How could he have been so blind? How had he not realized that Madara was...?

[Naruto Uzumaki: Madara is actually a woman!]

[Mito Uzumaki: I shouldn't have thought so much about my question... Now I've lost my chance...]

[Hashirama Senju: I know Madara very well. It's impossible that she's a woman.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: I'm completely sure. Now everything makes sense... her behavior, her reactions... her obsession with Hashirama, that way of dramatizing absolutely everything...]

[Mito Uzumaki: Husband, Madara has been hiding it her whole life. Though I have no idea why she did it.]

[Tobirama Senju: Madara... a woman? No. There has to be some mistake. Izuna would've told me.]

[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: Without a doubt, Madara is a woman. It's impossible for my daughter Indra's reincarnation to be a man.]

[Hashirama Senju: M-Madara...?]

[Madara Uchiha: Tch... So you've finally figured it out. Yes, I'm a woman, so what? And Naruto! Are you saying being a woman makes me dramatic?!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Do I have to spell it out for you? All women have that trait in common... and not knowing how to drive, though that's a topic for another day.]

[Madara Uchiha: YOU...!!]

[Hashirama Senju: I-is it true...? So all this time...?]

[Madara Uchiha: And what if it is? Does that change anything? Will you stop seeing me as your rival just because I wasn't born with something hanging between my legs, like you expected?]

[Tobirama Senju: Honestly, you being a woman explains a lot... Now I understand your effeminate behavior at times. And your jealousy toward Mito...]

[Madara Uchiha: Shut your mouth, Tobirama, or I'll shut it for you!]

[Mito Uzumaki: I've wanted to ask you for a long time... why did you hide it?]

[Madara Uchiha: Because in this world, especially in the clan war era we lived through, being a woman meant being underestimated. No one would've followed me. No one would've feared me. No one would've respected me.]

[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: Madara... that's exactly what my daughter Indra did in our time. She formed the Uchiha Clan while appearing as a man.]

[Madara Uchiha: And she did well! Because that's the only way to survive in a world made by men, for men! I became the image this world feared because of it.]

[Hashirama Senju: ...Then... that time at the river...?]

[Madara Uchiha: Yes, you idiot. That's why I didn't get in the water with you.]

[Hashirama Senju: Madara... when we were kids, I always peed in the river in front of you...]

[Madara Uchiha: ...]

[Mito Uzumaki: As long as you're not still doing it, husband, everything's fine!!]

[Hashirama Senju: ...]

[Madara Uchiha: I wouldn't allow it either!]

[Hashirama Senju: But Madara... why didn't you ever tell me? We're friends. You could've trusted me.]

[Mito Uzumaki: Because Madara-chan has been in love with you since you were kids, husband.]

[Hashirama Senju: WHAT?!]

[Madara Uchiha: MITOOOOOO!! Stop saying nonsense! And don't ever call me Madara-chan again in your life!]

[Tobirama Senju: Hmp. I already knew Madara was a woman.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Really...?]

[Madara Uchiha: WHAT DID YOU SAY, TOBIRAMA?! YOU KNEW?!]

[Tobirama Senju: Ever since I first saw you, I always thought, "That guy is way too flamboyant to be a man." Today I finally found out why.]

[Madara Uchiha: You...! I swear I'll make you eat every word someday!]

[Tobirama Senju: Seriously though, the fact that you're a woman changes absolutely nothing. I still hate you, and my brother will probably still consider you his friend... though I'll never understand why.]

[Hashirama Senju: That's true, Madara! Don't worry about me, we're still friends! Nothing changes between us...!]

[Mito Uzumaki: That "nothing changes between us..." even hurt me, husband.]

[Hashirama Senju: Huh? Why? I don't get it.]

[Mito Uzumaki: I just said it a moment ago. Madara-chan has been in love with you since you were kids. Did you forget that already?]

[Madara Uchiha: Mito, stop talking about that! Don't make up nonsense!]

[Mito Uzumaki: I knew Madara was a woman from the very day Konoha was founded, husband...]

[Madara Uchiha: No! Don't tell that story, Mito! It's way too embarrassing!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Do it, Mito. Don't hold back.]

[Mito Uzumaki: Fufu~ If you insist... That day, Hashirama sent flowers to Madara as thanks for leaving behind the Uchiha-Senju grudge...]

[Tobirama Senju: Oh, I remember that! I told my brother the Uchiha should've sent the flowers. But he insisted on doing it anyway...]

[Hashirama Senju: What's wrong with sending flowers to a friend...?]

[Madara Uchiha: ...]

[Mito Uzumaki: The flowers came with a note that said, "So you may always bloom by my side." At the time I didn't think much of it... until I learned Madara was a woman.]

[Tobirama Senju: Now that I know, it sounds like a love confession... I just got chills imagining Madara and my brother together...]

[Mito Uzumaki: I went to the newly built Uchiha Clan Compound to deliver some documents Hashirama needed signed. When I arrived, she didn't look like a man at all... she was staring at the flowers, lost in them, with a silly, happy expression.]

[Madara Uchiha: Mito! Fight me right now! I won't let you keep embarrassing me like this!]

[Hashirama Senju: Wait... was there really a note like that? I didn't write anything like that.]

[Madara Uchiha: Huh...? It wasn't you...?]

[Hashirama Senju: I bought the flowers from a Yamanaka Clan shop near the Hokage Mansion. I guess they added the note thinking they were for my wife.]

[Mito Uzumaki: Husband, please stop talking. Every word must be crushing Madara-chan inside. Even I feel worse than I can explain. And this was supposed to be a funny moment.]

[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama...! I hate you...! Mmph—!]

[Hashirama Senju: Huh...? But Madara... I...]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Case closed. I'll log in tomorrow to keep bothering Madara. I still need to bring up Obito.]

[Madara Uchiha: Wait, brat! We had a deal!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: But I already have Indra's chakra...]

[Madara Uchiha: That's...]

[The group leader, Naruto Uzumaki, has disconnected.]

Naruto closed the screen with a satisfied smile.

Who would've imagined that Madara was actually a woman?

Maybe he should've suspected it the moment he found out Sasuke was actually Reika.

As for the promise to talk about Obito the next day...

That was just a strategy. A way to make Madara feel the pressure of having to offer something in exchange for his silence.

Now that Madara's biggest secret was out, there was only one more at risk: the Eye of the Moon Plan.

If Naruto revealed the truth about Obito, the whole plan would collapse, and there would be no way for it to work if it ever became necessary.

Madara had to act. She had to negotiate.

And for Naruto, everything was going exactly according to his keikaku.
