Tobirama Senju

Tobirama Senju is a male anime and manga character who features in Naruto.

Biography

Tobirama Senju (Japanese: 千手扉間, Hepburn: Senju Tobirama) was a male human born in the Ninja World as the son of Butsuma Senju (千手仏間, Senju Butsuma) of the Senju Clan (千手一族, Senju Ichizoku). He lived during the Warring States Period (戦国時代, Sengoku Jidai) where he was the younger brother of Hashirama Senju. This violent period saw the young of the clan becoming ninjas and fighting on the battlefield where they came to fight their bitter rivals in the Uchiha Clan. After the deaths of their brothers: Kawarama and later Itama, Tobirama and his older brother, Hashirama, decided a new shinobi system would need to be implemented to end the cycle of child deaths — a system that would require an alliance between the warring clans. At some point in time, it became apparent that Hashirama got into the habit of disappearing into the forest for extended periods, and as such, Tobirama accepted his father's assignment to follow Hashirama and find out what he was doing. From tracking Hashirama, Tobirama discovered that he was meeting with a boy named Madara: a young Uchiha. After Tobirama reported this to their father, Butsuma pressured Hashirama to lead Madara into an ambush to be carried out by himself and Tobirama. Upon springing the trap, however, they were met by Madara's family — who had similar plans and while their fathers clashed — Tobirama fought Izuna Uchiha: Madara's younger brother. Hashirama and Madara were able to negotiate a temporary ceasefire, allowing all of them to walk away without bloodshed. In the years following their families would continue to clash, Hashirama against Madara and Tobirama against Izuna. On one occasion Tobirama eventually mortally wounded Izuna. Hashirama, by then the leader of the Senju, tried to use Izuna's fate to broker peace between their clans, but Madara — at Izuna's behest — refused. His refusal increasingly became the minority view, with individual Uchiha siding with the Senju in growing numbers. After Izuna succumbed to his injuries, Madara, wracked with grief, made one final stand against the Senju and was summarily defeated. Tobirama attempted to kill Madara to finally end the fighting, but Hashirama stopped him, knowing that would only renew hostilities between the Senju and Uchiha. Madara offered to surrender if Hashirama would kill himself or Tobirama. Hashirama agreed to take his own life, and as he made preparations he instructed Tobirama, despite his protests, not to seek retribution. Madara ultimately withdrew his request and agreed to peace.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Tobirama Senju was a tall, fair-skinned ninja who possessed striking crimson eyes and spiky, silver-coloured hair. His face was defined by three distinctive red markings—one positioned vertically on his chin and one stretching across each of his cheekbones. In combat, he wore a specialised forehead protector that featured an attached, metallic face-guard lining the sides of his jaw and framing his face. His standard battle attire consisted of dark blue clothing worn beneath dark blue shinobi armor, which was distinctly lined with a thick, white fur collar around the back of his neck and shoulders.

Tobirama was a stern man who spoke bluntly about most topics, never sugar-coating facts or the matter at hand. He had a pragmatic approach to life, believing that many of the world's problems could be solved through well-defined rules and laws.

Tobirama was a firm believer in the Will of Fire — a philosophy that held that all villagers of Konoha were part of a family. As Hokage, it was Tobirama's responsibility to protect that family, and any who threatened Konoha were subject to his rarely-seen but unbridled rage.

Though they only knew each other for a short time, Tobirama and Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, got along superbly. Their mutual respect for each other seemed founded on their similarities: both of them famously moving and thinking quickly on the battlefield.

Powers and abilities

Tobirama Senju possessed immense physical power and specialized ninjutsu prowess that earned him the legendary title of Second Hokage. He was an absolute master of Water Release nature transformation, demonstrating the rare ability to manipulate and materialize massive quantities of water out of thin air without a pre-existing source. During his confrontation on the rooftop, he effortlessly executed advanced, high-level water techniques, including a massive water wall to intercept incoming attacks and a destructive water dragon that could violently crash into his opponents. Furthermore, his zombie-like reincarnated physiology granted him an infinite pool of chakra and a self-regenerating body that seamlessly repaired any mortal damage inflicted upon him during battle.

Tobirama was renowned as one of the most powerful shinobi in history, earning praise from even his rivals.

Among the techniques known to him included:

• Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique (飛雷神互瞬回しの術­, Hiraishin Goshun Mawashi no Jutsu) :
