History

Founding Konoha and First Hokage

Hashirama ended an era of conflict and established the first shinobi village, creating the model later villages followed. He served as Konoha's First Hokage for fourteen years and remained the village's foremost deterrent even after leaving office. 111 215

He voluntarily transferred the Hokage position to Tobirama, believing his younger brother was better suited to Konoha's development and administration. The village accepted the succession because Hashirama remained able to protect it. 111 124

Mentorship of Kumonaka Torikaze

As Hokage, Hashirama noticed that six-year-old Kumonaka Torikaze possessed chakra comparable to a first-rate village ninja. He considered taking the child as a disciple, but insisted on judging both Torikaze's talent and character first. 3

After seeing Torikaze master Cloud Release and display Crystal Release techniques, Hashirama fully accepted him as a disciple and encouraged further development of his bloodline abilities. He believed the boy could eventually surpass him. 12 16

Hashirama entrusted Torikaze and the other young shinobi with Konoha's future, and praised Torikaze's interpretation of the Will of Fire: the older generation should nourish the next, as withered leaves nourish spring buds. 18 39

Wars and Continued Protection

Although retired, Hashirama personally joined Torifu and Uchiha Chirori on a journey to the Land of Lightning to bring the Oyashiro Clan into Konoha. 157 158

During the conflict with Kumogakure, he entered Sage Mode and used Sage Art: Wood Release — True Several Thousand Hands against the Second Raikage, his brother, and Kumogakure's main force. The attack annihilated roughly fifteen thousand enemy ninja and reaffirmed Hashirama's reputation as the God of Shinobi. 199 200

Rejuvenation and Retirement

Hashirama and Mito accepted a longevity fruit from Torifu, restoring their vitality and youthful appearance. The experience also made Hashirama confront his overprotectiveness toward Tsunade and accept her independence. 225

In retirement, he remained a prominent figure in Konoha, spending time with Mito and Tsunade, watching younger generations grow, and continuing to advise Torifu, Minato, and other village leaders. 400 629 717

Six Paths Breakthrough and Clan Revival

After Torifu presented him with Realm-Breaking Qi, Hashirama finally advanced beyond the Kage level to the Six Paths Level. He regarded the breakthrough primarily as a means to make Konoha safer. 902 905

Following his victory over a Six Paths-level Trial Tower opponent, Hashirama received an advancement reward and fused Wither and Flourish Power into his Wood Release. 918 919

After travelling to the Other World, Hashirama began restoring the Senju Clan there. He reclaimed the Senju Compound, invited descendants to restore their surname, and took temporary leadership of a clan whose bloodline and ninja talent had greatly thinned over generations. 1019 1099 1130 1134

Personality

Hashirama is patient, perceptive, and invested in nurturing successors. He evaluates people beyond raw talent, values the Will of Fire, and repeatedly prioritizes the next generation's growth and Konoha's long-term security. 3 28 39 902

He is deeply affectionate toward his family and disciples, treating Torifu as a son and doting on Tsunade. This affection can become overprotectiveness, particularly regarding Tsunade's relationships and future family. 225 592 629

Despite his stature, Hashirama remains informal and playful. He enjoys games, rivalry with Tobirama, and spending time with villagers; he also quit gambling after recognizing its influence on Tsunade. 113 323 590
