Naruto Founders HP Houses
I'm still stuck in a Warring Era headspace. I don't generally agree with how the sorting in Harry Potter works, especially when there is so much overlap with a lot of the traits. This is also assuming that the main four brothers have to be divided into the four houses. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so!
Senju Tobirama: I would easily put him into Ravenclaw. While he fits with most if not all of the traits assigned, I'd sort him simply due to his intelligence and creativity. While I could name the countless jutsus and such that he made, I think that his skills towards actually designing Konoha and it's civil structure are often overlooked.
Uchiha Izuna: I think he could debatably go between Slytherin and Hufflepuff but I'm going to put him in Slytherin because his stubbornness outweighs his loyalty to his brother... He's a genius in his own right and there's no denying that but I think a lot of his skill comes from repetition and practice over the basics is what kept him so on par with Tobirama who probably had a new technique every time they fought. If that's not ambitiousness, along with his desire to keep his family safe, I don't know what is.
Senju Hashirama: If I'm honest, I feel like he could go either way for the remaining houses but I'm going to put Hashirama as Gryffindor actually. I think the relationship he has with Tobi pulls at the trope where one sibling underthinks while the other overthinks. He's known as the GOD of Shinobi, right? I think that a certain level of brashness is required to acquire such a title. I'd also argue that Gryffindor's, that Hashirama, doesn't think in a world of black and white but almost absolute grey. (That, in my opinion, is why so many Gryf's in HP are so freakin different at their core.)
Uchiha Madara: This one is a little ironic, almost, but I do think that he's a Hufflepuff. It may be a slight bias on my part because I'm a Puff but I think that they're often misrepresented. I think that a big part of Madara's problems was that his sense of loyalty was literally split between his Izuna, his family, and Hashirama. Disregarding Zetsu and his ability to manipulate others and their debatable will, I think that people all too easily say that Madara is bad because he left the village/went rogue. I just bring this up because going back to loyalty, patience and trustworthiness- Madara's choice was taken out of his hands on multiple accounts. Tobi, when he was the one who got one over on Izuna, when his clan said that they wanted peace with the Senju over the arguable continuation of the war and also when he wasn't voted as the Shodai?
I could go into further detail and again, I don't think that HP sortings are as black and white, nor as simple as it's often depicted to be. Another big thing is at what age they should be considered at sorting. If we're talking straight up eleven years old, I would genuinely put the Uchiha brothers and Hashirama all in Hufflepuff just because they'd be more naive in a lot of ways. Tobirama is and always will be, in my mind, a Ravenclaw and honestly one of the best examples of one. There's so many ways things could have gone differently if any one of them did something different. The ripple effects, as well as the following sortings, of a single change would be drastic to say the least.
Other mentions!
Uzumaki Mito: There's not nearly enough known about the Uzumaki in general and what we know about Mito seems like even less than the clan at large, somehow? Either way, I'd say that Mito, at least, is a Ravenclaw... I have so many questions as to what Uzumaki fuinjutsu was actually like between the years of Konoha's founding and when Uzu fell. Still, I think that her Strength of a Hundred seal or whatever, was pretty big even in her time. I think that secondary would probably be Gryffindor based off of vibes and the fact that she left her country to literally join a village that'd been founded by two clans that hated each other since the seeming dawn of time. Pretty crazy.
Senju Touka: This girl is Slytherin through and through. To my knowledge, there's not another kunoichi mentioned during that era for the Senju nor the Uchiha, actually. That being said, I think it's pretty insane that, at least by most fanfics and theory, she took one look at an Uchiha stereotype and said give me a sword and I'll put them in a genjutsu to see how they like it.
Uchiha Hikaku: I feel like a lot of Uchiha's in general..? Could probably be sorted into either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff? I think it's a bit hard to say for sure and I can't really explain it. For sorting sake, I would say Gryffindor because with a lot of stories I've read, the relationship between him, Izuna and Madara is funny.
Uchiha Kagami: Absolute Hufflepuff. If I have one type of trope i like for this time period, it's when baby Uchiha has no sense of self preservation and has to get saved by Tobirama over and over for whatever reasons. Kid takes one look at him and imprints.
For Senju Kawarama and Itama: Kawarama died first, right? It's hard to say for either of them because, I swear, they're only even mentioned in a few episodes at all. I kind of like the idea of Kawa being a Slytherin with Itama prolly being a Puff. Idk.
