Brief Profile Name: Hashirama Senju (千手柱間) Epithets: God of Shinobi (Shinobi no Kami), First Hokage Date of Birth: October 23 Clan: Senju Family: Butsuma Senju (Father), Tobirama Senju (Younger Brother), Mito Uzumaki (Wife) Key Powers: Wood Release, self-healing abilities, expert in sealing techniques. Background Hashirama grew up during the brutal Warring States Period, a time when children were sent to the battlefield and often died young. This fostered a deep hatred within him for war and the prevailing system. While by a riverbank, he befriended Madara Uchiha. The two shared a dream of creating a world without conflict and establishing a hidden village. Their friendship was tested by the bloody rivalry between the Senju and Uchiha clans, forcing them to fight as sworn enemies for years. Ultimately, their vision of peace was realized with the founding of Konohagakure. However, their shared dream was briefly fractured due to ideological differences. Personality Hashirama possessed a personality that stood in stark contrast to his majestic title: Cheerful & Humorous: Outside of battle, he often appeared silly, easily flustered, and laid-back. He would even fall into dramatic bouts of depression (hanging his head) when criticized, though he could bounce back within seconds. Idealistic & Peace-loving: He deeply yearned for peace and was willing to sacrifice his own life to prevent the deaths of his comrades or family. Wise & Forgiving: He always prioritized the safety of the village over past grudges. Despite being forced to fight his close friend (Madara), he never held a grudge and held the Uchiha in high regard. A Firm Leader: Despite having a humorous side, he is extremely firm in protecting Konohagakure and will show no mercy to anyone—even his own family—who attempts to endanger the village.
