Character Analysis
Princess Tsunade
“The Sucker”
The 5th Hokage also known as Godaime is a member of the legendary Sennin a
group of three Ninjas who come from Konoha village and were made famous by
their strength and abilities with Jutsu’s.
Tsunade’s power in this group stems for her love and abilities with
medicine, and her ability to intensely focus her charka to use it as a
healing agent. This requires intense control of a limited amount of small
amount of charka. This ability to use it this way is also another source of
power for Tsunade because she uses it to give her-self amazing strength,
able to bust rocks with a single blow and even create craters in the ground.
Among some of her fighting abilities are, Electricity charka, a massive
release of charka changed into electricity and sent into the opponent’s
nervous system. This leaves all the body’s signals confused and the enemy
unable to move. Tsunade’s ultimate technique which she developed later is
The seal release, where charka is gathered in the seal on her forehead and
when released stimulates the production of various enzymes that accelerate
cell production throughout the body, enabling her to heal her body from
major wounds and massive blood loss, But a major side effect is that she can
only use this a limited number of times and each time it shortens her life
span. The one technique each Sennin had in common was the Kuchiyose No
Jutsu, the ability to summon a creature dependant on the strength of the
contract and the users needs. This contract is signed in blood upon each
summoning which can be used on a scroll or a tattoo. Tsunade’s creature is a
slug named Katsuya.
Tsunade like many of the characters from Naruto had a painful past,
which greatly shaped who she is now. She was the granddaughter of the first
Hokage, and growing up in Konoha had a little brother who she loved a lot.
But when he died at a young age in battle she was traumatized but used this
as a reason to make herself an even greater healer, enforcing rules that say
each four man ninja team would have a medic when on missions greatly
improving the life expectancy of the injured and creating odorless and
tasteless poisons and counter poisons to be used against her enemies. But
later with the death of the man she loved Dan, she was unable to cope with
the loss of life any longer and developed a severe aversion to any blood.
Until she meets Naruto who inspires her again, and reminds her that of all
the people she ever loved in her life all they wanted to do was protect the
hidden leaf village and its people.
