Tsunade, you are the one person I wouldn't want to kill. Listen to me, if that brat is allowed to live it would mean more trouble than you and your friends could ever imagine. Stay out of my way.
No, you listen to me. If I do nothing else, I will protect this boy.
Ha, and how do you plan to do that? Look at you, your body is shivering like a leaf in the wind. Besides, why would you, one of the Sannin, risk your life to save a lowly genin?
By saving him I'm saving my home, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
You really think you're protecting the village?
You see, this boy, this lowly little genin, has been chosen by fate to be Hokage someday.
What nonsense. Even if it is true, what of it? Who cares about the Hokage? Only a fool would want that job.
[flashes back to what everyone's told her about Hokage] From now on, I'm gambling everything too. I'm putting my life on the line!
