Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

[Actually, during the Second Great Ninja War, something happened that could be said to have changed Tsunade's life forever.]

[On her brother Nawaki's birthday, Tsunade gave him the family heirloom, the necklace that once belonged to their grandfather, Senju Hashirama.]

[Hearing her brother say that his dream was to become Hokage and protect the village that their grandfather created, Tsunade felt very proud and even kissed Nawaki, hoping that one day he could live up to their grandfather, Hashirama.]

[But Tsunade didn't know, at that moment, her passive ability, "Kiss of Death," was triggered.]

[A few days later, Nawaki, who had just joined the battlefield, really did meet their grandfather…]

[He stepped on an Explosive Tags trap and died in action.]

[Upon hearing the news of her brother's death, Tsunade's heart nearly shattered. She wanted to see him one last time, but Jiraiya stopped her.]

[Jiraiya: "It's better if you don't see him in this state."]

[Hearing this, Tsunade understood. Her brother must have died in a horrible way, so much so that even Jiraiya couldn't bear to let her see.]

[Then Orochimaru's next words changed Tsunade forever.]

[Orochimaru: "After all, there are no medical ninjas on the battlefield."]

[These words instantly woke Tsunade up. If there had been a medical ninja on the scene, perhaps Nawaki wouldn't have died.]

[Tsunade gripped Nawaki's belongings tightly. She swore that she would never let such a tragedy happen again.]

"Unfortunately, the tragedy still repeated itself."

Just thinking about her little brother, Nawaki, Tsunade's mood sank deeply.

As his older sister, she had failed to protect him.

As a medical ninja, she hadn't joined the efforts to save Nawaki in time.

So, Tsunade felt a great deal of guilt over his death.

"If only the old man had agreed to my proposal back then, maybe Nawaki wouldn't have died."

"But after becoming Hokage, I can sort of understand the old man now."

"Well~ everything is fate."

Tsunade sighed, and then her expression suddenly turned fierce. She punched the desk with all her might, smashing it, and growled, "But I, Tsunade, never accept fate!"

Desk: If you don't accept fate, then why smash me?

o(╥﹏╥)o

[To prevent another tragedy from happening, Tsunade proposed during a meeting to assign a medical ninja to every team.]

[Although the Third Hokage thought the proposal was a good one, the village simply did not have the funds to train more medical ninjas, so it was rejected. Even Jiraiya, who had always supported her, chose to remain silent.]

[Seeing her proposal rejected, Tsunade angrily called the Third Hokage an old fool.]

[And Jiraiya's silence gave the man the perfect opportunity to step in.]

[That man, as everyone knows, is Kato Dan.]

[Kato Dan's strong support left Tsunade dumbfounded, thinking: Who are you, little brother? Do I know you?]

[But despite being dumbfounded, his appearance still brought Tsunade a sense of warmth amidst the cold crowd.]

[Upon learning that Kato Dan's sister had also died in the war, the two, sharing a similar sorrow, grew closer to each other.]

[A side note, Jiraiya, what the hell are you doing? When Tsunade needed support the most, why did you suddenly become so rational? Now look at this, Kato Dan swooped in and stole the opportunity. You deserve to fail at catching up to Tsunade. Tch.]

"Uh, Tsunade, it's not that I don't support you, but the village is really in a difficult situation."

In the time of the Third Hokage, hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade crossed her arms and coldly looked at him, replying: "That's why I said you're an idiot. You're impulsive when you should be rational, and rational when you should be impulsive."

"If I had stood up to support you back then, would there have been no Kato Dan involved?"

Tsunade fell silent for a while, then uncertainly replied: "Maybe..." 

Just as Jiraiya was regretting, Orochimaru interjected: "Not necessarily. Think about Kato Dan's methods. Jiraiya, you truly can't compare to him."

From what the people watching Kato Dan's video analysis saw, whether his actions were deeply calculated or genuine, his methods were indeed impressive.

"Eh? What methods? What are you all talking about?"

Since Tsunade hadn't seen Kato Dan's video analysis, she naturally didn't know. The people around her didn't seem to have a very good opinion of him.

"It's nothing, let's just keep watching the video."

Tsunade: ???

[Through her interactions with Kato Dan, Tsunade learned that his dream, just like Nawaki's, was to become Hokage and protect everyone.]

[Maybe it was at that moment that Tsunade began to develop feelings for Kato Dan.]

[She gathered the courage to give Kato Dan a kiss and gave him the necklace that was a relic of Senju Hashirama, hoping he could fulfill his dreams.

[The necklace and the kiss appeared at the same time, as if triggering a curse.

[During the Second Great Ninja War, Kato Dan was severely injured, with even his internal organs blown away.

[As a medical ninja, Tsunade was helpless, watching the one she loved slowly die.

[Perhaps this was when Tsunade truly understood that, in the face of brutal war, medical ninjutsu seemed powerless.

[In a short time, both her younger brother and lover died tragically, causing Tsunade to develop hemophobia.

[Getting this disease meant the end of her medical ninja career; she would only be able to perform minor surgeries that wouldn't involve blood.

[Because both Nawaki and Kato Dan's dream was to become Hokage, and the word Hokage seemed like a curse etched into Tsunade's heart, she believed only a fool would choose to become Hokage.

[And so, Tsunade slowly became despondent.

[But she gave her final love and hope to Dan's niece, Shizune.

[She passed all her medical ninjutsu skills to Shizune, but unfortunately, though Shizune was talented, she lacked the protagonist's halo and was destined not to learn Tsunade's strongest technique, the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

[This also hinted that Tsunade still believed deep down that medical ninjutsu could protect her comrades.]

"Tsunade, your grandfather wasn't a fool to be Hokage."

In the Hokage's office, Hashirama looked at young Tsunade with slight dissatisfaction.

But Tsunade was still angry at him. She only grunted twice and didn't acknowledge him.

Seeing that Tsunade wasn't paying attention to him, Hashirama turned to Tobirama and asked, "Brother, do you think you're an idiot?"

"Can you stop bringing every topic back to me, please?"

Tobirama gave Hashirama an annoyed look. The expression made Madara and Izuna laugh.

Hearing Madara and Izuna laugh at him, Hashirama didn't let them off easily and said, "This is a conversation between Hokages. Can you two understand it?"

"Ah, right, right, right. We're not Hokages, so we can't understand your conversation."

"So, you two aren't even Hokages, and you still have the nerve to laugh?"

At that, Madara and Izuna, who had been laughing happily, instantly stopped laughing.

Izuna: Big Brother, I think he's insulting you~

Madara: Hashirama, don't leave after the video ends. I want to challenge you to a one-on-one!

Hashirama: Allow me to decline. I'm going home to spend time with my wife.

Madara: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
