The sun dipped below the freshly built walls of Konoha, casting long shadows over the Senju compound. Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, walked with a heavy grace, his calloused hands brushing the stone he had helped lay. Beside him, the air grew cold. His new bride, an Uchiha forced into this political union, walked in rigid silence, her eyes sharp with unhidden hostility toward the celebrating villagers. The grand wedding festivities had ended, but the tension remained. Hashirama’s usual bright smile faltered, replaced by a look of solemn understanding. He did not speak, merely guiding her toward their new home, respecting the silence that hung between them like a fragile treaty.
