[Hero of an Age Building the Cornerstone of Ninjas]
Never entrusting his dream to the distant future, Hashirama Senju, the famed “Ninja God”, had a dream. A dream that one day, a world where young ninjas could live peacefully would come about. Overcoming the piles of victims and corpses, Hashirama founds a village of ninjas for the first time. But the prize of his eye was much farther in the future. A day when ninjas unified, helping each other and cooperating regardless of nation. Although he knew it wouldn’t be achieved during the age in which he lived, his unshakable burning “fiery will” was inherited from parent to child, child to grandchild. And now, reborn into the world, he attempts to bring it to fruition. He normally has a warm personality, but if he gets serious, he can subdue the surroundings with only the sharp look in his eyes.
A carefree and easy-going personality. An appropriate vessel for Hokage.
…The leader of shadow ninjas protecting the nation of conflagration…
Hashirama was also the one who named the ninja leader “Hokage”. The history of the village hidden in the shade of trees began here.
He who is most valiant, known as “Ninja God”
[Wood Release Ninjutsu]
The power that caused Hashirama to be called “The Strongest Ninja” was called “Wood Release”. There are bloodline limitations to Earth Release and Water Release simultaneously activating the chakras’ fundamental abilities, but even among the Senju Clan, it is a unique secret ability only Hashirama is able to use.
The ability can even silence “tailed beasts”. While continuing “Shiseki-youjin” and “Myoujinmon” arts, six wooden other selves appear! Chakra reserves know no bottom!
[Sage Art]
In addition to the rare Mokuton Ninja Art, Hashirama mastered “Sage Art”, which raised the bar for all ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. Although it is normally extremely difficult to exercise chakras for hermit sorcery in battle, Hashirama has the abitily to instantly enter “Sage Mode”.
Madara’s eternal rival from previous incarnations.
[Healing Ability]
Further worthy of admiration is his recovery ability. Commanding high-level ninja healing arts, he can heal wounds even without making hand gestures. His body itself brimming with vitality, those with Hashirama’s cells have heightened healing ability. To this day, there is no ninja existing who surpasses this power.
[Overflowing Charisma]
When Hashirama projects his voice, everyone turns to look… And it isn’t simply because he’s the legendary Hokage. It’s because each of his words exudes his feelings for the village’s ninjas, and in them resides the weight of the truth. The “fiery will” behind Hashirama’s words stirs the hearts of all.
Hashirama’s “thundering yell” lights the fire of ambition in the hearts of all.
[Hashirama’s sought-after cells… in Madara… in Orochimaru]
Hashirama’s artificial body of Madara’s creation
The unparalleled recovery ability of Hashirama’s body could even exhibit that ability in the bodies of others. Madara lived on by transplanting into a wound Hashirama’s cells that he obtained in the Battle of the Valley of the End. In addition, by using the Demon Statue as a catalyst, he cultivated living cells to create an artificial body of Hashirama. Even the critically wounded Obito healed his injuries by transplanting half of an artificial body.
Hashirama’s face appears wherever his cells have been implanted. The cells are alive, but have no awareness.
[As a result of Orochimaru’s human experiments…]
For Orochimaru, who had an insatiable desire for immortality, Hashirama’s regenerative abilities were a critical target of research. In order to make the power hidden in the cells his, he repeated experiments and misused them for the development of forbidden arts. Yamato, the founder’s clone, was an unfortunate product of this. That unrivaled characteristic was one of the substantiating factors for Hashirama being the strongest ninja.
Thirsty for Senju’s power, Danzou buries Hashirama’s cells deep into his own body.
The current reborn Orochimaru. Most of his body is made up of cells from Hashirama.
[Senju and Uchiha―― The edge of unstoppable destiny]
[Dreams Discussed]
The warring states period of valiant ninjas――.
Hashirama and Madara had a fateful chance meeting. Hashirama and Madara, having recently seen the deaths of some young boys, became aware of the wrongs in the world and unified their wills. The two used to be friends who trusted each other, but… Not knowing they are long-standing rivals, the two communicated their thoughts. The time they spent together was their only relaxation. His single hope was for a place that would become a village hidden in the shade of trees, and he told Madara about this dream. The future was full of hope.
[The clan of the Sage of Six Path's lineage]
Tracing back to the genesis of ninjas, Senju and Uchiha’s thread of connection. Both clans take the Sage of Six Path as their founder, and strongly inherit that power. Moreover, Hashirama and Madara are the reincarnations of the the Sage of Six Paths’s sons Ashura and Indra, respectively.
The rivalry between Hashirama and Madara may be unavoidable destiny. Hashirama is Ashura; Madara is Indra. The karma of Indra, the genius older brother, and Ashura, the younger brother who inherited his father’s will, was to go beyond their generation and start a war.
The Konoha's Senju Clan and the Uzushio's Uzumaki Clan are ninjas of distant blood relation… The Uzumaki Clan, a distant relative of the Senju Clan, could also be said to be a lineage of the Sage of Six Paths.
[Fate that starts to come apart at the seams]
Hashirama and Madara’s fate suddenly starts to come apart at the seams. Senju and Uchiha――When their true forms were revealed, Hashirama and Madara’s “friend” relationship fleetingly announced its end. The two would both soon become the leaders of their respective clans, and the cold fate of the two clans to be at odds would only intensify… You know, the next time we meet will be on the battlefield, Senju Hashirama… Right after he announced the split to Hashirama, Madara’s Sharingan awoke.
[Bringing their shared dream to life――]
Amidst the seemingly never-ending battle, Hashirama persistently continued to send the Uchiha clan offers of a truce. Hashirama’s unwavering will to create a future for ninjas finally melted Madara’s cold heart. The two clans shook hands, and the dream they had dreamt in their younger days of creating a peaceful village began to take shape… At the end of a valiant landscape-altering battle, Hashirama dealt a finishing blow to his former friend Madara. It was like a dream…Uchiha and Senju shook hands. No longer would many become victims… No longer would children need to die…… This is how the Ninja Clan Federation Village System was born.
[The sad time of parting ways]
However, the cycle of reincarnation would accelerate. Madara, who once again parted ways with Hashirama, launched an assault on Konoha. The only thing that was in Hashirama’s heart after ending the battle―― was one resolve. It was a resolve he had to bear as a ninja, not for looking to the future, but for watching over the present. No matter if it’s a friend, a sibling, or a child… Those who do wrong to the village won’t be forgiven.
