"Up ahead is big sister Haku's shop. Sensei, do you want an ice sculpture made with Uncle Madara?"
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Hashirama nodded.
"Welcome... oh, it's Naruto! Are you here with friends today?"

Madara, meanwhile, received a wooden sculpture that Hashirama had made in imitation of Haku's handiwork, though it was perhaps a little crude.
Madara: Don't think I didn't
