How Tsunade meets Shizune
Years later she came across a women who was trying to stand up against a drunken old man, who also happened to be the unfortunate women's husband, who her parents had sold her off to for cash.
The womens name was Shizune. Tsunade beat up the old man and tried to console the Shizune. After calming her down somewhat Shizune told her what happened.
Her family had always been poor. So at the age of 16 they had sold her off to the highest bidder, who would become her husband. Of course she had never given her consent nor did her parents ask for it. The man looked well enough but he turned out to have lost his job only a few months after she had married him.
With the money he had left and him doing odd jobs they had managed so far. However he was an alcoholic and very abusive to her. Not wanting any children to have to suffer the same fate as her, if not worse, she had made sure to take a day after pill as soon as he had pretty much raped her. Finally having enough of him, she yelled back after his latest abuse attack. She had run to the police/guards/ninja (you get the point) station and told them about her abusive husband. But they had just ignored her and turned their backs when her husband had come and dragged her back 'home' to 'teach her a lesson'.
This pissed off Tsunade to the extreme! Grabbing Shizune, careful of her bruises, and the unconscious 'husband' by the hair, she marched off towards the leader of the town. When she got there the guards tried to stop her but she just knocked them out of the way. She then kicked down the door to where a startled man and his secretary sat. "Excuse me, esteemed leader of the Panther (the village's name), this women her wants a divorce from this man. Now!"
"What?!"
"You heard me! I don't know what kind of town your running her buddy, but I for one will not pass through and be expected to close my eyes at the injustice here!"
"Now see here! I don't know who you are women or who you belong to but I suggest you leave while your able! My town is plenty justified!"
"I DO NOT BELONG TO ANYBODY!! I am a free women and will do as I please! I am a Hidden-nin! I travel and correct injustice for those who aren't justified! And this women is anything but free. Just look at her! Look at all her bruises. What kind of town are running? One that obviously is mistreating its women!" She grabbed the man's collar and started shaking him. "Sign the God Damned papers or I'll personally send you to hell myself!"
The man quickly wrote up the papers and had the guards take the old man to jail. He bowed to Tsunade. "Yes you are right. Next time you come to this village there will be justice. I won't turn a blind eye on my people any longer, ANY of my people." The man had been inspired by her spirit. He saw that women were not to be played around with nor to be treated as they were. Don't ask anyone how this miraculous change came over the man, Tsunade herself doesn't know.
After gathering supplies, Tsunade walked to the edge of town. Just about to leave she heard Shizune call her name. Shizune got down on her knees and bowed. "Please Tsunade-sama, please take me with you and make me your apprentice. I promise to to work hard and earn my keep. I want to grow strong and become a free woman like you." Tsunade smiled at the girl. "Of course, only don't call me -sama. It makes me fell old. I'll be your onee-chan, ne?"
The two laughed and walked out of the village. And when ever they came back they saw it had turned into a much happier community that treated everyone fairly.
And thats how Tsunade had found Shizune, her wonderful apprentice and younger sister.
