HashiMada is the slash ship between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha from the Naruto fandom.

Canon
Hashirama and Madara met for the first time when they were children by a river, unknowingly that the other was an enemy and also the heirs to their respective warring clans.

Madara finds a depressed Hashirama by the river one day and finds out that Hashirama's little brother had died in the war, they share a bonding moment as Madara has also lost brothers in the war as well. For the first time, someone understood how they felt. They expressed to each other how they wished for peace where no children had to fight, Hashirama was particularly enthusiastic about the idea of creating a village.

Their friendship was short-lived. Hashirama's last remaining brother, Tobirama, had reported him to their father(who was clanhead) and ordered Hashirama to spy on his best friend and perhaps even kill him. When Hashirama and Madara met again, they exchanged stones by the river telling the other to leave. Before they have a chance to escape, however, Tajima, Butsuma, Tobirama, and Izuna arrive and prepare to battle. Butsuma and Tajima target Izuna and Tobirama respectively causing Hashirama and Madara to intervene and protect their little brothers. When they were going to fight again, Madara tells Tajima that they were at an disadvantage and convinces him to retreat instead. As the Uchiha trio prepare to depart, Madara declared that the next time Hashirama and him met, it would be on a battlefield. He turns to look back at his former friend and revealing his newly awakened Sharingan.

Their relationships worsens when Tobirama mortally wounds Izuna in battle. Hashirama offers a hand to Madara, as he could heal Izuna- but Izuna refused and told his brother to not trust the Senju before passing. Izuna also left Madara his eyes, which allowed Madara to acquire the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Stricken with grief, Madara confronts Hashirama and fights him for an entire day, but despite the power of the EMS, Madara was defeated in the end. When Tobirama prepared to land the killing blow, he was stopped by Hashirama who still wanted to pursue his childhood dream of peace with Madara. Madara states that he did not trust Hashirama anymore, and that the only way to regain that trust was if he either killed himself or his beloved brother.

Hashirama choose to kill himself, saying that the bitterness and war between Senju and Uchiha had to come to an end. Madara stopped him from killing himself, choosing to accept his courage and truce without further bloodshed. The Senju and Uchiha become allies and Madara and Hashirama reconciles.

Together, Hashirama and Madara founded the village of Konohagakure. The village leader, called a Hokage, was to represent the village and watch over its wellbeing. Hashirama wanted Madara to be that leader. Tobirama heard of his brother's intentions of letting Madara become the First Hokage and argued that the position should be chosen democratically. Hashirama ended up winning the vote and becoming the First Hokage instead.

Madara's relationship with his clan soured, and he soon became an outcast in his own village. One night, he brought Hashirama to the Naka Shrine, making Hashirama the first outsider(of the Uchiha clan) to see the stone tablet. Madara reveals that he plans to leave the village, Hashirama tried to convince him not to go, but Madara leaves anyway.
