Hashirama's Artificial Body

Hashirama's "living clone" is a non-sentient clone of Hashirama Senju created by Tobi in order to harvest his unique abilities.

Appearance
It takes the form of a Hashirama, with eight hands suspended inside some stem like object with spike-like appendages, connected to the giant lotus that rests underneath the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Role
When Hashirama fought Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End, Madara was believed to have been killed. Tobi in his recalling of this event does not deny this defeat but insists the purpose of the battle was to collect some of Hashirama's DNA which he used to create the clone and further his plans.

After Kabuto Yakushi captures Yamato and studies Hashirama's DNA in Yamato's body to strengthen the White Zetsu Army, he suspends Yamato in the stem, facing the clone.
