Tsunade
Type: Canon
Age: 52
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Hetero
Status: Single
Interest: Jiraiya but refuses to admit it.
Appearance:
The legendary Sannin Tsunade is most likely one of the most voluptuous women a person could ever meet. Nonetheless, along with her beautiful and somewhat sexy figure, she is also a very beautiful woman, but one shouldn't mess with her, of course. Tsunade's face is rather oval-shaped and rounded, accented by the long bangs on either side of her face. Her delicate brown eyes peek out from underneath long, black lashes, and her nose and mouth are quite petite and well-proportionate to her facial structure. One thing that stands out about her, however, is the small, diamond-shaped purple mark on her forehead. It seems to resemble a tattoo of sorts, but in truth is the Yin seal she uses in her Creation Rebirth technique.
Flowing down with a thin, somewhat short neck and a pair of slender shoulders is a figure that could rival many quite easily. The most prominent aspect of her torso, however, is her large and rather protruding bust, which is considerably larger than any other woman people have ever seen. It becomes quite ironic to know that Tsunade was also an ironing board in her younger years, but nonetheless is still quite known for her large bust. The rest of her torso, however, is a slender, feminine hourglass-shape, flowing into her slightly wide hips and long, graceful legs.
Tsunade's attire is quite unique to her, and it is rare that one might actually see her in some sort of Kage-like attire. She is often seen clad in a crossed top that simply can't seem to hide that cleavage of hers, which is grey in colour and tied tight around her ribs with a navy-blue sash. For leg attire, Tsunade is seen in a pair of loose kapris, which match the colour of her sash. She is also often seen in her green haori, with the symbol for "gamble" or "wager", a symbol representing her love and bad habit of gambling. Her feet are usually clad in a pair of black strap heels, which are somewhat of a resemblance of shinobi sandals but function more as a casual pair of heels. Nonetheless, they do come in useful during battle situations, and the ominous click of her heels can also be quite frightening at times. Her nails are also painted a crimson red colour.
Personality:
Tsunade is probably one of the most gruff and harsh people a person could ever meet. Underneath a voluptuous exterior lies a woman who comes off as tough and could care less if you wanted to try against her. Even when facing some sort of personal difficulty that can be great, she still comes off as that tough woman in any situation. It's very rare for the woman to compliment anyone on anything directly, and tend to take a more private approach to praise of anyone's abilities. That being said, Tsunade has been known to readily criticize people for their faults, namely Jiraiya for his perversion and Naruto for his idiocity and immaturity, though this is mostly done in hypocrisy towards her own habits.
On occasion, however, Tsunade has been known to show sympathy for others at times. While this is mostly towards the people she readily cares about and whom are close to her, at times she will show compassion and sympathy for others who might fail at something. For example, she once consoled Shikamaru on the fact that although he had failed the Sasuke Retrieval Mission, he had also come back with every one of his teammates alive, despite the fact that a few had been in near-deathly states.
A compulsive gambler, Tsunade has a very long history of bad luck in the world of gambling. As a result, she has become known as the 'Legendary Sucker' or "Densetsu no Kamo", for the simple fact that many people have made large profits off of her gambling addiction and her misfortune. On the other hand, however, when Tsunade does manage to hit a winning streak, she views it as a bad omen, and is usually correct on that front. In most situations, however, she has the unfortunate disadvantage of terrible luck.
Underneath her rough-and-tough exterior, however, Tsunade also has her fears. She is rather hemophobic, and has a great fear of blood. This was caused by the death of her lover, Dan, because of her failed attempt to save him even though she was trying as hard as she possibly could. As well, she is very distraught about the death of her younger brother, Nawaki, and sees quite a bit of that younger brother in Naruto. This contrast between Naruto and Nawaki could be the cause of Tsunade's odd protection of the boy, even going to the point of nearly killing herself once in order to save the boy who'd saved her own life. Upon sight of any sort of blood, Tsunade has been known to freeze, and it slightly hampers her summoning ability as well.
History:
Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage. This alone granted her prestige and recognition, but she was also lucky enough to be placed under the tutelage of the God of Shinobi, the Third Hokage. With a high level of skill to start her off, plus the blood she carried, Tsunade had something else to boast about – she was the heir of the First Hokage’s necklace, an item worth enormous amounts of money. Continuing the heritage of it, she passed it to her little brother, Nawaki for his birthday. Nawaki, filled with joy, proclaimed that he would eventually become the Hokage. However, tragedy struck when Tsunade approached the scene of a raid one dark evening. Outside, Orochimaru and Jiraiya sat. Cold-heartedly, Orochimaru advised her that it would probably be better in the long run if Tsunade didn’t see Nawaki’s corpse. The necklace was returned to her.
Several years later, Tsunade had grown up considerably and become an expert in the medical field, knowing several special Ninjutsu healing techniques as well as a variety of offensive moves, poisons and treatments. It was at a meeting that she proposed to the Third Hokage that the traditional 3-man cell be altered and carry a medic. It was also at this meeting that she met a young man who shared her views, named Dan. The two discussed their points with each other, slowly becoming friends and in time, lovers. Dan revealed his dream was to become Hokage, for the reason of supporting the ideals of a medic on the team. Tsunade presented him with the necklace. Only once more, on a mission, it brought nothing but bad luck. Dan was fatally wounded. Tsunade came to his aid, but too late. Despite her attempt to heal him, Dan died. Tsunade wept looking at the hands she had placed on his bloody chest. The necklace had claimed another victim and Tsunade was scarred deeper than ever.
Blaming the rejection of the proposal to be the factor in Dan’s death and once again taking back her necklace, Tsunade parted ways with Leaf and wandered, forsaking the ways of the ninja and living a life of gambling, drinking and along the way, acquiring a young apprentice and pet – Dan's young niece Shizune as her aide and a pig with an astounding sense of smell, Tonton. Tsunade abused her powers of bodily manipulation by frequently changing her physical appearance to look like previous ages – sometimes a teenager, a mature lady, or somewhere in between. At 50 years old when she is introduced, she is indistinguishable from a woman 20 years younger than herself. However, the methods she used were not Genjutsu at all – her body physically alters to the condition she chooses to hold it in. By changing how she looks, Tsunade would often loan money from gambling and then use her abilities to make herself harder to track down. Despite this, Tsunade soon gained a reputation, for her desire to gamble was far greater than her success rate while doing so. Often losing huge amounts of money, Tsunade built up the nickname “The legendary sucker”.
After the crippling attack led by Orochimaru on Leaf, the council approached Jiraiya and asked him to accept the position of Hokage. Jiraiya refused, but offered them a replacement in the form of Tsunade, who he promised to bring back with him. At the same time, the Third Hokage had given a parting shot to Orochimaru by stripping the soul from his arms and left Orochimaru in need of a physician. It was in a village overlooked by Tanzaku Castle that Tsunade met the first of her old team. Orochimaru explained the situation to her, clearly stating that he had killed the Third Hokage and his arms were in their current status because of that. However, Orochimaru left her a cruel offer. If she would restore his arms, he would bring back Nawaki and Dan, which he was unable to do without his arms working. Tsunade demanded to know what he would do after – Orochimaru told her he would finish the job on Leaf. The two agreed that the deal would only go ahead if Orochimaru would leave their home alone. Orochimaru gave her a week to decide; also suggesting she secured two corpses as sacrifices.
Shortly after, Jiraiya and Naruto caught up with her and Shizune. Jiraiya presented her with the position of Hokage, but Tsunade rejected it outright, even going so far as to insult it. Her words angered Naruto and they stepped outside, where Tsunade claimed she would beat Naruto with just one finger. During the fight, she became distracted as Naruto’s image reflected the visage of Nawaki. Thrown off for a moment, Naruto used the advantage and attempted to use the Rasengan on her. However, Naruto had still not learned it completely and as promised, a single flick was all it took to floor him. It was then that Tsunade made a wager with Naruto – if he could fully perform the Rasengan in a week, she would give him her monstrously expensive necklace, an heirloom of the First Hokage. Despite how cool she appeared during the bet, Tsunade was being tormented inside, with the offers from Orochimaru and Jiraiya, one good and one bad. Like a devil and angel on each shoulder, Tsunade thought it over for a week. On the sixth evening, Jiraiya joined her for a friendly drink. At this point, Tsunade slipped a tasteless drug with no scent into Jiraiya’s cup. A short time later, she set off to the meeting place with Orochimaru…
Arriving at the rendezvous point with him, Orochimaru stood waiting. As Tsunade reached out to take Orochimaru’s hands, Kabuto attacked her. Orochimaru then uttered that he expected a betrayal… and thanked Kabuto for the warning. Kabuto, being a medic himself, recognised Tsunade was not using any healing technique but a killing one instead. Tsunade then proclaimed that she knew Orochimaru too well and he would not fulfil his promise to stay away from Leaf. Also, bringing back her brother and boyfriend in such a cruel manner only for Orochimaru to then destroy their home would be spitting on their graves. Enraged, Tsunade then chased after the pair, destroying everything in her path with her inhuman strength. In an open field, Kabuto engaged her in combat, taking advantage of her phobia of blood by cutting himself and using a pill to stop clotting. Despite her handicap, Tsunade still fought against him, managing to scramble his nerves briefly but being cut up, on one occasion only surviving a near-fatal slice thanks to her chest padding a blow.
While Kabuto was laying into Tsunade, he was interrupted by the arrival of Naruto, Jiraiya and Shizune. Jiraiya went for Orochimaru and battled him directly, still drugged and hampered while Naruto set himself on Kabuto. A fierce battle between them forced Naruto to use his trump card – an improvised Rasengan. However, as Kabuto was thrown backwards, he got in a quick move and shredded up Naruto’s internal chakra pathways and heart, disabling the Kyuubi’s tremendous healing power. As Naruto sunk down, Tsunade shook off her fear of blood for a moment and put everything she had into keeping Naruto alive, facing the nightmare of seeing her loved ones die again. However, Naruto weakly managed to reach up and touch her necklace, confirming he won the bet.
At this point, Naruto’s Rasengan had caught Orochimaru’s eye, who panicked and lunged at him with his sword protruding from his jaws. Tsunade took the hit instead, right through the chest. Again, she suffered horrendous wounds protecting Naruto from Orochimaru, being showered with blood. But still, she would not move – instead doing the opposite, standing tall and stopping her shaking. With renewed determination, she accepted Jiraiya’s offer and claimed her place as Fifth Hokage. Against Shizune’s pleading, Tsunade then used a special technique: with mass amounts of chakra that she had accumulated and stored in the diamond shape on her forehead, she suddenly released it and caused her body to generate all the vital organs she had lost or taken damage to, instantly putting her body back into prime condition, although as Shizune added, the number of times a cell divides is limited, ultimately shortening Tsunade’s lifespan as her tissues grow back. Taking a smear of her own blood, Tsunade then began making hand seals, prompting Kabuto to return to Orochimaru’s side and Jiraiya to prepare himself too.
The Legendary Three then each summoned their respective assistants, also the rulers over all other summoned animals of their kind – the slug, Katsuyu; the anaconda, Manda and the toad, Gamabunta. Manda proved to be an exceptionally deadly opponent, taking on both Katsuyu and Gamabunta at once as well as evading an incredible blast of fire from Gamabunta and Jiraiya. However, as Manda prepared to take a chunk out of Gamabunta, Tsunade pinned his mouth to the ground with Gamabunta’s dagger and turned on Orochimaru. As he and Kabuto retreated, Tsunade and the rest went back to the place where their first meeting happened. Once again, Naruto’s mouth caused them to step outside and he found himself awaiting the killer finger-flick. Instead, he felt Tsunade’s lips on his forehead and won her respect. With the necklace finally on a suitable owner that survived the curse, Tsunade returned with Naruto and Jiraiya as Hokage, but to trouble.
One of her first acts was to check on people in the hospital, including Sasuke and Rock Lee. Lee’s case was very sensitive, saying that even with her skills, the operation to correct the damage he received while performing the Reverse Lotus was risky… with a 50% chance of him surviving it. Tsunade’s next act was when she found out another patient had gone AWOL – Uchiha Sasuke. With most of the Jounin and Chuunin unavailable, Tsunade assembled a small group led by Shikamaru and sent them after Sasuke. It was while they were away that she began the operation on Lee, who survived and immediately ran after the other Genin, mistakenly taking Tsunade’s bottle of alcohol with him instead of his medicine. As an additional precaution, Tsunade called in a debt from Sand, enlisting the aid of the Sand Siblings, Gaara, Kankurou and Temari in the mission. Despite their best efforts, Sasuke would not return and in deep sorrow, Tsunade was approached by Sakura, who enrolled as her understudy. For the next two and a half years, Tsunade instructed Sakura on medical techniques as well as passing on the secrets of her amazing physical strength.
Chakra Element: Unknown
Rank: Kage
Affiliation: Konohagakure no Sato
Weapons:
~ Basic Shinobi Kit
Known Jutsu:
~ Any and all basic jutsu ~
~ [Advanced] Transformation Skill [Henge no Jutsu] :: This is the regular transformation skill. However, Tsunade has mastered the ability to the point where she always appears like a young woman. On the same note, if she loses chakra, the transformation will slowly disappear and her true appearance will show.
~ Chakra Scalpel [Chakura no Mesu] :: This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, the chakra scalpel can actually make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection. The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the chakra scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cuts muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.
~ Creation Rebirth [Sōzō Saisei] :: Over time Tsunade concentrates chakra to a spot on her forehead that takes the form of a diamond. When she releases the seal, the chakra disperses and stimulates the proteins of her body to increase the speed of cell division and reconstruction of cells for as long as she has enough chakra. This allows her to recreate all organs and tissues. The technique itself does not regenerate the old cells, rather it hastens the creation of new ones through division. Unfortunately, a body's cells can only split a certain number of times in a lifetime. By speeding up this process Tsunade is shortening her natural lifespan. To what degree is unknown, but what's clear is that it isn't great enough to cause her to die in battle. This can also be used with Katsuyu's Slug Great Division to heal a large number of people, though this requires a special seal and extra users.
~ Four Corner Sealing Barrier [Kekkai Shihō Fūjin] :: This technique is designed to seal demons. It is performed with four separate scrolls and a sample of blood similar to a Summoning Technique. Shizune mentioned that good chakra control and concentration is needed to perform the sealing technique. To use this technique, a scroll is needed to seal the numerous amounts of chakra. This technique is apparently supposed to seal the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle in its own dimension, permanently. This jutsu has three stages: a "Search" stage, a "Bind" stage, and a "Lock" stage in capturing the target.
~ Important Body Points Disturbance [Ranshinshō] :: By converting her chakra into electricity, Tsunade is able to flip the opponent's nervous system signals to any part of the body. For example, if someone tried to move their right arm, a different part of the body would move in the way they wanted their right arm to move. However, the victim can partially overcome the technique if they manage to relearn the connection between their thoughts and their limbs, as Kabuto demonstrates.
~ Medical Ninjutsu: Strong Beam [?] :: After charging medical chakra into their hands, the user palm-thrusts the enemy and discharges the chakra to incapacitate them.
~ Mystical Palm Technique [Shousen no Jutsu] :: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it highly useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. By sending an excess amount of chakra into the patient's body, the user can overload the patient's normal circulation, trapping them in a comatose state. Although this is usually undesirable, Kabuto Yakushi once effectively used this side effect to get Kiba Inuzuka out of his way.
~ Bruising Sky Leg [Tsūtenkyaku] :: This jutsu is simply a falling axe kick to the ground. Combined with Tsunade's incredible strength, this kick results in either a gigantic crater or a deep fracture along the ground, killing any opponents caught in its immediate strike zone.
~ Yin Seal: Release [Infūin: Kai] :: Yin Seal: Release is a powerful sealing technique developed by Tsunade that allows her to use the Creation Rebirth technique. Over a period of time, Tsunade will focus and build up chakra in the seal mark on her forehead. The release command will disperse the seal and allow the stored chakra to pump back into her body.
~ Delicate Illness Extraction Technique [Saikan Chūshutsu no Jutsu] :: When a person has been afflicted by a pathogen or toxin, this medical ninjutsu can be used to draw out the agent and heal the damage. First the cause of the illness is determined by perceiving disturbances in the patient's chakra. Then, using a chakra scalpel, an incision is made into the affected part. Using their chakra, the medical-nin then draws out the agent, while simultaneously repairing the damage it caused. After the agent is drawn out, it can be used to create an antidote or medicine, which can then be given to the patient to ensure a complete recovery. This technique requires the utmost care and ability in diagnosis and incising and unmatched chakra control. Therefore, it is considered an extremely difficult technique, even among medical ninjutsu.
~ Summoning Technique: Slugs [Kuchiyose no Jutsu]

Rule Code: Super Strength
Sample RP:
Tsunade frowned as Sakura dashed out, Kakashi following quickly behind. She didn't know the girl too well, but she was sure that it was some outrageous plan... Not to mention that with the Kyuubi outside, things could definitely take a turn for the worst. As well, they needed at least one medic down there, and Kabuto could probably have used a rest. Tsunade had much more skill, anyways.
"I'm going to follow them. It probably isn't a good idea to let them face the Kyuubi like that." Without waiting for an answer, Tsunade was out the door, but was baffled by what she saw. Long, white, slightly spiked hair, tied in a ponytail at the base of his neck, and a toad. Tsunade's fists clenched. Oh, there would be hell to pay after this... Nonetheless, her own minor revenge wasn't something to dwell on just then. She noticed a flicker of raven-black hair, someone that Jiraiya seemed to be carrying in his arms... No. Could it really be Uchiha Sasuke? Tsunade would ask questions later.
"Jiraiya-san, it's a long story, and there isn't much time to explain," Tsunade said sharply. Towards Jiraiya, her tone literally said 'one ass kicking, coming up as soon as possible'. Now, of course, she was sure Jiraiya remembered the last time Tsunade had kicked his ass... And no, it hadn't been pretty. Her heels clicked on the packed, sandy dirt, and she leaned her weight on one foot, surveying the situation she saw before her. She saw Kankuro, his face bleeding, though not badly, and Sakura uttering heartfelt words. So that was what she was trying to do...Trying to bring Naruto's will back out. Sakura seemed more intelligent than Tsunade had given her credit for.
She motioned to Kankuro, gesturing for him to make his way here. She was sure he knew the fact that she was a medic, and now there were more people here. Temari. She could see Gaara, too, just barely. It was a party, but two Sannin, two Genin, ane one Kazekage-jinchuuriki might not be enough to subdue the Kyuubi. However, from the point it looked, Naruto seemed to be trying to take control. It seemed, from the way that he was attacking his own body with a kunai, first in his leg, and then in his own shoulder, that he was trying to drive out the Kyuubi. That was relieving. If Sakura's words could convince the young boy that he shouldn't let the Kyuubi control him... They could possibly have a chance. Tsunade knew, simply from what had happened back near Tanzaku town, against Orochimaru, that the snake sannin wasn't coming back any time soon. Especially, of course, after puking up the remnants of his stomach and breaking a few ribs. Even so, if Orochimaru did manage to show up, surely it would be manageable. From the story she had heard, the Kyuubi wanted Orochimaru dead... And Tsunade had managed to put him in a bad position all on her own.
Come on, Sakura, make this work! Tsunade thought desperately. It seemed the girl knew what she was doing, but her words seemed... Odd. They had a sort of ring to it... Tsunade looked at the girl's facial expressions. No way. Hell no. Really? Tsunade wasn't sure what she was seeing, but it seemed that the girl loved him or something. Cute, Tsunade thought dryly, remembering the last time she had been with Jiraiya... No, no, no! Tsunade forced such thoughts and memories out of her conscious mind for now. She could deal with them later.
"So tell me, what the hell brings you here?" Tsunade snapped, her words directed at Jiraiya. Just to add a little more kickstart to what she was saying, she cracked the knuckles on each of her hands. That ought to get the sannin talking fast, that was for sure. "And how in the hell did you manage to get him away from Orochimaru?" Tsunade said, a hint of curiosity in her voice. That fact was going to bother her for a while. She looked at the boy again. She could see the wounds and injuries, and she could see that his left arm was in a bit of a lopsided and limp position... Probably broken. She couldn't see anything of his right shoulder, but nonetheless, a chakra-covered hand reached out. Yes, the bone was broken. Luckily, the boy was in the perfect position that she could heal it without any abnormalities. It would take a while, though, as it was not as small of a break as Sakura's ribs had been. There would be almost too many explanations to deal with later on. Way too many.
