Were they built by traditional means (as they would've been in our world)?
Were they created via some sort of ninjutsu that shaped the rocks that were
there? Or was it erected by some sort of Doton jutsu (like some Doryuu Heki)?

I am not sure if there is some canonical answer to this, but I'd like to hear
your thoughts.

How did the Hashirama and Madara statues at the Valley of the End come to be?


It's nowhere stated, where the statues come from. However, after Naruto and
Sasuke destroy some parts of the statues, they are restored, later. (Compare
chapter 370) That could mean, that they are some special statues, formed or
protected by a jutsu.

Maybe, after the battle between Madara and Hashirama (where the valley was
formed), Hashirama decided to create these statues to be a sign.

From what I can tell, these statues are not protected or enchanted. After the
Naruto vs. Sasuke battle at the Valley of the End, the status were damaged,
and later repaired. I believe it was a reconstruction job, much like Leaf's
faces on the mountain, or the Kage statues at the Sand.

Much like Madara already said, it's not mentioned anywhere that someone had
built them.  
However, I (Hashirama) _did_ know to use Doton, and probably someone created
them to make a statement of peace.  
As for the repair. It's easy enough for a future Doton user to fix it, I don't
think it's self-repairing.
