Summary
The absence of heaven is hell.
One year after Hashirama watches Madara die in his arms from Hanahaki Disease, he’s transported back in time to the founding of the village. Somehow, his second chance ends worse than his first.
Hashirama feels his gaze grow faraway as he remembers that fateful day. “I watched you die violently in my arms,” he whispers. “You told me you loved me. How could you put me through that if you loved me?”
You’ve done this to me twice now.
“Because the alternative would have been much, much worse,” Madara says, his voice clear and filled with conviction. “I did it because I loved you. If I hadn’t, you would have lost faith in the village. I would have jeopardized the future of the village, and I couldn’t bear to tear away the one good thing left in your life.”
