数多の忍が累々たる屍の山と化した、過酷な戦国時代。。。 幼きマダラは、水切り場で一人の少年と出会う。名を柱間。宿敵・千住一族とは知らぬまま、不思議と柱間に惹かれていくマダラ。忍の技を競い合ったり未来について語り合ったりするうち、柱間に対する確かな友情が、マダラの中で育っていく。。。
Many shinobi died during the cruel era of warring countries. The heaps of corpses transformed into mountains of them…Where a young Madara was skipping stones, he happened to meet a boy named Hashirama. Without knowing that he was from the Senju clan, who were his arch-enemies, Madara was strangely becoming captivated by Hashirama. While competing with their shinobi techniques and talking together about the future, he certainly had a friendship with Hashirama. Within Madara, he continued to mature (with those experiences of friendship).

However, that friend was a detestable arch-enemy of the Uchiha clan. Because of that reality for the young Madara, his heart was then disheveled into pieces... Separating from his past, and as the head of his clan, Madara threw himself into a rivalry (with Hashirama). However, on the battlefield, his friend showed (Madara) his ‘Guts’. Finally, Madara’s heart wavered. With his friend, they established a shinobi village called 「Konohagakure」. Certainly, it was a testimony to both of their dreams. However, Madara saw through (that dream). Before long, they decided on building Konohagakure Village. However, there was the existence of a 「Darkness」 within it. ..
