and utterly terrifying.
The ghost stopped short, petrified.

The Wraith dived straight for the little brown-white haired one and it bolted in terror, crying hysterically as it dove behind the Senju Demon, clutching at the empty air that was the Demon’s arm. The Wraith closed in, mouth wide and the Senju's hand flew out in a two fingered sign his face thunderous, and the Wraith burst.
Madara's ears were ringing in his skull. That was impossible. It was not possible. The living couldn’t affect the dead. Madara knows, he had tried. Yet the Senju Demon— who Madara realized, eyes widening, was able to see ghosts, it hadn’t been a fluke last time Senju Tobirama had actually, really, stared a ghost down and it had fled — had done the impossible and had utterly destroyed a Wraith with a single blow.
Madara watched with wide eyes as the sandy haired ghost with the little cross on its cheek and the two-toned brown and white ghost emerged from behind the Senju Demon, the Senju Demon who could see them and who had saved them. Madara inhaled sharply in disbelief.
The little brown and white haired one twittered and flitted around, eyes searching its surroundings still unsettled as it wrung its hands together anxiously. It turned its head hiding its waving chocolaty brown locks and Madara’s eyes widened in shock.
Senju Tobirama. It looked like Senju Tobirama, he inhaled shakily, mind reeling. He glanced at the sandy haired one with a sinking feeling in his stomach. Hashirama had had three brothers after all, and two of them had died before they’d even reached the age of ten. They were Hashirama’s little brothers.
And, he faltered, drawing himself together, they were Senju Tobirama’s little brothers too.
Madara called for a retreat.
