Power Progression

Hashirama begins the story as an established shinobi. The documented developments primarily concern new cooperative techniques rather than rank promotions.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Established Wood Release user	1	Already known as the God of Shinobi. At this point, testing identifies him as the only Senju capable of using Wood Release; Dave’s plant summons appear to be a second, unusual form of it.
Majestic Attire: Senju	70	Debuts a cooperative technique combining his True Several Thousand Hands with Madara’s Susanoo. The combination follows an idea Dave previously suggested to Madara.
Expanded Majestic Attire: Senju	249	Against Dave, the Buddha gains a thousand purple swords and another hundred oversized hands. Hashirama transfers chakra to Madara, whose Rinnegan supplies a hundred meteors for those hands to carry.

Background / History

Village Founding and Family Estrangement

During the Warring States Period, Hashirama traveled with Tobirama to invite clans to establish a peaceful village. One such visit to the Sima Clan ended in a drunken encounter between Tobirama and the woman who later became Dave’s mother. Hashirama remembers enough of that night to support Dave’s account when the child arrives in Konoha 1.

Hashirama and Madara ended the age of chaos together and founded Konoha, with Hashirama becoming its First Hokage. He appointed Madara and Sasuke Sarutobi as aides, but Madara soon abandoned the administrative work, leaving Sasuke to carry the burden 59 100.

His own family life is less harmonious. A politically motivated separation from the girl Mujian loved left his son estranged from his parents. Hashirama later laments that Mujian has not visited for five or six years 6 8.

Welcoming Dave

When Dave claims to be Tobirama’s son, Hashirama demands that his brother accept responsibility for the mother and child. Dave’s Peashooter convinces both brothers that he has a Senju connection, and Hashirama beats Tobirama before the father-son reconciliation 1.

Hashirama then takes Dave to the family training ground to examine his unusual Wood Release. His enthusiasm makes him a reckless test subject: a pea penetrates his wooden wall, a Potato Mine sends him flying, and a Squash crushes his wooden protection and knocks him unconscious. Dave’s Sunflower helps him recover, revealing that the summons can heal as well as attack 2 3.

Dance Rivalry and Village Life

Madara’s invitation to dance draws Hashirama into a rivalry that soon dominates western Konoha. Hashirama forms a Senju Girl Group and builds a dedicated performance stage; their daily contests become popular enough that villagers begin settling grudges through dance battles rather than fights 17 19 20 26.

His competitiveness repeatedly spills into domestic life. After Madara claims Dave prefers him because he is more handsome, Mito agrees, leaving Hashirama sulking. His later suggestion that Mito is too old for a girl group also earns her anger; she instead develops a popular Senju square-dance group 5 19.

Tailed Beasts and the First Five Kage Summit

Hashirama subdues the Nine-Tails after it threatens Dave near Konoha’s gates. He orders Tobirama to remove Dave, takes the confrontation away from the village, and restrains the beast with Wood Release 35.

He later accepts Tobirama’s proposal to capture and sell the remaining tailed beasts to balance the great nations. Hashirama takes responsibility for the Five- through Eight-Tails while Madara handles the One- through Four-Tails. Both keep their younger brothers out of the expedition 45.

At the First Five Kage Summit, Hashirama tearfully thanks the assembled leaders and bows until his forehead strikes the table. He regards the resulting distribution of tailed beasts as the beginning of peace, though the Seven-Tails remains unsold. Tobirama prevents him from simply giving it away 50 52.

Kirigakure Retaliation

Dave’s kidnapping pushes Hashirama beyond his usual reluctance to kill. Convinced that Konoha must deter future abductions, he attacks Kirigakure alongside Madara, Tobirama, and Izuna. His wooden Buddha and Madara’s Susanoo form Majestic Attire: Senju, devastating the village 70.

The attack kills First Mizukage Byakuren and leaves Kirigakure almost entirely ruined, with only a small number of survivors. Other villages conclude that Konoha cannot safely be challenged while Hashirama and Madara remain alive 71.

Hashirama nevertheless rescues a white-haired baby from the rubble, apparently a Kaguya clansman. Once home, he avoids taking on the childcare himself and assigns the infant to Tobirama and Izuna 71.

Retirement and the Next Generation

Hashirama supports Madara’s appointment as Dave and Tsukimi’s teacher despite Tobirama’s objections. He takes Hiruzen, Danzō, and Kagami as his own disciples 64.

When Madara needs his tissue for a transplant intended to help awaken the Rinnegan, Hashirama immediately cuts flesh from his arm. He also teaches Madara a simple Wood Release technique after the transplant 77.

Four years later, Hashirama hands the Hokage hat to Tobirama and celebrates his release from office. Retirement does not eliminate his obligations: he still welcomes the Fire Daimyo and hosts Mujian and his wife, with whom his relationship has begun to soften 78 90 91.

Ancestral Revelations and Later Conflicts

After Kaguya’s return, Hashirama asks her for a Rinnegan when she restores Madara’s eye. She refuses, saying he is not suited for it. Hagoromo subsequently removes Asura’s chakra from Hashirama, and Hashirama learns that Asura is the Senju ancestor whose reincarnating chakra helped perpetuate the Senju–Uchiha feud. He welcomes the reunited family to Konoha 177 178 179.

During a tournament, Hashirama joins Madara against Dave despite having already been eliminated. Their expanded Majestic Attire: Senju faces Dave’s Plant Warrior God. The battle establishes Dave as a fighter capable of matching the Warring States Duo; all three afterward appear in wheelchairs, and Danzō commissions opposing statues of them at the newly named Valley of the End 249 250.

By the Second Five Kage Summit, Hashirama has moderated his expectations. He accepts cooperation among the villages as worthwhile peace rather than insisting on an absolute, permanent solution. Madara’s criticism of that peace sparks another duel challenge 386.

Their rivalry eventually produces a stage dance-off involving all four Senju and Uchiha brothers. Hashirama and Tobirama perform in sailor uniforms; the spectacle causes widespread emergencies, and Dave finds a third of Konoha in ruins the next morning 481.

Appearance

Hashirama has long, straight black hair, darkish legs, and exceptionally abundant body hair 481.

• Sage Mode markings: Markings appear on his face when he prepares his major senjutsu techniques 35 70 249.
• Rapidly regrowing leg hair: This nearly exposes his Zhumei disguise during the visit to Madara’s parents 287.
• Flamboyant performance costumes: His outfits include a green belly-dance costume and a tight green floral sailor uniform, the latter paired with multicolored hair spray 52 481.
• Appearance insecurity: After Madara repeatedly calls him ugly, he starts wearing facial masks supplied by Mito 12.

Personality

Hashirama is affectionate, emotionally demonstrative, and quick to welcome others into his village and family. He cries at Madara and Izuna’s reunion, readily offers accommodation to the restored ancestral family, and accepts Kakuzu into Konoha despite the latter’s previous attempt to assassinate him 37 62 179.

His commitment to peace includes mercy toward defeated enemies. He releases Kakuzu because the assassination failed and because Kakuzu risked his life on his village’s orders. That compassion has a severe limit, however: Dave’s kidnapping convinces him to participate in the destruction of Kirigakure as a deterrent 47 70 71.

He is intensely competitive with Madara. Dancing, games, races, public attention, and even the pursuit of their quarreling brothers become opportunities to settle the score. His eagerness frequently exceeds his competence, particularly in gaming and firearms 45 124 343 373.

Hashirama also avoids paperwork and is easily swayed by money. He agrees to pose as Madara’s girlfriend for payment and softens his objections to Tobirama’s resurrection research when financial considerations enter the discussion. Nevertheless, he regularly acts as the restraining voice when Tobirama proposes spreading dangerous techniques or imposing excessive training on children 16 59 282 286 376 443.

Abilities & Skills

Wood Release

Hashirama developed Wood Release and is initially its only confirmed practitioner in the Senju Clan. His techniques are included among the forbidden arts recorded in the Scroll of Seals 1 16.

• Wooden defenses: Creates walls and enclosing wood structures. Dave’s Peashooter penetrates a wall over a meter thick, while Squash destroys the wooden protection around him 3.
• Wood Dragon Technique: Restrains the Nine-Tails and absorbs its chakra. Hashirama also uses a submerged Wood Dragon to propel himself during a swimming competition 35 233.
• Wood Human Technique: Used with Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands to overpower and restrain the Nine-Tails 35.
• Construction and landscaping: Builds performance stages and plants trees to decorate a base and its bare cliff face 26 477 479.
• Instruction: Teaches Madara a Wood Release prison technique after the tissue transplant 77.

Sage Mode and True Several Thousand Hands

Hashirama uses senjutsu to summon an enormous thousand-armed wooden Buddha 70.

• Large-scale combat: The construct is central to the attack on Kirigakure and the tournament battle against Dave 70 249.
• Noncombat use: He also uses the Great Buddha for a takeout delivery to Sunagakure, embarrassing Chiyo and prompting a ban on outside-village takeout 282.
• Situational fear of heights: He is comfortable fighting atop the Buddha but panics on a Ferris wheel, explaining that combat normally keeps him from looking down 332.

Majestic Attire: Senju

A joint technique in which Madara envelops Hashirama’s thousand-armed Buddha in Susanoo 70.

• Armored assault: The combined construct destroys a substantial area of Kirigakure during its debut 70.
• Sword armament: Its thousand hands wield purple longswords during the battle against Dave 249.
• Meteor-bearing hands: An additional hundred oversized hands carry meteors generated through Madara’s Rinnegan 249.
• Shared chakra: Hashirama supplies chakra to Madara during the expanded technique 249.

Sage Body and Regeneration

Hashirama heals naturally at an extraordinary rate. When asked about medical ninjutsu, he explicitly says he does not know any, then demonstrates a palm wound closing within seconds 121.

• Fast recovery: He heals overnight during a hospital stay, though Mito still insists that he remain under care 124.
• Transplant material: His tissue nourishes Madara’s ocular power, heals lingering ailments, and enables Madara to use Wood Release 77.
• Medical risk: Tobirama warns that Hashirama’s unusually powerful tissue may cause transplant complications 77.
• Hair regrowth: His constitution causes plucked leg hair to grow back quickly enough to jeopardize a disguise 287.

Chakra Sensing and Wood Release Assessment

• Chakra recognition: Identifies Madara’s chakra from the shock waves of his battle with Dave and rushes to investigate 66.
• Ability diagnosis: Confirms that Little Mikoto possesses weak Wood Release chakra with an accommodating quality resembling both his own and Dave’s. He determines that she can safely learn both forms 313.

Movement and Disguise

• Body Flicker Technique: Uses it for rapid movement, including leaving the Hokage Building and escaping the Ferris wheel cabin 16 332.
• Transformation Technique: Initially uses it to become Zhumei; Madara instead insists on makeup because his parents’ Sharingan could detect the transformation 286.
• Acting and intimidation: Draws on previous romantic-drama acting for the Zhumei role and performs a swaggering street-punk persona for hired protection work 286 332 333.
• Chakra intimidation: Alongside Tobirama and Izuna, frightens a crowd into fleeing without an actual fight 333.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Rocket launcher — Wielded during his disguised Akatsuki attack on Kirigakure alongside Madara 138 140.

• Phone — Used for games, messaging, broadcasts, livestream support, and receiving hired-fighter orders 277 293 332 372.

Relationships

• Tobirama Senju — Younger brother and successor as Hokage. Hashirama protects him, demands accountability over Dave, restrains his forbidden-technique ambitions, and worries when he appears to be missing 1 16 45 78 428.
• Mito — Wife. She teases his insecurities, supervises his recovery, and supplies the facial masks he uses after Madara’s insults 5 12 71 124 277.
• Senju Dave — Nephew. Hashirama welcomes him into the family, investigates his plant summons, retaliates against his kidnappers, and later fights him alongside Madara 1 2 70 249.
• Mujian — Son. Their politically damaged relationship leads to years of estrangement, followed by more familiar, if still argumentative, family visits 6 8 90 91.
• Tsunade — Granddaughter. Hashirama eagerly offers to take her out, but she sometimes prefers Madara’s attention because she considers him more handsome 155.
• Nawaki — Grandson. Hashirama buys him a singing toy and later endures the leg-hair identification system Nawaki installs at the Senju residence 373 513.
• Butsuma Senju — Father. Reunited with Hashirama through Tobirama’s Impure World Reincarnation experiment 282.

• Kakuzu — Failed assassin whom Hashirama spares and later welcomes into Konoha 47 62.
• Juzo Biwa — Young protection client. Hashirama deters his bullies and gives him The Street Loafer’s Self-Cultivation after hearing his wish to become strong 332 333.
• Obito Senju — A younger member of the extended family. Hashirama argues that his happiness matters more than the elders’ extreme training plans and supports Madara as his Sharingan teacher 443 597.
