Known as the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju is arguably one of the strongest characters to exist in the entirety of the Naruto series. As the incarnation of Asura, Hashirama Senju was naturally a man of many feats, though behind his reverence was his rare kekkei genkai, Wood Release. With this power, he was able to single-handedly forge peace during the Warring States period and lay the foundation for the Hidden Leaf Village.
