The Hokage tower was empty this late at night, shinobi filling out to return home to their families, yet Madara remained at his desk working. It had been one meeting after another lately, paperwork pilled up on his desk with seemingly no end. Even if peace was wonderful and he didn't have to worry about his brothers dying anymore, there were some days when he wished he didn't have to work so much.

Madara sighed as he rubbed his eyes, lifting his gaze from the scroll to look out the dark window.
