Prologue: Dark Flames Ascending, a New Hokage Emerges!

Konoha, Valley of the End, Hi No Kuni:

The sound of kunai and explosions sounded everywhere as rain poured from the Heavens. Fire, both Black and Red, filled the land everywhere as chaos ensued. Two men, wearing what appeared to be Crimson Samurai Armor, were throwing punches and kicks at each other at inhuman speeds. One man had long, spiky, black hair, with red eyes that had three tomoes inside them, was currently shooting a large fire projectile towards another man who had long, silky black hair and brown eyes, which was blocking said projectile with a giant wooden wall. The former of the two was named Madara Uchiha, the leader of the Uchiha Clan, and the latter was Hashirama Senju, The Clan Head of the Senju.

The conflict between the two had arisen about a month ago, when Konoha nominated Hashirama as the Shodaime Hokage. Madara knew what would happen if Hashirama became Hokage. The man was kind, and, while Madara had liked that about his former Best-Friend, he also knew that the Senju was too soft to be an effective leader. He may have been a brilliant tactician, but his rule would give the council too much leeway and would eventually push their clans to the point of extinction, simply because they were jealous of how much power and influence they would have over them. Once both the Uchiha and Senju were down to their last heirs the council would begin to pamper the clan heirs. This would slowly put them under their thumb and, eventually, they would be able to manipulate them for their personal gain. Eventually, because of the influence the Uchiha and Senju had, the civilian council would have total control over the political sphere and they could, potentially, use the shinobi who adored the clans as an army force to strengthen their hold on Konoha. While this could be great for the civilians, this would tremendously affect the power the ninja clans held. If this were to occur, then the shinobi would be mere servants and potentially have no rights. And guess what? They would be none the wiser, right up until it bit them in the ass and was too late to do anything about. This is why the civilian council, which Hashirama created in the Village's Constitution, voted him to be Hokage; the Senju was too trusting. Oh, Madara very well knew how corrupt the rich civilians could be if power were given to them. He wouldn't allow this to happen.

But the biggest problem was perhaps the Uchiha clan itself. They were tired of fighting and wanted peace with the Senju's and, as such, supported Hashirama to be the Shodai. When he tried to warn the clan, they turned their backs on him and appointed a new leader instead. HIM! The CLAN FOUNDER AND LEADER, betrayed by his own followers! To say Madara was pissed was an understatement. Not only did his ex-best friend not listen to him, but his own people ignored his warnings! Why could they not see what he clearly knew? The Clan Elders in the Hyuuga Clan were a prime example of this, using their branch members and leaders as puppets.

Exiled by his own clan, Madara had left Konoha, feeling betrayed by everyone there. He would not allow Konoha to be corrupted by such fools! He vowed to return and ensure Konoha didn't become a cesspool of filth! He will make Konoha a strong military state, just as it was intended!

For the past month, Madara had been plotting to attack Hashirama on the eve before he would officially become Hokage, which was December 5th. By then, the village would be completely operational and, as such, Hashirama would be officially put in the next day to show that Konohagakure no Sato was an official village. But before he could attack him, The Uchiha Founder needed a powerful distraction, a tailed beast, a Bijuu if you will. But he needed a specific Bijuu, one that would force the Senju's hand and drain most of his chakra and leave the soft fool weak enough to be killed off by Madara. And as fate decreed, the raven-haired warrior got just that, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, mightiest of the nine chakra beasts. On the day of the attack, Madara used his Eien no Mangekyo Sharingan (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan) he earned by stealing his brother's Mangekyo eyes ages ago, on the unsuspecting mountain-sized fox and, as such, was able to hypnotize him to go on a rampage against Konoha.

Madara came alone at first and challenged Hashirama to a duel over the title of Hokage. The Senju head, shocked by Madara's betrayal, had no choice but to meet him head on. Hashirama had ordered him to stand down, but knew it wouldn't happen. And so, the battle began and had so far lasted for six hours, raging ferociously between the two warriors.

(Present…)

"Katon: Giant Flame Dragon Missile!" Madara shot out a giant white flame dragon at Hashirama. Hashirama, expecting this, countered with, "Mokuton: Wooden Wall Technique!" With that, a giant wall of wood rose up and kept the flames at bay…until the dragon ripped right through it and hit Hashirama, who turned out to be a wood clone...

"Damn it Madara, why are you doing this?" roared the Wood User, "Why have you forsaken the very village you helped to create?" Madara heatedly responded: "Fool! You are too soft to lead this village! Your policies would ruin this village from eventual corruption by the very council you created! Konoha needs a strong, iron-willed person in order to flourish! You may be strong, but your policies will only ruin Konoha in the end." "You're the fool Madara! It is you who will bring us to ruin! As Hokage, I must stop you!" countered Hashirama. "Then we have nothing more to discuss, you will die here. And by the way you bastard, you aren't even Hokage yet!" Madara threw several explosive tag kunai at Hashirama, who quickly used a wooden barrier technique to avoid the explosion. Madara, seeing this as his chance bit his thumb, wiped the blood on his hand and formed several hand seals and shouted, "Kuchiyose No Jutsu: Kyuubi No Kitsune!" Suddenly a giant roar was heard and, with that, appeared the legendary Kyuubi, with Sharingan in its eyes. "Why go so far as to use a Bijuu Madara? Are you that determined in our village's ruin?" shouted Hashirama. "I told you, I will prevent Konoha from becoming the scum of the elemental nations! If it means I have to kill you, destroy Konoha and rebuild it to do so, then so be it! Besides this isn't aimed at Konoha…it's aimed you dumbass!'" The Sharingan user shouted and evilly thought. "Attack!" With that, the Kitsune Bijuu and charged up its Demon –Tail Ball, a gigantic ball of pure chakra composed of 80% Dark and 20% Light Chakra. If the Demon-Tail were big enough, it could, in theory, wipe out an entire country the size of Hi no Kuni. At its current size, it would be more than enough to wipe out Konoha, let alone a human being. 'Kuso! If that ball hits me I'm dead!' thought the Senju lord.

After forming forty-three hand signs, Hashirama yelled out, "Mokuton: Forest of Eden!" With that, hundreds of giant trees formed a wall around him. The Menacing Ball fired and hit the trees, creating massive explosion, creating a giant scar on the land that would be later remembered by many as 'The Valley of The End.'

The hypnotized Kyuubi, seeing that its prey wasn't dead or hurt, rushed in at the wood user, determined to eat the shinobi, but, unfortunately for him, Hashirama was prepared. "Mokuton: Massive Heavenly Fist!" Out popped a huge fist made out of hard redwood and punched Kyuubi in the face, sending him several feet back in pain. As this was going on, Madara activated his EMS (Eien No Mangekyo Sharingan) and prepared to activate Amaterasu to finish him off with the burning black flames. However, what Madara didn't notice was that the Senju warrior knew he was there and used a wood clone to covertly counter him before he could activate that destructive ability.

(Madara POV)

'Just a few more seconds and then I'll have him' thought the Uchiha. He closed his right eye and it began to bleed. However, before he could open it, he heard movement from his left. As his head turned, his face met Hashirama's clone's fist and was promptly sent flying, but not before burning the clone with the black flame. 'Kuso…He really hasn't lost his touch, as he won't let me use any of my eyes powers at all. I really need to stop being so damn arrogant sometimes…' Madara thought to himself as he saw first-hand just why the wood user was so feared with that Jutsu. He was kicking Kyuubi's ass with it and then some! Not only that, but Hashirama was preparing to ensnare the beast once and for all. 'I have to hold him off just a bit longer. My Sharingan can see that his chakra levels are depleting, but not as fast as I want it to go down. I need to make it go down faster, but make sure my chakra levels don't get too low in the process.' Madara headed off towards Hashirama, getting ready to make the Senju bastard work really hard.

(Hashirama's POV, Same Time)

The Kyuubi was definitely quite the challenge. Every time he would get near the fox to restrain it, the bastard got away and made it harder for him. 'Fucking Madara, he's making me use a lot of my chakra to take this fox down. It was a distraction after all…to weaken me.' Hashirama Mused. Quickly deciding to end this, he formed several hand seals to finish Kyuubi's interference once and for all. "Mokuton: Wood Impalement!" Out from the ground rose several wooden spikes impaling the demon fox's sides, causing the Kyuubi to roar in pain and move away to avoid the wooden spikes. The Shodaime appointee then followed up with, "Mokuton: Bijuu Restraint Technique- Kakkuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands! (A/N: The Jutsu name slightly changed then the original because the technique hasn't been around for sixty years like the original Jutsu says in the name.) He knew the nine-tailed fox couldn't move away as fast anymore because of his previous technique crippling the demon's movement. As the technique was called, Hashirama's crystal shined brightly and golden pillars of wood wrapped around the beast's body, but before he could complete it…. "Suiton: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Madara sent out a large water dragon at the Wood User, who had no choice but to dodge the attack, only to meet several shuriken in his side and a kick to the ribs, sending him flying in pain.

(Madara/Original POV)

'Heh, that'll show him not to overestimate me…' Madara looked over at the Kyuubi, only for him to see the monster was wrapped fully in pillars, asleep and free from his influence. 'Fucking hell…oh well I still weakened Hashirama-Teme quite a bit' Madara smiled in satisfaction, only to see Hashirama stand up and charge at him with three wood clones following him, each with a wooden spear for their right hand. 'Close Range, Eh? Probably to keep me from using Amaterasu…not looking at my eyes either so Tsukuyomi won't work either. Susanno's out of the question, as that actually takes the most time to do. So that leaves…' "Kamui", whispered Madara. As he said that, a giant vortex erupts from his left eye, sucking the wood clones into his EMS, leaving only a stunned Hashirama. "What the hell was that technique?" Hashirama demanded. "Heh that, Hashi-Teme, was Kamui, my Jikukan- Ninjutsu (Space- Time Ninjutsu), and it's very special. Unlike ninjutsu, which uses elemental techniques like fire, wood, water, lightning, earth, and wind, Jikukan Ninjutsu warps the dimension around me, allowing me to suck others into dimensions or even travel in them to get to a place quicker. You underestimated me old friend, but now it's time we finish this. I know you're low on chakra and, quite frankly, so am I, as Kamui takes a little more chakra out of me then most techniques. Both of us have enough for one more move, so let's finish this, once and for all!"

"I couldn't agree more Madara. I really am truly sorry it came down to this. I wish this didn't have to happen." Hashirama replied solemnly and charged at Madara creating a wooden sword. Madara followed suit with a lightning- enhanced Katana he summoned from the seal on his wrist and activated a special seal, one Hashirama never saw as he charged. Within a second, the two past each other, and it was over…or so it seemed. Madara collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood, as part of the wooden sword used by the Senju leader was embedded into his stomach. "I'm sorry Madara, but this is where you die. If you weren't an Uchiha, or I a Senju, then perhaps, we could have stayed friends. Farewell." Hashirama walked off, not seeing Madara grin in victory.

"Fool!"

SPLACK

Hashirama stopped moving, eyes wide, and looked down, only to see Madara's Katana in his chest, just 1 mm from his heart and the veins.

"W-what? *Cough* H-how did you…?"

"How did I survive? You idiot, did you really think I wouldn't come completely prepared? Just before I fought you, I placed a seal on my chest, storing 10% of my chakra away, for one last genjutsu to fake my death on the off chance you were able to strike past my defenses on that blow. Turns out, I was right to do so. Farewell, Hashirama. In all seriousness you fought well. You earned my respect." Madara smiled, slightly sad that he had to kill his former friend, but happy he was able to protect the village from Hashirama's fatal mistake, even if it was innocent.

"Heh, it seems I lost then. So that means you're Hokage now huh? *Sigh* Please, just p-promise me, you will protect the village." Hashirama stated, albeit weakly.

"Hey, I may not be as kind as you are, but that doesn't mean I'll be a bastard to everyone." Madara chuckled. This was the first time in a long time Madara really smiled or laughed with Hashirama.

"Just making sure, *cough* *cough* before I go, take this and give it to my Brother, Tobirama, as well as this letter to him and the council, explaining that you are Hokage and not myself .I made this in the event that I should lose. While Tobirama will not like it, he'll accept it, so long as you don't make a move on my clan", Hashirama glared at him after saying this.

"Please, after what my Clan did to me, I wouldn't try it. Hell, if anything, I have more respect for your clan. Besides, I have my own clan problems to deal with." Madara replied somewhat bitterly when talking about his clan.

"Heh, I have no doubts, farewell Hashirama-Teme." Madara said sadly.

"F-F-Farewell Madara-baka." Hashirama smiled "Protect the villagers, ok? They are the village, along with our shinobi." Hashirama smiled and then passed on.

"For the first time ever, you and I actually agree on something Hashi-Teme." Madara said as he laid down his body and gave him a proper burial.

For the first time in 15 years since Izuma Uchiha's Death, Madara cried for the loss of his former friend. Ironic really, how the two were extreme rivals and hated each other's guts, and yet were friends in the end. The world truly is a cruel bitch, isn't it? After a minute, Madara composed himself and looked at the still asleep Kyuubi, wrapped up in the wood chains.

"Now to deal with you…."

(20 Minutes Later)

While low on chakra, Madara was successfully able to seal the Kyuubi in a temporary storage seal scroll. However, due to lack of chakra, the scroll would only last a day at best. He needed one of those new ration pills fast, so he could put in a permanent sealing item. Not too hard, considering the Uchiha clan were very competent sealers, though not as good as the Uzumaki's, which Madara could not contact as he didn't know where their village was yet, as he had no intel on it yet whatsoever, other than it was somewhere near the land of whirlpool.

Madara, however, was an exceptional seal master, even for Uzumaki standards. While not as good as the Uzukage of Uzushiogakure, he could easily outmatch just about anyone in seals. It was his seal mastery that he learned how to use Kamui in the first place, though no seals were necessary after copying them with his Sharingan. It's also the reason why he was able to seal the Kyuubi no Kitsune

After a quick break, Madara gathered his scroll and his war fan lying on the field and walked towards Konohagakure.

"Now it's time to deal with the bastard civilian councilmen once and for all…"

A new age was rising for Konoha. One that would change the shinobi world forever.
