Path of Vitality (Shinobi World Supplement)

Path of Vitality

In the early days of organized shinobi, there lived a pair of unmatched shinobi clan leaders: Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. Madara left behind a group of powerful, warlike users of the sharingan. Hashirama on the other hand, his vitality unmatched but solely his, left behind the Hidden Village system, claiming numerous clans as his "family", including the Uchiha. Still, many sought Hashirama's unique abilities, including his near-bottomless well of chakra and the notorious Wood Style, and yet fewer succeeded.
