I think I know who Senju Hashirama's Sensei was!

[iSpeak the Truth]

This is just a guess.....

But it does have some basis in fact.

Tobirama to Hiruzen

Hiruzen to Jiraiya(originally, but he refused) so it went...

Hiruzen to Minato

Minato died, Hiruzen had no choice but to reclaim leadership.

Hiruzen to Tsunade

Tsunade to Kakashi(Stand in Hokage. Almost officially became Hokage, but Tsunade recovered.)

Tsunade to Naruto(It's obvious)


The Hokage-ship of Konoha has always stayed within the Hokage's students and teammates.

So I believe that Hashirama's teacher and possibly the previous leader of all the clans before Konoha was created and Hashirama came into power was none other than...

Spoiler

The Sandaime Hokage's Father, Sarutobi Sasuke!

The man Uchiha Sasuke is named after.

 

[MickNerks]

Intresting, theory.. Quite possible. It would explain why hashirama and tobirama both sensei'd hiruzen.

 

[Noobastank]

hmmmmmm i can dig it

 

[Joten Uchiha]

Could be, that would be a great way to expand on Sasuke Sarutobi's character also we'd understand why Hiruzen was taken under the First and Seconds wing, there had to have been a reason and this is the perfect one.

 

[FireBird Marco]

Hashirama didn't have a sensei, he trained with his brother Tobirama Senju and his Senju clan before claiming and forming the Leaf village.

 

[CharlieBundels]

So when Hiruzen was a kid, his father was way older than Hashirama?

and made him Hokage xD

 

[awesome One]

yeah thought about that already

 

[PredictionGuru]

wat

Is that in the manga? That Hashirama didn't have a sensei?

Yes

 

[Khallil]

could be, but it also could have been the senju ancestor, the younger son

 

[awesome One]

or maybe he was trained by that old Uzumaki Guy......
you never know trained under uzumaki master and married to a hot girl from uzumaki clan.
yeah thats possible

I am thalking about this old uzumaki guy

[SonicBoom]

Shame we don't know more about Sasuke Sarutobi. I dunno if he would have been Hashirama's sensei (since the leaf village wasn't formed yet).

 

[Owarij]

Possible, explains why both senju brothers taught Hiruzen instead of just one..they seemed to have a special relationship with Hiruzen...

Sasuke Sarutobi was apparently a legendary ninja just as Hashirama/Madara became

 

[KingHashirama]

Wrong, Sasuke Sarutobi would have to be the same age as Hashirama. And also, Hashirama is the first leader of the Village. And also, only other man close to his power was Edo Madara. And he was the leader of the Senju.. why the hell would someone else from other clan be his sensei? makes no sense.

Fanboying the Sarutobi clan leads to more fanboying.

His sensei was probably the ex-leader of the Senju clan, before Hashirama came to power.

To be more accurate, it was mostly Tobirama. But Sasuke was probaly the leader of the Sarutobi clan and Hashirama's friend.

 

[iSpeak the Truth]

Shame we don't know more about Sasuke Sarutobi. I dunno if he would have been Hashirama's sensei (since the leaf village wasn't formed yet).

He would have just been in charge of all the clans like Hashirama was before Konoha was formed.

Agreed

Yes

The role of sensei hadn't been established yet in the olden times before the hidden village was created.
Everyone fought to be on top, and the one's who were on top trained all the time with their fellow clansmen.
Good thought, but no.
Edit: And, it's kind of a timeline issue. Hashirama is 20-30 years older then Hiruzen, and his father is older then hashirama?

 

[Owarij]

Sasuke Sarutobi would have to be the same age as Hashirama.

Nothing suggests that, at all...

There would have been senseis LONG.. before the village system started.. If someone taught you, he's your sensei..
The people the sage of six paths taught, were his students, and vice versa..

In the time of constant war, there were clans.. and without a doubt there would have been alliances...
EG, Senju may have had a mutual friendship with the sarutobi clan.. etc
Noone said that every clan fought each other

 

[SomeOddStudios]

No, In order to become hokage you have to have had some form of training or connection to the previous, Even though ANruto is a good choice, Kakashi is still the runner up... After kakashi then maybe naruto but until then Naruto has to understand the fully responsibilty of being hokage, he still is unorthodox and hot headed..Which clouds judgement. I agree he is the perfect choice, but realistically he is still a Genin because of his unpredictable ways...

 

[Talal]

It would be pretty cool. I doubt it though, because he probably had a sensei before Konoha so his sensei being a Sarutobi doesn't make much sense.
