well...we have seen that the ninja world during madara and hashirama's childhood was driven with war....uchiha adults ambushing a senju kid and killing him mercilessly, and the senju clan accepting it with pride and honour....same surely happened among the rest of the clans. This is what war is all about..even the most cruel of things is fair and that's the kind of life shinobis of those days had to embrace with pride. However we did see hashirama resenting this. Hashirama was the originator of the 'Will of Fire' but here we can see a depressed kid hashirama who expresses his doubts whether it is at all possible to form an alliance among the ninjas and put an ending to the war. But quite shockingly it was Madara, who apparently was feared as the most ruthless shinobi of all times, who basically tried to console hashirama and talked about hope, believing in oneself and never giving up...which is how he was able to be successful even in a simple game of throwing a stone across the river on it's other side after repeated failiures. Madara has lost his brothers but yet we saw him standing strong with fire in his eyes(he was looking very determined when he was talking to hashirama in the last few pages). So maybe...just maybe....it can be trur that this Will of Fire concept actually came from Madara and it was what changed Hashirama and made him get stronger everytime. But as we can see, Madara later on turned evil...reasons still unknown...
