It was five in the morning, everything was serene. Some Uchiha members started with their new and peaceful morning rituals in the quiet territory. As two Uchiha women went outside the territory to collect water and fish, they saw Hashirama Senju at the border."Ohayo gozaimasu, Senju sama." The women bowed despite of being the rival clan.
"Ohayo gozaimasu." Hashirama gently bowed as well. Inside he was relieved and happy their differences were shortening. Maybe it was just that the Uchiha liked Hashirama because he cared about them, unlike his clan.
He reached the leader's house by asking the directions from the few Uchihas around. He noticed a peaceful aura around, unlike the hustle and bustle of his clan where everyone was loud and cheerful. He loved the serenity for a while, afterall Uchiha was an elegant clan. Despite their violent nature, they had a peaceful environment.
He knocked at Madara's house and Izuna showed up.
"Hashirama san, you showed really early. What is the matter?"
"Gomen nasai for the trouble, Izuna. I wanted to greet Madara ni san. Is he awake?" Hashirama gently asked.
Izuna sensed the proximity the Senju created between them by using the honorific that he used for Madara. Izuna was surprised but didn't let it show.
"Madara san is asleep now. I would wake him up if you need."
"Not really! I will wait till he gets up. Am I allowed inside?" Hashirama said.
"Sure, Hashirama san. Would you enjoy some tea?" Izuna asked, trying his best not to smile. He couldn't believe that his ni san loved such a gentleman.
"I wouldn't like to bother anymore." Hashirama said as Izuna opened the shoji of the backyard, letting fresh breeze enter the house. Hashirama sat on the engawa and immersed in the serene morning in the Uchiha clan.
After a while, Izuna came with two yunomi of sencha tea.
"Izuna, you didn't need to bother." Hashirama said as Izuna kept down the yunomi.
"Ni san doesn't like tea and you were here so I thought it would be better if we could have some." Izuna said.
"Naru-houdo." Hashirama said, thinking back when Madara gulped that bitter brew.
"Sarutobi clan would show up when we start building the village." Hashirama said.
"Wakatta. Our work to check upon the clans also start then." Izuna said. He looked at the chakra sensing barrier around the Uchiha territory that only the Sharingan users could see.
It was six in the morning when Madara opened his eyes from a nightmare. He saw his clan massacred on the orders of the village while he could do nothing. War outside the village, death, bloodshed. A mysterious goddess coming back to life about to end human life on earth.
