HASHIRAMA POV

"Madara... We need to speak about Hokage..." I had invited him over to tell him that we must take a vote for Hokage.
Right now we were at my house sitting on the couch. I had ment to tell Madara about the situation as soon as I found out, but I would always chicken out.

I didn't want to hurt my best friend...

"Ah yes, finally changed your mind about sculpting heads on the mountain?" Madara said jokingly.

I felt like I was gonna chicken out yet again.

"Actually no... I came to tell you that...that... Is it hot in here?" I knew it was stupid but, I really didn't want to tell him!
What if he gets upset?
What if he gets angry?
What if he cries?!
Unlikely that Madara would cry but... I knew he wouldn't be happy!

"Just spit it out already Hashirama. You're getting on my nerves." Madara said annoyed.

Okay Hashirama, it's now or never. Though I'd rather choose never...

"Madara, to be Hokage... You must have most of the villagers votes." I said the last few words quickly.

Madara was silent for a while, before looking up at me.

"A vote? Let me guess, my opponent is you." Madara had no emotion in his voice as he spoke. I knew that meant he was upset with what I had just said.
I stayed silent, I didn't know what else to say.

"Why must we take a vote? The title to Hokage is already yours." Nothing upsetted me more than his emotionless face.

I'd rather him scream and yell at me!

"People haven't voted yet Madara! You could still get most people's votes and be Hokage!" I tried to make it sound better.

"Tell me Hashirama... Would you vote for someone you fear? Someone you don't trust?" He asked as he stood up from the couch.

I stayed silent. Of course I wouldn't vote for someone like that, but I didn't view Madara like that.

"No. You wouldn't. I am viewed by those people as distrustful." Madara said, this time glaring.

"No Madara! They don't view you like that! It's all just a big misundersta-"

"I hear their whispers Hashirama. You are known for brining peace, and I am known for being a power hungry maniac." Madara said after he cut me off.

He continued on to speak.
"You do know how one gets these eyes." I shook my head no. I just thought he had to work really hard to open the Mangekyo sharingan.

"You must kill someone you hold dear."

...

I stood there in shock. My mouth gaping at what my ears just heard.
'Kill someone you hold dear?' Impossible! Madara wasn't like that!

"Y-you are kidding... I've known you for so long and nothing means more to you than keeping your loved ones safe!" I stood from my seat on the couch.

"Everyone has their secrets Hashirama. You will never fully know someone." Madara spoke.

"Izuna is what you hold dear! You are lying because he is still alive!" No way in hell is Madara speaking the truth!

"Izuna is not the only one I hold dear, Hashirama." I stared at him in shock.

My best friends a lunatic!

"I admit that you caught me off guard with that confession." I spoke. I heard a "Hn" from Madara.

"But-" I again was cut off.

"But nothing Hashirama. You will play the part as the hero, and I will play the part as the monster." Madara turned to walk out the door. I didn't stop him, I was still in shock about that confession.

There had to be more to it than that...Madara was not telling me the whole truth...

MADARA POV

I walked rather quickly to my home. Praying I wouldn't have to deal with anything on my way there.
I was fuming mad.
I to helped build that village, and was still viewed negatively! I wanted peace and I helped creat it.
So why was Hashirama the only one being credited for it?
I was glad no one was around and that it was dark.
I wouldn't have to hear their disgusting gossip, or see their faces turn in fear.

I got to my home rather quickly and noticed that Izuna was still up.

"What are you still doing up?" I asked, my anger from Hashirama still hasn't left my body so I sounded rather harsh.

"I could ask you the same thing. Why are you returning home so late?"
She asked.

"I just spoke with Hashirama." I said as I walked towards my room.
Izuna followed after me.

"Why are you so upset? I mean yeah, he is annoying but, I've never seen you so upset from talking with him." She asked as she walked towards my bed and laid on it.

"You know about Hokage right?"
Izuna nodded her head.
"Yeah, you're gonna be Hokage." She said like it was the obvious.

"Not any more. There will be a vote for Hokage between Hashirama and I."
Izuna made an 'oh' face, completely understanding where I was going with this.

"So Hashirama is going to be Hokage?" She asked.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair and sat down on my bed.

"It seems so..."

I wasn't this upset because of being told that I won't be Hokage. It was because I knew for a fact Hashirama will win the villagers over to his side.
And that was practically screaming in my face 'We don't trust you!' from the villagers.
Hashirama was going to get most, if not all the votes.

I stayed silent.

That day was going to be so humiliating...

"I'll vote for you." I heard my sisters soft voice say to me.

I smiled.
A sibling was the best person to have by your side.

TOBIRAMA POV

I sat at the pretty much empty bar having a few drinks. I came here to drink after managing to finish a mound of paper work Hashirama neglected for a few weeks.

Moron.

But it seemed like instead of rewarding myself for getting the paperwork done, it seemed like I was drinking my annoyance away.

Just before I got to the bar, I had a little run in with the king of all brats.

Izuna Uchiha.

~FLASHBACK~

I stood there eyeing my nemesis.

"Izuna..."
"Tobirama.."
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing there?" He replied back.

"I don't have time to play one of your games." I said walking passed him.

"Shouldn't you greet your equal? You disrespectful it?" He asked, with a glare.

I twitched at being called an "it."

"Looks like you need a reminder, you mini demon. I almost killed you. And if it weren't for my idiot brother, you would be decomposing in the ground right now." I hissed at him.
"Hn." Izuna said crossing his arms.
"You merely caught me off guard."

This annoying little...

"No," I growled at him.
"I merely cut your side in half."

"Did you now..." Izuna said, examining his nails.

What I would give to use that jutsu on the little brat...

"Watch it, or I might just almost kill you again." I glared at Izuna.
Izuna glared back.

"Go right ahead." Izuna said challenging.

I was going to rip my hair out! That stuck-up pice of garbage knew I wouldn't threaten the peace surrounding our clans...

"You are just full of attitude, aren't you?" I said glaring at him.

"And you are just full of stupid. Why use threats you know you can't fulfill?" He gave me a questioning look.

"Whatever Uchiha, I have better things to do than chat with you." I said as I turned to continue on my way.

He really gets under my nails.

~FLASHBACK END~

I sighed glaring at my glass of alcohol.

That jerk is gonna give me a drinking problem...

!TIME SKIP!

HASHIRAMA POV

I sat at the Hokage's office going over serious paperwork.

Yes, I Hashirama Senju was chosen for the title Hokage.

I had won over more than half of the villagers, while Madara only had a few Uchihas vote for him, his most loyal comrades.

I still remember how after that, it seemed as if our friendship had taken a step back. Everytime I'd joke around with him he would always say the same thing!

"Should the Hokage really be acting like that" and than he'd turn and walk away! Tobirama was no help to the situation whatsoever.
Whenever Madara would be on his 'I hate everyone and everything around me' moods, Tobirama always had to leave an unnecessary comments like,
"Reason number 46 on why you weren't chosen to be Hokage" or
"Someone's on his man period."
Thankfully, Izuna usually was there so instead of Madara and Tobirama screaming at each other, it was Tobirama and Izuna screaming at each other.

And by screaming I mean, standing with both their arms crossed, glaring at each other, and saying some things that will give an elderly a heart attack...
All the while using their indoor voice.

I was working really hard to show Madara that people actually wanted him in the village, but that plan seemed to back fire a bit...
Meaning that whenever Madara and I walked down the streets, kids would scream and point at Madara all the while saying "MONSTER! Dont worry! The Hokage will save us!"

So you can see how that back fired.

I sighed and put my focus back on the documents.

There was a clan going around causing chaos everywhere they went. They were very destructive in what they did and their reasoning was because they did not like how 5 villages are keeping order around the world. At first all 5 kages just thought it was an angry clan, we all did not think much about them.
That is until they made their first move.

The clan was known as the Kuromaho clan, meaning "black magic."
They were a strong clan with an amazing kekkei genkai. They were able to do all sorts of things, such as creat their own weapon on the spot using their chakra, paralyze a considerable amount of people for a few minuets, and summon strange beasts.

They truly were magicians.

They also had a unique color of chakra. When a Hyuga fought against them, he saw that their chakra color was black, and that some had other colors tinted on the black, such as red or yellow.
It was also noted that they visibly use their chakra for attacks.

They had attacked both Iwagakure and Kumogakure at the same time and destroyed a fairly good amount of both villages. At that point war was declared.

At first the other 3 villages decided it was not their fight and they would not get involved, but the Kuromaho threatened the rest of the villages, and before we knew it, an all out war was happening.

We had the first Kage summit because of the Kuromaho.

~FLASHBACK~

I bowed my head and thanked each Kage for coming here...and I might have let a few tears stroll here and there, but whatever!

"Put your head up Hokage, or I'll view you as weak and just leave." Said the Mizukage.

"Yes Hashirama, we don't have time to waste on greetings, we must speak about what to do with the infuriating Kuromaho!" Said Raikage.

I apologized, I couldn't help the happiness I felt when all the Kages met up!

Each Kage had someone accompanying him. I had Madara standing behind me, while Izuna and my brother guarded the entrance for the summit, along with other shinobi.

"We must distinguish the Kuromaho clan! They are far too dangerous!" Said the Raikage.

I listened on as each Kage spoke.

They all spoke about destroying the whole of the Kuromaho clan.

"Isn't destroying a whole race a bit too much?" I asked. I didn't think destroying every single member of a race was the way to handle this situation.

"Don't be naive Hokage. If we let even a single member live, he would start an uprising." The Kazekage spoke.

"It is better to get rid of them now so their won't be any problems in the future." Tsuchikage said.

I sat quietly, carefully listening to each Kage speak about what they plan to do.

"Instead of going your separate ways to stop the Kuromaho, why not work as a team?" I turned to look at Madara when he spoke.

"And risk being back-stabbed? Never!" Raikage's voice boomed.

"I agree with Madara! If we all work together, we can put a stop to the Kuromaho." I said agreeing with what Madara said. With all of us working together, there is no way for the Kuromaho to carry out their threats of invasion.

When the summit was coming to a closing, we had all agreed to wait for the Kuromaho's next attack, that way we can tail them and attack them when they are together and know their location.

It was risky to wait, but we had no idea where they could possibly be hiding.

"Very well. This meeting has come to a closing. Until next time."

With that each Kage got up to leave.

As both Madara and I walked out, we were greeted by our younger brothers.

"So whats the plan? Do we act immediately?" Tobirama asked.

"Are you stupid , or are you dumb? You can't ask questions like this out in the open." Izuna said to my brother.

"I hope you realize I wasn't listening to whatever incompetence left your mouth." Tobirama said turning to glare at Izuna.

"I hope you realize that you are a simpleminded fool who belongs in a cage." Izuna said back.

Before they can begin a battle, I cut in.

"Enough. We will speak when we are back to Konoha." I told them both, trying to assert my authority.

"Shut up." They said, completly ignoring my hurt feelings as they continued on to fight.

So much for asserting authority...

I looked up when i heard the familiar menacing voice.

"Enough. We will speak when we are back to Konoha." Madara spoke firmly as he began to walk ahead.
Tobirama and Izuna glared at each other before following Madara in silance.

Are you freakin kidding me? I said the exact same thing as Madara, and they told me to shut up!

I fell into my depressive state
'No one ever respects me...'

~FLASHBACK END~

We had recently gotten word of where the Kuromaho were hiding, and it was decided we would make our move tomorrow when our spies returned. The kages have spoken and it was decided that Konoha will take the lead in this had stronger forces so it made sense.

We were to head out in squads early morning.

Since this was a sereous matter, I to would go assist in the fight while Tobirama stayed in the village in case of attack.

This was a large clan, and they were to be taken sereously.

It feelis like its been forever...Like we dont even know each other anymore...XD

Sorry for the random TOBIRAMA POV, I orginally was gonna end the chapter there so i added his POV to make it longer, but than my Computer betrayed me so i had to go get it fixed, which took like 4 days, so i wrote more ^^
