Who Kill Hashirama Novels & Stories

You're steeped in 'Demon Slayer' - so of course you know what the Hashira mean. But these are men who do not hold back when it comes to playable characters - so prepare yourself for real impact. They are the four main corps flakes with sabres of killing demons carried out by the guild itself.

Man, this one’s been bugging me for ages, because it feels like the show deliberately left it vague. We never see Hashirama die on screen, and the canon material just says he died at some point after the village was founded. The whole 'who killed him' thing seems to be more of a fan theory that got out of hand.

Most likely, he just died in battle. The First Great Ninja War was during his era, and as the strongest shinobi alive, he’d be on the front lines. A coordinated attack by a ton of enemy ninja could do it, or maybe even a lingering injury from his fight with Madara finally caught up with him. I lean towards it being a 'death in war' situation rather than a specific assassination. Makes his sacrifice for the village hit harder, honestly.

That said, I've seen some wild threads about Tobirama secretly offing him to take over, but that's pure fanfic territory with zero evidence.

Hashirama Senju wasn't assassinated by anyone in a straightforward way, which is something that gets misunderstood a lot. The Naruto lore shows he died at some point after the founding of Konoha, but his actual death is handled off-screen. There's no big manga panel or anime episode showing a final battle. Some theories floated around forever, like maybe Madara came back and finished him, or it was some political betrayal, but those are all fan speculation without real backing from Kishimoto's work.

Honestly, I think the ambiguity is intentional. His death isn't the point; his legacy is. He establishes the village system, makes peace (however fragile), and then passes on. His death being from natural causes, or maybe from wounds accumulated over a lifetime of fighting, fits the 'Will of Fire' theme better than some dramatic murder. Having him be killed by a villain would have shifted the entire emotional weight of his character from being a foundational, almost mythical figure to just another casualty in the conflict cycle.

If you're looking for a direct killer, you won't find one. The databooks and supplementary materials just state he died during the First Shinobi World War, which implies he fell in battle, but the specifics are left open. It's a bit like wondering how exactly the First Hokage's era ended—we know the result, but the exact moment isn't dramatized. That lack of a clear villain for his death actually makes the world feel bigger, like history has gaps we don't get to see.
