*First time making a naruto FF even though I havent watched the anime yet, if I have any mistakes please feel free to point it out*
"Say, Madara, where are we?" Young Hashirama asked as he looked around, not knowing where they are?
"I dont know, I am only following you, did you get lost you idiot!?" Young Madara exclaimed then bashed the young Hashirama on the head.
*Bam!
"Ouch!" Hashirama rubbed his head from pain.
Madara sighed and curiously looked around, he has been in this forest for a long time and almost memorized the place but now, everything seems unfamiliar with him.
"Should we go back?" Hashirama asked as he still rubbed his head from pain.
"No, lets explore for now" Madara said.
"Okay," Hashirama nodded and they both continued venturing deep into the forest.
"Strange, I cant seem to remember this forest being here" Hashirama commented.
"Yeah, there doesnt seem to be any genjutsu used here" Madara replied, on his guard if there was any danger.
As they went further and further, they seemed to hear noise coming deep into the forest, Hashirama and Madara looked at each other and nodded, they then slowly sneaked towards the noise, and the closer they got the more they recognized the noise was pleasing to the ear and they knew it was coming from an instrument that they could not recognize.
Hashirama and Madara continued moving towards the sound and after a few minutes, they saw a large open field, and there in the middle, they saw a huge log house that was very breath taking from its beauty, then not too far away from the log house, they saw a mountain and beneath it was large clear lake with water falls, Madara who looked at the other side of the fields saw a large farm field, he also saw live stocks on the other side of a fence beside the farm field.
"What is this place?" Hashirama exclaimed, he had never seen a breath taking sight before, Madara could not help but nod in agreement.
"Hmm? Its rare to have visitors these days" A voice then suddenly came from behind them making the two shiver, they immediately jumped away as fast as possible.
'Who is it!? I didnt even notice him?' Madara had sweat on his forehead as he look at the young man in front of them, he was sitting on a tree branch.
He saw a tall, slender, and good-looking young man with fair skin and a stern expression. His eyes are bright and sharp, amber in color with yellow pupils, letting off a golden glow, His dark brown hair is styled in a windswept fashion with a longer fringe that hangs from the right side of his face. It fades to amber brown at the tips and is pulled back in a long ponytail reaching his waist, he was smiling while looking at them, on his hand he was carrying something like an instrument. (A/N: I took the appearance of Zhong Li from Genshin impact)
"Who are you?" Madara asked while on guard.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Tanaka, the village chief of this village!" Tanaka opened up his arms as he looked at his village proudly.
"Village?" Hashirama lowered his guard, for some reason, he felt he could trust this guy.
"Yes, although, im the only one living here, I still consider it my village" Tanaka scratched his chin from embarrasment, Tanaka then glance at then and still could not believe who he had met.
Yes, as anyone would guess, Tanaka is not from this world, he was an otaku, a 40 year old sage, he also works as an manga artist, novel writer and an animator, and he died because of the cooperation of truck-kun and a kid.
This seemingly minimum requirements that has been fulfilled was the reason Tanaka was reincarnated.
He didnt meet any god, but he has a system, and unlike the other systems which makes their holders become their slave, his system was very lax, he only had three mission, one was protect the shinobi world from the otherworld invaders.
Second was to create his own village and make it the most powerful village, and the last is to make himself strong
Tanaka knew as an otaku, he had the enough information to know where he was who his enemy was, those other world invaders would be the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and they are one hell of a strong enemy.
Well, after that, the system was very generous to give him a starter pack package and what he got was of course, the village and his own land.
The system said that it was not any part of any countries such as land of fire, no, its far away from his village, it could be said, The system gave him his own small country, and so, he was also considered as its Daimyo.
It has been half a year since he arrived at this place and he didnt know which time line he arrived in but he prayed he didnt get reincarnated on boruto timeline, and yes, thankfully, it was the earliest timeline which made him very happy when he met Hashirama and Madara.
"Hmm, you should be proud of this place Tanaka, you wont see a place like this so often, by the way nice to meet you im Hashirama" Hashirama introduced himself.
"Im Madara" Madara also introduced himself.
"Nice to meet the both of you" Tanaka said with a smile, he then jumped down from the tree branch he was sitting on, he gently landed on the ground seemingly the wind gently carrying its precious child.
"Come inside for now, you guys are my first guests, I will tell you more about this place" Tanaka invited them as he walked towards the log house.
"Okay" Hashirama and Madara didnt refuse since they are also curious about this place.
As Hashirama and Madara entered the village, they could not help but take a deep breath.
'Clean air' Is what they found, there is no smell of blood, no smell of war, everything felt peaceful in this place.
This is the one Hashirama had longed for, he felt at ease.
The trio entered the log mansion house and Hashirama and Madara could not help but curiously look around, the place was cozy, they could see many decorations but most of them seemed to be a painting?
Madara stared at a poster that took his interest and he could not help but be surprised to see the man had a sharingan, the eyes that his clan has.
He carefully observed the man, it was a fairy tall man with fair complexion, he was wearing a robe with red clouds on it and crows with sharingan around him.
What surprised Madara was, the young man had mangekyo sharingan, something that he didnt have right now.
He then noticed a writing at the bottom.
"Itachi Uchiha" he murmured and he doesnt seem to know any itachi on their clan, he then turned his head and look at Hashirama.
Hashirama was also staring at a poster, it was a woman with red hair and she was very beautiful, Hashirama just continued to stare to it seemingly in love with the figure he had seen, after a while he snapped out from his stupor and noticed the writing on the poster.
"Mito Uzumaki huh?" Hashirama nodded.
"Are you guys done looking around? come have a coffee" Tanaka called out to them.
He was very proud on his drawings as a manga artist, he did not only draw the naruto characters but the characters from the other anime also, he did it on his free time when he is bored.
"Yeah" Madara and Hashirama nodded and followed Tanaka towards the guest room.
As they entered the guest room, the two were surprised to see many sculptures, which Tanaka introduced as 'Figurines' with different sizes, there were some small ones and there were some life like ones.
Hashirama and Madara were amazed, they inspect one of the figurines, it was a man also sculpting another sculpture.
"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor" A word written beneath the stone of the figurine, there are also many figurines around but the two sat on the chair and drank the coffee Tanaka served them.
*Bleh!
"Its bitter" Hashirama exclaimed.
"That is disgraceful Hashirama" Madara scolded him, he then drank the coffee, forcing himself to drink the bitter coffee even if he doesnt like it.
"No need to force yourselves, here's the sugar" Tanaka chuckled and handed them a plate full of sugar cubes.
Hashirama immediately put a huge amount of sugar into his coffee.
While Madara only added a few, he somewhat taken a liking on the bitter taste of the coffee.
"Now, is there anything you want to ask about this place?" Tanaka asked.
"Yes, I would like to ask, when did you build this place, If I remember this place didnt exist before" Madara asked.
"Ehm.. It has always been here, you just didnt notice it since this place is hidden" Tanaka replied.
"..."
"Then what clan did you come from?" Hashirama asked.
"I didnt come from any clans" Tanaka replied.
"Then where did you come from?" Hashirama asked.
"From a far away land" Tanaka replied.
'This isnt going anywhere' Madara thought.
"Earlier, How did you appear behind us without us noticing you?" Madara asked.
"Well, I stood up, and then did it like whoosh! then Swoosh! and swish!" Tanaka explained with his body language.
"..."
After a futile time of talking to each other, Madara got so little answers that he wanted, but on the other side, Tanaka said he had few secret techniques with him that they could try to learn.
But that few secret techniques that Tanaka had dumbfounded the both of them, its not only a few but f*ck ton of them, its not a room full of secret techniques, but a house full of secret techniques.
Madara and Hashirama could not help but take a deep breath, all of it is not a legit secret technique right?
