Naruto Series: Tobirama Senju (ESTJ)

Te:

“Forthcoming shinobi really need to suppress their emotions, create suitable rules that they then follow and maintain, and avoid any extraneous conflict.”
“Be quiet, elder brother! I’m trying to speak to the stripling.”
“You’re too soft, elder brother!”
“If their self-destruction benefited the village, then so be it. Either way, in the end, they were of use to the leaf village.”

Tobirama is a very clear ESTJ. The first quote I listed above is enough all by itself to prove his type, as it demonstrates Te-Si and inferior Fi all within one sentence. However, while the temptation to post the quote and walk away was very strong, I decided to go ahead and elaborate for everyone’s benefit.

Tobirama is harsh, strict, and commanding. He believes in suppressing emotions to avoid conflict. Time and time again, Tobirama proves that he’s not afraid to share his thoughts on a matter, or take command of a precarious situation. He constantly throws around insults and unwanted opinions. He expresses his concerns about the Uchiha every time the subject comes up. He outright tells Hashirama that it is a bad idea to make Madara the next Hokage, and that who should be Hokage next is not Hashirama’s choice alone. Tobirama remains calm and cool-headed in most situations, until the need act presents itself. In those moments, his Te lashes out in a fury to silence anything standing in his way. Even as a child, Tobirama comes to Hashirama’s defense, fearlessly standing between him and their very angry father.

Si:

“The Uchiha are a clan possessed by evil.”
“You know what happens when we defy father.”
“Keep saying that stuff and you’ll end up dead.  Both you and the adults are way too hotheaded.”

Tobirama values order and rules. He makes sure the new village has an orderly, democratic system. He also institutes a military police force and assigns the role to the Uchiha. Everything he does in regards to the village, he does with maintaining order and security in mind. Tobirama learns from the past, and upholds those lessons. Having been raised in a war ridden time where one of the major enemies was the Uchiha, Tobirama sees the dark path their Sharingan can lead them down. He sees the effect that loss and pain have on them, and the power it gives them. He then determines the Uchiha to be possessed by evil, and he’s unable to let go of that belief.  Therefore, based on his experience, Tobirama determines the Uchiha to be cursed, dangerous, and untrustworthy, and he cannot look past this belief.

Ne:

Tobirama’s Ne is demonstrated in his invention of techniques and jutsu. Tobirama is known for all of the jutsu he invented, including the Reanimation Jutsu, the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, and others. Many of the techniques he creates are considered forbidden. He either never sees the potential for some of these to be dangerous, or just doesn’t care enough to restrain his Ne. Regardless, he is infamous for all his inventions, and this is where his Ne shines forth clearly.

Fi:

Tobirama has a strong value system which he stands up for. He establishes order to ward off conflict. He stands up for his beliefs, fights for democracy and fairness. However, due to his inferior Fi, he tends to lack empathy, compassion and any kind of sensitivity. He also does some morally questionable things throughout his lifetime.
