Note: For anime only viewers this might contain spoiler.
So, I've always wondered about this fight and how Madara managed to escape in the end. After few research, I have come to a conclusion.
And here it goes:
Here, we can see that Hashirama clearly killed Madara.
Another thing (the middle panel): Hashirama realized that someone was watching them but when he looked up no one was there. He was too late and that person had already left.
I believe that this is the key to explaining how Madara actually managed to get out from that situation.
[Most probably a hint from Kishi as well.]
We all know about Muu's Fission Technique: This technique allows user to literally split his own body into two identical yet entirely independent duplicates of himself. Unlike Clone Techniques that only appear to be similar, the ability is instead a physical separation and so does not require hand seals to activate, making it faster in comparison as a result. This also means that even if one is incapacitated, the other remains completely unaffected and as neither can truly be regarded as the original, the duplicates cannot be dispelled like normal clones.
At first, I thought only Muu could use this technique. But I was wrong.
Zetsu could do it (basically the same).
Juubi did it (though in a different manner)
So, a powerful shinobi like Madara without a doubt could do it too.
Madara, after observing Muu's Fission jutsu, comes up with a grand plan.
Accordingly, Madara acquired the Fission technique, either by observing Muu during their fight or by gaining info on the jutsu through Muu. (My bet is on the latter).
Then, Madara set out for one final clash against his rival/foe/friend Hashirama Senju in order to obtain his DNA. When Madara realized that Shinsuusenju was too powerful for him. He could have switched to his Plan B i.e., The Fission Technique.
(Remember the sole purpose was to obtain Hashi's DNA and get out of it alive. Whether He won or lost didnt matter). I also think that Madara actually wanted Hashirama to believe that he's dead.
If Madara could take down Hashirama then it was all good. But incase, Hashi was too strong, the Fission Jutsu would be the back-up plan.
And thats how Madara might have got out from that fight. But it would seem that after this incident Madara no longer possessed his prime power. But later he would acquire the Rinnegan the way he predidcted after deciphering the Uchiha Tablet of Naka Shrine, and thus came the idea of Project Tsuki no Mei!!
EDIT: As pointed out by an observant member (Jako98146):
Madara's wounded chest
The wound on Madara's chest can be explained in the following manner:
After splitting into two, any shinobi would wish to get his other half back (for power and stability of his body). In this attempt, when the half-Madara(alive) merged with the other Madara (stabbed), He might have received that wound. As Fission Jutsu splits a person, physically, into two so the wound on the other half affected the original Madara when the two merged.

Post your opinions on what you think about this theory.
Thanks!! =D

And here it goes:
1. Madara vs Hashirama, the end.

2. Madara and Muu
Kishi hasn't shown much of their connection, except (1)during the summoning of Edo Madara by Kabuto through Muu (2) and a small panel of Madara vs Muu and Oonoki.
I'd say they knew each other quiet well. Note the expression on Muu's face when Madara was summoned.
Kishi, are you trying to foreshadow some thing here?
Also, We have seen the Madara vs Muu and Oonoki scene quiet often now but never really knew about Muu's opinion & action, and the after-math of the fight.
But we can safely say that after Madara defeated Muu and Oonoki, Muu pledged allegiance to Madara. (whether he liked it or not)

In other words, the person who was watching Hashirama and Madara

is none other than MADARA himself (the other half).
