Tsunade quotes from Naruto: Shippūden

Tsunade

Look, if I endanger the Leaf or the Land of Fire, then I swear as the Fifth Hokage, I will protect them with all my might and if need be, my very own life.

Tsunade

[Thinking about Dan and Nawaki] Some deaths may be harder to accept than others. But unless you can get past that, there's no future.

Tsunade

He's not coming back. That's what I bet him before he left because he knows I never win any of my bets.

Tsunade

[To her advisors] Jiraiya, Lady Chiyo, and Sarutobi sensei, they had what you lack: the power to believe!

Tsunade

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction isn't it? I never imagined Orochimaru would die. Remember how the three of us would go up against the Third Hokage?

Jiraiya

And now flat as a board Tsunade has become the big bosomed Hokage. Ah, times have changed and always will. You were so beautiful back then and now you're a 50 something granny. But it does pain me to see how you hold the memories of your lost friends and loved ones inside that ample bosom of yours. As you know the numbers will continue to rise. Well then we'll just have to keep our emotions in check. The job that we must give to ourselves now is to set examples and help the next generation, Tsunade. To achieve that I'd gladly risk my life. Wisdom is the one thing that makes growing old worth it.

Tsunade

The Akatsuki, if its leader is in control of such a powerful group then how strong is he, I wonder? Jiraiya, this mission of yours will take you right into the lion's den.

Jiraiya

Well then I think I better get going.

Tsunade

Please come back alive Jiraiya. If I were to lose you too, then I... I don't know.

Jiraiya

Are you saying you'd cry for me? I'm glad to hear it. But I doubt it'll be like the time that Dan died, right?

Tsunade

You idiot!

Jiraiya

Say how about you make a bet with me? You gamble everything on me dying. After all Tsunade, you always lose your bets, isn't that right? Promise me if I actually do manage to make it back alive... [acts like he's about to confess his feelings] I'm only kidding Tsunade! You know I'm grateful to you. Rejection makes a man stronger. I believe that you can't call yourself a real man unless you can laugh off all the bad stuff that happens to you, or at least use it as writing material.

Tsunade

So a man's only job is to be strong?

Jiraiya

Kind of but that isn't the entire story. Basically the pursuit of happiness isn't for us.

Tsunade

Stop trying to act cool. If there weren't any women around, there would be no rejection either.

Tsunade

Minato Namikaze. Naruto's just like him.

Jiraiya

Minato was a once in a generation genius. There won't be another like him ever. He was kind and gentle, yet fierce and full of grit. He became our fourth Hokage in the blink of an eye. Now I've never been a parent before, so I don't know all that much about these kinds of things. But if he'd been my son, I'd be very proud.

Tsunade

Now that you mention it Naruto may not be like him after all. He's not the kind of child you boast about. He's the kind whose mischief you'd try to cover up. No I would say Naruto is more like his mother was.

Jiraiya

Wasn't she a kunoichi from the Land of Eddies?

Tsunade

That's right. His personality is exactly like Kushina Uzumaki's.

Jiraiya

That's right, I had forgotten her name! She was a chatty red haired little rascal, and she was quite a tomboy as I remember.

Tsunade

She was that, but she grew up to be a real beauty. But Naruto does look a lot like his father.

Jiraiya

Yeah when I look at Naruto I see a lot of his father. Although to me it feels as though I'm looking at my very own grandson.

Tsunade

Wait, you're that child aren't you? That boy from long ago.

Pain

So you do remember me then.

You know him?

Tsunade

Yes I do.

Who or what is he?

Pain

A god who restores order.

Pain

However all is meaningless before overwhelming power. You great nations proved that over the years. You all think of yourselves as the main forces of this world and push death out of your thoughts. Lulled by peace, you become shallow. If you kill you shall be killed. Hatred is what connects this cause and effect.

Tsunade

Quit babbling such nonsense.

Pain

In battle both sides suffer death, injury, and pain.

Tsunade

We great nations have suffered our share of pain. Enough excuses, you can't justify your actions!

Pain

How absurd. [kills Shizune]

Ino

Lady Shizune!

Pain

Feel pain. Contemplate pain. Accept pain. Know pain.
