| | Tsunade is the third and last part of the three Legendary Leaf Sennins, with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Tsunade was also the first medical ninja to be put on the field. | At a young age, Tsunade had a dramatic death that made her to push for a medical unit to be implemented in the Konoha military; the death of her younger brother Nawaki, the day after she gave him the necklace which belonged to the 2nd Hokage. After the meeting which she laid out her idea, which was initially rejected, another Jounin pushed his support for the idea. Tsunade and the Jounin named Dan became very close, until Dan was killed by enemy ninjas. Since then, Tsunade has had a paralyzing fear of blood. Tsunade's fighting techniques are few, as she is a medical specialist. But she has an obscene amount of strength, even at a young age, and "one good hit" will kill anyone, as Kabuto puts it. As a side note, her summon, Katsuyu, doesn't seem to talk much. She seems to be rather shy. |
Second Hokage The Second Hokage (ډΉe, Nidaime Hokage?) was the younger brother of the First Hokage, making him the grand uncle of the Fifth Hokage (Tsunade) and Nawaki. He was highly skilled in water jutsu, and could even perform them without a water source. He contributed greatly to the development of Konoha by establishing the Ninja Academy and many more of Konoha's systems and organizations. He died while fighting in the Ninja World War, after first having given his title of Hokage to his student, Sarutobi.[1][10] The anime's Tea Country arc reveals that the Second possessed a valuable retractable energy sword called Raijin (_, Raijin? lit. "Thunder God", English TV: "Sword of the Thunder Spirit"). Despite its appearance as an arc of lightning, the blade can be cracked and broken like a regular sword, as shown at the end of the arc.
Decades after the Second's death, Orochimaru resurrects both him and the First to battle their former student, the Third Hokage. With the Third unable to defeat them in his old age, he seals away their souls, sentencing them to an eternity of continuous battle.
