[Naruto | Hashirama and Madara] Apocalypse

What made Uchiha Madara who he was?

Was it pain, memories, love, or a past he could never let go of?

What formed Senju Hashirama's revelation?

Was it a shared ideal, profound understanding, unchanging trust, or the tenderness he couldn't bear to abandon deep in his heart?

A transmigrator who transmigrated into Madara's body destroyed almost everything. Madara had no reputation as a genius, no trust from his clan, and no strength to overcome anything. Even Black Zetsu didn't think someone like him could accomplish much.

Izuna was reborn, yet failed to save anyone. He watched helplessly as his brother was transmigrated into, without realizing it. When everything finally became clear, how could he ever forgive himself for being so pathetic and hateful?

Hashirama had trusted, only to be disappointed. Forced by everyone to abandon his ideal, how could he learn to trust the people who had deceived him again? Would the revelation heaven had granted him ever come?

In another timeline, Hashirama had no regrets about killing his dearest friend with his own hands. Unbeknownst to him, his soul slumbered alone for a thousand years, sealed away in a coffin. The transmigrator's interference sent everyone's fates veering off course.

Obito, who failed to stop the Nine-Tails' attack; Naruto, raised by Kushina; Sasuke, searching aimlessly for his enemy; Konan, forced to reveal herself under threat; and an Uchiha Madara from another world.

The winds of change are stirring.

Please note:

1. Madara has difficulty with emotional attachment.

2. At first, Madara thinks the transmigrator is the primary personality and that he himself is the secondary personality.

3. Hashirama and Madara are not evenly matched. At first, Hashirama >> Madara; later, Madara >> Hashirama.

4. They never meet at the Nanga River.

5. There is a transmigrator, who appears at the beginning and near the end.

6. There is time travel, Madara raises Obito and Sasuke, and Kakashi and Kushina join the Akatsuki.

7. A happy ending where everyone is together.
