[Tsunade's victory at the gambling table meant another failure in her life]
[The Ninja World is full of tragic fates]
[Without struggle, without fighting, you can't even protect a child]
[Actively changing the world is the way to break the chain of tragedy]
[Tsunade, determined to get revenge, is so cool! The Tsunade Hime who slaughtered battlefields is back!]
The animator only used one shot of Tsunade snatching the scroll from Uchiha Fūyō's hand and dragging him along to briefly explain everything.
Tsunade, as a direct descendant of the First Hokage and a disciple of the Third Hokage, chose to "rebel" and cooperate with the Uchiha, just to avenge her newly taken little apprentice.
But it was also quite consistent with her usual style of action over the years.
The next shot showed Tsunade stepping into Kusagakure.
In a flash, she tracked down Shimura Rō, who had been hiding for many days, and sent him flying through two layers of ceiling with one Monster Strength Punch.
[Fūyō… Oh my god, even he left the village]
[The Uchiha are reliable, with their intelligence gathering ability]
[Do you know why Konoha is wary of the Uchiha? With such financial and material resources, and the chosen cheat code Sharingan, who wouldn't be intimidated?]
[A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty]
[A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years; Tsunade's revenge is not too late in a day]
[Tsunade: If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die in the evening!]
[After taking a punch and a kick from Tsunade, is the person still alive?]
[Fūyō must have wanted to tear this guy to pieces, but he couldn't. The Uchiha needed evidence for this revenge to be justified.]
[When he stood in front of Tsunade, wasn't his own heart bleeding? Wuwuwu]
Jiraiya's timeline once again intersected with Tsunade's. He tried to persuade her to hand the person over to him, but she flatly refused.
Tsunade looked into her old partner's eyes, observing with persistent care, checking if his gaze had been stained by that great dye vat.
-- Don't become like them, Jiraiya. You clearly know what the outcome will be.
-- If you're going to fight for justice, don't always be timid and indecisive.
-- Whatever the consequences, that is the karma they should bear. They made their own mess, and they must clean it up themselves.
Jiraiya, of course, understood what Tsunade meant, and was startled to realize that his way of thinking was almost completely different from when he was young.
-- Is this the power of time?
-- It makes us no longer brave and upright, no longer persistent in pursuing fairness, but instead willing to betray our once vibrant selves for the sake of maintaining the status quo.
-- If it were me at fifteen, what would he say?
Jiraiya thought, and the white-haired youth in his memory was so vivid he almost leaped out of the screen. He stood with his hands on his hips, loudly telling the heavy-hearted man of today:
To hell with it! Jiraiya!
Jiraiya threw his head back and laughed, transforming back into the dashing and unrestrained hero he once was.
"Let's go, let's drink!"
[Jiraiya still wanted to use peaceful means, but that was unlikely to happen]
[You reap what you sow!]
[Tsunade stopped Jiraiya before he became the next Hiruzen Sarutobi]
[Seeing young Jiraiya really makes me want to cry… Wuwuwuwu]
[How he hated evil back then!]
[Hero Jiraiya!! My great martial artist, the Frog Sage, he's revived!!]
[Naraku's death really changed so many people]
[But my youth will never return, wuwuwuwuwu]
---
Naraku had to admit he was touched to see Tsunade so heartbroken for him, but he was also a little afraid that he would receive a "fist of love" after he returned.
Maybe I should make myself look more miserable, so Tsunade won't have the heart to hit me, right?
