The Founding Of Konoha
Chapter 2:
It had been a few months since the agreement passed between Madara and Hashirama; to found Konohagakure. The village was already under construction and the housing estates for the Uchiha and Senju were finished. Also, other wandering clans had been accepted into Konoha, including the Akimichi and Nara clans. Everyone was helping to build the Hidden Leaf and everybody was co-operating. It had been decided, in order to honour the Uchiha, their clan would be made head of the Leaf's police force. All was well, and after much hard labour the village's base structure was finished.
Madara decided to make a monument to honour the current and future Hokage, on the side of a cliff was Hashirama's face. He led the village well and accepted everyone who wished to join. However, not all was well. Slowly but surely Madara's mind was being corrupt, and everyday he developed a larger hatred for his old friend, Hashirama. Why this was happening to Madara remained unknown, but the fact is, he began to think of killing Hashirama and taking the village his own.
The new power Madara had found must have gotten to his head. Upon awakening the Sharingan he had also felt himself at an advantage. But lately Madara had managed to awaken the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan and it gave him an insane power boost. He wanted to use this strength to overcome Hashirama. He began plotting his attack on Hashirama, and if necessary, Konoha itself. Hashirama would have never suspected his ally Madara would perform such an action; however there was someone who did.
The brother of the First Hokage, Tobirama Senju had begun to suspect that Madara was planning to attack his older brother. He tried to convince Hashirama of it, but the fact was Madara was too good a friend to Hashirama that he would never even think of laying a single finger on him. Even if he did, Hashirama had developed an incredible arsenal of Jutsu, and a certain type that was unique to him. Hashirama's Wood Release was a very powerful ability that only he could use. Amongst that, he had also perfected a Natural Energy which allowed him to go into something he dubbed "Sage Mode".
Hashirama had made it clear to Tobirama that one day, he would probably success Hashirama as Hokage, and that he needed to become more powerful himself. Tobirama was busy developing a Jutsu that would allow him to summon the dead. He called it the "Edo Tensei" Little did he know he would one day have to use it on his older brother. All he knew is, that he would have to be ready for the day that someone very powerful were to attack the village which he knew and loved.
A few years of peace later, Madara was ready to snap at the insolence of Hashirama. He decided that it was time to use his powerful Mangekyō Sharingan against his old rival and ally. He summoned Hashirama to a private place. A valley of two mountains and a river. There they stood, both on a mountain of their own. Madara hardly needed to explain what he was about to do. Hashirama already figured it out when he saw Madara was activating his Mangekyō. He sighed with shame at Madara, and what he had become. Hashirama and Madara, at the same time, not thinking about what they were doing clasped their hands and made many hand signs at an incredible speed.
"Rinnegan! Activate!" Madara yelled with great expression.
"Sage Mode! Activate!" Hashirama shouted, regretting what he was about to do.
