I really liked the story! It really described their relationship - the hatred and the love all mixed up together. I really think you did a good job, keep up the good work!

Amazing!

I guess you would want -some- helpful criticism, but the only tidbit of help I can offer is this minor typo:

"“The Forest Clan appears to have returned,” his brother murmurs thoughtfully. The** stand shoulder to shoulder on a small plateau overlooking the valley where the Senju remove the remains of their campsite."

**It should be they, not the.

But otherwise, bravo!

wow...

i haven't read anything with hashirama and madara quite like this before. i mean, they've been written as lovers but this hate relationship is quite intense. i love the way you wrote madara. and that last sentence where he will live on because of that and watch the senju fall, it really strikes a cord.

great job, i love this! XD keep them coming!
