Summary
“That’s impossible,” Tobirama spat. “That wound was fatal. Not even our best healers would have been able to save him.”
“Then it is very fortunate for you, Tobirama,” Madara said slowly, dangerously, “that I did not call for help from one of your healers.”
Once again there was a pause of silence.
“The Uchiha are not known for their healing abilities,” Hashirama finally said.
“No, they are not,” Madara agreed easily enough. “Thankfully, the world has all kinds of people in it.”
A small smile pulled at Sakura’s lips as she thought back to the day she’d said those very same words to him.

Summary
Turning onto her side, Sakura curled up against Madara’s bare chest. Inhaling deeply, she held onto his scent. It brought to mind images of bonfires alighting the night in the deep, dark forests. The smell soothed her, made her feel at peace. Sighing with contentment, Sakura pressed her cheek against Madara’s chest and listened to the beating of her husband’s heart.
A warm feeling pooled low within her belly. Husband. Her husband. Sakura thought it had been hard enough on her self control when they’d been unmarried and forced by society to remain chaste. Now though, that he was hers and she was his, it felt all but impossible to keep her hands off of him.
