Big Reveal

Madara stood on the battlefield, his eyes alight with the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. It was a gift from his dying brother Izuna, who had given up his eyes so that Madara could protect their clan from the growing number of enemies and the Senju. But despite the incredible power at his disposal, Madara knew that he was fighting a losing battle. The Senju were too strong, and their leader, Hashirama, was too powerful.

Still, Madara fought on, fueled by his grief and his desire for revenge. He had lost so much already - his clan, his brother, and now his dream of a world where the Uchiha and the Senju could coexist in peace. He would not go down without a fight.

"You're the one who inflicted those mortal wounds on my younger brother... This IS a final present from him, to make sure I protect the Uchiha!!!" Said Madara with his EMS eyes.

Hashirama, his childhood friend and now the leader of the Senju clan, tried to reason with him "Have you read the truce I sent to You?! If You Really have the best interest of the Uchiha in mind, We need to stop all this spilling of blood!"

But that makes Madara more angry.

"HASHIRAMA! WE'RE NO LONGER CHILDREN PLAYING WITH ONE ANOTHER! I HAVE NO USE FOR YOUR ADOLESCENT IDEOLOGY!!!! THERE WILL NEVER BE A TRUCE BETWEEN US!!!" While he summoned a giant Susanoo, a powerful manifestation of his chakra.

After 24 hours of non-stop fighting. Madara was exhausted, both physically and mentally. He had poured everything he had into the battle with Hashirama, using every technique at his disposal. But it had all been for naught. Despite his new power from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he was still no match for the raw strength and skill of his childhood friend and rival.

As the dust settled and Madara lay on the ground, defeated, Tobirama moved in for the kill.

"This is the END, Madara!" Said Tobira with his sword ready to stab Madara.

Madara closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate. But then he heard Hashirama's voice,

"Tobirama, wait!" Hashirama stopped him.

"Why Si..., Brother?! We can finally end things right here, right now!!" Tobira asks his big brother.

"Touch one hair in his body! I dare you!" Said Hashirama, intimidating his brother.

Madara couldn't believe it. After all the death and destruction that had been wrought between their clans, after all the battles they had fought, Hashirama was still willing to show mercy. It was almost too much to bear.

"Pfft...just...make it quick and painless, Hashirama...if it's you...I can go in peace..." Madara muttered, his voice weak and tired.

"Will you drop the tough guy act already...if I kill the head of their clan...all the young Uchiha who hold you in high esteem would go crazy...it'll be anarchy..." Hashirama pleaded.

Madara shook his head, "No...no Uchiha views me with such regard...not anymore..." he replied.

"you're wrong... let's settle this...like we used to... if we put our heads together-" Hashirama tried to convince Madara to work together with him, But Madara cut him off, his voice full of bitterness.

"You know...that's no longer possible...when faced with that fork in the road...you and I went in opposite directions...you took my last sibling from me...I can never trust you again..." Madara's voice was hoarse.

"then ...how can I earn back your trust?" Hashirama asked.

Madara was silent. Finally, he spoke, "If you really want to earn back my trust...you'll have to kill your brother with your own hands...or kill yourself...that will wipe the slate clean...that'll allow me to trust your clan..."

As Madara made his demand, the other Senju present began to protest "You're telling him to kill his own brother or commit suicide?! Cut the bullshit you son of-!!" But Hashirama signaling to stop.

"You're asking the impossible!"

"What will you do, brother?! ...Are you going to kill me? Or, would you kill yourself to appease this lunatic? This is ridiculous ...Don't you listen to him, brother!" Tobirama also protested.

Hashirama stood silent, his eyes fixed on Madara's. He knew what he had to do, and he was ready to do it.

Finally, he spoke up, "Madara, thank you for giving me two choices. I could never have brought myself to kill my brother."

Tobirama scoffed, "You can't seriously be considering this, si- brother?"

Hashirama took off his armor, revealing his true identity. "This is my sacrifice," she said. "I am not the man everyone believes me to be. I am a woman. And I am in love with you, Madara."

"T-that's impossible... you're not... I mean... you're a..." Madara stuttered, unable to find the words to express his disbelief.

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth," Hashirama said softly, her hand resting on his arm.

"But why? Why did you pretend to be a man all these years?" Madara asked, his mind reeling.

"It was the only way I could be taken seriously, as a leader of our clan and as a warrior," Hashirama explained. "But now, I realize that hiding my true self was a mistake. I should have been true to who I am from the beginning And I have been in love with you since the day we met. I know that my love cannot change the past, but I hope it can change the future."

Madara was silent for a moment, then he laughed. "This is a joke, right? You expect me to believe that you, the great Hashirama Senju, are in love with me, the leader of the Uchiha clan?"

"It is no joke," Hashirama said. "I love you, Madara. And I believe that this love can bring an end to this war."

Hashirama imparts her final words to his kinsmen "listen well, Tobirama...and engrave my final words into your heart... for these are words for which I am about to exchange my life... the same goes for the clan... after I die, I forbid you to kill Madara... and any fighting between the Senju and the Uchiha will not be tolerated... swear it on the names of your fathers and unborn young... now... farewell"

Madara merely nodded, still lost in thought.

Hashirama stepped forward, taking out a kunai from her pouch. "I will do what needs to be done to ensure peace between our clans," she said, her voice steady.

Madara reached out, grabbing her hand before she could strike herself. "Wait. Seeing your resolve to go through with my request is enough. I accept your proposal."

Hashirama smiled, relieved. "Thank you, Madara."

And so, with the agreement reached, the peace was established, ushering in an era of harmony between the Uchiha and the Senju.
