His granddaughter Tsunade wears a necklace he left her, and his fame rests on Wood Style, a wood technique no one else could master. During the invasion of Konoha, Orochimaru revives him with the Impure World Reincarnation along with his brother Tobirama to fight Hiruzen, their former student. Controlled and without a will, Hashirama grows an entire forest on the roof where they are fighting. Hiruzen takes his soul with the Reaper Death Seal. That brief appearance, without a line of his own, is enough to show the scale of his power: a single man reshapes the terrain at will.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-122","pos":122},{"h":"A dream by the river","t":"Hashirama's story arrives almost entirely in a long account during the war. In the era of the warring clans, children die in battle from a young age; Hashirama, of the Senju clan, loses two brothers. By a river he meets a boy who skips stones like him: Madara, of the Uchiha clan, the Senju's sworn enemy. Without knowing who the other is, they become friends and share a dream, a village where children do not have to fight. When their fathers discover the bond, the two must choose between friendship and their clans, and they end up enemies. Hashirama never abandons the idea of that river: everything he does afterward is an attempt to keep that childhood promise.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-623","pos":623},{"h":"The founding of Konoha","t":"As adults and leaders of their clans, Hashirama and Madara clash again and again. After the death of Izuna, Madara's brother, Hashirama offers him a truce; Madara demands, as proof, that he kill himself or his brother. Hashirama agrees to take his own life, and Madara stops him: that gesture seals the alliance between the Senju and the Uchiha. Thus Konoha is born, and Hashirama, chosen as Hokage, distributes tailed beasts among the villages to balance power. But distrust of the Uchiha grows, and Madara, convinced his clan will be betrayed, leaves the village. Hashirama chooses the village over his friend, a decision that haunts him for the rest of the story.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-625","pos":625},{"h":"The Valley of the End","t":"Madara returns with the Nine-Tails under his control to destroy the village they helped found. The battle between them is so enormous that it changes the geography: the place will later be known as the Valley of the End. Hashirama defeats him and, to protect Konoha, runs him through with his sword, convinced it is his duty as Hokage. What he does not know is that Madara foresaw that ending and took cells from his body with which he will plan his return. That fight is remembered throughout the work as the origin of the rivalry between Senju and Uchiha that repeats in other generations. Hashirama tells all this with remorse: the victory was also the loss of his only true friend.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-626","pos":626},{"h":"His legacy in other bodies","t":"Although Hashirama has been dead for decades, his cells appear throughout Part II. Yamato controls wood thanks to Orochimaru's experiments, and Danzō has his power grafted onto his arm, with which he uses Wood Style in battle. The White Zetsu who make up the enemy army in the war are made from those cells, and Madara himself, once revived, displays wood techniques that copy his. His chakra is so valuable that every long-term plan wants to possess it: combined with the Uchiha's, it approaches the power of the Sage of Six Paths. Without meaning to, the village's founder ends up as the raw material for many of the threats Naruto faces.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-575","pos":575},{"h":"An answer for Sasuke","t":"Orochimaru revives the four Hokage again, this time with their wills intact, so that Sasuke can ask them what a village is and what it means to be a ninja. Hashirama answers with his whole story, from the river to the Valley of the End, without hiding his mistakes. He insists that Konoha was born to protect children and that the Uchiha were also part of that dream. Hearing him, and knowing that Itachi lived and died for those ideas, pushes Sasuke to decide to protect the village. Hashirama, who always believed in reconciliation, sees in Naruto and Sasuke a new version of his friendship with Madara. He decides to go to war alongside the other Hokage.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-627","pos":627},{"h":"Against the Ten-Tails","t":"The Hokage reach the battlefield and raise a red barrier around the Ten-Tails so it cannot escape. Hashirama holds it while the young ones attack and, from there, recognizes that Obito, now a jinchūriki, already surpasses him in power. He remembers the first meeting of the five Kage, when he offered tailed beasts to the other villages to prevent an arms race. When he finally faces Madara, he activates his Sage Mode and immobilizes him with his wood, convinced his old friend can still listen to him. Madara, however, absorbs his natural chakra and defeats him. Hashirama is left pinned to the ground, but he can still transfer to Sasuke the chakra he needs.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-661","pos":661},{"h":"The last conversation","t":"When the war ends, Madara, defeated and dying, lies beside Hashirama. For the first time in decades, the two speak without hatred: Madara admits his friend's dream came true in a way he could not see, and Hashirama tells him he always considered him his brother. Madara dies at his side, free of resentment. Afterward, the Hokage say goodbye to the living before the Impure World Reincarnation dissolves. The village's founder leaves having closed the wound he opened at the Valley of the End, and leaving his dream in the hands of two boys who fight again in the same place.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-692","pos":692}],"facts":[{"k":"Estado","v":"Deceased","lvl":0},{"k":"Cumpleaños","v":"October 23","lvl":0},{"k":"Altura","v":"185.1 cm","lvl":0},{"k":"Rango","v":"First Hokage","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-118","pos":118},{"k":"Afiliación","v":"Konohagakure · Senju clan","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-118","pos":118},{"k":"Seiyū","v":"Takayuki Sugō","lvl":0},{"k":"Doblaje latino","v":"Andrés Gutiérrez Coto","lvl":0}],"techniques":[{"name":"Wood Style","kind":"kekkei-genkai","lvl":0,"article":"mokuton","ch":"naruto-120","kindLabel":"Kekkei genkai","pos":120},{"name":"Sage Mode","kind":"modo","lvl":1,"article":"senjutsu","ch":"naruto-656","kindLabel":"Modo","pos":656},{"name":"Four Hokage barrier","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"fuinjutsu","ch":"naruto-632","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":632},{"name":"Birth of a forest","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"mokuton","ch":"naruto-120","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":120}],"quote":{"t":"We will create a place where children don't have to kill each other.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-623","pos":623},"debut":{"ch":"naruto-118","ep":"naruto-69"}},"mito":{"intro":"The bond between the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha also has a story of care and responsibility.","history":"Mito is an Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju's wife.

The two coffins open on the roof where Hiruzen is trapped, and the Third has to fight his own teachers.

In the era of the warring clans, the two brothers watch their younger brothers die and dream of bringing peace, though Tobirama is always the more distrustful. When Hashirama befriends Madara, Tobirama does not hide that he considers the Uchiha a danger. As adults, in one of the battles between clans, he mortally wounds Izuna, Madara's brother, an event that deepens the hatred between both families. Later he accepts the alliance that founds Konoha, but keeps watch over the Uchiha.

Surrounded by a far superior enemy force, someone has to stay behind as a decoy so the others can escape. Hiruzen volunteers before Danzō, and Tobirama names him his successor as Hokage before going out himself to face the pursuers. That scene explains the lifelong rivalry between Danzō and Hiruzen, and shows a Tobirama who, despite his coldness, is willing to sacrifice himself for his students. It also makes clear that the Third Hokage was chosen by him and that much of his way of leading comes from that teaching.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-481","pos":481},{"h":"The clan that loves too much","t":"Orochimaru revives the four Hokage again, now with their wills intact, so that Sasuke can ask them about the village.

When Sasuke demands the truth about his clan, Tobirama explains his view: the Uchiha value love so much that, when they lose it, that affection turns into an equally intense hatred, and that hatred awakens and strengthens their Sharingan. The explanation is harsh and partial, and Sasuke receives it with fury; Tobirama almost fights him right there. Hashirama stops him. It is the scene that best shows his distrust of the clan, a mix of analysis and prejudice.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-620","pos":620},{"h":"A concession to the Uchiha","t":"As Second Hokage, Tobirama gives practical shape to the village his brother dreamed of. During the war, the revived Hokage go over what each of them left behind and what each did wrong. Tobirama does not apologize for his distrust of the Uchiha, but he does not present it as blind hatred either: he remembers clan members who put the village above everything, like Kagami, and acknowledges that not all Uchiha fit his suspicion. Hearing how Itachi sacrificed his family for Konoha forces him to admit that the clan held within it the same Will of Fire he defended. It is a rare moment for a character so sure of his judgment: he does not change his mind entirely, but he qualifies it. For Sasuke, hearing that concession from the Hokage who was hardest on his clan carries special weight.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-627","pos":627},{"h":"Speed on the front","t":"The four Hokage reach the battlefield against Obito and the Ten-Tails.

They find her in a tavern in Tanzaku, where she lives traveling with her assistant Shizune, gambling and almost always losing. Orochimaru has already visited her: he asked her to heal his sealed arms and offered in return to revive her loved ones. Tsunade rejects the title of Hokage and mocks it, and Naruto challenges her. She bets her necklace that the boy cannot master the Rasengan in a week. Shizune tells Naruto the story of that necklace, which belonged to the First Hokage: Tsunade gave it to her brother Nawaki and later to Dan, and both died dreaming of being Hokage. For her, the necklace brings death to whoever wears it.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-160","pos":160},{"h":"Overcoming the fear of blood","t":"The night before the deadline, Tsunade drugs Jiraiya and goes to meet Orochimaru. She pretends to accept the deal, but at the last moment attacks him: she has decided not to betray the village. The problem is something else: since Dan's death, blood paralyzes her, and Kabuto takes advantage by covering her in his own. Naruto steps in, takes blow after blow and lands a full Rasengan on Kabuto. When Orochimaru is about to kill him, Tsunade plants herself in front and takes the sword. Seeing in Naruto the future Hokage that Nawaki and Dan never became breaks her paralysis: she releases the seal on her forehead, regenerates and announces she will be the Fifth Hokage. Then comes the fight of the three Sannin with their summons, and Tsunade hangs the necklace on Naruto.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-171","pos":171},{"h":"First decisions as Hokage","t":"Tsunade arrives in Konoha and, at Naruto's request, first treats Kakashi and Sasuke, trapped in Itachi's genjutsu. She examines Rock Lee, left shattered after his fight with Gaara, and tells him the operation he needs has a fifty-fifty chance of success and that, if it fails, he may die. She advises him to give up ninja life, but ends up operating on him successfully the same day Sasuke leaves the village. Faced with that desertion, she tasks Shikamaru, the only new chūnin, with forming a team from the available genin. They are the decisions of someone who has just taken office, with few jōnin at hand and a village still in ruins, and they show her style: she takes risks, but she trusts the young.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-184","pos":184},{"h":"Sakura's teacher","t":"When the retrieval mission fails, Sakura asks Tsunade to make her a medical ninja. Tsunade agrees, and the bond between them becomes one of the character's pillars: she passes on not only medical ninjutsu but also her fine chakra control, which lets her focus it on an exact point to multiply the force of a blow. During the timeskip years, Sakura trains under her while Naruto travels with Jiraiya. Shippūden shows the result: Sakura shatters rocks with a punch and makes complex antidotes, and Tsunade treats her as a successor. There is an evident parallel with Shizune, her first assistant, and with Tsunade herself when she learned from Hiruzen.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-236","pos":236},{"h":"Governing in the time of the Akatsuki","t":"In Shippūden, Tsunade organizes Konoha's response to the Akatsuki. She sends Kakashi's team to rescue the Kazekage, puts together a new Team 7 with Sai and Yamato and, after Asuma's death, first holds Team 10 back and then lets it go when Kakashi offers to accompany it. Meanwhile, she supports Jiraiya's mission in Amegakure, though she senses the danger. The news of his death hits her hard: she had let him go and now must tell Naruto. Those chapters show a Tsunade more burdened, less explosive and more aware of the weight of the post she once despised, who leans on Shizune and her advisers so as not to break down in front of others.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-405","pos":405},{"h":"Katsuyu over the village","t":"When Pain attacks Konoha, Tsunade summons Katsuyu and splits her into thousands of small slugs that spread through the village to protect and heal the population, feeding them with her own chakra. From the tower roof she receives reports on the fighting, including the information Chōji brings about the Deva Path. When the attacker flattens the village, she keeps sustaining the wounded and confronts Pain without revealing where Naruto is. At the end of the attack, exhausted from using so much chakra, she falls into a coma. The advisers take advantage of that power vacuum, and the Land of Fire's feudal lord names Danzō as Sixth Hokage. Tsunade's decision to give everything for the villagers leaves Konoha without its Hokage at the worst moment.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-450","pos":450},{"h":"The awakening and the Alliance","t":"Tsunade wakes just as Kakashi is about to be named Hokage, and the ceremony is called off. She returns to her post with the Shinobi Alliance already under way and takes her place among the five Kage. During the war, when Naruto and Killer B escape the island to join the fight, the Raikage wants to stop them by force. Tsunade sides with the two jinchūriki and defends the decision to let Naruto fight. The change is striking: the same woman who mocked dreams of being Hokage now trusts a boy to decide the course of the war. That gesture connects with the necklace she gave him in Tanzaku and with everything she learned from him.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-543","pos":543},{"h":"Five Kage against Madara","t":"When Madara Uchiha appears on the battlefield, Tsunade and the Raikage move to the front and the five Kage gather to face him. Madara looks down on her, and she answers that she has inherited the Will of Fire. Tsunade then explains the rules of medical ninja and their exception: only one who masters the Strength of a Hundred Seal may fight on the front line. With that chakra reserve she heals the other Kage while fighting, and together they manage to bring Madara down for a moment. He responds with his complete Susanoo and defeats them. When the Impure World Reincarnation is released, the soul of Dan, who had been summoned in the war, protects her and returns her chakra in a last gesture before disappearing.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-591","pos":591},{"h":"Cut in two","t":"Madara leaves the Kage defeated and Tsunade cut in half; she survives thanks to the Strength of a Hundred Seal and to Katsuyu, whom she asks for help. Orochimaru arrives with Suigetsu and Karin and heals her, in an awkward reunion between the former teammates. Recovered, Tsunade returns to the front with the Kage and uses Katsuyu to tend to the whole Alliance, while Orochimaru works with the resurrected Hokage. Once the war is over, Tsunade steps down and Kakashi becomes the Sixth Hokage. Her path closes as a mirror of its beginning: the woman who had fled Konoha out of grief ends up holding the village up with her own body, giving way to the generation she helped train.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-699","pos":699}],"facts":[{"k":"Estado","v":"Alive","lvl":0},{"k":"Cumpleaños","v":"August 2","lvl":0},{"k":"Edad","v":"51","lvl":0},{"k":"Edad","v":"54–55","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-245","pos":245},{"k":"Altura","v":"163.1 cm","lvl":0},{"k":"Rango","v":"Sannin","lvl":0},{"k":"Rango","v":"Fifth Hokage","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-171","pos":171},{"k":"Rango","v":"Sannin (retired as Hokage)","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-699","pos":699},{"k":"Afiliación","v":"Konohagakure","lvl":0},{"k":"Seiyū","v":"Masako Katsuki","lvl":0},{"k":"Doblaje latino","v":"Dulce Guerrero","lvl":0}],"techniques":[{"name":"Chakra-enhanced strength","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"taijutsu","ch":"naruto-158","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":158},{"name":"Creation Rebirth","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"byakugo","ch":"naruto-169","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":169},{"name":"Katsuyu Summoning","kind":"invocacion","lvl":0,"article":"invocaciones","ch":"naruto-170","kindLabel":"Invocación","pos":170},{"name":"Medical ninjutsu","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"ninjutsu","ch":"naruto-172","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":172},{"name":"Katsuyu Division","kind":"invocacion","lvl":1,"article":"invocaciones","ch":"naruto-422","kindLabel":"Invocación","pos":422},{"name":"Byakugō Seal","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"article":"byakugo","ch":"naruto-577","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":577}],"quote":{"t":"I will protect them, this boy and the village, because I am the Fifth Hokage.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-169","pos":169},"debut":{"ch":"naruto-139","ep":"naruto-83"},"databook":{"fuente":"Tsunade","sha":[5,5,3.5,5,5,3.5,4,4]}},"nawaki":{"intro":"The wish to become Hokage holds an important place in his sister's memory.","history":"Nawaki is Tsunade's younger brother and dreams of becoming Hokage.
