Tobirama Senju. The second Hokage. The brother of first Hokage. The teacher of third Hokage. The inspiration of fourth Hokage. The uncle of fifth Hokage. The maker of signature Jutsu of seventh Hokage.

The carrier of will of fire.

Tobirama Senju is a Hokage who proved himself one of the most capable and strongest Shinobi in Naruto world.

But the purpose of this thread is to point out his incredible intelligence, insight and knowledge.


Biological knowledge

Tobirama knew the way Sharingan works, including how chakra it released during awakening affected the brain.
He studied Uchiha bodies and learned many things about Uchiha.
He was quickly able to assess that Orochimaru was capable of restraining him because his newly obtained Senju cells were aiding him in controlling Shinobi revived with Edo Tensei.
He was able to assist Kabuto to heal Sasuke with his knowledge of healing and Senju genes, while being pinned down with Madara's rods.

Battle tactics and strategies

Tobirama had a mindset that prioritized being as effective as possible. So, he often resorted to surprise attacks and exploiting any possible weaknesses or advantages, showing no mercy to his opponents.
Among the tactics he often used was using Kage Bunshin.
Unlike other users of Edo Tensei, Tobirama had special protocols for using Edo Tensei. First of all, he understood that the more power and personality summoned Shinobi are left with, likelier is possibility of them rebelling or acting on their own. This proved true numerous times, from Shinobi who felt inner satisfaction disappearing, to disobedient Shinobi who lost on purpose, to Shinobi who intentionally tried to free themselves, to Shinobi who were free to begin with until they were further restrained.
On top of that, Tobirama had a special tactics for using Edo Tensei. He was the only Shinobi to use Edo Tensei Shinobi he revived for incredibly strong selfdestruction technique which takes advantage of Edo Tensei Shinobi constantly regenerating and not having himself fight.
Another tactic was having revived Shinobi getting hit on purpose with the intention of learning opponents abilities, restraining them or using other tactics.
He proved he had great ability to coordinate himself with others for using advanced tactics, including highly advanced tactic were he along with Minato pretended Naruto and Sasuke would be a support, while actually having them be the main offensive force, at the same time diverting Obito's attention to his back, knowing he Minato's action would make him let his guard and when that happened he touched obito and switched with Minato. And when Obito was hit with the main attack, he teleported back to Minato.

Analytical abilities during battle

Even though not many of his battles were shown, Tobirama has shown incredible analytical abilities during battles.
He was capable of analyzing various situations during their fight against Juubi.
Before Obito became Jinchuriki he realized Minato already placed a mark on him before the fight. After Obito became Jinchuriki, he predicted explosive tags would not be enough to defeat him.
He noticed that Minato's hand was not regenerating. He also realized that Obito was using Onmyoudon and that his attacks stopped Edo Tensei from regenerating.
He was also very quick to understand strengths and weaknesses of Shinobi in his team.
He was also capable of finding out that Sage Jutsu was a weakness of Obito and that Naruto entered Sage mode while preparing to attack.
He was able to quickly understand how Naruto and Minato managed to save Shinobi alliance and gave a very advanced explanation.
He was also the only one to stop Naruto before again attacking Obito without using Sage mode.

The invention genius

Tobirama invented many Jutsu.
He invented Kage Bunshin, which later became Naruto's signature Jutsu.
He invented Hiraishin, which later became Minato's signature Jutsu.
He also invented Edo Tensei, the Jutsu that greatly influenced the world and that was mostly used by Orochimaru and Kabuto.
He also mentions creating a presumably unknown forbidden Soul sending Jutsu.
Considering all his inventions and mindset, it is very likely he also created some other Jutsu.

The village leading skills

Tobirama created academy, Anbu and Chunin exams.
Tobirama also created ranks such as Genin, Chunin and Jonin.
During his leadership, Konoha was never destroyed or under great damage.

It is important to note that other villages adopted the same system Tobirama created.

The political skills

Even when a child, Tobirama knew that to reach more peaceful times, adults should set the rules and abide by them.
He decided Hokage needs to be approved democratically, with Jonin being most important in approving the candidate is worthy of being Hokage.
After Madara was defeated, he was very careful not to let another Uchiha like Madara appear. In order to give them an important role they were good at, while being able to control them and distancing them from leadership, he also created Konoha Police Military force. While many people disapprove of his action, it should be noted that this prevented any major Uchiha rebelions during his lifetime. And also keep in mind that Uchiha were actually proud of leading the police.
Even if you were to say this was controversial, it is still a testament to his intelligence and his skills.

Also, while Hashirama was a Hokage, it was actually Tobirama that negotiated with other villages. He also decided that Bijuu should not be given and that certain contributions had to be made.

Knowledge of the world

Tobirama knew about Sage of Six Paths and Onmyoudon more than normal person.
He was aware of many different Jutsu and history.
He also knew about Sage mode and mount Myouboku.
And there were many moments where he has shown his great knowledge of the Naruto world.

Will of fire

He also was a Hokage with a will of fire. He had been a great teacher. He taught that village should be prioritized, not a single clan. He inspired devotion to village to different Shinobi, even if they had different approach to protecting it.

And he died sacrificing himself for those important to him. And before he went to afterworld, he entrusted the future to the new generation. Twice.

Yep.

Out of the intelligent people in Naruto, he has shown to be the most rounded and intelligent in different ways. It's only natural considering his $wag flooded the universe.

I agree he definitely is the smartest character in NV.
He was also known to have rustled many Uchiha including Madara himself

They are many who hates him for how he handled the Uchiha Clan after his brother death

Overly sensitive and salty types.


It's not like he tied them up in a dungeon and fed them dog food; they were given authority and as Tobirama himself noted; most of them were great at policing.

He just gave them the most suitable work for an Uchiha to maintain order

This is true. He gave the Hokage mantle to Hiruzen, who was the longest running Hokage that did a lot of good. The only mistake Tobirama did was put the Uchiha far from where Konoha is.
