Tsunade

Tsunade's appearance

Tsunade is already over 50 years old, but it is easy to confuse her with a twenty-year-old girl. She has long, blonde hair tied into two ponytails. Her eyes have a pleasant, coffee tint. Lips painted with pink lipstick. The nails are painted with red polish. She is always dressed in blue breeches, a light gray tunic with a large opening at the chest, and a light green cloak with the kanji for "gamble" (賭, kake) on the back. On her feet she wears black sandals with a small heel. Chest girth - 106 centimeters.

Tsunade's character is very changeable. Can sometimes be short-tempered and impatient. And if her irritation is just a small beautiful flower, then in anger, the granny is really scary. But, despite all this, she is kind and sympathetic. After the death of people dear to her, she changed a lot and became more indifferent, cold. Tsunade is ready to sacrifice her life for the sake of loved ones. Independent, smart and does not forget about self-development. But Tsunade's main weaknesses are sake and, of course, gambling. For which she received the nickname "Legendary Loser". So any gambling establishment is waiting for her with open arms.

Hiruzen with his students.

Tsunade is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki . Since Hashirama was the First Hokage of the Hidden Leaf , Tsunade was called the "Princess" (姫, Hime in Japanese ). Hashirama was madly in love with Tsunade when she was very young because she was his first granddaughter and was the first to notice her deviance, finding her inherited gambling habit amusing; Tsunade also inherited his necklace after he died. After graduating from the Konoha Ninja Academy , Tsunade was teamed with Orochimaru and Jiraiya under Hiruzen Sarutobi.. When Jiraiya, during the first team bell test, failed completely, Tsunade teased the boy, prompting him to immediately criticize her breasts. Despite this remark, Jiraiya showed an interest in Tsunade from the first time they met, which only grew after her breasts developed; after she nearly killed him for spying on her while swimming, he was forced, for his own good, to be more discreet.

Tsunade gives Hashirama's necklace to Dan.

Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki , dreamed of becoming Hokage in order to protect the Hidden Leaf, their grandfather's legacy. On Nawaki's twelfth birthday, Tsunade kissed him on the forehead and gave him the Hashirama necklace he had wanted for a long time, in the hope that it would help him achieve his dream. The next day, he died on a mission as part of the Second Shinobi World War . The necklace returned to Tsunade. Tsunade began to advocate for the inclusion of medical ninja in all four-man squads in order to prevent future deaths, as happened with Nawaki. Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, agreed with her arguments, but was unable to allocate resources for the necessary implementation due to the ongoing war. Dan Cato, on the contrary, shared her views, and as soon as their relationship developed, he confessed to her his dream of becoming Hokage in order to achieve changes in the Leaf and protect his beloved for the rest of his life. Tsunade kissed him on the forehead and gave him the First's necklace in the hope that it would help him achieve his dreams. Although their team under Hiruzen was disbanded, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya continued to fight together during the Second Shinobi World War.

Hanzo proclaims the Sannin team.

In one of these battles, in the Village of Hidden Rain , the team was the only survivor in a fight with Hanzo , for which he personally was proclaimed the "Legendary Sannin " of Konoha. After this battle, Jiraiya made the decision not to return to the Konoha until he had trained the Rain Orphans to stand up for themselves. Tsunade continued to do her part in ending the war by repeatedly countering Chiyo's poisons from Hidden Sand Village . Despite the fact that Hidden Leaf was victorious due in large part to Tsunade, she was unable to prevent Dan's death, and her inability, at that moment, to stop the severe blood loss developed into a fear of blood.

With Dan's death, Hashirama's necklace passed to Tsunade again, which convinced some that the necklace would bring doom to anyone who wears it except Tsunade herself. Even Tsunade was convinced that anyone's dream was doomed to failure, and that being Hokage was a job for fools. She left Konoha some time later, taking Dan's niece Shizune with her to train her as a mentor. Due to her phobia of blood, Tsunade has distanced herself from any form of participation in healing and combat, relying instead on Shizune when necessary.

While in the neighborhoods of Tanzaku , Tsunade hits the jackpot on slot machines. Since she has never been lucky in gambling, she sees her winnings as a harbinger of something bad and decides to leave the town immediately, but Shizune insists on staying and visiting the local castle. Passing by the castle, they are stopped by Orochimaru in the company of Kabuto Yakushi ., introducing himself in a rather original way - destroying this very castle with a snake. Tsunade notices that her longtime friend's arms are injured, believing that he sought her out for a request for healing, and preemptively refuses. Kabuto explains that they have already taken all other steps and that only Tsunade can help. She wonders how his hands were damaged, and Orochimaru, matter-of-factly, replies that he killed Hiruzen Sarutobi. Tsunade becomes enraged and threatens Orochimaru with murder, but he was able to interest her with an offer to resurrect Nawaki and Dan Kato.

Tsunade then asks what Orochimaru is going to do after the hands are restored. Orochimaru states that he would like to finish what he started and destroy Konoha, which is what he tried to do when he first injured his hands. Shizune insists on killing Orochimaru and Kabuto, but they retreat, giving Tsunade a week to think. That evening, she meets with Jiraiya. Jiraiya sought her out in order to offer her the position of Fifth Hokage, to which she refused and, with her unflattering remarks about past Hokage, made a purely negative impression on Jiraiya's companion, Naruto Uzumaki . Realizing that Naruto was the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails , Tsunade brought up the subject of being the Fourth Hokagehe gave his life in vain to save Konoha from the Nine-Tails. She went through all the previous Hokage, claiming that they just wasted their lives on the village and ended by saying that only a fool would want to carry this title.

Tsunade came face to face with Naruto.

Naruto, who himself dreamed of becoming Hokage, got angry because of this opinion and tried to attack Tsunade right in the restaurant. Jiraiya grabbed him in time and began to restrain him, but Tsunade agreed to fight him. As a result, Tsunade got the better of Naruto with no problem, using just one finger to both defend and attack, but she became dismayed when she noticed Naruto's resemblance to Nawaki and Dan. Taking advantage of her distraction, Naruto decided to strike with his incomplete Rasengan., but Tsunade fought back with one finger. She then scolded Jiraiya for teaching Naruto the Rasengan, blurting out that it was cruel to teach a mediocrity like him to do something as complicated as the Rasengan. Naruto promises that he can complete his training in three days, and Tsunade decides to make a bet with him: if Naruto manages to master the Rasengan in a week, she will give him the First Hokage's necklace ; if he cannot, she will have his purse. Naruto accepts the terms.

Tsunade and Jiraiya soon met again for a drink. Jiraiya suggests that Orochimaruoffered her something in exchange for healing her hands. He does not ask for details, but promises that he will personally kill her if she endangers Konoha's security. Tsunade confidently says that she doesn't care about the village, and Jiraiya remembers how important Konoha was to Nawaki and Dan; to top it off, he remarks how similar they, especially the Nawaki, are to Naruto. Tsunade keeps an eye on how Naruto's training goes, but by the end of the week, he was still unable to master the Rasengan, and the intense training completely bedridden him. Shizune pleads with Tsunade not to accept Orochimaru's deal, but failing to succeed, tries to use force, forcing Tsunade to render her unconscious. Later, she again met with Jiraiya and also neutralized him by adding something to alcohol: as a result, waking up,chakra.

Tsunade wants to trick Orochimaru.

Tsunade meets with Orochimaru and agrees to heal his hands, but only on the condition that he leave Konoha alone. Orochimaru doesn't mind. Tsunade approaches him, ostensibly to start, but at the last moment, Kabuto notes that she intends to kill Orochimaru and stops her. Orochimaru asks why she deceived him, to which the "Princess" confidently states that Orochimaru was lying about sparing Konoha. Although she desperately wanted to see Nawaki and Dan again, she knew that they wouldn't want to go back like this, remembering Naruto. Orochimaru and Kabuto declare that they will force her to heal the former's arms, and she goes on the offensive. Once outside the city, Kabuto, who is also a medical ninja, tries to calm her down, but Tsunade heals any debilitating wounds he inflicts. Unable to stop her this way, Kabuto cut his hand and donated blood, paralyzing Tsunade, who was afraid of blood.

Naruto protects Tsunade.

Eventually Jiraiya, Shizune and Naruto came to the rescue. Shizune took care of Tsunade trembling at the sight of blood, Jiraiya engaged Orochimaru, and Naruto took on Kabuto. Kabuto quickly defeats Naruto, and Shizune makes an attempt to fight him herself. Kabuto approaches Tsunade, intending to capture her, unable to fight back due to her phobia. Naruto stops him and attacks with his incomplete Rasengan, but misses, and Kabuto starts ranting about how Naruto is mediocre, just like Tsunade was a week earlier. Naruto persists and, using a shadow clone to help, strikes Kabuto with a completed Rasengan. Kabuto was defeated, but in the end, he damaged Naruto's heart muscles. Tsunade began to heal him, fearing that he would die like Nawaki and Dan. But, in the end, she succeeded, Naruto regained consciousness and she recognized him as the winner of the bet.

Tsunade hits Orochimaru hard.

Orochimaru decides to personally kill Naruto with the Kusanagi sword . Tsunade becomes a barrier, protecting Naruto, the future Hokage of Konoha. The determination to protect Naruto eventually leads Tsunade to overcome her fear of blood and feel she is capable of fighting. She strikes at Orochimaru, activating Creation Revival and healing any damage received, as well as announcing that she is accepting the position of Fifth Hokage. She, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru summon Katsuya , Gamabunta , and Mandu .respectively. Manda proves too agile for Katsuya and Gamabunta, but Tsunade uses Gamabunta's sword and pins Manda to the ground with his muzzle. She then delivers a series of punches to Orochimaru's face, forcing him to flee; Finally, he warns that he has other ways to restore his hands.

After using too much chakra during the fight, Tsunade loses her youthful appearance, but she recovered before Naruto could recover. Hearing about everything that happened while he lay unconscious, Naruto worries that she is not as qualified for the position of Hokage, significantly inferior to Hiruzen. Tsunade challenges him to a fight again and again wins with one finger. But he kisses, thus expressing faith in achieving his dream, just as Navaki and Dana once did.

Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage.

Upon Tsunade's return to Konoha, the villagers began to officially prepare for her inauguration as Hokage. Before that could happen, she healed Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha , who had been hurt by the Tsukuyomi . In addition, Tsunade examined Rock Lee's damage ; she was the only one able to recover from such injuries, however, she admitted that there were 50/50 chances and it was likely that Lee would not survive, recommending that he give up the life of a shinobi. After reflecting on this, Lee openly tells her that being a ninja is his dream, from which she will not be able to fence him off. In the anime, Tsunade tried to improve his chances of survival by learning one of Kabuto's techniques., and as a result increased them to 58%. Ultimately, Lee underwent surgery.

With the assumption of the duties of Hokage, Tsunade took on a significant amount of work, especially due to the invasion of Orochimaru, who crippled the power of Konoha. For this reason, when Tsunade found out that Sasuke had decided to defect to Orochimaru, Shikamaru Nara - the only one who had been promoted to the rank of chūnin - was the only sufficiently qualified shinobi she could send to lead the Sasuke Rescue Team ; she allowed him to choose the genin for the mission at her own discretion, but she personally advised him to take Naruto. Shortly after the Rescue Team left, Tsunade was informed that the Konoha Special Mission Platoon had been defeated by the Sound Four.accompanying Sasuke. Realizing that the genin's strength is no longer enough, she seeks help from Sunagakure in order to prevent Orochimaru, their common enemy, from capturing Sasuke 's Sharingan after all. She soon learned that Lee, although still in rehab after surgery, had also gone to help.

Ultimately, despite the best efforts of the Rescue Team, Lee, and the Kindred Sand Trinity , they were unable to stop Sasuke from joining Orochimaru. Tsunade sent medical teams to take care of the members of the Rescue Team and bring them back. Tsunade was later approached by Sakura Haruno, wanting to learn medical ninjutsu . Feeling that Sakura wants to protect someone (Naruto and Sasuke), Tsunade agrees.

Jiraiya planned to take Naruto outside the village with him and start training. In the anime, while Jiraiya was busy with his investigations, Tsunade loaded Naruto with missions to distract him from going after Sasuke. So, during one of the missions related to the Legendary Stupid Brothers ' prison break, Tsunade intervened and convinced the criminals to surrender by displaying her genjutsu and demonstrating her strength.

In the anime, Tsunade learned that Potcha and Mondai were impersonating Rock Lee and Might Guy . Deciding to have fun, Tsunade pretends to believe them and issues a lot of difficult assignments. In the end, horrified by the burden, they ran away from the village.

Sakura progresses rapidly under Tsunade's guidance. In the anime, Ino Yamanaka also approached her with a request for training. Seeing that the girls are competing and intend to give all their best, Tsunade agrees. However, she taught Ino only medical ninjutsu, with no additional training as with Sakura, believing that it would be better for her to focus on her clan 's secret technique.

About two years after Naruto left to train with Jiraiya, Tsunade suggested that Suna 's Fifth Kazekage hold the Chūnin Exams under general supervision. Through the exam, Tsunade planned to showcase the alliance between the two villages and test the other villages' willingness to work together. And yet, in secret from everyone, I hoped to lure Akatsuki out with such an examwho were looking for jinchūriki like the Kazekage. The Kazekage agreed and they decided that the first stage would take place in Konoha, and the second stage would take Sun exclusively under his jurisdiction. To Tsunade's annoyance, all the leading villages refused to take part. Tsunade then sent Kakashi Hatake to deliver an exam invitation to Amegakure and investigate rumors that Ame's leader, Hanzō, had been overthrown. The ame accepted the invitation and Kakashi couldn't reveal anything, but they were both sure that something out of the ordinary was going on.

The first stage, taking place in Konoha, was uneventful. Shortly before the start of the second, taking place in Suna, Tsunade warned the Konoha representatives to be ready, as there was a possibility of an attack on the Kazekage. And, indeed, the head of the village was attacked and it was decided to prematurely end the exam. The decision to promote to chūnin had to be made by the rulers of other villages, based on how the genin performed during the exam. Tsunade was promoted to Team 8 , Team 10 , and Team Guy , while Neji Hyūga , for his key role in saving the Kazekage, was double promoted to become a jōnin.

Tsunade received word of Naruto's return to Konoha after two and a half years of training. She shared the news with Sakura and they went to meet him together. Tsunade reactivates Team 7 under Kakashi. She initially tried to send them on a low-ranking mission to spite Naruto, but received a report that the Fifth Kazekage Sunagakure had been kidnapped by Akatsuki. Tsunade then decided to send Team 7 to rescue the Kazekage, realizing that the Akatsuki also wanted to capture Naruto. She was not initially worried, but when she won the lottery, she took it as a bad sign and sent Team Guy to provide more help.

A few days later, word reached her that the Kazekage had been successfully rescued and Team 7 and Guy were heading back to the village. Shizune asked if it was logical to send Naruto to fight the Akatsuki, to which Tsunade replies that since Naruto and Gaara are both jinchūriki, Naruto was the best person for the mission.

After Team 7's return to Konoha, Sakura revealed that they had the opportunity to meet with Orochimaru's spy and thus find Sasuke. Kakashi was bedridden as a result of the mission to Suna because he had overworked himself, so the question of adding new members to the team arose. Shizune started bringing up the subject of Naruto again, thinking it would be safer to keep him in Konoha. Tsunade, on the other hand, insists that Naruto is one of the few people she can trust with the mission with absolute certainty, and besides, this is his own business and he will not sit on the sidelines.

Soon after, Tsunade was summoned by the Leaf Council , to whom Shizune had already expressed her concerns and who also agreed that Tsunade's behavior towards Naruto was irresponsible. Tsunade stands his ground and adds that the Akatsuki will come after Naruto one way or another, and sending him on missions will make their search more difficult. The Konoha Council calmed down after Tsunade promised to personally take responsibility if her decisions resulted in Naruto's capture or endangered Konoha. But, they insisted that one of Danzō Shimura 's subordinates , Sai , become the third member of Team 7. The temporary leader of the Tsunade team is made by an Anbu native codenamed " Yamato»; partly because he was her confidant and would keep an eye on Sai, but also because his wood element could help Naruto keep the Nine-Tails under control.

In fact, while Team 7 was able to meet Sasuke, they were unable to get him to Konoha. This didn't stop Naruto and the others, and they promised they would try again. Tsunade didn't protest.

In the anime, Tsunade sent Team 7 to investigate a case of grave looting near the Fire Temple . When they returned, they reported that the robbers , whoever they were, seemed to be interested in the graves of members of the Twelve Protector Ninja . Since Sai was damaged during the initial investigation, Sora was assigned to help them in the Firelink Temple. Tsunade received secret messages about Sora's past and his unusual power that poses a danger to the Firelink Temple. At the same time, Tsunade takes Danzō into custody on suspicion of collaborating with Amegakure. While she was busy interrogating Danzō, Konoha Leaf informed her that the double agent who reported the grave robbery might be Sora.

The advisers advise either to limit Sora in actions, or to eliminate it altogether. While Tsunade was making her decision, Sora attacked her, but Shizune and Naruto arrived. Grave robbers soon arrived in Konoha and erected a giant barrier around the village, into which the earth zombies were released. While most of Konoha's forces were deployed to protect the village, Tsunade sent Asuma Sarutobi to fetch Sora. Sora eventually went berserk, possessing the Nine-Tails' chakra, and Tsunade began to prepare for battle, but Naruto personally dealt with everything. Ultimately, all the "i's" were dotted, all ill-wishers were defeated, and Tsunade apologized to Sora, allowing him to leave the village in peace.

Tsunade finishes Kakuzu's autopsy.

Tsunade is getting more and more reports about Akatsuki's activities in other countries. She can't do anything until they start operating directly in the Fire Nation , but she begins to prepare. After receiving word that the Akatsuki had attacked the Firelink Shrine, Tsunade put the Twenty Platoons on alert and sent them out to find the Akatsuki members, ordering them to be captured if possible or killed otherwise. Although one of the squads was able to reach the Akatsuki members ( Hidan and Kakuzu ), they escaped capture and killed Asuma Sarutobi. His corpse was taken to Konoha and a funeral was held while the rest of the squads continued their search.

Asuma's students, Team 10, left Konoha, joining the search and seeking revenge. Tsunade tries to stop them and, among other things, explains that they need a fourth member. Kakashi volunteers to take part and Tsunade surrenders. She realizes that they will need reinforcements and begins looking for candidates. Tsunade turns to Sakura, asking him to tell Naruto that if he wants to go, he must first complete the training on his new technique. And Naruto is really mastering the technique and the Akatsuki members have been defeated. Tsunade performed an autopsy on Kakuzu's body, assessing the damage done by Naruto's new Rasenshuriken . While examining the damage to Kakuzu's cells, Tsunade comes to the conclusion that Naruto's Rasenshuriken is too dangerous and asks him not to use the technique again.

In the anime, Tsunade receives a report from a dying Anbu member about one of Orochimaru's bases. She puts Kakashi on Team 8 and sends them to investigate. Since there was a possibility of meeting Sasuke, Tsunade keeps the fact of the mission a secret from Naruto. But he finds out about everything anyway, and Tsunade allows him and the rest of Team 7 to join as a backup. The teams encounter the Three- Tails , and Tsunade decides to deal with him so that he does not fall into the hands of the enemy. She sends information on sealing and a squad that specializes in it, in addition to sending part of it to Katsuya. Orochimaru's people repeatedly interfered with the sealing process, and Tsunade sent more Anbu members to be sealed while the rest returned to Konoha. She soon lost contact with the Anbu and the Three-Tails disappeared. Tsunade suspected Akatsuki's interference.

Jiraiya came to Tsunade and informed her of the rumors that Orochimaru had been killed by Sasuke. They told about this to Naruto and Sakura, who believe that Sasuke will go against his brother, Itachi Uchiha of Akatsuki. Naruto suggests that they find Itachi so they can find Sasuke. Despite all previous attempts to capture the Akatsuki members failing, Tsunade approves the formation of an eight-man squad and sends them out to find Itachi.

Tsunade and Jiraiya talking

Soon, Jiraiya comes to her again with the news that he discovered the location of the Akatsuki leader, but only begins to dedicate all the details to her after they have had a drink together. Jiraiya shares information with her that there is an ongoing civil war going on in Amegakure, which is rumored to be the leader of Akatsuki. Since Amegakure is in a difficult political situation, Jiraiya states that he will first infiltrate the village alone and reconnoiter the situation there, and only after Konoha will he begin to act. Tsunade feels guilty for always putting dangerous work on him and reflects on the happy times when they were still friends with Orochimaru, and also offers his help. But Jiraiya refuses. Jiraiya prepares to leave and Tsunade asks him to return alive, fearing that he might die because of her.

Shizune senses that Tsunade is worried about Jiraiya and tries to calm her down, reassuring her that everything will be fine. Tsunade replies that he will not return, thus choosing a new tactic for herself: she bets on what she really does not want, wishing in this way, with an eye on her bad luck, that her bet did not work.

In the anime, Konoha receives a report that the Tsuchigumo clan has been attacked and, as a result, their forbidden technique has been compromised. Since the eight-man squad was closest to the scene, Tsunade sent Katsuya to intercept them and instruct them to protect Tsuchigumo.

Tsunade supports the Konoha shinobi during Pain's attack.

Fukasaku , Jiraiya's former teacher, reports to Tsunade that Jiraiya has died while investigating the Akatsuki leader, Pain . Tsunade called Naruto into her office and Fukasaku shared the news with him. Naruto became very upset and started blaming Tsunade for letting him leave. Sakura tried to stop Naruto, but Tsunade herself did not interfere. She continues to investigate Pain's identity using the information left by Jiraiya: she ordered Shizune to examine the body of the Animal Path ; she orders Ibiki Morino to interrogate the prisoners captured by Jiraiya; she tasks Shikamaru Nara with deciphering Jiraiya's posthumous message. When Shikamaru starts to object, Tsunade ignores him and, left alone, mourns Jiraiya.

Knowing that Pain would come for him, Naruto went to Mt. Myōboku to train with Fukasaku. The investigation into Pain's identity continued, but he attacked Konoha before the case was completed. Tsunade decided to send an order to Naruto to head back to the village, but was stopped by the Leaf Council, who felt that Naruto would be safer there. Tsunade got angry at the councilors and scolded them for not showing even the slightest bit of faith in Naruto's ability to protect himself. The councilors are offended by her manners, but still allow her to do what she wants. Afterwards, Tsunade climbs onto the roof of the Hokage's residence and summons Katsuya, asking her to split up and attach herself to every villager so that she can heal everyone at a distance.

After Katsuya has spread throughout the village, Tsunade begins to fully appreciate the damage caused by Pain's attacks. Learning through Katsuya of Kakashi's death, Tsunade destroyed the spire out of grief. She was eventually discovered by Pain's Deva Path . The Anbu detachment came to the defense of Tsunade, who, in the Deva Path, remembered an orphan who was once trained by Jiraiya. The Deva Path asked Tsunade about Naruto's whereabouts, however she refused to answer. The Deva Path then accused Konoha of doing things that other villages were in a sorry state of doing and of refusing to cooperate with Akatsuki. Tsunade remained adamant, but Pain was already able to find Naruto in other ways. Before leaving, the Deva Path stated that he would show Konoha the pain they had caused everyone else for so long.

A weakened Tsunade in her true form.

The Deva Path takes off high into the sky and Tsunade tries to follow it. He is about to destroy the entire village with the Shinra Tensei , however, Tsunade transfers all of her chakra to Katsuya to keep the villagers safe. As the dust settled, Tsunade discovered that the village was gone. She confronts all of the Six Paths of Pain and promises to deal with them personally. The Asura Path attacks her, but Naruto arrives in time and asks Tsunade to entrust the victory over the Pains to him. Having done everything that was in her power and completely wasted all the chakra, Tsunade fell into a coma.

Tsunade came out of her coma.

A lot of time passed, but Tsunade still came to her senses. Shizune immediately threw herself into her arms. After eating enough to replenish her chakra reserves, Tsunade learned about everything that happened while she was in a coma: Naruto defeated Pain, Akatsuki's Tobi announced the Fourth Shinobi World War , the Allied Shinobi Forces were formed . Kakashi discusses with her all the problems that have piled up and thanks her for coming to her senses and now he will not be appointed Hokage. After finishing the meal, she convenes a council of war, where she brings up the topic of Konoha's strategy in the coming war and all the necessary preparations.

A few days later, Tsunade traveled to Kumogakure to meet with the rest of the Alliance's leaders and discuss topics of wider concern. On the agenda was the question of what should be done with Naruto and Killer Bee , for the sake of capturing whom Toby unleashed a war. The other Alliance leaders had already made the decision to isolate them, and only Tsunade objected, believing they would be invaluable on the battlefield. The Fifth Kazekage, however, retorted, reminding him that Naruto has a tendency to act recklessly for his friends who risk themselves for him. Realizing that no one would listen to her opinion, Tsunade had no choice and she reluctantly agreed that Naruto and B should be sent to Turtle Island.. In the anime, after meeting with the leaders of the Alliance, she asked B to teach Naruto how to control the Nine-Tails in light of recent events, which was approved by the Raikage . When it came to other matters, Tsunade took a particular interest in equipping the rear medical company with everything needed.

In the anime, Team 7 is sent by Tsunade to investigate a massacre in the village of Tonika . When Team 7 informs her about Kabuto Yakushi's use of Summon: Impure World Resurrection here , Tsunade sent all of her reserve forces to them.

In the anime, Tsunade sent Sakura to Benisu Island to collect medicinal herbs that could be used for military purposes. She later prevents Konohamaru Sarutobi from joining the Shinobi Alliance.

Most of the Alliance leaders went to the battlefield when the fighting began, but Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage remained at headquarters to deal with tactics, coordinate troop movements and receive new information. On the first night of the battle, they received a report that Naruto and B had managed to escape from Turtle Island. The Raikage takes Tsunade with him, intent on stopping the jinchūriki; before leaving, Tsunade left a part of Katsuya at headquarters so that if something happened, she could contact her.

As soon as they found Naruto and B, the Raikage stopped them and began to convince them to go back to Turtle Island. Naruto begged Tsunade to let them through, but she explained that she must do what was in the best interests of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Naruto continues to persist and encourages the Raikage to make the decision to kill him so he doesn't fall into Akatsuki's hands. Tsunade does not allow this and comes to the youth's defense, noticing that the new Nine-Tails Chakra Modeindicates his unparalleled control over the Nine-Tails, which may not be able to be replicated by any of the next Nine-Tails jinchūriki. Tsunade thinks the best way out is to let Naruto use his new power and win the war. The Raikage doesn't agree with Tsunade, much less B and Naruto's words, and seemed to be ready to fight them, but when Naruto managed to slip past him, he didn't pursue him.

When Tsunade and the Raikage returned to headquarters, they were informed that the White Zetsu Army was made from the DNA of Hashirama Senju. Tsunade is annoyed that her grandfather's powers continue to be used and that Tobi could still use them, but trusts that Naruto will be able to eradicate the Zetsu that had infiltrated the Allied Forces.

Naruto, using his shadow clones, was indeed able to help defeat the White Zetsu by detecting those who disguised themselves as Alliance shinobi, which was beyond the power of a normal ninja, and, moreover, assisted in capturing the remaining resurrected enemy forces. The turning point was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the resurrected Madara Uchiha on the battlefield of the Fourth Division . Upon learning of this, Tsunade expressed a desire to join the battle: Mabui transferred her to the place where the battle with Madara took place using the Sky Movement Technique , in parallel with which the Fifth used Divine Regenerationin order to restore your body from the damage that such a movement technique carries. The Raikage joined her and they arrived in time to save the Fifth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage from Madara's attack. Tsunade began to heal her colleagues, and then, upon the arrival of the Fifth Mizukage , all five Kage came face-to-face with Madara. Confident in their victory, they told one of Naruto's shadow clones to leave Madara on them and go on his own to defeat Tobi.

Tsunade attacks Madara.

At first, Tsunade played a supporting role, healing the other Kage from taking damage and, as needed, replenishing her own chakra reserves. She was extremely surprised when Madara manifested her grandfather's Wood Release abilities, but it turned out that he implanted the face of a Hashirama clone into his body and gained access to all of his abilities . Madara realized that Tsunade was Hashirama's ancestor and decided to kill her first, mocking her for being so much weaker than her grandfather. She admitted that she did not inherit Hashirama's natural gift, but she does have the Will of Fire , which prompted her to create the Ninja Art Divine Regeneration - Hundred Strength Technique.. Activating the technique, she joined the rest of the Kage in attacking the enemy. Madara was unimpressed by this, but Tsunade was still able to strike at his body, giving the Kazekage a chance to try and seal the ill-wisher.

Kage against the tree clones of Madara.

Madara eludes capture and stabs Tsunade with Susanoo 's sword . Madara believed that she was dead, but Tsunade got rid of the sword and went against him again, admitting that she may indeed have inherited something from Hashirama. Madara admits that the Kage managed to give him a beating, but states that it only happened because he was in a five-on-one position; wanting to act "honestly", he created twenty-five tree clones, five for each Kage. The tree clones started using Susanoo and clashed with the Kage. Despite Madara's numerical advantage, the Kage were able to combine their forces against the original, defeating him even through his completed Susanoo form. Before he could destroy the Kage, the Impure Resurrection technique was dispelled and Madara's soul began to return to the Pure World.

Tsunade saw Dan again.

Madara uses his remaining time intent on finishing off the Kage. Tsunade takes his attacks on herself, relying on her Divine Regeneration, but she runs out of chakra. Unexpectedly, she was saved by the Spirit Transformation TechniqueDana Kato, whose soul was also freed from the Unholy Resurrection. Tsunade used this opportunity to apologize for turning away from his dream after his death, but now she has changed and supports his ideals by becoming Hokage. Dan thanked her for this, but said that he would do him a great favor if he remained alive, as she is in his dreams. Dan kissed her on the forehead, and then disappeared, transferring his chakra into her. While walking, Tsunade rejuvenated, her self-sacrifice did nothing - Madara got out of control of the one who used Impure Resurrection, and thus remained.

Tsunade summoned Katsuya despite her dire condition.

Now that he is free and free to do whatever he wants, Madara decided that the Kage was already out of his interests and announced his intention to go after Naruto. The Kage tried to stop him, wanting to fulfill their promise to the youth, but Madara defeated everyone and left him lying to his death. Tsunade, despite being split in half, was able to summon Katsuya. She asked Katsuya to bring the rest of the Kage closer to her in an attempt to save them alive. She was later found by Orochimaru, Suigetsu Hozuki and Karin .. Tsunade used almost all of her chakra for the other Kage and now she didn't even have the strength to speak. Assuring Katsuya that he came in peace, Orochimaru ordered Karin to replenish Tsunade's chakra and Suigetsu to help Katsuya connect Tsunade's lower body to the top. Tsunade reluctantly thanked Orochimaru after being restored and noticed a change in him, a change that could have saved Jiraiya had it happened sooner. Orochimaru retreats while Tsunade stays behind to complete the Kage's healing.

Tsunade and Sakura work together.

After all the Kage came to their senses, the Kazekage moved everyone to the site of the Allied Forces' battle; along the way, Katsuyu briefed them on what had happened while they were out of their minds. Approaching the battlefield, they, like the rest of the shinobi, were addressed by the resurrected Hashirama Senju. After greeting Tsunade, Hashirama explained the purpose of the God Tree : to lead to the Infinite Tsukuyomi . Out of fear, most of the ninja began to thrash about chaotically in fear, but after the arrival of the five Kage, they calmed down and joined forces. Tsunade located Sakura and teamed up with her, summoning a large portion of Katsuya spread all over the perimeter, thus they could continuously restore everyone in battle.

Although they were unable to get rid of the God Tree, the Union forces helped Naruto defeat Tobi, whose real name was Obito Uchiha . Naruto leaves to fight Madara, leaving the Allied Forces to fight another Zetsu . Tsunade lacks the chakra needed to participate in the battle, much less continue to perform medical ninjutsu. Therefore, when the Kazekage brought Naruto to them in need of urgent care, Tsunade sent Sakura to help.

Tsunade is trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Despite the Allied Forces' best efforts, they were unable to stop Madara from activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which took the entire world into a dream. Inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Tsunade dreamed that she was in Konoha, where Dan is the Hokage, Nawaki and Jiraiya are alive, and Orochimaru did not leave the village. In the anime, while waiting for Dan, she read a novel written by Jiraiya called Jiraiya's Ninja Scrolls: Tale of the Hero Naruto. In the novel, there were far fewer upheavals in Konoha: the Fourth Hokage and his wife survived the attack of the Nine-Tails, and the destruction of the Uchiha clan did not happen. Naruto and Sasuke eventually dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi, freeing Tsunade and the others, thus ending the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Like the other students of the Third Hokage , Tsunade is an exceptionally talented shinobi. Even before the Second Shinobi World War . On the forehead there is a symbol in the form of a diamond - Byakugo no Jutsu.

Tsunade has excellent control over her chakra, a necessary prerequisite for her role as a medical ninja . After the Second Shinobi World War, she began storing her chakra in the Byakugō . With the seal released, Tsunade can access all of her accumulated chakra, which increases her original chakra reserves by a hundred times. While she typically uses this extra chakra to heal injuries or perform other techniques, Tsunade is able to transfer chakra to others to replenish and enhance their own chakra.

Tsunade and Katsuya heal their wounds.

Tsunade can summon pieces of Katsuya , slugs. In addition to being able to fight side by side with Katsuya, Katsuya is also capable of splitting and dispersing over long distances and protecting Tsunade's allies. By bonding with Katsuya, Tsunade can monitor what is happening around the slugs and heal others from a distance, as well as replenish his own chakra reserves.

Tsunade include lightning , fire , water and earth , as well as the elements of Yin and Yang . The story does not show how she uses nature transformations, although her Body Movement Disorder technique involves the use of lightning: by placing her chakra in someone, she gives it electrical properties, creating an electric field. As a result, the one on whom the technique was applied loses coordination of movements: instead of moving with his hand, he will make movements with his foot, and so on.

Among other things, in the anime, Tsunade is shown using some space-time ninjutsu , fuuinjutsu , and barrier ninjutsu.

Despite being in her fifties, Tsunade's Transformation Technique makes her look like she's still in her early twenties. She easily changes her appearance if necessary to avoid paying gambling debts. Tsunade's unique transformation appears to be permanent, as she can maintain this form without any side effects, even when injured or while sleeping. The only disadvantage of the transformation is only that in the event of a lack of chakra, Tsunade temporarily returns to his natural form.

Tsunade is able to regenerate almost any damage, even from the Kusanagi Blade or the Susanoo sword. She also made Naruto's heart beat again, even though he was about to die.

During Pain's attack, Tsunade was able to keep almost all of Konoha's ninja alive, nearly exhausting herself, but within a week she was back on her feet.
