The incredible power of Hashirama has been discussed many times in the Base. However, since the last manga release we might know the origin of his hype.
Until now everything we know about him is:
-He has ridiculous chakra reserves.
-He is the only Mokuton user. (not counting Yamato, Danzo, etc. as they adquired it thanks to Hashi)
-He uses Senjutsu.
Now, the questions that some people might ask are:
-Why does he have that much chakra?
-Why is he the only one in his clan, and possibly the Narutoverse, able to use the Mokuton?
While reading the last release I realized what the answers to these questions might be:
The God Tree's Forbidden Fruit
Hashirama may have eaten the the fruit. Why do I think this?
-Firstly, Madara said something very important:
"Do you want me to explain what happened afterward to the person who ate the forbidden fruit to stop the struggle?" He says it as if Hashirama already knew it. Basically because it was himself.
The *********** translation says something similar:
"Man tried to stop war by getting their hands on the fruit... I don't need to explain to you how that worked out, do I?"
-The forbidden fruit appears once every millennium, it's perfectly possible to assume that more than 1000 years passed since the last time it appeared, as every shinobi and even the samurais are descendants of the Sage's mom. It takes some time to have that many grand-grand-grand-grand-grandchildren. The fruit could have appeared in some rests of the God Tree (roots, branches, who knows?) and he could have found it or searched it (if he knew about its existence thanks to some Senju stone shrine).
-Hashirama has an incredible amount of chakra. You could say that it is because of his Senju lineage, but Tobirama himself pales in comparison with his brother. These ridiculous chakra reserves may be due to the ingestion of this powerful fruit.
-Hashirama is the only Mokuton user we know in Narutoverse (not counting Yamato, etc.), nobody in his clan has it. The interesting thing about this are the similarities between his Mokuton and the God Tree.
The God Tree absorbs chakra just like Hashi's Wood Dragon.
-At last, Hashirama is the oldest character that uses Senjutsu, and the Juubi aka God Tree is a huge amount of Senjutsu Chakra. Did you notice he almost didn't spend time collecting Senjutsu chakra in his fight with Madara or against the Juubi?
In my opinion, Hashirama ate the fruit to stop the wars and adquired amazing abilities, including the Mokuton, we never saw a kid Hashirama use Mokuton, the first time we see him use it, he is already older... after eating the fruit.
We know Senju DNA is one of the most important and powerful things everybody wants. It should be called Hashirama DNA, as not every Senju's DNA works. Even Madara fought him to obtain this power.
Maybe he needed it to obtain the Rinnegan, maybe he needed it to create the Gedo Mazo, or maybe he needed the Shinsuusenju to use it as the Juubi's shell.
