Naruto 623 begins to show why Hashirama and Madara’s friendship is so toxic, after their brothers follow them, the heads of the Uchiha and Senju both find out that it’s wrong for them to meet therefore want to kill each other, Madara and Hashirama warn each other but their fathers arrive in no time. It seems a fight between their fathers is most likely to go down quickly.

Naruto 623 begins at the shore once more, Hashirama tells Sasuke that he didn’t think Madara was stupid, instead he thought that he was inf act a divine revelation who might just bring peace. Madara tells Hashirama that his hair style and cloths are so lame, they both keep on meeting as well as training with each other, not revealing their surnames. They showed each other new techniques as well as became friends.

They both act friendly with each other, playing as well as training hard, they stop and talk about changing things for the better. Hashirama asks how they can change things, Madara tells him that he needs to first hold onto his ideals and dreams to become stronger, if he’s weak no one will listen. They mention that if they master a lot of jutsu, they can become stronger, Madara mention that he’s already stronger than an average adult.

They meet up and Hashirama tells him that he’s found a new jutsu, Madara tells him what it is but doesn’t seem to understand what it is That day they challenge themselves to a vertical wall climbing, Hashirama cheats and gets a quick start on Madara to which allows him to win. Hashirama mentions that they can get a good view of the whole forest there, Madara goes on to say that he’s confident that he can beat him in seeing, Hashirama mentions that he seems to be proud of his eyes.

Madara nearly spits it out mentions that he’s for the Sharingan  But as he goes to say this, he stops himself half way. He mentions that if he was that good, then he would have been able to save his brother, he wasn’t even able to protect them, Hashirama asks how many brothers he’s got left, Madara tells him that there’s still one left.

Hashirama bursts out mentioning for them to build their settlement there, the forest is a large place for them to build their whole village. Hashirama mentions all the ideas he’s got at that point while Madara calls him stupid for thinking up of it, Madara mentions that when he’s built his settlement, he’ll be able to watch over his little brother. They both throw their rocks through the stream to each shore and catch it.

Hashirama gets back home to his father, he knows that he’s meeting with a boy, Tobirama had been following him, his father mentions that Madara is from the Uchiha clan, he’s killed same experience adults from their clan, he’s a very skilled Shinobi from his birth. Hashirama is shocked but not surprised as he could have guessed something similar to this says he’s father.

His father mentions that next time they meet, he tails Madara in order to find where their base is, he can bring back information from their clan, he is given this mission. If he finds out, he must kill Madara! Next time, he says that Tobirama and his father will come with him. Hashirama looks at his rock, they meet and throw their rocks, they both catch it and look at something on the rock.

Madara mentions that today he forgot to do something, Hashirama also mentions the same thing. The rocks mention for them to both run away as it’s a trap. They both run towards the opposite side, his father mentions for them to lets go, out of nowhere it seems that the Uchiha’s head was also taking part in this, it seems that Tajima and Izuna Uchiha face Butsuma and Tobirama Senju. Naruto 623 ends here!

What a fantastic chapter, plus it’s awesome to see both Hashirama and Madara agreeing, even though it’s most likely that they’re going to get in each others nerves causing their fight later on. Naruto 624 will take a break next week, so it’s most likely to be release the week after the next. Can’t wait to see what happens between these two heads!
