* AuthorityInNameOnly: Officially, Hashirama became Head of the Senju Clan after his father's death.

* HistoryRepeats: Actually invoked and PlayedForLaughs -- his future wife Sakurajima developped an interest in him precisely because her idol Biei-Fuji married a war prisoner, just like Kakuzu was a political prisoner.
* MeaningfulAppearance: After realizing that yes, he's ''that'' Kakuzu who would have become an Akatsuki member, Kita makes a brief comment on the fact he's not a TattooedCrook in this timeline.

[[folder:Uchiha Tobirama]]
!!Uchiha Tobirama of the Toyotama lineage, formerly of the Senju Clan, former Head of the Senju Clan
* ArrangedMarriage: To his cousin Uzumaki Chika, though he had some input in arranging it.
* AffectionateNickname: "Bira-oji" to the Uchiha children when he's taken hostage to their compound, later "Bira-sensei" when he starts teaching in Konohagakure.
* AnimalMotifs: Cats. Tobirama is often described with feline mannerisms and qualities, and he can summon snow leopards.
* {{Asexuality}}: He wasn't particularly eager to marry and only accepted a wedding arrangement under the assumption it would be a temporary affair, and is more flustered than anything when sex and intimacy are referenced in his proximity.
* BadassTeacher: He's indisputably a badass and is the one responsible for most of new shinobi training.
* TheBeard: He entered into an [[ArrangedMarriage arranged]] [[CitizenshipMarriage marriage]] with an Uzumaki cousin who wanted the freedom to travel and was in love an Uchiha woman. He's aware and okay with it.
* BeastMaster: Has the Snow Leopard Summoning Contract, which he inherited from his mother.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Plays that role to Hashirama.
* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: He has a lot of knowledge of rocks and soil in relation to how water behaves in different situations.
* BrokenAce: Oh so much. He gets better with time and care from Kita and Madara.
* BrokenPedestal: An inversion. The Uchiha clan utterly dreaded him until he served as their hostage. It's kinda hard to irrationally fear someone who can sit through a toddler's tea party with a straight face.
* CharacterDevelopment: Deals with his prejudices and assumptions, slowly works through his traumas, thaws out and gets out of his brother's shadow as the story progresses.
* CombatMedic: Just as good at healing as he is at combat. He even delivered Kita's baby!
* CuteLittleFangs: Kita notes his molars are rather pointy and his canines frankly ridiculous. It's implied to be a combo of his Hatake genes and contract with the snow leopards.
* DeadpanSnarker: Just a bit, especially in his narration. Apparently it's a Hatake trait.
* DudeWhereIsMyRespect: Tobirama does not like the fact that Hashirama tends to ignore his contributions and help with managing the clan, or that he's volunteered for tasks without even asking him first.
* TheDutifulSon: Tobirama ''will'' help his father and brother lead the Senju, even if he would rather do anything else.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible to Hashirama's Foolish, Tobirama is much more realist and well-behaved.
* FriendToAllChildren: The Uchiha children quickly decided he was a fun guy to hang around, bestowing the AffectionateNickname "Bira-oji" upon him.
* HappilyAdopted: Since Tobirama was important enough for Kita to awaken her Mangekyou when his life was threatened, he's considered as a member of her close family and treated as such by the Uchiha. Later on, he becomes this in truth after Kita formally adopts him into the clan.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Kita and Madara really enjoy clothing him with high-quality materials.
* HeroicBSOD: Tobirama has an absolutely nasty one after he finds out the real circumstances of Hashirama's death.
* HouseHusband: He's completely cool about raising his children by himself, and shows interest about developping jutsu for domestic chores such as laundry.
* KissingCousins: His wife is also his first cousin by his father's sister.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Zigzagged. Tobirama was born a Senju and is proud of it, but his character, looks and skills are more in line with his maternal Hatake inheritance, which he's encouraged to explore.
* MakingASplash: Tobirama can lift a river from its bed and made several domestic jutsu.
* MeaningfulAppearance: The stern yet surprisingly sweet Tobirama is mentioned to have gray eyes.
* TheMedic: That's not his primary specialization yet he's skilled enough to midwife Kita in a pinch.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He just wanted to draw the fighting away from the clan compounds by assaulting the Uchiha allowed to leave, only to learn he was slaughtering civilians. It induces a two-days-long HeroicBSOD.
** Then again when he realizes he personally killed his friend Kita's civilian father in an ambush.
* PapaWolf: To his students. They will ''not'' be send to the front lines, no matter what their parents want.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Hashirama's Red.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** His mother was born Hatake Kikuno, making him half a Hatake and Hashirama's half-brother.
** Epilogue shows he's Kinokawa Yoshino's maternal grandfather, making him [[Fanfic/DreamingOfSunshine Shikako]] and Shikamaru's great-grandfather.
* ShellShockedVeteran: He repressed as much as possible the trauma of losing his younger brothers and the guilt of worsening the war, until he broke down and sobbed his eyes out in Kita's embrace.
* SupernaturalSensitivity: Tobirama is great sensor, with range covering several kilometres if not more.
* StockholmSyndrome: He spends several weeks as a hostage to the Uchihas and grow to deeply care for them. It makes him more invested into establishing peace between the clans, as he doesn't want to be forced into fighting people he can't dehumanize anymore.
* StrongFamilyResemblance:
** He inherited the Hatake looks from his mother to the point people need the Senju mon on his clothes to not misidentify his origins.
** It's assumed to have one with Kita's son Minami but actually it's a case of IdenticalStranger with some ''very'' distant relation thrown in.
* WildChild: Just a bit, since he was largely socialising with the snow leopards after his mother's death.
