The next day, Hashirama and Madara met on the banks of the river, Madara calling, "From now on, we'll skip rocks as a formal way of greeting one another!"

"Okay!" Hashirama agreed.

They skipped rocks across the river, and when Hashirama caught his, he spotted the message "Run!" on it. Madara waved and called, "My bad, Hashirama! I just remembered I gotta run an errand today!"

Hashirama called back, "I see! Well then, I won't keep you! I'll catch up with you later!"

Then all three sprinted away, but Butsuma and Tobirama jumped out, followed by the head of the Uchiha Clan, Tajima, and Madara's younger brother, Izuna. Hashirama and Shikako stopped to watch in shock as they clashed, only for Hashirama and Madara to throw their rocks to block kunai thrown at their little brothers, standing in front of each other to block any attacks.

"Even if it's you, harm one hair on my little brother, and you'll face my wrath!" Madara yelled at his friend. He calmed, then sneered, "All our talk of building our own village, looks like it was nothing more than wishful thinking."

"Madara, do you really feel…?" Hashirama questioned, afraid of what would happen.

"For what it's worth, it may have been fleeting but I really did have a blast, Hashirama."

"Three on three," Tajima observed. "You finally ready to get your hands dirty, Madara?"

"No," Madara answered. "Hashirama's stronger than me, along with that 'pet' of his, it fights with him too, so it's four on three. If we try and take them head on, we'll get the short end of the stick."

"No way," Izuna gasped. "He's stronger than you, Nii-san?"

Tajima smirked. "Interesting. I never expected him to wield such power."

Madara turned away. "Until next time then."

Tajima nodded. "We're falling back."

"Madara!" Hashirama called after his friend. "You don't really believe it was all wishful thinking, do you? After all our brainstorming, we'd finally…"

"Trust me, I wish things could be different," Madara replied without turning back. "But at the end of the day, you're a Senju. The blood of my brothers, are on the Senju's hands."

Hashirama's face grew troubled as Madara's words struck him.

"Relax," the Uchiha boy continued. "No further blood will be shed today. But next time we meet, we'll be adversaries on the field of battle, Senju Hashirama." He then turned his head, his eyes lit up in Sharingan with a single tomoe in each eye. "And when that time comes, you'll address me as Uchiha Madara!"

"You see that Otou-san!" Izuna cried happily. "Nii-san's eyes have…"

Tajima grinned. "Heh…we failed to gather any useful intel on the Senju, but it looks like we won't go back completely empty handed."

Basically this is taken from the manga, save a few changes to have my OC in there.
