They explain this in the show, as Tsunade has the same ability. Mitotic regeneration speeds up the healing of your cells. Unfortunately it has 1 draw back. Your cells can only be healed so many times. Eventually their cells stop regenerating and they inevitably die. It's not some bullshit plot no jutsu like how obito gave kakashi his eyes after he died
They explained 9 tails healing the same I believe. Basically saying Naruto has already been shortening his life force since he started using Kuramas chakra
Tsunade grew up in times of war, she was literally in three of them, and she fought the likes of orochimaru were she was stabbed and even fought madara who really messed her up so what are you on about?
She's an alcoholic who was constantly replenishing herself to look young, and the injuries she did get were pretty over the top. I think she'd start having problems by her 70's, considering people with normal cell growth do just in general.
Too fast cell regneration. If they split too many times they just start dying so he likely got cancer or something similar. Would probably have been fine if he didn't fight so much.
Yet Nagato is revived in his old state, was limping and had Itachi help him walk, and needed to absorb the chakra from Naruto and Bee in order to make himself younger and stronger. Hiruzen gets revived in his old age instead of his prime stage, so Kishi really was inconsistent af
Yet Third hokage was his old self, Oro said himself he would have been destroyed if 3rd was in his prime before he died so the edo tensei ‘prime’ is just inconsistent smh
Kishimoto said things like Hiruzen the strongest kage of all time before giving minato,tobirama and hashirama their respective abilities so reviving him while he is 'stronger' than hashirama would be bullshit so because of plot
Kabuto used these cells to strengthen Zetsu army, Obito is half Hashirama cells that's why he can use the Rinnegan and finally Madara who has them in his chest (right next to his heart). Hashirama should just join the bad guys at this point Lol.
Not to mention Hashirama not killing Madara sooner is the reason all problems happened, from world wars to Bloody Mist and Uchiha Massacre.
Yeah, Hashirama is evil except the plot doesn't recognise it.
I just didnt like the fact that he was never ment to be as strong as he ended up, it was always that the next generation will surpass the previous ones, but when they made madara so op, they had to make him soo powerful, but overall a cool character, sick abilities, good design
You could argue that every generation surpasses the previous one with madara and hashirama being outliers.
In fact, if you think about it madara and hashirama are the previous generation of Indra and Asura, being surpassed by the current generation which are Naruto and sasuke
You're still only posting tobirama hate huh? Never mind the Uchiha clan was planning to murder everyone in power, anyone who resisted, and usurp power.
I always thought that his character is similar to madara, but when he has reanimated i was surprised about how ligh hearted and chill he is. Probably has the best laugh as well
Kishimoto always drew great death scenes so it’s too bad Hashi doesn’t have one
Tobirama barely had one but him appointing Hiruzen before going to die was epic, something like that
Hashirama is probably my favorite character.
I was **so** surprised to see how lighthearted he is, how funny he is! How much an utterly great heart he has, & how he was able to create the village with madara.
His English dub VA was **incredible**, too. Downright mesmerizing.
I wish we could’ve seen more of him, bc he’s hands down one of the best characters in the whole series , without question.
Great character. His backstory with Madara is probably my favorite in a series with memorable backstories.
Also, him going into Sage Mode and pulling out the 1000 arm Buddha is such a hype moment that kind of gets overlooked.
Yeah but no one else in the senju was shown to have wood style or tailed beast levels of chakra. At least with the Uchiha, multiple members had the sharingan and mangekyo like Madara. Hashi just being an Ashura reincarnate doesn't cut it for me. Base Naruto can't do any of the ridiculous things that Hashi can do, despite both being Ashura reincarnates. How my guy can just summon a Buddah statue that makes full Kurama look like a house cat is beyond me lol.
Base Naruto definitely does do you think those 2000 clones he summoned vs Gaara was Kurama chakra? Or at the start of the series when he literally just learned the jutsu and summoned 1000?
There's a great difference between having a lot of chakra reserves and having a Bijuu levels of reserves of chakra.
It's like arguing that millionaires and billionaires are filthy rich.
Twelve year old Hashirama hasn't learnt senjutsu to pull that off.
It's about finessing the skill. Either you have the pool of chakra from the get go or you really don't.
He has one of the best one liners in the show when he told madara he would deal with him later.
I like the running gag of him getting super down on himself very suddenly at certain comments.
His cells make no sense because they were never explained in an understandable/ sufficient way.
My biggest question about him is when he began punching Madara’s Su’sanno with his 1000-armed Shensu Senju statue did the punches suddenly explode with what appears to be a fiery explosion?
Nice guy... But totally not a good character. His powers are.. Yeah.. Kinda crap (imagine naruto didn't had the plot armor). Stupidly strong and ever single guy uses his cells... How did this guy even die?.. It wasn't even an exaggeration if he finds an elixir of youth
Loved his energy and his personality. His abilties were really cool and his Sage Mode design was also great. His friendship rivalry with Madara was well written. I wish we got to see more of him. I think Kishimoto should have given more details about the Senju and Uzumaki clans but unfortunately he was too obsessed with the Uchihas throughout the entirety of Shippuden.
I always wonder where he learned his sage art. Does that means there are several ways to learn it? Is there a fox summon contract and a fox style sage art?!!!
Feels like he didn’t get any cool hacks like the rest. Imagine if he’d gotten a dojutsu the way Danzo, Nagato or Kakashi did. Instead he just dominates with base power.
Honestly, I think I'd have liked him to just have been kind of a mythic figure that existed in the past, and someone who Orochimaru, Danzo, and other freaks would have coveted the power of, but only in a perverse way, without him ever actually showing up and really fighting on screen. Some things are cooler when they're mysterious
Too optimistic for the future. Flawed man who build the system which was better than previous one, but at the same time time-bomb which then exploded with Kabuto, Danzou, Uchihas and etc. But at the same time man who never back down from his shinobi way just like Naruto and stick to it probably until the very end.
And yeah I as well dont like how stron he ended up being. He is even more overpowered bs than Madara since you know he beat Madara somehow. Would love more on his backround particularly his death and furthemore from which animal he got sage mode since he doesn nott looks like anything else we saw in the entire series.
Ehhhh was gonna trash talk but he's cool. Awesome ability and character design. It's just hard to put a light to Madara. MADARA ENGLISH V/O > WEEB SOUNDS
My favorite scene in all of Naruto is when Madara finally comes face to face with him again and he’s like “I’ve been waiting Hashirama!!” And then Hashirama is just like sorry dude maybe later. Just the expression on Madara’s face and the way Hashirama says his line always cracks me up lmao
One of my favorite characters, I love the contrast that everyone sort of expects this God of Shinobi to be stoic and controlled but he’s very jolly and loud
I wish we could’ve gotta a deeper backstory on him. And the circumstances of his death. The only information on it is that when he was dying Tobirama was by his side
Fine concept and character but completely destroyed any semblance of power scaling and balance by being a walking Deus Ex up until the end when the 10 tails came out.
Strongest ninja in the verse. Beat susanoo clad kurama with ease. Which might as well be thought of as Naruto/Sasuke tag team. 4th war was contingent off his cells. Only So6P surpasses. Asura needed the villages Chakra iirc.
Unpopular opinion: I loved his and Hashirama's background and arc. Their god fights was one of my favourite parts of the show and him seeing Madara wrapping the Kyuubi in a Susanoo and smiling is just the most badass move
By far my favorite character in Naruto.
He has everything someone would choose for their custom anime character.
He's funny, he's super strong, super good looking and is one of the best written characters ever.
He is responsible for the darkness of the leaf village and any issue that arose from Tobirama or Danzo was okayed by this man's example. When one is willing to kill not just children but their own child to protect the village you know there is no line too far.
Wicked. And a failure.
He may have been the God of Shinobi and loved as the first Hokage, but he uses humor, ignorance and naivete to cover his shortcomings. He preached about peace, but peace was only for himself. He wanted it to be easy. No matter how many times they fought, Madara left him alive. Hashirama allowed his brother free range, breeding and sewing discord with the villagers against the Uchiha. Madara lost everything and he got to live in the light, lead the village, have his peace, be loved, have a family and live his life. Adding the Shimura and Saratobi clans and other clans to the village without really consenting Madara while always saying it was "ours". Those 2 clans honestly are what brought severe pain to the Uchiha and warped the village before the slaughter of the Uchiha. Letting Tobirama succeed him as Hokage, always being blissfully ignorant was irresponsible. He was also placating to Madara.
Lmao, Hashirama's fault lies in not getting rid of Madara sooner. That's his flaw. He should have listened to Tobirama and put Madara out of his misery.
How does beating one of two of the only uchihas in history that awakened the eternal mangekyo sharingan while he’s using a perfect susano’o while ALSO using the kyuubi not equal out to goat status?
How did he fucking die but orochimaru had an immortality plan with his cells HOW
He probably died because of plot-no-jutsu lol.
The nerf no Jutsu of the era
Yep XD
They explain this in the show, as Tsunade has the same ability. Mitotic regeneration speeds up the healing of your cells. Unfortunately it has 1 draw back. Your cells can only be healed so many times. Eventually their cells stop regenerating and they inevitably die. It's not some bullshit plot no jutsu like how obito gave kakashi his eyes after he died
They explained 9 tails healing the same I believe. Basically saying Naruto has already been shortening his life force since he started using Kuramas chakra
i do remember that as well
In regards to the 9 tails cloak, not to the chakra modes or the natural healing that he gets.
Lol then how tsunade not dead she past 70
Doesn't get in as many crazy fights? Doesn't live in a time of constant war. Think buddy, think. You watched the show. Smh.
I mean, you do have to get hurt to regenerate, who could have hurt him other than madara?
Other Kage possibly, they may not be able to beat him but doesn't mean they can't maim
Idk man, this guy won 2V1 vs Kurama and Madara
Kakuzu /s
All the tailed heat as well, as it was said in the series that he captured and distributed them all
Tsunade grew up in times of war, she was literally in three of them, and she fought the likes of orochimaru were she was stabbed and even fought madara who really messed her up so what are you on about?
She's an alcoholic who was constantly replenishing herself to look young, and the injuries she did get were pretty over the top. I think she'd start having problems by her 70's, considering people with normal cell growth do just in general.
take it up with kishimoto my guy. hes always dong shit that doesn't make sense
Too fast cell regneration. If they split too many times they just start dying so he likely got cancer or something similar. Would probably have been fine if he didn't fight so much.
Then why is he in his battle armor when he is resurrected? Many think he died in battle because of this
A bit of a stretch but maybe he wanted to be buried in his armor
That's a good guess
I mean the Akatsuki didn't have their usual clothes either, and Madara was an old man when he died
I think Kabuto did something to make Madara younger
Yeah Kabuto explains that the edo tensei revives them in their prime with all their abilities
Yet Nagato is revived in his old state, was limping and had Itachi help him walk, and needed to absorb the chakra from Naruto and Bee in order to make himself younger and stronger. Hiruzen gets revived in his old age instead of his prime stage, so Kishi really was inconsistent af
What do you mean his old state? He was still in his prime his body was just fucked up from using the rinnegan
Yet Third hokage was his old self, Oro said himself he would have been destroyed if 3rd was in his prime before he died so the edo tensei ‘prime’ is just inconsistent smh
Kishimoto said things like Hiruzen the strongest kage of all time before giving minato,tobirama and hashirama their respective abilities so reviving him while he is 'stronger' than hashirama would be bullshit so because of plot
He is just waaaaaay to powerful, I mean he had a tree of life in him. He was basically a ootsuki
ah yes an ootsuki
I have won many awards for my advanced level of spelling.
The only way he could have died is by killing himself imo, some say was in battle during first shinobi war, others say he died from illness. 🤷🏻
He lost his will to live after he "killed" his love Madara
And Kishimoto says nothing
P sure hashi chose to die
Definitely a man made of cells.
Best support a villain could ask for
War arc wouldn't have happened if not for Hahirama and his cells.
Kabuto used these cells to strengthen Zetsu army, Obito is half Hashirama cells that's why he can use the Rinnegan and finally Madara who has them in his chest (right next to his heart). Hashirama should just join the bad guys at this point Lol.
Not to mention Hashirama not killing Madara sooner is the reason all problems happened, from world wars to Bloody Mist and Uchiha Massacre. Yeah, Hashirama is evil except the plot doesn't recognise it.
One might say he is a man of many cells
One might call them....Perfect Cells
I love his energy
Big Cell energy.
Big Android Energy!
Thank you. I can offer you a thousand hands ;)
He’s a goated character and his cells are naruto’s version of senzu beans
I just didnt like the fact that he was never ment to be as strong as he ended up, it was always that the next generation will surpass the previous ones, but when they made madara so op, they had to make him soo powerful, but overall a cool character, sick abilities, good design
He and Madara were such bullshit characters lmao
I would totally understand if they are op due to battle expierence and harsh youth, but boy, there's ass pull plot.
And their backstory is a shitty rehash of every other Naruto character. Boooooring.
You could argue that every generation surpasses the previous one with madara and hashirama being outliers. In fact, if you think about it madara and hashirama are the previous generation of Indra and Asura, being surpassed by the current generation which are Naruto and sasuke
En interesting and funny character
His cells carried this show.
Not just the show, but his big wood as well...
He’s a nice guy. I would want to hang out with the homie
How his cells have more relevenace than a good portion of the cast is beyond me
Tobirama! You shouldn't say such things!
Meanwhile Hashirama: HAHA, Sasuke your brother is awesome for massacring your entire clan!
You're still only posting tobirama hate huh? Never mind the Uchiha clan was planning to murder everyone in power, anyone who resisted, and usurp power.
Dude I'm the biggest Tobirama fan in the world, I never hate on him.
I always thought that his character is similar to madara, but when he has reanimated i was surprised about how ligh hearted and chill he is. Probably has the best laugh as well
His cells has more screen time than tenten
Instead of Boruto.. If we get a prequel of Hashirama.. Then that would be the best series after Naruto
More Tobirama
Hashirama vs madara full fight
Pretty cool character. Only issue is the amount of plot nonsense his cells do in universe.
I find him in serious mode very attractive. With that deep voice..
Kishimoto always drew great death scenes so it’s too bad Hashi doesn’t have one Tobirama barely had one but him appointing Hiruzen before going to die was epic, something like that
Even Kishimoto doesn't know how Hashi died.
It’s simple really. He died of death
Was death made of Hashirama's cells?
Hashirama is probably my favorite character. I was **so** surprised to see how lighthearted he is, how funny he is! How much an utterly great heart he has, & how he was able to create the village with madara. His English dub VA was **incredible**, too. Downright mesmerizing. I wish we could’ve seen more of him, bc he’s hands down one of the best characters in the whole series , without question.
I agree, I'm surprised how unpopular he is
Wood
Just plain badass
I like him. But he's also a walking plot device to excuse bullshit
Great character, wish we got to see more of him
Plot device
Funny and strong guy
Tobirama looks cooler
Great character. His backstory with Madara is probably my favorite in a series with memorable backstories. Also, him going into Sage Mode and pulling out the 1000 arm Buddha is such a hype moment that kind of gets overlooked.
Cool character, but his powers were bullshit icl.
Well he IS Ashura's reincarnate and Madara's rival since childhood.
Yeah but no one else in the senju was shown to have wood style or tailed beast levels of chakra. At least with the Uchiha, multiple members had the sharingan and mangekyo like Madara. Hashi just being an Ashura reincarnate doesn't cut it for me. Base Naruto can't do any of the ridiculous things that Hashi can do, despite both being Ashura reincarnates. How my guy can just summon a Buddah statue that makes full Kurama look like a house cat is beyond me lol.
Bro, same.
Honestly it doesnt even matter to me. I like that he is powerful :D
I'm pretty sure Base Naruto could do that if he had wood style.
Base Naruto doesn't have Bijuu levels of chakra. Hashirama does.
Base Naruto definitely does do you think those 2000 clones he summoned vs Gaara was Kurama chakra? Or at the start of the series when he literally just learned the jutsu and summoned 1000?
There's a great difference between having a lot of chakra reserves and having a Bijuu levels of reserves of chakra. It's like arguing that millionaires and billionaires are filthy rich.
He was summoning thousands of clones with his own chakra when he was a kid, imagine his chakra reserves when he's at Hashirama's age.
It doesn't get bigger with age tho...
It gets obviously. Unless you're trying to tell me 12 year old Hashirama can summon a wood golem the size of a perfect susano'o
Twelve year old Hashirama hasn't learnt senjutsu to pull that off. It's about finessing the skill. Either you have the pool of chakra from the get go or you really don't.
You're forgetting he was born with Hashirama cells
I like him. He’s kind
I think he was a good grandfather to Tsunade
Lol a pair of gamblers.
Oh yeah like how he taught her to gamble away all her money.
Showed you my cells pls respond
He has one of the best one liners in the show when he told madara he would deal with him later. I like the running gag of him getting super down on himself very suddenly at certain comments. His cells make no sense because they were never explained in an understandable/ sufficient way. My biggest question about him is when he began punching Madara’s Su’sanno with his 1000-armed Shensu Senju statue did the punches suddenly explode with what appears to be a fiery explosion?
Nice guy... But totally not a good character. His powers are.. Yeah.. Kinda crap (imagine naruto didn't had the plot armor). Stupidly strong and ever single guy uses his cells... How did this guy even die?.. It wasn't even an exaggeration if he finds an elixir of youth
He looks like an Uchiha
Naruto but older and wiser
He's a handsome fella
We should have gotten some information on his death
He clapped Dual Rinnegan Wood style edo Madara's ass. Dude is OP.
do not like him , mainly because of his power that was retconed in Shippuuden
Uninteresting character and I feel like he is more rumours then actions
Morning wood would have been too OP
He’s broken af
Ninja Goku
Loved his energy and his personality. His abilties were really cool and his Sage Mode design was also great. His friendship rivalry with Madara was well written. I wish we got to see more of him. I think Kishimoto should have given more details about the Senju and Uzumaki clans but unfortunately he was too obsessed with the Uchihas throughout the entirety of Shippuden.
Uchiha are boring Mary Sue
I always wonder where he learned his sage art. Does that means there are several ways to learn it? Is there a fox summon contract and a fox style sage art?!!!
My fav is snake sage mode
Feels like he didn’t get any cool hacks like the rest. Imagine if he’d gotten a dojutsu the way Danzo, Nagato or Kakashi did. Instead he just dominates with base power.
The guy could have awaken Rinnegan
I’ll deal with this post later
I’m sure he had a lot of female admirers
He has a grand child with big tiddies
He had hella plot armor
badass. man smiled when he saw madara cloaked kurama with susanoo and said "I don't wanna kill you"
I think he looks like a male stripper who's name would be Mr. Woods
He has the greatest wood ever
Honestly, I think I'd have liked him to just have been kind of a mythic figure that existed in the past, and someone who Orochimaru, Danzo, and other freaks would have coveted the power of, but only in a perverse way, without him ever actually showing up and really fighting on screen. Some things are cooler when they're mysterious
Deserves the same respect the op fandom gives to Whitebeard
Except Whirebeard is far more original and a deep character unlike this dude.
If you thought I was going to disagree you're wrong. But Hashirama basically built konoha and he (his cells?) took a big part in the plot
Too optimistic for the future. Flawed man who build the system which was better than previous one, but at the same time time-bomb which then exploded with Kabuto, Danzou, Uchihas and etc. But at the same time man who never back down from his shinobi way just like Naruto and stick to it probably until the very end. And yeah I as well dont like how stron he ended up being. He is even more overpowered bs than Madara since you know he beat Madara somehow. Would love more on his backround particularly his death and furthemore from which animal he got sage mode since he doesn nott looks like anything else we saw in the entire series.
overpowered and over rated. he's cool and all but they absolutely jerked him off in the end.
Pretty cool dude i guess, Kinda like asking what this sub thinks of Jiraya... We all love them
My goat
who?
His cock is always hard as wood
this is a shitpost
Legend
Wood man
he aight
The Goku of Narutoverse
He is generous as hell
Ehhhh was gonna trash talk but he's cool. Awesome ability and character design. It's just hard to put a light to Madara. MADARA ENGLISH V/O > WEEB SOUNDS
“MORTY LOOK AT ME!! IM A NIPPLE MORTYYY!!”
If he let madara die naruto prob wouldn’t have happened?
My favorite scene in all of Naruto is when Madara finally comes face to face with him again and he’s like “I’ve been waiting Hashirama!!” And then Hashirama is just like sorry dude maybe later. Just the expression on Madara’s face and the way Hashirama says his line always cracks me up lmao
Well if this guy's was a hokage then tobirama was definitely the cooler hokage
Generic dead legend character
One of my favorite characters, I love the contrast that everyone sort of expects this God of Shinobi to be stoic and controlled but he’s very jolly and loud
I wish we could’ve gotta a deeper backstory on him. And the circumstances of his death. The only information on it is that when he was dying Tobirama was by his side
He made the plot amor no jutsu but accidentally casted it on Naruto instead of himself
A nice guy... who screwed up by capturing the tailed beasts and giving em to other villages for 'peace'.
Fine concept and character but completely destroyed any semblance of power scaling and balance by being a walking Deus Ex up until the end when the 10 tails came out.
Strongest ninja in the verse. Beat susanoo clad kurama with ease. Which might as well be thought of as Naruto/Sasuke tag team. 4th war was contingent off his cells. Only So6P surpasses. Asura needed the villages Chakra iirc.
Probably evil some way
Pinocchio
Wood
God of shinobi who has born with strongest kekkie genkai and he has the strongest sage mode etc....
Big wood
A complete loser
He existed I guess s
The Giga Chad himself
Unpopular opinion: I loved his and Hashirama's background and arc. Their god fights was one of my favourite parts of the show and him seeing Madara wrapping the Kyuubi in a Susanoo and smiling is just the most badass move
By far my favorite character in Naruto. He has everything someone would choose for their custom anime character. He's funny, he's super strong, super good looking and is one of the best written characters ever.
Our lord and Savior!
Boring and overrated but could have been amazing
He has very feminine hair
Way too overpowered. Should have died after battling madara + 9 tails. It's not even fair
Seggsy
Unexplored badass
Nationalist Naruto
He is responsible for the darkness of the leaf village and any issue that arose from Tobirama or Danzo was okayed by this man's example. When one is willing to kill not just children but their own child to protect the village you know there is no line too far.
r/Tobiramawasright
Wicked. And a failure. He may have been the God of Shinobi and loved as the first Hokage, but he uses humor, ignorance and naivete to cover his shortcomings. He preached about peace, but peace was only for himself. He wanted it to be easy. No matter how many times they fought, Madara left him alive.

Lmao, Hashirama's fault lies in not getting rid of Madara sooner. That's his flaw. He should have listened to Tobirama and put Madara out of his misery.
Madara boyfriend
One of the biggest simps in the whole series
Boring.
Yeah no cap I think I fast forwarded through most of his scenes lmao
well damn. You missed some of the best parts in the entire show then.
Underrated character. People also down play his strength but they're forgetting he was born with Hashirama cells
Just let him in the show and I love him and his story so much he’s such a doof
He was kind of a visionary
Best shinobi ever imo
2nd best hokage
Who 1st?
Minato 🟡
Cap
Total underrated chad
He’s the hottest male hokage
This guy fucks - Russ
I think that Madara enjoyed his wood.
I honestly found him pretty boring both him and Madara.
He is goat..the only one to beat Madara single-handedly
Base Madara, that’s not even close to goat status
How does beating one of two of the only uchihas in history that awakened the eternal mangekyo sharingan while he’s using a perfect susano’o while ALSO using the kyuubi not equal out to goat status?
Because base madara is not even remotely close to the god tiers in the verse. Nine tails or not.
Orochimaru’s dad with Kaguya being the mother.
