I need completely unhinged Hashirama.
I once read a fic where Tobirama dies, and Hashirama completely loses himself. He hunts down every single person responsible for the death of his last remaining sibling and wipes them out. I need exactly that but even more.
I want Hashirama to finish everything Tobirama never could. No mercy. No compromises. No Will of Fire. Just grief turned into something monstrous. And then he commits the ultimate taboo by bring Tobirama back with Edo Tensei.
Only Tobirama doesn't come back unchanged. He was already ruthless in life, but death burns away whatever restraint he had left. Hashirama, meanwhile, has become something almost unrecognizable. The kind man who dreamed of peace died alongside his brother. All that's left is the strongest shinobi in history with nothing left to lose.
Together, they're catastrophic.
Hashirama no longer needs someone to tell him where the line is, because he has decided there isn't one. Tobirama no longer cares whether crossing that line is justified. Between them, there is no voice urging restraint, no one willing to compromise, no one interested in forgiveness.
They don't fight to protect the world anymore.
They force the world to submit.
Entire clans disappear overnight. Villages that shelter their enemies become forests of splintered wood and silence. Every rebellion is crushed before it can become a war. Every betrayal is answered so completely that no one else dares to repeat it.
The Five Great Nations slowly realize the horrifying truth peace still exists but only because everyone is too terrified to challenge the Senju brothers.
And the worst part? Hashirama isn't being manipulated. He isn't possessed. He's making these choices willingly. Because the one person who always reminded him why mercy mattered is the very person he couldn't save.
Tobirama had spent most of his life stopping Hashirama from becoming a tyrant without either of them fully realizing it. He was the skepticism to Hashirama's idealism, the caution to his boundless compassion, the man willing to make impossible decisions so Hashirama never had to.
Without Tobirama, there is no one left to temper Hashirama's power. Without Hashirama's hope, there is nothing left to soften Tobirama's ruthlessness. They become two halves of the same nightmare. The world keeps waiting for one of them to pull the other back. It never happens. Instead, they drag each other even deeper.
By the time anyone understands that Tobirama had been the thing holding Hashirama back that he had been the only person capable of keeping Hashirama human it's already too late.
Because there is nothing more terrifying than Hashirama Senju with no moral compass. Except Hashirama Senju with Tobirama standing beside him, looking at the devastation they've caused and deciding it still isn't enough.
