Story Making

Madara Uchiha stared at the crowd. They stared back. He’d never felt more awkward in his life.

It’s the first Christmas Eve since the foundation of Konoha. Streets were filled with decorations of all shapes and sizes as all clans pooled together various traditions and celebrated as one. Madara only planned to walk around, eat a big meal, and call it a day, then Tobirama dropped a red hat onto his head using Flying Raijin Jutsu. But he couldn’t say no to Hashirama’s depressed act when First Hokage asked him to play Santa for the village.

His heart sank when he thought of a little girl who ran away this afternoon when he tried to help out with her house’s decorations, but regrettably, he already accepted the request, so he’d complete it. Perfectly.

He didn’t know how to make the “ho-ho-ho” of Santas, but he imagined Hashirama sparring with him, then he laughed maniacally, “hahahahaha! Kids, come collect your presents!” The sound came off weird, but one bold kid stepped forward, tempted by the shiny box in his hand. Others soon flocked towards him after the boy received a present. When everyone got a gift and left with laughter, Tobirama came over and took the reins.

Tobirama, in reindeer outfit, teleported the sleigh street after street. Everywhere, Madara made his weird laugh and gave presents to children, wishing them Merry Christmas. He was greeted by surprised glances when people recognized him behind the beard. But in the end, children beamed and adults tentatively smiled, some even sh-oo-k his hand and made small talks with him.

When his enormous bag finally emptied, Madara's hand brushed against something in his pocket. He took it out, and asked his “reindeer” for a favour. Minutes later, his sleigh appeared in front of a house, and he quietly put the flower ring he picked up earlier onto the Christmas tree.

The little girl who once fled ran out from her house. She hugged him and thanked “Santa Madara” for returning the flower ring she lost after spending hours to make. His ran out of gifts, so he gave the girl a fire jutsu show as present. She stared in wonder and gave him gingerbread-men in return. He found himself smiling when he returned to the sleigh.

“Being liked feels good, eh? Just put on that idiotic smile of yours and they’ll love you,” Tobirama scoffed, but added when he scowled, “I know you like eavesdropping, but what you didn't hear that day, was that Brother made me promise to assist you to become Second Hokage. For the sake of the village, the least I can do is help improve your image. I hate to say it, honestly, but good job today.”

Later that night, in the secret room of Naka Shrine, Madara stared at the stone tablet. He read again the line that bugged him the past week.

Uchiha will be saved by the Infinite Tsukuoyomi.

“Nah, screw it. My family is bigger than that.”
