Tobirama Senju was the second of Butsuma Senju’s four sons and Hashirama’s younger brother. They grew up during the Warring States Era, losing both their other brothers to endless conflicts in their youth, and eventually decided to put an end to the cycle of violence by creating the village system we know today. As a rule, Tobirama was the voice of pragmatism — if not cynicism — to temper Hashirama’s idealism. He did most of the legwork to make Konoha a lasting, functional system instead of an abstract vision followed only because of Hashirama’s personal power and charisma: Hashirama was a visionary, but Tobirama had the administrative, political and strategic skills to make his vision a reality. Crucially, Tobirama is the one who convinced Hashirama to hold elections for the post of First Hokage instead of arbitrarily designating Madara, for fear of the Uchiha’s clan instability and tyranny. If not for this, it’s almost certain that Konoha would have collapsed within a generation, if not overnight. This led to Madara going crazy again and trying to destroy Konoha, because he was an immature manchild, but it’s still the better alternative. Tobirama worked as his brother’s assistant when he became first hokage, working to create and put in place many systems for the new found village. As the second in command of the Senju clan, he also oversees clan affairs, making him quite busy and stressed. Aside from his political acumen, Tobirama was also an incredibly skilled and brilliant shinobi. He invented a number of key techniques including the Shadow Clone Technique, the Edo Tensei and the Flying Thunder God; he was also wise enough to realize the risks of those techniques (notably the Edo Tensei) and outlaw them once the village system had made them less important. He trained Hiruzen, as well as both Elders. Tobirama is harsh, strict, and commanding. He believes in suppressing emotions to avoid conflict. Time and time again, Tobirama proves that he’s not afraid to share his thoughts on a matter, or take command of a precarious situation. He constantly throws around insults and unwanted opinions. He expresses his concerns about the Uchiha every time the subject comes up. He outright tells Hashiramathat it is a bad idea to make Madara the next Hokage, and that who should be Hokage next is not Hashirama’s choice alone. Tobirama remains calm and cool-headed in most situations, until the need act presents itself. In those moments, his tends to lashe out in a fury to silence anything standing in his way. Tobirama values order and rules. He makes sure the new village has an orderly, democratic system. He also institutes a military police force and assigns the role to the Uchiha. Everything he does in regards to the village, he does with maintaining order and security in mind. Tobirama learns from the past, and upholds those lessons. Having been raised in a war ridden time where one of the major enemies was the Uchiha, Tobirama sees the dark path their Sharingan can lead them down. He sees the effect that loss and pain have on them, and the power it gives them. He then determines the Uchiha to be possessed by evil, and he’s unable to let go of that belief. Therefore, based on his experience, Tobirama determines the Uchiha to be cursed, dangerous, and untrustworthy, and he cannot look past this belief. Tobirama’s intelligence is demonstrated in his invention of techniques and jutsu. Tobirama is known for all of the jutsu he invented, including the Reanimation Jutsu, the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, and others. Many of the techniques he creates are considered forbidden. He either never sees the potential for some of these to be dangerous, or just doesn’t care enough to restrain. Regardless, he is infamous for all his inventions. Tobirama has a strong value system which he stands up for. He establishes order to ward off conflict. He stands up for his beliefs, fights for democracy and fairness. However, due to his inferior , he tends to lack empathy, compassion and any kind of sensitivity, but tries to show these traits with those he loves. He also does some morally questionable things throughout his lifetime. Tobirama was a fair-skinned man with silver, somewhat spiky hair and dark-coloured red eyes. He had three red markings on his face, one under each of his eyes and one on his chin. In combat, he wore blue armour with a distinctive white fur collar over a simple black suit. This armour was constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body. Beneath his shoulder armour he wore two extra shoulder guards on each arm. This clothing was accompanied by sandals and a happuri in place of the more traditional forehead protector. The happuri was initially engraved with the Senju's emblem, which was later replaced with Konoha's. He’s relatively muscular and spends almost all of his time training, standing at 6’0, and is around 30 years old during this time.
