Hashirama Senju

The, also known by his real name Hashirama Senju, was the founder of Konoha, the older brother of the Second, and the grandfather of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha and Nawaki.

Backround
Hashimara was originally the leader of the Senju clan of the Forest the senju clan was more like modern day mob than a true clan beacuse they had no kekai genki they had to rely on other sources of man power like recruiting soldiers, ex soldiers, mercenaries which became ex and orphans, common people, misfits reformed ex cons, monks, woman from different clans who wanted to fight but could not it was forbidden for them to fight and not because woman were not allowed to back than and they did not just want to take care of the kids and be breeders senju clan was actually the first ninja clan to allow woman to fight and guys who came ethnically from differently from different continents in the naruto world others this is one biggest reason why the senju became so feared. At some point in the First's life he fought Kakuzu but the nature of this fight is unknown at this point. In his early years, after fighting him constantly, he allied with Madara Uchiha, and the two of them, with their clans, founded Konoha. Later on, he came to disagree with Madara over the policies of the village. This conflict resulted in the battle with, and defeat of, Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End.

To commemorate the battle, two statues, of Madara and the First Hokage, were carved into the earth around the waterfall. It is for this reason that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's fight at that location was noted to be ironic.

However the war still waged on, and unsure of the title of Hokage he would not only appoint his brother, but in a common decision with his brother they also decided that one of their students Saratobi should become the Third Hokage, which in turn seemed like a wise decision as both brothers would eventually die during the wars.

Personality
He saw the people of Konoha as a part of his own family, and his legacy takes a firm root in the village.

Abilities
Hashirama Senju was famous for his jutsu, an ability to mix earth and water manipulated chakra to create the new element: wood. By converting chakra into life force, he was able to create actual trees. This ability also granted him power to control Bijū, bending them to his own will.

Part I
It is later revealed that Orochimaru had implanted Hashimara's DNA into sixty test subjects in an attempt to gain access to his Mokuton techniques and ability to control bijuu, producing Tenzou (later given the code name Yamato). However, he lost track of the test subjects and didn't realize that one had survived.

He is later revived from the dead by Orochimaru using Impure World Resurrection to fight the Third Hokage during the invasion of Konoha arc. During this time he demonstrates his great Wood Release abilities and the same shows great Taijutsu skills. His soul is eventually sealed into the stomach of the Death God by the Third Hokage, along with his brother and Orochimaru's arms.
