One year later

Beside a riverbank, two young boys were standing there facing each other panting, both of them had bruises and scares all, over their body, their hair was messy and their clothes were ripped and several places, it looked like they just went through hell and back.

Those two were obviously Madara and hashirama, setting not too far from them on the ground was rei simply enjoying his food while watching them struggle.

" can you two please stop wasting our time and get over here, either that or I am going to finish all the food by my self" said rei, this got both their attention, they stopped fighting walked towards rei sat beside him, and both of them picked a wooden box opened it and started eating.

" I just don't understand why can we never win against each other we have fought more than 200 battles but there was never a winner," said hashirama between bites clearly frustrated.

"Humph, you think you are my equal, if I wanted to I would have already defeated you 200 times over," said Madara like he was stating an obvious truth.

" WHAT, I WAS THE I ONE GOING EASY ON YOU, IF I WANTED I COU.." hashirama started throwing a tantrum.

" WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME" screamed Madara.

" Alright guys calm down, I got an idea you guys always compete by fighting each other how about we change that a little, how about you guys compete in something else," said rei.

" like what," asked Madara.

"hmmm let me think" said rei and pretended to start thinking even though he already knew what he was gonna say, he looked around for a while and then his sight fell on a mountain very far away there was a huge forest below it covering tens of kilometers that was the Hokage mountain were the faces of the Hokage will be engraved in the future, he pointed at it and said " see that mountain over there, whoever get to it first is the winner, but you have to go straight through the forest and climb all the way up no shortcuts, what do you think?" he asked.

"am in," said hashirama.

"me too" added Madara.

" Great let's finish our food first," said rei and started eating.

15 minutes later, all three of them were lined up with each other.

" You ready?" asked Rei, he received a node from both of them.

" Alright, ready, set,... Go" the moment rei finished speaking he was already halfway through, the only thing they could see was the cloud of dust he left in his way, after several moments they could already see him at the top of the mountain waving at them.

Both Madara and hashirama were speechless they already knew how strong rei was, but they still were shocked.

They even ganged up on him once but he still beat them without breaking a sweat, from that day forward the made a vow to never fight him again.

" sigh, forgot about him, let's start again," said Madara, "when this rock hits the ground we start alright"

"Alright," said hashirama.

Madara threw the rock high into the air, the moment it hit the ground both of them started running ahead as their life depended on it.

On top of the mountain, rei was sitting on the side of the cliff with his legs dangling he was using his origin eyes to clearly see both hashirama and Madara on the thick trees and bushes.

15 minutes later, both hashirama and Madara got out of the forest and started running up the tall mountain like they were on land, they arrived at the same time at the top of the cliff, immediately they fall on the ground panting, " how.. Hah... Is..hah...this even...hah... possible" said hashirama in between breaths.

"I... Hah... Don't...hah...Know... " replied Madara.

5 minutes later both Madara and hashirama has already recovered as nothing has ever happened, even for a shinobi their recovery speed is terrifying, considering the distance they had to run plus the effort they put into it it should have taken them at least 20 to recover, ' it seems like the power-ups I have given them has started to kick in' though rei.

They were currently sitting at the edge of the cliff with their legs dangling In the air just watching the peaceful senary without saying a word.

" This is an amazing view of the forest isn't it?" said hashirama still staring into the forest.

" it is" replied rei.

" yeah," said Madara while nodding.

" I GOT IT," said HASHIRAMA screaming suddenly and jumped up.

" what?" said Madara clearly annoyed from hashirama ruining the moment.

" let's build our settlement here," said hashirama.

" settlement??" asked Madara.

" yeah, a place where everyone can live in peace, a place where nobody has to worry about war every single day, a place where young children won't have to go to war and die before even experiencing life, a peaceful place" said hashirama with great emotion, and determination, you could tell from the look in his eyes that he actually means it.

" Hahaha, who wouldn't want to live in such a wonderful place, am in" Madara got up and said.

Both Madara and hashirama then stared at rei waiting for his response.

" what are you staring like that at me for, of course I am in" said rei as he got up, and continued " but of course that would have to be in the far future, for now let's focus on training and trying to get stronger, because we both now that without strength those dreams will remain just that, dreams".

Both Madara and hashirama nodded in agreement.

" Alright, it's getting late we should go back, see you around tomorrow," said Rei as he jumped down the mountain followed by Madara and hashirama.

" see ya," said hashirama as he headed in a different route.

" later" Madara also said and went the opposite way of hashirama.
