Guess we know where Tsunade gets her gambling money from now. Despite how powerful the Legendary Sannin were together, they had trouble getting along and often butted heads over matters of strategy and use of power. But because of her time spent as a Legendary Sannin, she knows how to play well with others when she needs too. She views her purpose in life as one who needs to take care of Tsunade, being a good friend and a sound voice of reason.
However, Shimura would die in battle at the Samurai Bridge before being officially appointed the position. Retirement went out the window for Tsunade as Kakashi Hatake was appointed as the official sixth Hokage. She would stick around for his first year, helping with administrative duties and various other tasks.
Without her help he might not have remained Hokage long. During her own stint as Hokage, Tsunade was grooming Naruto, knowing he would be Hokage one day. While it might be more theory and fan fiction than fact, Tsunade and Naruto being related is too good to pass up on. The theory is that this unnamed character is a daughter of Hashirama who is also unnamed in the story. The complexity of it all is probably why Kishimoto avoided using it, but the evidence is strong that Tsunade could be related to Naruto as his great aunt.
Japanese literature influenced Kishimoto and Naruto in a variety of ways. Most notably with the Legendary Sannin. Jiraiya Goketsu Monogatari , or The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya , was first published in as 43 illustrated novels completed by four different authors.
In this Japanese folktale, Tsunade and Jiraiya are thrown down a cliff and left to die. But a hermit named Senso Dojin finds them and cares for them. Training them to take revenge Tsunade is trained in slug magic sound familiar? While you might think Kishimoto stole the ideas from this crazy story, the folktale itself has been adapted dozens of times over since its creation in a variety of different forms from manga to video games.
While other characters such as Naruto might be able to trace their lineage back to the Senju Clan, Tsunade is the last direct descendent. For the Naruto story as a whole, this is actually a good thing.
The Senju and Uchiha Clans were enemies for generations, with many forgetting why they even hated each other. With Madara finally resting somewhere in the afterlife and Sasuke working with Naruto, the rivalry between the two clans seems to be at an end. Those who were born or married into the clan are known for being powerful individuals who excel in leadership and technical skills.
In Japan, there is a cultural phenomenon going on where classes are being offered to empower woman by teaching them how to walk in heels.
Yeah, she fought battles essentially in sandal heels. Japanese Geta wooden sandals have a inch raised height on them and are typically worn with traditional clothing. The ones Jiraiya wore added almost 3 inches to his height. Sandals are the preferred foot wear due to the cultural custom of having to remove shoes when entering homes and even businesses. Ever wonder what happened to Tsunade after the wedding of Naruto and Hinata?
Being a loner and an outlier, Tsunade never had any intentions of becoming Hokage. Despite her powers, exceptional leadership skills, and her Senju blood, she was content doing her own thing. Perhaps she ended up doing it to honor Dan and her brother as both had dreamed of becoming the Hokage one day.
Each member of Team 7 in Naruto was trained by a one of the Legendary Sannin. Team 7 has basically become the new generation Sannin. All three members of Team 7 are alive and well in Boruto , helping shape the lives of their kids while maintaining the peace they fought so hard to get. Tsunade played her part in this by training and teaching Sakura.
Tsunade had major and minor roles throughout the Naruto series. Her influence on the story arc and other characters is undeniably strong, having her live up to her title as a Legendary Sannin. Most Naruto characters have a favorite food item, like ramen is for Naruto. Now this can be taken one of two ways. User reviews Be the first to review. Details Edit.

They draw her away from the city and Kabuto, a medic-nin , tries neutralising her, but she heals all the debilitating damage he does. Unable to stop her through conventional means, Kabuto slits his own wrists and coats her with his blood, paralysing her due to her phobia.
Jiraiya, Shizune, and Naruto eventually arrive to help. Shizune looks after Tsunade as she shudders from the blood while Jiraiya fights Orochimaru and Naruto fights Kabuto. Naruto is quickly defeated by Kabuto, as is Shizune when she tries to face him afterwards. Kabuto approaches Tsunade and tries to restrain her, which she is unable to fend off in her condition. Naruto stops him and attacks with an incomplete Rasengan, but misses, causing Kabuto to start commenting on his lack of talent, just as Tsunade did the week before.
Naruto persists and, after making a shadow clone to help him, he is able to strike Kabuto with a perfected Rasengan. Kabuto is defeated, but as his last act he severs Naruto's heart muscles. Tsunade tries healing him, fearing that he'll die just like Nawaki and Dan did. She succeeds, and in a brief moment of regained consciousnesses Naruto claims the necklace he's won.
Orochimaru decides to kill Naruto and attacks with his Sword of Kusanagi. Tsunade uses her body to block the attack, her way of protecting Naruto, Konoha's future Hokage. Orochimaru keeps trying to attack him, which Tsunade keeps using her body to block.
Her resolve to protect Naruto eventually overcomes her fear of blood, allowing her to go on the offensive: she kicks Orochimaru, activates Creation Rebirth to heal all the damage she's received, and declares her acceptance of the position of Fifth Hokage. When Manda proves too elusive for Katsuyu and Gamabunta, Tsunade uses Gamabunta's sword to pin Manda to the ground with his mouth shut.
She then delivers a sequence of punches to Orochimaru's face, forcing him to escape with Kabuto; before he leaves, he warns that he has other ways of fixing his arms. Having used so much chakra during the fight, Tsunade's younger transformation fades after the battle, but it is restored before Naruto wakes up.
When he hears about what happened while he was unconscious, Naruto expresses his concern that she isn't qualified to be Fifth Hokage, being vastly inferior to Hiruzen. Tsunade challenges him to a fight and once again outmatches him using a single finger. Rather than defeat him, however, she kisses his forehead to symbolise her faith in his achieving his dreams, just as she once did for Nawaki and Dan.
Main article: Sasuke Recovery Mission. When they get back to Konoha, the villagers start making preparations to officially place Tsunade into office. She also looks at the damage to Rock Lee 's spine; although she's the only one who can fix it, she confesses that there's a fifty percent chance he wouldn't survive the procedure and recommends he give up on life as a ninja.
After thinking it over, Lee tells her plainly that being a ninja is his dream, which she cannot argue with. Lee ultimately survives the procedure. Being Hokage comes with a heavy workload, especially in the aftermath of Orochimaru's Konoha Crush , which left the village understaffed. Having already suspected that a team of genin wouldn't be enough, she requests Sunagakure 's support so that Orochimaru, a mutual enemy of both villages, can't gain Sasuke's Sharingan.
She is also informed that Lee, despite still recovering from his surgery, has also gone off to lend support. Tsunade is later approached by Sakura Haruno , who asks to be taught medical ninjutsu. Sensing that Sakura has something she wants to protect Naruto and Sasuke , Tsunade agrees. Main article: Mizuki Tracking Mission Jiraiya makes plans to take Naruto away from the village to train him.
In the anime, Naruto must remain in Konoha while Jiraiya is off investigating and it is up to Tsunade to keep him preoccupied with other missions so that he won't go after Sasuke by himself.
When, during one of these missions, the Legendary Stupid Brothers escape from prison, Tsunade convinces them to surrender with a quick display of genjutsu and her strength. Deciding to have fun with the two, Tsunade pretends to believe their disguises and has them do many arduous tasks for her. The workload horrifies the two and eventually drives them away from the village. In the anime, Ino Yamanaka also asks to train with Tsunade. From seeing the rivalry that exists between Sakura and Ino and how that competition drives them each to do better, Tsunade agrees.
Publicly, the exam will demonstrate the alliance that now exists between their two villages. The Kazekage agrees and the two villages split responsibilities for the exams. The first stage of the exams is completed in Konoha without incident. Before the examinees and proctors relocate to Suna for the second stage, Tsunade warns the Konoha personnel to be alert to attacks on the Kazekage.
Main article: Kazekage Rescue Mission Tsunade is informed of Naruto's return to Konoha after two-and-a-half years of training. She shares this news with Sakura and together they welcome him back. Tsunade has Naruto and Sakura reform Team 7 under Kakashi's leadership. While trying to find a mission to send Team 7 on that Naruto won't complain about, Tsunade receives a report that Suna's Fifth Kazekage has been kidnapped by Akatsuki. Tsunade decides to send Team 7 to lend assistance in the Kazekage's rescue in full awareness that Akatsuki wants to capture Naruto too.
She isn't initially concerned, but when she suddenly wins the lottery she takes this as a bad sign and sends Team Guy to provide additional support. A few days later they receive news that the Kazekage was successfully rescued and that Teams 7 and Guy will be returning to Konoha. Main article: Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission When she gets back to Konoha, Sakura shares intel she's received of an opportunity to meet with a spy in Orochimaru's ranks, what may serve as an opportunity to find Sasuke Uchiha.
Kakashi is left bedridden after the mission in Suna, requiring that new members be assigned to Team 7 to go meet the spy. Shizune once again questions Naruto's inclusion on the team, believing it would be safer to keep him in Konoha. Tsunade insists that Naruto is one of the few people she can trust with the mission with absolute certainty, and that besides it's a personal matter for him and he wouldn't allow himself to be excluded.
Tsunade is shortly afterwards summoned before the Konoha Council , with whom Shizune has shared her concerns and who also believe that Tsunade is deploying Naruto irresponsibly. Tsunade repeats her earlier reasoning, adding that Akatsuki will inevitably come for Naruto, and that if he keeps getting sent out on missions it will make it more difficult for Akatsuki to locate him. Tsunade also assigns an Anbu , codenamed " Yamato ", to lead Team 7, partly so that he can keep an eye on Sai, but also because his wood release will help Naruto keep the Nine-Tails under control.
Although the new Team 7 does indeed meet Sasuke, they fail in bringing him back to Konoha. Naruto and the others are not deterred, however, and vow to try again, which Tsunade approves. When they return, they report that the robbers , whoever they are, have a seeming interest in the graves of members of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
Because Sai was injured during the investigation, the Fire Temple allows Sora to fill in for him; Tsunade receives a confidential message that Sora's past and unusual powers pose a risk to the Fire Temple.
The councillors recommend that Sora be either confined or eliminated. While Tsunade tries to decide what to do, Sora attacks her, but he is driven off by the arrival of Shizune and Naruto. The grave robbers soon afterwards arrive in Konoha, erecting a giant barrier around the village while earthen zombies attack. Sora eventually starts rampaging through the village with the Nine-Tails' chakra he has, and Tsunade prepares to confront him, but Naruto ends up dealing with it.
Once the grave robbers are all defeated, Tsunade pardons Sora for his actions and allows him to leave Konoha. Main article: Akatsuki Suppression Mission. Tsunade receives increasing reports of Akatsuki activity in other countries. She can't do anything until they enter the Land of Fire , but nevertheless starts making preparations. Once she receives news of Akatsuki's attack on the Fire Temple , Tsunade mobilises Twenty Platoons to find the Akatsuki members, capture them if possible, and, if capture is impossible, to eliminate them.
Although one of the Twenty Platoons is able to find the Akatsuki members Hidan and Kakuzu , both elude capture and Asuma Sarutobi is killed. A funeral is held in Konoha while the remaining Twenty Platoons continue the search. Asuma's students on Team 10 leave Konoha to join the search and avenge him, which Tsunade tries to stop, citing among other reasons that they need a fourth member.
Kakashi volunteers to accompany them, and Tsunade is forced to relent. Tsunade is aware that they'll need backup and starts looking for candidates; she has Sakura tell Naruto that, if he would like to go, he'll first need to complete the new jutsu he's been working on.
He does indeed complete it and the Akatsuki members are ultimately defeated. Tsunade afterwards performs an autopsy on Kakuzu's body, examining the damage that Naruto's new Rasenshuriken did to it. From the cellular damage Kakuzu received, Tsunade concludes that the Rasenshuriken is as dangerous to Naruto as it is to his opponents and should therefore not be used again. She puts Kakashi in charge of Team 8 and sends them to investigate.
Because the mission has the chance of meeting Sasuke, Tsunade tries to keep Naruto from finding out about it. He finds out anyway, so Tsunade allows him and the rest of Team 7 to provide backup. Their teams later report encountering the Three-Tails , which Tsunade decides must be dealt with to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. She sends them instructions for a seal to place on the Three-Tails, some Konoha personnel to help perform the seal, as well as part of Katsuyu to provide additional assistance.
Orochimaru's forces repeatedly interfere with the sealing, so Tsunade has some Anbu take over the sealing while the others return to Konoha. She later loses contact with the Anbu and the Three-Tails disappears, leading Tsunade to suspect Akatsuki's involvement. They share these rumours with Naruto and Sakura, who suspect that Sasuke is making moves against his brother, Itachi Uchiha of Akatsuki. Naruto proposes that they try to locate Itachi so that they can, in turn, find Sasuke.
Despite how unsuccessful previous attempts to capture Akatsuki members have been, Tsunade approves the formation of a combined Eight Man Squad to find Itachi. Jiraiya visits Tsunade later with news that he's discovered the location of Akatsuki's leader, though he refuses to go into more detail until she meets him for drinks.
Because Amegakure is in a delicate political situation, Jiraiya must infiltrate the village by himself to confirm before Konoha can take direct action. Tsunade feels guilty for always relying on him to do dangerous work like this and reflects on happier times, before Orochimaru's apparent death and when he was still their friend.
As Jiraiya prepares to leave, Tsunade instructs him to be sure to come back alive, fearing what his death might do to her. Later, Shizune senses that Tsunade is worried about Jiraiya and tries to reassure her that he'll be fine. Tsunade replies he won't be back, which is a new tactic she's trying: she's betting on the one thing she doesn't want to have happen, relying on her bad luck to prevent her bet from coming true.
Main article: Six-Tails Unleashed In the anime, Konoha receives reports of an attack on the Tsuchigumo clan and, as a consequence, their forbidden technique is at risk. Because the returning Eight Man Squad is closest to the Tsuchigumo clan's location, Tsunade sends Katsuyu to intercept them and give them their assignment to protect the Tsuchigumo. Main article: Pain's Assault Fukasaku , a former teacher of Jiraiya, reports to Tsunade that Jiraiya died while investigating the Akatsuki leader, Pain.
Tsunade summons Naruto to her office so that Fukasaku can also tell him the news, who they expect will have greater difficulty. Naruto is indeed upset and blames Tsunade for his death, saying she should not have let him go. Sakura tries to stop him from storming out, but Tsunade lets him go. Tsunade makes investigating Pain's identity using the information Jiraiya gathered top priority: she has Shizune examine the Animal Path 's body; she has Ibiki Morino interrogate the prisoner Jiraiya captured; she has Shikamaru Nara decipher the coded message Jiraiya left behind.
When Shikamaru tries objecting to the assignment, Tsunade ignores him, leaves, and, once she's alone, she cries for Jiraiya. The investigations into Pain's identity continue, but none are not completed prior to Pain's assault on Konoha.
Tsunade sends orders for Naruto to be recalled to Konoha, but she's stopped by the Konoha Council, who feel that Naruto is safest where he is.
Tsunade becomes angry with both councillors and berates them for lacking even the barest faith in Naruto's ability to save himself. The councillors are affronted by how she handles them and leave, but tell her to do what she wants. Tsunade heads to the roof of the Hokage Residence and summons Katsuyu, who she instructs to divide and attach to all of Konoha's villagers so that Tsunade can heal them remotely.
As Katsuyu's divisions spread throughout the village, Tsunade starts to fully appreciate the extent of the damage that Pain's attack is doing. When she senses, through Katsuyu, that Kakashi has died, she destroys a nearby spire out of frustration. Pain's Deva Path eventually finds her. As her Anbu-bodyguards move in to protect her, Tsunade recognises the Deva Path as an orphan that Jiraiya once trained.
The Deva Path asks Tsunade where Naruto is, which she refuses to reveal. The Deva Path blames Konoha's past actions for the contemporary dire state of the world and Tsunade's refusal to cooperate with Akatsuki for the attack on the village. Tsunade is unmoved, but Pain is able to able to find out where Naruto is through other means. Before leaving, the Deva Path states it will show Konoha the pain that the rest of the world has known for too long. The Deva Path leaps into the air and Tsunade tries to follow.
As it destroys Konoha with Shinra Tensei , Tsunade transfers all of her chakra to Katsuyu to use in keeping the villagers safe. When the dust clears, Tsunade finds the village gone. She confronts the Six Paths of Pain and vows to personally defeat them. The Asura Path attacks her, which Naruto, newly returned, destroys in order to save her.
Having done all that she can and with her chakra gone, Tsunade's youthful transformation fades and she falls into a coma. After Tsunade regains consciousness many days later, she is immediately embraced by Shizune. As she eats to replenish her chakra reserves, Tsunade is told of all that's happened while she's been unconscious: Naruto's victory over Pain; Tobi of Akatsuki's declaration of a Fourth Shinobi World War ; the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Kakashi discusses these matters with her, and also thanks her for waking up in time so that he would not need to make her replacement as Hokage. Once she's done eating, she convenes a war council to discuss Konoha's strategies for the coming war and any preparations that will need to be made. A few days later, Tsunade travels to Kumogakure to meet with the other heads of the Alliance and discuss topics of broader importance. Chief among these is what to do with Naruto and Killer B , whose capture Tobi started the war for.
The Alliance's other leaders have already decided to send them into seclusion, which Tsunade strongly disagrees with, believing they would be invaluable on the battlefield. The Fifth Kazekage quickly disagrees, reminding her that Naruto has the tendency to be reckless for his friends, which in turn would place him too much at risk. Knowing she was overruled, Tsunade reluctantly agrees and Naruto and B are sent to the Island Turtle. In the anime, after the meeting with the other heads of the Alliance she requested that B teach Naruto to achieve control over the Nine-Tails in the event that they would have to be deployed, which A approved.
As they move on to other matters, Tsunade takes particular interest in equipping the Logistical Support and Medical Division with enough supplies. Main article: Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation Most of the Alliance's leaders head to the battlefield when the war begins, but Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage remain at the Allied headquarters to discuss tactics, coordinate troop movements, and process new intel.
On the first night of fighting, they receive reports that Naruto and B have escaped the Island Turtle. The Raikage takes Tsunade with him to head them off; she leaves behind one of Katsuyu's divisions in case she needs to be contacted about anything. Once they locate Naruto and B, the Raikage blocks their progress and tries to convince them to return to the Island Turtle. Naruto implores Tsunade to let them pass, but she explains that she must do what is in the best interest of the entire Allied Shinobi Forces.
Naruto's continuing obstinance prompts the Raikage to decide to kill him so that Akatsuki can't capture him. The best course, she argues, is to let Naruto use his new power to try and win the war.
