madara at valley of end

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Alternativly he just wasn't as dead as hashirama thought. Not all stabs are instant kills. Hell, he was sabbed in a place sasuke said was non lethal when he stabbed itachi(Genjutsu)

Madara was fodder back then

A fodder who fooled hashirama. Wonder what that says about the "God of shinobi" credibility.
