Hashirama Senju

Kekkei Genkai: Wood Release Clan: Senju Clan Occupation: Cofounder of Konohagakure Leader of the Senju Clan Hokage Hashirama Senju was a member of the famed Senju clan. He himself was hailed as the God of Shinobi for his unmatched ninja prowess. Hashirama sought peace for the shinobi world and to that end founded Konohagakure with his clan. In his early years after they and their clans had been fighting constantly he had his clan allied with Uchiha Madara and the two of them with their clans founded Konoha. Later on Madara left the villige over the policies of the village and his clan. This conflict resulted in battle with Uchiha Madara and the ninetailed fox at the Valley of the End. To commemorate the battle two statues of Madara and Hashirama were carved into the earth around the waterfall. It is for this reason that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchihas fight at that location was noted to be ironic. However the war still waged on and unsure of the title of Hokage he would not only appoint his brother as his successor as the Second Hokage Nidaime Hokage but in a common decision with his brother they also decided that one of their students Sarutobi should become the Third Hokage Sandaime Hokage which in turn seemed like a wise decision as both brothers would eventually die during the wars. He was most famous for his unique Wood Release techniques a kekkei genkai that is a mixture of earth and waternatured chakra that creates this new element. By converting chakra into the source of life he was able to create trees causing them to grow to great sizes and manipulate them to diverse shapes and battle uses at will. In an instant he could shape the entire battlefield for his own uses. Source: Narutopedia
