Hey dude! I know I'm LONG overdue, but I can give you a quick review now. I don't have too much to say, you've managed to make him pretty strong in terms of conventional power; but you've also fulfilled the most fundamental trade off that comes with extreme power by killing Garia off. I like that you kept the Eight Gates as it was meant to be kept: a technique of massive power which inevitably will be exhaust the user's life. I love that so much, because so many people try to find rubbish ways to outwit the Eight Gates, achieving its great power by using bs to keep their characters kicking.

I think it's the overall flow of his storyline made sense in general, him wanting to fight Madara out of vengeance and what not. Him being blinded by hatred and going at Konoha to attempt getting back at Madara all made sense, and I think you did Hashirama justice as well with your characterisation of him. I can say the same for your portrayal of Madara in your story as well. The way Garia interacts with these two characters adds a lot of visual depth to your story, and makes it more liveable and fathomable. I only felt that Garia manifesting the Wood Release from Hashi was a little too convenient, as a huge attempt is usually poured scientifically to manifest the Wood Release KG, or unless you're born with it. You zeroed in on a single concept of vengeance and executed it well from start to finish, and that's great. Of course I had an overwhelming sense of deja vu from Madara vs Guy throughout the entire final background arc, but I won't nitpick on that, I think it would be over critical of me to analyse that too thoroughly.

Just a little pointer tho:

You forgot to include the abilities section, and instead wrote all his powers under appearance.

Overall nice work, keep making characters man. Would like to see you around here more.
