Tsunade is a bad Hokage

1. Again Pro goes back to ridiculing Tsunade's past. Yes, it is true that she was a compulsive gamblers, but ever since she has become the Hokage she has not gambled a time of actual money in a bet. Pro says that Tsunade has become even worse gambling on her decisions. Pro, she is the leader of the Leaf's entire military force, she has to decide the missons, and take the chance that any of her ninjas can die at any moment. There is no such thing as a risk free mission. Tsunade was a gambler in her past, but she is also the top medical ninja in the entire world, she has led team in the great ninja wars, saved countless lives, and continues to do so as the Hokage. 1) The war just ended many ninjas have already died trying to protect the village. She had to send ninjas to patrol the village, reconstruction, and be at home in case of emergency war time action from the other villages. Remember the Leaf' military force has declined tremendously, and they have lost the 3rd hokage a shinobi village can attack at any moment. The leaf does not have many Jonins, there is barely enough to fit a room full of them. If Tsunade had sent 4 jonins to search for Sasuke, she risks the entire village safety by weakening the home security. 2) Orochimaru only had like Kabuto and scrubs in his fake village to invade the Leaf... They were his elite body guards but so what? Orochimaru was the leader of the hidden sound for how long? He spent an ample amount of his time with Akatsuki how could he have possibly had the time to train actual elite ninjas? The sound 4 beat the jonins because they had the advantage of ambushing them. It was a A rank mission... Like you said before the sound 4 had already taken out 4 of the leaf's limited Jonin staff, her hands were tied she could not risk the safety of the entire leaf village at that point to save one shinobi. Any mission a shinobi should be prepared to die. Tsunade eventually came up with remedies and treatment to save the lives of both Neji and Choji- Good Hokage. The Sand could not afford to take such action... The sand village's power had declined worse than ours, and for long periods of time the Sand had to rely on our alliance just to survive. The sand lost their Kazekage, had no leader, lost more shinobis than the hidden leaf, and have disgraced their entire village name by allowing a terrorist to control their entire country. The Sand had to redeem their image and rebuild the relationship with the hidden leaf just to secure their future. If they refused the mission they faced the risk of the Leaf going to war again, the sand could not afford another war with no legitimate leader in place to challenge the Hokage. Tsunade would have to get approval from the leaf's jonin to take such action. Kakashi who is the leaf's most respected jonin and next in line for Hokage would not allow his own student to be confined. The Danzo arc showed that the Hokage's relationship with the Jonin are of utmost importance. Naruto and the rest of the genin would not bear to see their beloved classmate detained when he has not done anything wrong yet. The leaf village is all about the bonds of friendship, Tsunade would have risked the village shinobis completely shunning her if she chose to detain sasuke taking such barbaric option on a 1) Child 2) Last member of the Uchiha clan, who were already exterminated 3) a prospective ninja who could carry the "will of fire" I doubt any of the U.S soldiers are 13 years old PRO. The 1st hokage died in the fight with Madara, it was already revealed in the recent naruto manga chapters with Madara saying he fooled Hashirama into thinking he beat him in order to acquire one of the 6paths used by the founder of all ninjutsu. http://mangastream.com... The thought that Hashirama beat Madara has not been verified by anyone has had been deemed a LEGEND. Legend-a story about mythical or supernatural beings or events The 2nd hokage failing to trust the Uchiha clan led to the distrusts. Madara had already tried to create a coup de teat but the Uchiha had already settled into the leaf's system. The 3rd hokage could have avoided the coup de teat if he just did a better job with negotiations. It does not matter how hard he tried if he failed to stop a CIVIL war. 3rd hokage had the burden of settling home disputes how is any of this Tsunade's fault that 3rd hokage had to eventually approve of the Uchiha extermination leading to the terrorist Sasuke Uchiha? Pro nobody died in the Cold War this is a bad example to compare U.S to Soviets. Richard Nixon is seen as a bad president by a lot of majority polls and he dealt during the time of the Soviets. http://en.wikipedia.org... The 4th did not need to die in the process. Naruto manga chapter 504 clearly shows Kushina begging the 4th hokage not to kill himself because he does not have to.The 4th felt like he had to sacrifice himself to give Naruto power and preserve the balance of the tailed beasts. Kushina says in the beginning to the 4th hokage. "Why, Why the dead demon seal?! There is no reason for you to die just so i can see him for a few minutes when he's older! Why are you sacrificing Naruto just to preserve the balance of the tailed beasts... to save the village and the country... to save me..." The 4th's death was unnecessary he just did the dead demon seal so his wife would not have to die alone, and to give them both a chance to see their child when he was older. http://www.mangareader.net... 2) The Hokages have all shown instances where they have had soldiers who refused to follow orders I don't know where you are going with this. Except the 4th's short term at power. Again I don't know where you are going with these examples. The 3rd hokage found Orochimaru conducting experiments in plain sight, and saw him wipe out 2 of his ANBU bodyguards and he still let him run away from the village. 3rd hokage if he had less sympathy and emotions, Tsunade would not have had to deal with any of this. It was not Herbert Hoovers fault that there was a Great Depression he did nothing to cause it, he just inherited it. Tsunade inherited all the problems of the past Hokages. 3) Tsunade has not harmed a single member of the Leaf... Murder example won't work here. The art of war does not follow in the examples of a fictional world where people shoot fireballs from their mouths. Tsunade has anger issues but it has not prevented her from being a good hokage. During the Pein arc she gave up all her chakra to save as many villagers as she could. A leader who puts the village first above all else is a good leader. 4) I have tried to explain to you that risky decisions are a part of any leader of a military forces life. Tsunade with the Sasuke arc, could not have sent more than she did, it would have left the village too weak to defend themselves. Village security or the life of one shinobi? These decisions have to be made when your a leader. One person is not worth the lives of hundreds of people. Also technically if you look at it from another point of view. BECAUSE she sasuke successfully left the village, it led to the death of Orochimaru. 5) She was not Hokage and nobody else could have taken the job. Tsunade was the only option that would have at least kept the other villagers from attacking. When Tsunade was made hokage, Kakashi was too young, Danzo was not respected and seemed handicapped, they had to pick Tsunade the Slug princess. Tsunade's actions before that should have wiped her failure to kill Orochimaru. The ends justified the means. All of Tsunade's decisions in the end led to good for Konoha. Sasuke leaving led to the death of orochimaru. Naruto's freedom led to the death of Pein. Tsunade showed her love for the village, when she threw all her chakra in attempts to save the village.
