Time That Passes By

Prologue

Third Person's POV

Mai, about the age of 10 walk by the river, humming. She heard some talking and she head towards the place. 2 boys her age were talking and laughing. Well, at least one of them were.

One of them notice her and stood up.

"Show yourself!" He said.

The girl came out of her hiding spot.

"Um... Sorry if I bother you..." She said.

"Nah, Its fine! Wanna join us?" The other one said.

"Oi! Hashirama! You cant just say that! What if she were a threat?!" The one who calles her out said.

"Mah, Mah, Madara you're scaring the poor girl" The one sitting, Hashirama said.

The girl look at them, confused. The two boys look back at her.

"Umm...I, I wont disturb you... I'll just go" She said.

"No, its fine. Come on, join us!" Hashirama said.

"Cheh, Hashirama, you're too soft" Madara said.

"So what's your name?" Hashirama ask.

"My name's Mai. What about you two?" She said, sitting down beside them and smiled.

"I'm Hashirama, this is my friend Madara" He said, pointing to each other.

They then hung out together, Madara starts to open up to her, The three of them continue meeting each other everyday, laughing and smiling together, despite knowing there's a war before them.

They three share a dream, where one day they can make a village where there's no need for all this violents. They express their hatred about the wars, even though they still didn't know fully about each other. What matters is their identical dream....

But all of that went thrash soon after...

One day, they met again. At the very same spot, by the river. This time there's frown on all three of their faces.

The two boys exchange rocks, saying they want to skip rocks again. In their palm is a rock with a note on it.

Mai just look at them, worried.

'careful' Is the only word written on the rock.

All three of them suddenly jumped away as kunais were aim at them.

"Just as I thought, you are a ninja" Madara's father said.

Madara's little brother along side with them.

"Hm, Uchiha's..." Hashirama's father alongside with his brother, Tobirama with them.

Mai not far between them, her father beside her.

"Please both of you are leaders of a powerful clan! When will you stop this fight!" He said.

Mai frowned even more.

The two only brothers of both Hashirama and Madara then start fighting.

"Stop!!!" Both Hashirama and Madara stood in front of their brothers, protecting them.

"I wont forgive those who harm my brother..." Madara said, as he glare at Hashirama.

"Looks like the place we dream of, the dream we dream, ends here. We wont be able to reach there" Madara said.

"Madara, You're giving up?!" Mai shouted.

"Even if its only a short while, I'm glad we get to meet, Mai, Hashirama" Madara said.
