-end, tsunade-
She had always scoffed at the thought of ends (long years of practice had taught her this was the best way of deflecting her fear). Even going into battle against impossible odds, she had always been confident in her strength, assured that no enemy could come close to her. She was strong on the outside, convincing all of her invincibility, while inside she was one step away from her shatterpoint. But this time, it was different. There was nobody by her side as she stood to defend her village. Tsunade had never thought it would end this way.
