Naruto to Sasuke:

Dan to Tsunade:

[sannin-three]

[valiant-typhoon]

The more I think about it the more interesting the Tsunade retrieval arc is. It's basically unquestioned by anyone that she'll be able to heal Orochimaru's arms. As far as I know literally not a single character doubts that she can. His arms. Which had the soul sucked out of them and sealed by the reaper.

The forbidden jutsu that uses a literal death god. The one the fourth used to partially seal the nine-tailed fox.

What part of healing would deal with that. Why can Tsunade do that. Why do they know that she can. Tsunade herself never questions that she can. Why can Tsunade apparently just undo the reaper death seal, or at least undo the damage caused by it. That's insane.

The implications.

Why does no one question or follow up on this.

I just wanted to bring back this panel...

Do you see Dan holding Tsunade's face gently and saying, 'For you yourself are my dream'? He isn't explicitly saying 'I love you,' but it's clear that he does. Telling your love interest that she is your dream is incredibly romantic—it's about as romantic as it gets. I believe Kishimoto is fully aware of that.

And it reminded of another panel...

'You were my goal' isn't exactly the same thing and the same context. However, when you consider the rest of the exchange, Naruto is essentially saying that Sasuke is more important to him than his dream of becoming Hokage.

He wouldn't abandon Sasuke for his dream of becoming Hokage, but he would give up that dream for Sasuke. And just look at how happy Naruto is because of Sasuke.

What I'm getting at is that I can't ship Naruto with Hinata because he never had that type of strong feeling for her. Kishimoto specifically did not emphasize Naruto's feelings for Hinata in the same way he did for Hinata's love for him or Dan's love for Tsunade. He made it clear that Dan and Tsunade's feelings were mutual. However, with Hinata and Naruto, that connection was never established in the manga. Even in 'Naruto Gaiden,' he chose to have Naruto not think of her. For instance, when Sarada gave him a bento from his wife, he was thinking about Sasuke and Sakura instead.

And when he has the opportunity to think about his family and those he's not related to by blood, he thinks of Sasuke and Iruka, not his wife.

I can understand that he isn't very good at romance, but at some point, you have to admit that Kishimoto did that on purpose.

steeples fingers. what do we know about shizune really

If Mitsuki had Orochimaru's hair quality, long and straight, he would have looked surprisingly a lot like Dan...

Oro definitely has a thing for light haired people. Jiraiya, Tsuna, Kabuto, Sakumo and now Dan... Log/Rogu, Mitsuki, even Suigetsu...

By Masashi Kishimoto

"Thank you, Tsunade… You accomplished more than enough of the things I wanted to do. …I'm sorry I make you feel nothing but painful emotions. I will wait for you on the other side. But please take your time in going there. Because you are my dreams in the flesh. I was able to protect you at the very end… Maybe being brought back by Impure World Reincarnation was worth it…"

Happy birthday Dan!

Tsunade’s trauma is so overlooked. She lost her grandfather(hashirama was young when he died) her great-uncle, her brother, the love of her life, her grandmother(she was OLD when she died compared to anyone else here) and the s*x off*nder

Mission Gone Wrong Part 2/2

Another commissioned art by @sorceressmyr for another snippet. I really can't thank her enough for accepting all my commissions 🥹🥹🥹 Again I hope you enjoy the snippet

“We’re home,” Tsunade called as she and Sakura walked through the door. “Welcome home, you two seem exhausted.” Dan walked over to greet them. Sakura was in awe of how quickly he managed to get home and even changed as if he wasn’t out stopping bad guys and rescuing her a few hours beforehand. “You have no idea, I’ll explain later.” She then looked down to Sakura eyes softening. “Why don’t you put on your favourite tv show.” 

“Okay!” Sakura grinned running over to turn on the TV. Her eyes brightened as an episode of her favourite cartoon started and she began singing the tune. Dan looked over towards Tsunade who nudged her head towards the kitchen so they could get some privacy. 

He could see how on uneasy she was and seemed to be thinking leaning on the counter in thought. “Something wrong?” “Sakura was used as a hostage.” Dan pretended to be shocked, eyes widening taking the information in. “Is she alright? Was she scared?” Of course she was, that was to be expected of any child. “That’s the thing, I tried talking to her about it, but she brushed it off and is acting like nothing happened. She seems fine… too fine.” “Perhaps she’s too young to fully understand what happened.” He was used to it in his line of work, he had seen far many kids in dangerous situations, but they were none the wiser on what was happening. In some cases, their parents were there and were playing along with it being a game. “Hmm hopefully, it’s not good to keep your emotions bottled up. Especially at this age.” Tsunade knew she probably sounded hypocritical, being a spy you had no choice but to hide your emotions if you wanted your mission to go well. Still, something about Sakura being held hostage and the way she was acting didn’t add up. 

Maybe she was overthinking, and Dan was right on her not being able to fully grasp on the situation. “Why don’t you let me talk to her.” “You?” “Sure, I’m done with work for today. I’ll let her watch her cartoons for now to calm down and see if I can find out anything.” The plan didn’t seem too bad, it was worth a shot at least. “Okay, I need to go out later for some work. You two can talk then.” “Sure.” ~~~~ 

“La la la,” Sakura sang spinning around singing the ending theme. Dan was sitting on the sofa smiling away reading the newspaper. “Papa, come dance with me.” Sakura tried to pull him up, but he declined. “I’ll pass, actually Sakura I need to speak to you.” He patted the spot next to him for her to sit, she nodded still humming away taking a seat. “Mama told me what happened.” “Oh, you mean with the bad guy?” “Yeah… the bad guy. Were you afraid?” A part of him felt guilty for leaving her behind but he knew he had to treat her like any other stranger to protect his own identity and her safety. If they knew she was linked to him Sakura and even Tsunade would be put in danger. “I was.” “Was?” “Yeah, but this mystery hero came in and saved me.” Sakura smiled beaming away. “I couldn’t see his face, but he went chasing after them like in my cartoon. He told me to go and get Mama and made sure I wasn’t hurt.” “And you weren’t afraid after that?” “Hmm, I was a little. But if I stick with Mama then next time it won’t happen. And if good guys like him are about, I’ve got nothing to be afraid of.” Sakura stated as a matter of fact. ‘I wouldn’t exactly call myself a good guy.’ She was a bit confused on what he meant by that but didn’t let it show on her face. 

“Besides, Mama said she’ll teach me self-defence.” Sakura said jumping off the couch in a stance and making little punches with her fist like she saw in her shows. “Oh, did she now?” ‘Somehow I’m not surprised.’ 

“You know I know a few moves myself.” Sakura looked at Dan up and down as if trying to figure out if he was telling the truth. “Sakura doesn’t believe Papa.” Ouch, Dan thought still he was happy to know she felt safe with ‘heroes like him’ as she would put it. 

“I’m glad you feel safe but it’s fine to be afraid sometimes.” “I know Papa.” The little girl merely giggled, she knew her Papa would rescue her in a heartbeat. He didn’t have to know that though. And with Mama as well, Sakura felt twice as safe. 

“But I will get strong too!” Again, Sakura made little punches ready for the next bad guy ready to mess with her. “I think you need to punch like this.” Dan made an ‘attempt’ to punch in the air acting like he had no idea what he was doing. 

“No Papa, you have to do it like this.” “Like this?” “No, this.” ~~~ 

“I’m back, oh?” Tsunade smiled seeing the two sleeping on the couch. After their little ‘play fighting’ Sakura showed Dan more of her cartoons and then the two had fallen asleep after a long hard day. 

In Dan’s case with his work and Sakura with all this excitement. Tsunade decided to ask Dan about their talk later and left the two to sleep.

Madara: Hashi, why doesn’t your granddaughter like me?

Hashirama: What do you mean? Is Tsuna being rude to you when I’m not around?

Madara: No, it’s just … she never talks to me unless I talk first. She never looks me in the eye. Do you think maybe we got together too fast, after Mito died? That maybe she resents me or thinks I’m trying to take her grandmother’s place?

Hashirama: *puts his arms around Madara* Stop talking nonsense, old man. Tsuna knows about our past, and how I’ve always felt about you. 

Hashirama: But you’ve got to remember, she really knows nothing about you. And she’s a teenage girl; her interests aren’t realy going to lie in being best friends with her old grandpa’s husband, you know?

Madara, sighing: I suppose you’re right …

Hashirama: I am right. Just give it some time; she’ll come around eventually.

*several weeks later*

Tsunade, going into the Hokage office: Gramps? Are you ready to — oh. 

Madara: He got called away to settle a dispute between two shop owners. But he should be back in just a little bit, if you want to wait?

Tsunade: *nods and sits in a chair, looking out the window*

Tsunade, muttering to herself: Damn … there goes that girl again chasing after Dan. I ought to go after her and punch her lights out.

Madara, quietly: That wouldn’t do you a bit of good, child.

Tsunade: *turns her head sharply to look at him* What?

Madara: Punching somebody is a very poor effort to extract revenge for a wrong. The bruise will heal and as soon as it does, they go right back to the same behavior. Have you warned her about staying away from this “Dan”?

Tsunade: Yes, but she just laughs at me and says that if I’m not enough to hold his attention, then she should be free to take him if she wants. 

Madara: Ah. Still, punching her or any sort of physical violence won’t be effective.

Tsunade: Then what am I supposed to do?!

Madara: Halloween is around the corner. Do you happen to know if she has any fears?

Tsunade: Well, once at academy a little blackbird flew into the window. She panicked and was screaming and crying until some kids caught it and let it back out. So, I suppose birds.

Madara: If she reacts so dramatically over a little blackbird, how do you think she’d react to several hundred hawks and falcons?

Tsunade: She’d probably be traumatized for life. But who in the world would have that many large birds??

Madara: *grins*

*several days later, Halloween afternoon*

Tsunade, running in to Hashirama’s office: It worked! I told the hawks and falcons to circle her and surround her, and they did! I threatened that if she didn’t leave Dan alone, she would suffer the same punishment every day! And she agreed to back off!

Tsunade: Thanks, Uncle Madara! *hugs him and leaves*

Hashirama: Ah? Did — did you show Tsuna how to command your birds — ?

Madara: Mm. Turns out we share two big interests; animals, and revenge.

Hashirama:

[sannin-three]

Sakumo: Ugh, of course the Sannin are already here.

Dan the New Kid: Who are the Sannin?

Dai: They're the Sandaime's students - basically Genin royalty.

Sakumo: Tsunade Senju is one of the strongest and scariest people you'll ever meet.

Dai: I was in her class at the academy. She threw a guy out a window for poking her!

Dan: ...hot.

Sakumo: Jiraiya is a master spy and knows everybody's business. Literally everything about everyone.

Dai: That's why his hair is so big, it's full of secrets.

Sakumo: And evil takes a human form in Orochimaru. Don’t be fooled, because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing, slut-faced ho-bag. But in reality, she is so much more than that...

[valiant-typhoon]

skimming some of the earlier chapters of Naruto has made me realize that Tsunade was 100% right to not want to return to the village, for real

Sasuke was right too, like fuck Konoha

[awinterrosesstuff]

Do you think Tsunade ever had feelings for Jiraiya? I don't think so. I just see them as former teammates who went their own ways, although I like Dan better as Tsunade's partner. Maybe an Uzumaki-Senju or Senju man. I feel like Jiraiya was never Tsunade's type, though I was hurt by his death. Anyway, they both marked the Fifth Hokage.

Hi !

I don't think she loved him romantically. I know some fans believe she did because of that panel.

And to me, it isn’t particularly romantic. It’s logical to cry because your old friend passed away. They had known each other since childhood (more or less 40 years).

I think Tsunade loved Dan, at least until the war. They reached their own conclusion when she was fighting Madara with the other Kages. It was deeply romantic.

She's saying she's honoring him and his dreams by being Hokage. Then he makes his own confession: "For yourself are my dream". It's interesting that Kishimoto can imply the love and care between these two characters in just three panels, without an overt, grand confession. Then Dan kisses her forehead, and she recalls an important moment from their past. Dan uses his last chakra to save Tsunade, and that scene is deeply romantic on both sides. Nothing more is needed. Everything is there to explain what they mean to each other.

Jiraiya was Tsunade's best friend, the ally she trusted the most. Dan was her fiancé, her lover. She loved them both, but in different ways. And the narrative was clear to me.

Muchos murieron y dejaron a sus seres queridos desolados en la Serie Original, otros ni siquiera pudieron crecer, muchos tuvieron una dura infancia y hay uno que otro personaje que su historia está llena de incógnitas, los diseños me han ayudado mucho a encontrarles familias a estos personajes, aunque para los diseñadores/animadores pudo haber sido solo un reciclaje de trabajos.
