It's all Izuna's fault

[Bogard]

When Hashirama offered Madara the possibility to join their forces, it seems Madara hesitated and would have probably accepted if not his brother:

Because of this Madara's dream of creating peace never happened and led to the 4th shinobi war we see now U_U

Izuna and Toribama just shared the same ideals as their fathers and they are all dicks.

 

[Kages]

Yes that's true, although many would have done the same as Izuna. Not his fault completely. U_^

 

[Hipster Madara]

Maybe because Hashirama just inflicted a fatal wound on him? :|

 

[Noni]

you can say that is true its because of him tha madara didnt not join hashirama because izuna stopped them...
im quite disappointed i though he would have been a cool dude

 

[HashiramaDescendant]

His mistake. :/

 

[~Zonta~]

We can't say its totally Izuna's fault since Madara already lost three brothers before him so it was obvious there was bad blood between them.

Moreover Madara always had a choice he was given two chance by Hashirama after Izuna's death which could have led to peace as well if he really wanted that.

 

[key 2 victory is avarice]

Yup, all because Madara loved his brother so much.

it was Tobirama**

 

[Melanee]

Sometimes I get a Romeo and Juliet vibe regarding Hashirama and Madara's forbidden friendship... and I wouldn't blame Izuna for his own beliefs, but Izuna was used by Kishimoto as a plot device to justify Madara's actions.

 

[KingHashirama]

Hashirama kept his sibling under control, Madara however did not.

In this case you can say that uh Hashirama was more of a man then Madara.

Maybe because Hashirama just inflicted a fatal wound on him? :|

Was Tobirama actually ;]

I agree with you. When I read the chapter and seen where Izuna discouraged Madara from accepting the offer I wanted someone to slap him
