Summary
Uchiha Madara, Lord of the Dead—overworked, overstressed, and sleep-deprived—receives a notice that he is going to replace Zeus Butsuma in 18 years’ time, and nope, he is NOT adding more headache on his plate.
The Moirai also mentioned one Senju Hashirama, so that means he's the one who's going to put a stop to all of this nonsense, right? THEN WHERE IN BLAZES IS THIS SENJU, HUH?! Because his ass better not wait for 18 years to fix this Fate-damned mess!
Little did he know that he's going to be reunited with someone from his past: a childhood friend—one who used to pester him for pomegranates every other meeting for some infuriating reason—now all grown up.
And oh no, he’s hot!
Senju Hashirama, for his part, is over the moon at this fated meeting with his long-lost best friend (and crush! But no one needs to know!) after centuries of separation, so it's high time to finally be proactive!
He is going to woo the hell out of Madara!
Oh, Mother and Father do not approve? Madara is not popular with the mortals? Not an Olympian god? No throne?
No problem!
Eh? Prophecy? What prophecy?

Summary
When Madara found out that he’d been coughing up flowers for Hashirama, he was devastated at first.
A chronic and painful affliction resulting in death due to unrequited love—that's Hanahaki-byō.
Death.
Unrequited love.
Death.
Well, he's not the least bit afraid of dying. In fact, an invitation to the Danse Macabre was even tempting! But like hell was he going without the world remembering his name!
And what better way to secure himself a place in history—aside from being one of the greatest shinobi of his generation, of course—than to initiate the research on Hanahaki?
He will document his disease progression until the very end, and they will praise him as the shinobi who dedicated his life to helping those with the same affliction! A service to the people, for the people. For science. For glory.
For Uchiha Madara's legacy!!!
(Dear gods, he's so benevolent. The world should be so thankful.)
Now all he had to do was get the clan on board with his idea and for Hashirama to reject his confession.
