Sakumo hatake choose his friends over the success of the mission and that is why he was shunned and dishonored. I believe leaf Shinobi had already died on the mission so people looked at it like so what if you saved some of your friends when others fought and gave their life for the mission, there by failing the mission meant their sacrifice was meaningless.

[@goranstojanov1160]

No the thing is the mission was a sensitive one and i think included crucial intel.By Sakumo choosing to save his friends instead of giving his all to finihs the mission caused alot of damage to the Konoha probably in many ways militarily,economicaly and los of reputation/loss of face.Thats why he was shunned bcs by that mission failing Konoha sustained a hit.

Tsunade is such a grand character all things considered. She was the Naruto of her time. Her generation heralded a change of time. Aside from fighting, all Sannin members developed a unique speciality (espionage and talent scouting for Jiraiya and scientific experiment for Orochimaru). But among all legends, hers was the most dazzling. Primarily a combatant, she was the only one visionary and adaptive enough to take on the era-defining role of a medical specialist. And she revolutionized it, epitomizing what her clan symbolizes. And nope, she did NOT just heal. According to Jiraiya, the woman fought and healed and her skills in both domains are unchallenged. Her accomplishment was so profound that (unlike her peers) most fans cannot fathom the concept of being so potent both in fighting and healing despite the notion being carved in monologues, dialogues and databooks. Tsuna's the fucking goat.

I've quite literally never seen someone say so many positive things about Tsunade, in total, much less all at once. Love to see it. A lot of the ladies in this series get absolutely dogged on, only a couple of them deservedly.

[@cratwinterz200]

Here’s my own theory on Hatake‘s failed mission. Hatake’s failed mission was the one that started the 3rd Ninja War. The way I have this going is that his squad was deployed as a counter force against an Iwa/Kiri attack on Uzushirogakure (which we know was still around in Kushina’s lifetime). He failed due to not knowing the other nation (Kiri/Iwa) was also attacking thus being underprepared. This would also explain why Nagato claimed Konoha started the war. Konoha would’ve started it in response to the attack, and utter annihilation of their closest ally. The White Fang didn’t fail a mission. He failed THE mission.

[@rizefamilz2563]

Not sure if it's canon or not but in the anime it was stated Danzō and ROOT spearheaded the war by disguising root members as iwa-nin and framing them to start the war with Konoha

[@cratwinterz200]

@@rizefamilz2563 Admittedly it’s been a while. But I thought it was that Danzo was perpetuating the war rather than starting it. Also, as I mentioned it’s stated Konoha started the war by Nagato. I can understand why it would seem that way if Konoha were to retaliate for a minor village, why would Konoha have started it if the outside perspective is an attack from Iwa? I’m fairly certain the reason the war started is unknown.

[@TheMostHated1]

This is facts

[@OveranalyzingNaruto]

With how big of a roll Tsunade played in the 2nd war, I'm surprised commoners around the Leaf aren't in awe when she arrives to be Hokage. She should have an entire section in the history book dedicated to her after all. And by the time she steps down from Hokage, she hands down has one of the best feat profiles around.

[@7753558]

I feel like most people wanted jiraiya to be hokage and tsunade didn’t want the position at all and didn’t really care about the village to the point where she was gonna fix orochimarus arms for her own selfish reason The only reason she became hokage was because naruto reminded her about her dead brother I’m surprised that anyone outside of jiraiya wanted her to become hokage

I thought of it as shinobi being military and many normal civilians not knowing who they are, and many of their feats actually being secrets. And so.e things they do suplosedly occur at speeds that are beyond the perception of normal people.

It is truly frustrating that the series has so many plot holes, when you deep dive into it. I stand by it that Kishimoto is a brilliant artist dropping flawless artworks with really difficult perspectives like it's nothing, but when it comes to planning his stories he is truly lackluster.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

His art really isn't much to write home about. Also us not knowing information isn't plot hole.

[@calin2491]

Hanzo probably found a way to use the poison in a similar way to mustard gas. this is actually in keeping with the whole WW1 comparison as the first shinobi war would serve as an impetus for the smaller villages to find some way to mass kill their much more numerous enemies or at least make the losses so great that they would avoid them. it always seemed odd to me that out of a whole platoon only the 3 sannin survived especially when you consider that they had literally the best posible , and only at the time, medical-nin with them. it also plays into the whole fighting strong opponents as if they were already singled out as among the best konoha had, it would provide the motivation to single them out for one-one or one-three fights as all others were immediately disposable and useless in his quest for greater strength.

[@scottjames8973]

If you ever get a chance exploring the battle abilities of Prime Chiyo vs Prime Hiruzen that would be awesome. Danzo could also be a contender.

[@perturbedbatman2009]

Well, Sakumo abandoned a mission to save his friends, who later ostracized him leading to his suicide. It wasn't a mission TO save them, it was something akin to intel gathering, iirc. And Sasori was a child when his parents were killed. He wouldn't leave the Sand until after he had become Sasori of the Red Sand, a title he gained in the Third war.

[@ItzMeZyfer]

[@shadowbladesabre1945]

I'm liking your videos on the war, and how you've added your own elements to it, like Hashirama's death, Hanzo being modified etc. You've placed Sakumo's failed mission here, though my personal headcanon is that Sakumo's failed mission was one of the main contributing factors to the Third War. You've also left out the destruction of Uzushio.

[@faceless8424]

Great video! Didn't Uzushio fall during the 2nd war tho? Most of the fandom believes it happened somewhere near the end. Kiri, Kumo and other villages could've made a move against Uzushio while Konoha was distracted by the other nations. This would make sense when we consider how overpowered Konoha already was, their alliance with Uzushio made them even more threatening and Kiri notably didn't take part in the 2nd war so they were at full military strength.

They have jutsu and elements Neji had a 4 out of 5 in dbooks. In ninjutsu which was better than sasukes skill till itachi died. Neji also had 3 elements. Fire earth and water. Hyuga a r e exceptionally fast I'd imagine some use weight training like guy. There eyes could protect and watch lrg swaths of a village... There's alot of underused aspects that that clan could have excelled in So totaly agree.

Question! when in the timeline did Jiraiya meet Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko? the wiki seems to think that the Akatsuki didn't even exist until the out break of the third Shinobi world war.

My theory: The Sannin were there on each front for a reason. Tsunade was to counter Granny Chiyo. Orochimaru was ostensibly leading the fight against the stone. And Jiraiya was on the rain raising the Ame Orphans and watching for any sneaky backdoor shenanigans. The fact that each was either a personal mission or vendetta wrapped in official orders is what ties it all together, allowing each to develop as a person while bolatering the new titles bestowed by Hanzo

Here's the thing.....there was no guarantee that Jiraya had sage mode yet. Much like Naruto there is a chance they first taught him how to summon him before he eventually went back to learn sage mode later....so, might not have sage mode yet. And even if he did he would need enough chakra to summon ma and pa to even be able to go into sage mode.

If tsunade had 100 healings why couldn’t she save Dan? Can’t she heal other people too? Or did she not have it then?

[@stickyricecake597]

I haven't seen the diamond shaped mark on her forehead in flashbacks so I believe she was yet to develop the Jutsu.
