** Their very secret encounters, to start with. Hashirama's father, Butsuma Senju, had Tobirama follow him in order to find out why he was spending most of time away from home, and later on reveals to him "I know that you're you have been meeting with a boy.""
* When Tobirama suggests that they should take the chance to slay a wounded, weakened and helpless Madara after the latter and Hashirama had their final quarrell before the peace agreement between the Senju and Uchiha clans, Hashirama gives his brother the most deadly look and says "don't you dare touching him".
** At this moment, Hashirama tries again to set an agreement between their clans, but Madara states that he would only do that if the Senju killed himself or his own brother. Without even a second guess, Hashirama pulls out a kunai and points it to his own stomach, telling Tobirama to not harm Madara after he is gone. Madara, then, grabs Hashirama's hand and stops him from attempting against his own life.
* When they finally managed to build the village of their childhood dreams, they would often meet, walk around side by side and stand on the cliff they used to sit by for hours years before, gladly admiring what they constructed together.
** There is a moment in Hashirama's flashback when he is standing with a bunch of people at some Konoha's alley and, when Madara shows up, he glances him with obvious delight and admiration. They proceed, then, to walk together rather close to each other.
* Hashirama asks Madara for suggestions on the village's name. The Senju complains a lot about the "obvious and superficial" name the Uchiha came up with, but uses it either way.
* Hashirama really wanted Madara to be Leaf's first hokage, getting the latter to be quite surprised and embarassed when saying he wanted to build a huge model of Madara's face on the village's cliff.
* Hashirama keeps on standing up for Madara in every opportunity he has, mainly when Tobirama very clearly talks about his distrust and concerns about the latter.
* When Madara reveals to Hashirama he will be leaving the village, the latter shouts "I can't do this without you!", even though Madara was pretty much by himself at the time, not having support even amongst his own clan - clearly, Hashirama's concern has nothing to do with political and/or strategical reasons.

* Their general relationship starts by having the strongest Romeo and Juliet atmosphere and proceeds with the whole "this cruel world has torn us apart" energy.
* In the beginning of Edo Tensei Hashirama's long flashback during the war arch, he plainly says "to me, Madara was a gift from the divine" while a young Madara smiles in the background.
* They first met during their childhood, amidst the war betweens their clans, and started being friends right away. They'd spend the whole day together speaking of their shared dreams, training and playing despite knowing they were probably from enemy parties. After that, even when their friendship was torn apart by the overall circumstances, they'd frequently cross by each other one way or another.
* Despite have already lost three of his younger brothers and seen lots of people suffer and die during the raging war, Madara only awakens his sharingan when his friendship with Hashirama was broken after his father finds out about their secret encounters.

[[folder: Sasuke and Itachi]]
* Itachi stars in all of Sasuke's childhood flashbacks. Even before we knew the truth about Itachi, he was shown to be a kind and loving big brother to Sasuke. His memories have him smiling and spending time with him the most. Their relationship becomes more blatant when we see that, in the past, Itachi has never been shown smiling with anyone else.
* At the end of Part I, Sasuke gets really jealous when he finds out that Itachi came back to Konoha not for him, but for [[TheRival Naruto]].
* Even though it's not exactly healthy Sasuke and Itachi seem to be obsessed with each other and care for each other above all else.
** After TheReveal about his true motives, we find out that Itachi lived only for Sasuke's sake after the massacre, always thinking about making Sasuke strong enough to protect him all while dealing with his [[SoapOperaDisease terminal illness]].
** And of course Sasuke is [[RevengeBeforeReason completely obsessed]] with Itachi too. He spends all of his time either obsessively loving him or completely hating him, not to mention how he's only sane when he knows Itachi is alive.
* In Konoha Gakuen Den the girls discuss the "secret relationship between Sasuke and Akatsuki member Itachi" and even say "How naughty!"
* After Akatsuki is told that Deidara took Sasuke along with him in his suicide attack, Itachi walks out into the rain and Kisame comments that it looks like he's crying. Later Itachi is shown smiling when he says that Sasuke is still alive.
* Despite Itachi [[MindRape mind raping]] Sasuke and acting like he wanted to [[EyeScream take his eyes]] and kill him, it's revealed that he really did love Sasuke all along. What kind of love is apparently up for the fans to decide.
* Also, in part II during their big fight scene, at one point Itachi pins Sasuke against a wall while leaning in really close. As well as when he grabs him from behind, wrapping his arms around him.
* Sasuke - "It's like you said. The reason Itachi couldn't kill me, is because my life was more precious than the village. I feel the same. Itachi's life is more precious to me than the village."
** What's notable about this is that it is very obvious that the village as a whole and maintaining peace was more important than Sasuke to Itachi, since Itachi kind of grew out of his blanketing unconditional love for Sasuke by the time he talked with Naruto about stopping Sasuke. Sasuke's (once again) blind love for his brother twisted Tobi's words into ''that'' and very obviously fed his already-supersized ego.
* Itachi tends to have NoSenseOfPersonalSpace around Sasuke.
* In the fight of brothers vs Kabuto, Sasuke gets a big angry and jealous that Itachi went so far as to use Izanami on Kabuto to get him over his obsession with becoming Orochimaru.
** Not to mention how Sasuke insisted that Itachi was perfect.
* In chapter 589 Sasuke tells Itachi "When I'm with you I remember the past. The feelings from my childhood spent together with the brother I loved."
** In chapter 590 we have [[spoiler: Itachi's final words to Sasuke]] as he presses their foreheads together and looks deep into his eyes with a loving gaze and smile.
--> Itachi: You don't have to forgive me. No matter what you decide to do from now on, I will love you forever.
* And then there's ''Anime/SunnySideBattle''--which is probably [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation as close to homoerotic domestic]] these two get.

It's obvious the one thing Kakashi seeks above all else is Obito's approval -- [[spoiler:so it's not surprising that learning Obito is Tobi almost robs him of the will to live. On Obito's end, though he never quite admits it, he values Kakashi almost much. His ideal world isn't just one where Rin is alive, but also one where Kakashi lived up to the ideals that drove him in his youth, the ideals he passed on to his best friend. Despite claiming that he no longer cared for Kakashi after Rin's death, when it comes down to it, Kakashi is almost as much of LivingEmotionalCrutch to Obito as Rin was]].

* Naruto and Sasuke had plenty of this to begin with, although the dubbed version of the anime [[DubText took it to new heights in an early episode]], where Naruto is sizing Sasuke up, sitting on Sasuke's desk and staring straight into his eyes. [[LightningGlare (Metaphorical) bits of lightning]] fly from one's eyes to the other. In the original anime, Sakura and the other girls tell Naruto to sit down; a guy in the front row reaches back and hits Naruto with his elbow, Naruto loses his balance, falls forward, and [[AccidentalKiss accidentally kisses]] Sasuke. In the aired version of the dubbed anime, they cut away at the moment of the actual tripping over and kissing, which makes it look less like an [[NotWhatItLooksLike embarrassing accident]] and more like teen experimentation (and it was seen again in a montage and one opening). Amusingly, the author said the whole reason he did this was to use the joke "just so fans would have it out of the way". And let us not forget Sasuke telling Naruto (in the english dubbed version) "I'm gonna screw YOU up if you don't watch it, Naruto!"

And before Sasuke "dies" he is seen standing in front of Naruto in a protective stance and Naruto asks him why he saved him.

Sasuke then smiles happily as he remembers all these memories and says, "I don't know. My body just moved on its own. Idiot." He then falls backwards and Naruto catches him while putting a hand on his face. Sasuke glances at Naruto sadly and (in the anime) appears to slowly reach a hand up to Naruto's cheek before saying [[http://www.mangareader.net/93-32-15/naruto/chapter-27.html "Don't you die too..."]] and then finally "dies". Tears appear in Naruto's eyes and (in the anime) he hugs Sasuke's body close to him while crying into his shirt.

* Sasuke remembering the taste of his AccidentalKiss with Naruto in the official fanbook from an 'Official Character Interview'. The interviewers act like they were "interviewing Sasuke", but of course it's Kishimoto writing the answers. This has caused many gleeful fangirls to squee that Sasuke noticed and remembers what Naruto tastes like, and that he's perhaps not as disgusted with the kiss as he acted.

A. Naruto eh ... ? At first I thought he was just a moron who gets in the way but frankly he's been impressing me lately, just a little bit.\\

A. Hmmm ... Like Miso I guess ...[[{{Tsundere}} I mean]]... [[BlatantLies like I remember]]! Damn Naruto, why would he do that?!

** (From TheOtherWiki): "Kimimaro's relationship with Orochimaru was similar to Haku's relationship with Zabuza, both having similar backgrounds, and both found a purpose in living for their respective master. His dedication to Orochimaru was so great, that, despite his body's failing strength, he was able to will himself into battle, and still proved himself as an extremely dangerous opponent for the likes of Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee and Gaara."
