Its apparant that Hashirama is reason Tsunade has a gambling habit and he quoted her a couple times. However, if we go by the timeline, Hashirama shouldnt have even have found he had was having a granddaughter for he died before Tsunade was even concieved.

Hiruzen is 18 years older than the Sannin and he was 18 when he became Hokage and when Tobirama died. Its a fact that Hashirama died years before Tobirama did. That means Tsunade was born the year Hiruzen turned 18. Hashirama shouldnt even know about Tsunade.

Quite a plot hole if you ask me.

That's correct, it's stated in at least 2 books from Kishimoto that Hashirama died shortly after founding of the village and before Tobirama :)

It can fit in the timeline, but that requires Tsunade starting gambling and becoming super strong before she turned 10, and this requires Hashirama to die the same year as Tobirama, in other words, Tobirama dies few months inside a war, after starting shinobi academy and police force.

This is of course not well planned by Kishi, and it kinda narrows the timeline a lot.. Well there is a lot of things Kishi did not plan for in his plot. He is actually making most of it up as he goes, so no point in criticizing this now, as it has been going on for hundreds of chapters :| Nobody are perfect, when writing something over 12 years, well except Stephen King maybe, lol.

I kind of answered this in my old timeline thread:

"All three Sannin were 6 years old when they first became a part of Hiruzen's team, which is right after they graduated the Ninja Academy. That would be 48 years ago. It is also said that Hiruzen was already Hokage when the Sannin became part of his team. Hiruzen would have been 21 at that time. We know when Hiruzen became Hokage, it was during the battle in the First War when Tobirama became the decoy and sacrificed himself so that Team Tobirama could live. So he had to have become Hokage sometime before he was 21. We know he was in Team Tobirama when he was little with Homura and Koharu:

(Picture of Hiruzen as a child with Tobirama goes here, link from my old thread is dead)

They were both a few years older than Hiruzen, so I am speculating that they were 10 years old when they graduated the Ninja Academy and concurrently went into the team, and that Hiruzen was about 6 or 7, and the war was not going on then. I would imagine Hiruzen was about 17 or 18 when he became Hokage that say that Tobirama died. I cannot see him being really any younger, since that would odd for someone even younger than that becoming Hokage. So that would mean the War was about 52 years ago. Another point is that IF the War was indeed 52 years ago, there is a scene where Hashirama was with a child Tsunade, so that scene would fit the timeline of events. Tsunade would have been 2 years old when the war happened, so Hashirama could have indeed been in a scene with her before the war according to this. Note: Danzo would have been 20 during the battle Tobirama died, and Kagami would have been around the same age, probably 18-20.

Now Hashirama was his older brother, so he had to have been a little older than Tobirama, I would say at the most he was 5 years older. So that means he would be 82-95 years old today. Hashirama trained Hiruzen also, so he was definitely alive some time shortly before the First World War. That would mean Hashirama and Madara fought in their epic battle when they were 30-40 years old most likely. "

Hiruzen was 68 or 69 when he died, Tobirama would be 82~92 years old today. Tsunade is 54 today(same with Jiraiya and Orochimaru). So it works, at least with the gambling part, Hashirama knowing about her strength is kind of weird though, but who knows maybe she was strong even as a 5 year old or something. I think Tsunade was only born 2 years or so before the start of the first war, so Hashirama would have still been alive, since he was alive shortly before the first war. Anyway, needs updating since I wrote that a long time ago, and some things weren't revealed yet.
