Tsunade Senju

* Base
* Byakugo Seal Active

### Introduction

Tsunade is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki. Because Hashirama was the First Hokage of Konohagakure, Tsunade is called "Princess" (姫, Hime). Hashirama doted on Tsunade when she was very young because she was his first grandchild, and found her deviance and her adoption of his own gambling habits highly amusing. Tsunade inherited his necklace when he died. After she graduated from Konoha's Academy, Tsunade was teamed with Orochimaru and Jiraiya under the leadership of Hiruzen Sarutobi. When Jiraiya failed to acquire a bell during the team's first bell test, Tsunade teased him, prompting him to criticise her flat chest. Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki dreamed of someday becoming Hokage so that he could protect Konoha, their grandfather's legacy. On Nawaki's twelfth birthday, Tsunade kissed his forehead and gave him Hashirama's necklace in the hopes that it would help him achieve his dream. He died the next day, a casualty of the ongoing Second Shinobi World War, thus returning the necklace to her. Tsunade began advocating for the inclusion of medical-nin on all four-man squads in order to avoid future deaths like Nawaki's. Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, agreed with her arguments, but could not dedicate resources to the necessary implementation due to the ongoing war. Dan Katō, on the other hand, shared her views, and as their relationship developed he confided with her his dreams of becoming Hokage so that he could bring change to Konoha and protect his loved one from death. Tsunade kissed his forehead and gave him Hashirama's necklace in the hopes that it would help him achieve his dream.

## Character Details

Like other students of the Third Hokage, Tsunade is an exceptionally talented shinobi. Her skills became well-known following the Second Shinobi World War when dubbed by Hanzō as a Sannin, alongside Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Tsunade's skills are popularly held as the reason for Konoha's victory during that war, and in the years following, became known as the world's strongest kunoichi. Despite being rusty, Tsunade's skills easily outclassed Kabuto Yakushi's when they battled, with him having to rely on using a Military Rations Pill to continue battling, and use her fear of blood against her to gain the upperhand. Following the Third Hokage's death, she was unanimously recognised to become the Fifth Hokage, proving her worth by saving countless villagers when Pain decimated. Even the likes of Madara Uchiha admits that Tsunade was worthy of being a Kage.

## Powers and Stats

**Tier**: **7-B** | up to possibly **7-A**

**Name**: Tsunade Senju

**Series**: Naruto

**Age**: 51 (Part I) | 54-55 (Part II)

**Classification**: Human, Jonin, Hokage, Medical Ninja, Legendary Sannin, Kunoichi

**Powers and Abilities**: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Chakra Manipulation, Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant (She is an elite Shinobi with decades of combat experience under her belt. She casually disarmed and outskilled Naruto. She's able to contend with masterful combatants such as Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Madara Uchiha for extended periods of time), Acrobatics, Statistics Amplification (Shinobi are capable of enhancing their physical capabilities with the use of chakra. The Shunshin no Jutsu allows Shinobi to greatly enhance their speed by focusing chakra in their feet), Surface Scaling and Water Walking (By focusing chakra at the soles of their feet, Shinobi can scale and cling to vertical surfaces, and even walk on water), Minor Illusion Creation and Duplication (With the Clone Technique, Shinobi can create illusionary duplicates of themselves that have no physical substance), Shapeshifting (With the Transformation Technique, Shinobi can transform themselves into other people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects, such as weapons), Paralysis Inducement (With the Temporary Paralysis Technique, Shinobi can completely paralyze their targets from close to mid range), Afterimage Creation, Stealth Mastery, and Speed Enhancement (The Substitution Jutsu allows its user to instantly replace themselves with a nearby object such as a tree log, plant, person, or clone at the exact moment they are attacked. The Jutsu works even if the user is physically restrained or observed by characters as observant as Sharingan or Sage Mode users. This creates the optical illusion of the user being hit, which confuses the opponent and gives them an opening to flee or counterattack), Genjutsu Nullification (Shinobi can typically break free from and nullify non-ocular genjutsu by intentionally disrupting the flow of chakra within their bodies), Enhanced Senses and Information Analysis (Can detect someone's erratic heartbeats, and accurately diagnose their physical condition with a mere glance from a few meters away), Analytical Prediction (Taught and trained Sakura to master her evasion techniques, which allowed her to gradually read someone's attack patterns and start dodging accordingly, even from blindspots. Tsunade herself showed her mastery of this technique during her fight with Kabuto when she effortlessly dodged his underground sneak attack), Electricity Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Limited Durability Negation (Can perform internal damage like cutting muscle tendons and tissues without directly affecting the skin), Statistics Amplification (Can greatly enhance her strength and strikes with chakra. She can also release the Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead to gain access to her accumulated chakra and to greatly increase her strength even further), Healing on a physical, mental, and Spiritual level (As the world's most skilled Medical Ninja, her healing abilities are unmatched. She has performed many seemingly impossible feats in the medical field such as healing the psychological damage inflicted upon Sasuke and Kakashi by Tsukuyomi with a mere touch, healing Rock Lee's spine injury which was deemed a helpless case, counteracted the effects of the Three Coloured Pills with instructions from the Nara Clan's Sacred Medical Guide, analyzed and neutralized the poisons of renowned experts such as Chiyo of the Sand, and much more. She was also noted to be the only one capable of healing Orochimaru's arms, which had their soul sealed away and lost their ability to function, even though Orochimaru had the aid of a competent Medical Ninja such as Kabuto. She was able to effortlessly heal Shikamaru, when even Sakura and his Kyuubi cloak's healing were barely keeping him alive. When linked up with Katsuyu, she can heal thousands of people at once), Non-Physical Interaction, Poison Manipulation (Can produce and imbue her weaponry with deadly poisons), Immortality (Type 3; She can regenerate from what would normally be lethal injuries using her Creation Rebirth Jutsu, such as impalement, and can even survive complete bisection for an extended period of time while extremely low on chakra), Regeneration (Low-Mid; with her Creation Rebirth Jutsu, she can stimulate her cellular division in order to regenerate organs and limbs, as long as she still has enough chakra. She is able to regenerate from being pierced by Madara's Susanoo and was still alive after being cut in half), Immense Pain Tolerance (She can withstand grueling and life-threatening injuries, such as swords plunging straight through her torso and getting cut in half, without succumbing to the pain or losing the ability to fight. Easily endured being stabbed straight through the chest by Orochimaru, and then getting repeatedly slashed by his blade), Status Effect Inducement (Can disrupt the electrical signals in the brain to confuse the enemy's movements), Limited Illusion Creation (Used to keep her looking young), Summoning (Able to summon Katsuyu, a giant slug who can heal targets, manipulate acid, and split up into thousands of smaller parts of herself to avoid damage or relay information telepathically), Biological Manipulation and limited Regeneration Negation (She can kill people using Medical Ninjutsu, and Orochimaru would have died on the spot had he touched her chakra. She should also be capable of combining her chakra-enhanced fists with her medical Ninjutsu in a similar manner to Sakura in order to simultaneously heal the damage resulting from the punches, eventually killing the affected cells from over-replication), Sleep Inducement (Can create undetectable knockout drugs that can be utilized against experienced Shinobi, and should be able to create and use knockout gases like Sakura, since she's the one who taught her how to make them), Fear-Inducing Aura (Much like her peers, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Tsunade can also project her bloodlust in order to scare other highly skilled and experienced Shinobi. Even Kabuto, who's always around Orochimaru, was visibly fazed by her bloodlust)

**Attack Potency**: **City Level** (Like Sakura, she is renowned for her monster strength even among the likes of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.) **Mountain Level** (Capable of keeping up and potentially killing Kabuto with a single hit if she were to land.) **Mountain Level+** (With Byakugo seal should be comparable to the likes of late sage mode Jiraiya.)

**Speed**: **Massively Hypersonic+** (Directly compared to the likes of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.)

**Durability**: **City Level** (Like Sakura, she is renowned for her monster strength even among the likes of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.) **Mountain Level** (Capable of keeping up and potentially killing Kabuto with a single hit if she were to land.) **Mountain Level+** (With Byakugo seal should be comparable to the likes of late sage mode Jiraiya.)

**Stamina**: **Superhuman**

**Intelligence**: **Genius** (Tsunade is hailed as the world's greatest medical-nin, able to identify any ailments at a glance and treat conditions that other medical-nin deem impossible to cure. Orochimaru believed only she could reverse the necrosis-like effects of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Amongst other things, she healed the psychological damage of Tsukuyomi, fixed the damage to Rock Lee's spine when he was deemed a helpless case,  and counteracted the effects of the Three Coloured Pills with instructions from the Nara Clan Medical Encyclopaedia. She also near-instantly healed Shikamaru's severe chakra depletion after he came into contact with a root of the God Tree; the chakra cloak surrounding him noticeably reacting to her treatment. Undoubtedly, the pinnacle of Tsunade's medical prowess is her Creation Rebirth, which draws on her vast chakra supplies to instantaneously heal any wounds she receives. Because it requires no hand seals to perform, she needs no conscious effort on her part once active, and can heal any damage no matter how severe (her chakra levels permitting); Orochimaru describes it as a form of immortality that even he is envious of. Despite how useful it is in battle, Creation Rebirth is a double-edged sword: the body's cells can only divide and be created a set amount of times, so whenever Tsunade uses the technique she shortens her lifespan. Because of this, she only uses it in very desperate situations.)

**Weakness**: *Byakugo seal will shorten her life when she uses it too much*

**Notable Attacks/Techniques**:

* **Ranshinshou (Body Pathway Derangement):** Tsunade hits a particular point on the opponent's body and releases her chakra inside, disrupting and rearranging the nerve signals in the brain. The technique confuses the movements of the limbs, effectively paralysing them. For example, if someone is trying to move his right arm, a different body part would perform the same movement.

* **Sozo Saisei (Creation Rebirth):** By using a large amount of chakra, Tsunade can enter a regenerative state that allows her to heal from fatal wounds quickly and even regenerate lost limbs and organs. However, the use of this technique shortens her lifespan.

* **Byakugo no Jutsu (Strength of a Hundred Technique):** An advanced form of Tsunade's Creation Rebirth technique. She is covered in various tattoos and markings, giving her a general power increase and constant regenerative abilities.
	+ **Summon Katsuyu:** Tsunade summons her giant slug, Katsuyu. It can spit acid or heal others by dividing it into many small slugs and transfer its chakra directly to them.
	+ **Chakra Transfer Technique:** Tsunade can transfer her chakra to others, which powers up their abilities. It can bring Onoki's strengths up from Small City to Large Mountain level of power.
	+ **Enkaku Chiyu (Remote Healing):** Through the use of Katsuyu's clones, she can heal and shield an entire city's worth of people, unlocking her *In Fuin* (Yin Seal) can even protect the villagers from an attack that was capable of leveling a town
