Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Tsunade
Naruto's Mom
Tsunade didn't have a chapter in the original Naruto Primer because, simply, we skipped all those chapters in the manga that concerned Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya and their little adventures…so we didn't really know who she was or what she was all about. Now that we have successfully skimmed those chapters and seen pictures of her hanging around, we can finally write a chapter about her.
Now, by the title of this chapter, you may have said, "WHAT? Naruto's MOM? Tsunade isn't Naruto's MOM!"
Well, you're wrong. SHE IS!!
Just kidding. She's not. And we won't even try to convince you that she is.
In reality, her little brother is actually Naruto's Mom.
When we skimmed the chapters the first time around, looking for someone cool but only being disappointed to see Tsunade and all of her compadres. We did happen to see this crazy grinning child that looked exactly like Naruto and was constantly haunting Tsunade's dreams. At the time, we did not know that this child was Tsunade's brother. So we assumed it was a flashback that Tsunade was having of her childhood when she knew Naruto's Mom. We figured that she knew Naruto's Mom and every time she looked at Naruto, she would be reminded of his mom.
Yes, this was a pretty…well…pretty stupid conclusion. But it made sense to us at the time. Especially when we had the revelation that this Naruto's Mom character was really THE FOURTH HOKAGE!!!
Boy, did we feel smart when we figured that it was the Fourth Hokage and not Naruto's Mom and that Tsunade was having flashbacks of the Fourth Hokage when he was a child. We were all that and a bag of chips for a period of about two weeks.
Then, one day, we read the skimmed the chapters a little more carefully. How stupid did WE feel to find that the Fourth Hokage/ Naruto's Mom was actually Tsunade's little brother.
So, after sulking and not coming out of our rooms for a few days, we finally got over it. Sure, we had been calling a little boy Naruto's Mom for a little while and then the Fourth Hokage, but who was going to know?
Well…everyone now I guess.
We know we haven't given you life lessons in a very long time… so we're going to give you one now; "Don't judge a book by its cover." I know we've already given this lesson but whatever! Just because someone LOOKS like Naruto's Mom, doesn't mean that he is so you can't go around assuming that this crazy person is Naruto's Mom.
