Disclaimer: Own nothing.

Last time: Jiraiya leaves to go after the Sound missing-nin. Sasuke and the Oto army leave for the invasion of Konoha. The Sand siblings, on a training journey, turn back for Suna when Gaara has a bad feeling that something is about to happen. Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai, on patrol along the border, catch the first sign of the Oto army and Akamaru goes on ahead to deliver a letter and Naruto, knowing of the invasion, prepares to resurface and help out his former village.

This time: The invasion begins.

Tsunade was fustrated. How could she not be? She had a Sound missing-nin running around saving her shinobi, but refused to actually come Konoha to tell all that he knew. Jiraiya had left the village in order to go and try to find him and either, according to the Toad Hermit, bring him to Konoha or force him into the village, whichever was easier. Ibiki already had a room in ANBU headquarters with the man's name on it. Plus there was the paperwork. How the hell had Sarutobi-sensei managed to slog through this mess and retain his sanity? She was close to using a Katon justu on the huge mound of papers clogging her in-tray.

Just as the Hokage reached for another mission report, something shot through her open window in a blur of white fur and wind that sent her, for once neat, desk straight to messy hell again.

"What is going on!?" She bellowed at the massive white mound sitting in the middle of her office.

"Hokage-sama! Are you alright?" her ANBU guards yelled, bursting through double doors so hard that they bounced off the walls. Tsunade, for her part, ignored the guards, focusing instead on the massive dog that sitting in the middle of her office, wagging his tail, evidently very pleased with himself.

"Akamaru?" The village leader asked skeptically. She knew to whom the dog belonged, but Kiba was away with Kurenai and Shino on a mission. The Inuzuka wouldn't have sent his best tool back unless he had a very serious reason. Then the sannin noticed the tiny scroll that the horse-sized dog had in his mouth.

The massive dog approached her and deposited the scroll at her feet. Stooping to retrieve it, she was amazed at how dry the thing was, considering the dog had had it in his mouth. She cracked the scroll's seal, feeling a little concerned. The little paper roll had a priority seal on it. It wasn't in wax, like protocol demanded, but Kurenai had drawn the kanji on the outside of the scroll. Inside was a short, curt, message,

Hokage-sama,

Kiba, Akamaru, scented Otogakure army headed for village. On our way back. Uchiha Sasuke leading army. Please take defensive measures.

Yuuhi Kurenai,

15th border squad leader.

The Hokage felt the blood drain from her face as she finished reading the short message. The ANBU weren't the elite of Konoha for nothing, and quickly noticed her pallor.

"Hokage…sama?" One with a boar mask asked, his hesitance clear in his voice. The pair of special ops shinobi jumped when she suddenly began snapping orders,

"One of you go get the council together for an emergency meeting! The other, gather the jounins and ANBU command staff for a briefing. We have an invasion coming from the border! They'll be here in three days!" As the two masked shinobi poofed out to perform their assigned tasks, Tsunade prepared herself for the first invasion to happen under her tenure as Hokage. She hoped she would make the right descisons and keep Konoha intact and its casualties to a minimum. Kami-sama knew that she had had a lot of loss in her life, and she didn't want anyone else to suffer as she had.

As she left her office to brief the council and various members of Konoha's military arm, she paused briefly to tell Kotetsu to send a letter to Sunagakure and the Kazekage. They would need reinforcements, no matter how long it took to reach them. Now she had to prepare her village for war.

Northeast of Fire Country, in the country that was almost entirely mountains, Jiraiya the Toad Hermit stopped dead in his tracks. He had been on the trail of the Sound missing-nin since hearing Kakashi's story about meeting the man. Yes, Jiraiya was certain that the missing-nin was male. Maybe he was a little sexist, but somehow the toad user knew the mysterious shinobi to be a man.

And that same questionable instinct had been screaming at him that he was close to another breakthrough. Either that or that sushi he'd had yesterday was acting up. Jiraiya shrugged and continued on his way, not even bothering to glance up. If he had, he would have seen a cloaked man standing upside-down on the rock that jutted out over the pass the old man was currently strolling through. He wouldn't find out until later, but he'd just been closer to Naruto than anyone from Konohagakure had been for the last five years.

'Missed you chance, Kit,' came the voice of his literal inner demon. 'You could've told the toad pervert what the hell is going on.' Naruto sighed at the fox's insistence that he talk to the man he regarded as his grandfather.

'Wow, I thought you were a smart demon. I'm a missing-nin dumbass,' he replied, still watching Ero-sennin walk away, completely unaware of his close proximity of his former student. Though it had been a near miss. If Kyuubi hadn't scented him as Naruto was running along the pass, the two would have butted heads in a very literal way.

'What does the missing-nin stuff have to do with anything?' the fox returned shortly. 'You know that the old man wouldn't give a damn.' The demon lord just sighed when Naruto didn't respond; instead just dropping from the ledge he had been standing on (under?) to continue the trek to Konoha. The fox, however, wouldn't be denied,

'He's heading away from that damn village. You really going to let one of the strongest shinobi in the place just walk away? Especially with the Uchiha bastard being as strong as he is?' That froze Naruto cold. He hadn't thought of that. Kyuubi snorted. Nice to know the kid had kept at least a little of his stupidity. Made the fox demon look better.

"What do we do?" he asked out loud. He felt a shift in the youki within him, Kyuubi's version of a shrug.

'Tell him,' the fox suggested, plowing ahead before Naruto could protest, 'You don't have to show him your face!' Naruto grinned with his shit-eating fox grin, something he hadn't done for almost three years, not since that time the duo had taken a day off to play pranks on a pompous minor lord in a small village in north Wind Country.

Jiraiya hummed placidly as he walked along the narrow mountain pass on his way to the place where Kakashi had encountered the missing-nin. To do that he had to cut through Mountain Country and that was always a pain in the ass. Especially at his age. Old men were meant to take it easy, writing books! Not go tramping around half the continent looking for someone that… His mental rant was cut short by the sound of shifting around behind him. The white-haired sannin whirled to confront the noise. There was no one behind him. The left and right were clear. So that left…ABOVE! Jiraiya's head snapped up and saw him. Crouching on the top of the pass wall above the old ninja, his cloak flaring across his body in the wind, was the Sound missing-nin.

"This is a most grave situation, Tsunade-sama," said one of the old council members. Tsunade hated dealing with the old farts. They were always, with the exception of two of Sarutobi-sensei's closer aids, trying to undermine her in attempt after attempt to further their own ends. Especially that bastard who commanded ROOT.

"We must come up with a plan to counter the attack," agreed another. "I'm sure Uchiha-san is just misguided." Tsunade cut the old man off with a snort. Uchiha misguided? Yeah right. He had accepted the Curse Seal without hesitation and had put his fist through Naruto's lung not too long after. Misguided her ass. The council, desperate to have one of their most potent kekkei genkai back in Konoha, had even decided to label him a C-class missing nin with a no hostilities order.

Tsunade knew that the traitor wouldn't hesitate to kill the shinobi sent after him, so she had added a provision to the order that the ANBU could kill Sasuke if the situation warranted such a measure. By contrast, her adoptive little brother had been slapped with an S designation and was to be killed on sight. The Fire Shadow hadn't wanted that to happen, but even the Hokage was only allowed to force a missing-nin declaration down one class, so she had labeled him A-rank and put a no hostilities order on the declaration to boot.

"What we need to do," the Slug Princess cut in, her tone telling everyone to just shut up and let her speak, "is set up a defensive line around Konoha. Then we evacuate all civilians, non-essential personnel and genin and academy students into the shelters."

"Tsunade-sama," Hyuuga Hiashi said with his usual holier-than-thou attitude. "Are you sure that is the right course of action?" The Hokage nodded, knowing that they would have to meet the assault right at Konoha's gates. A potentially fatal error, allowing the enemy to get that close to the village gates, but they had no choice because there was just no time.

Sasuke had done a good job of keeping his army hidden. A day had passed since Akamaru delivered Kurenai's message, but none of the ANBU patrols had seen the Oto horde. Still, Tsunade knew that they were out there, and that was all she needed to know. Hiashi returned the nod, confident that his clan would perform splendidly in the defense of their village.

"We don't have much choice," agreed Kakashi, nodding. The jounin had shocked everyone by showing up early for once.

"My Eternal Rival is correct!" Maito Gai's voice blared at top volume as usual. "We will show these riffraff what the Fire of Youth is all about!"

"YOSH! Gai-sensei is correct! We cannot turn away, just because the fools want to meet Shinigami before their youth has run its course!" shouted the jounin's clone, Rock Lee. The young man was there because he was a Special Jounin, due to his inability to use chakra.

"Lee!" Gai cried, tears flooding down his cheeks as he enveloped his apprentice in a hug.

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sensei"

"Lee!"

"Gai-sen…" Lee was cut off by an orange book entitled 'Icha Icha Paradise' smacked the exuberant special jounin in the back of the head.

"If we could get back on topic," Kakashi hinted pointedly as his hand returned to his pocket. "Our time before Sasuke and Otogakure get here is running out, even now. The less time we spend on needless talking and," here he glared at the council, "political posturing, the better." Everyone present nodded and plans for the defense of Konohagakure continued to be made at a much speedier pace.

Back in Mountain Country, Jiraiya and the Sound missing-nin hurtled side by side down the pass, both on their way to Konoha to help out in the impending assault.

"Why did you go out of your way to find me?" Jiraiya asked, as the two began to descend the foothills and out onto the rolling slopes that led to the forests of Fire Country. Even now, the forest was visible in the distance as a wide dark blur that stretched for miles. The missing-nin didn't even look at him as the pair hurtled toward the village.

"My conscience wouldn't leave me the hell alone," he replied simply. The man had begun to talk more and more as the two shinobi got used to each other's presence. The Sound traitor winced as though something inside him hurt.

"You OK?" the sannin asked, noticing the younger man's twitch. The hooded ninja just nodded. He was trying to ignore the demon that kept telling him 'I told you so' over and over and over again.

Naruto couldn't believe that he had decided to go with Kyuubi's harebrained scheme.

'Who're you calling harebrained, Kit,' the fox grumbled. But the scam had worked! They had managed to get Ero-sennin to turn his old ass around and get moving back to Konoha. Now all the two shinobi had to do was get back to the village before Sasuke was able to overrun them. After that, who knew? Maybe if Naruto fought well enough, Baa-chan would let him be a Konoha-nin again.

'You honestly think that the big chested woman will refuse to let you back into that damn village?' the Kyuubi snorted derisively. Sometimes, his cage could worry about the stupidest things. 'She would probably keep you tied up to make sure you didn't leave again!' Naruto felt oddly comforted by the giant demon's words. Yeah, maybe Granny Tsunade would keep him around! If not, well, maybe Gaara was hiring.

Speaking of Gaara, the insomniac Kazekage had made it back to Suna and was pacing in his office, still trying to shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Hey, uh, Gaara?" Kankuro asked nervously. Gaara had sent more than one aide out the door on a tsunami of sand in recent weeks. Now no one approached the Kazekage office except for Temari, Kankuro, and Baki. "Are you sure that something's going to happen." He paled visibly at Gaara's annoyed, icy teal gaze. He had to look at his feet. How could he not? He'd spent most of his childhood fearing that look.

"Don't you think that you're over reacting?" Temari picked up quickly. "You won't eat and you quit sleeping again." Gaara had finally managed to get to sleep now that Shukaku was gone from his body, but when he got nervous, he reverted to old habits and turned into an insomniac again. Temari's question was answered for her when Baki hurtled through the door waving a scroll with the symbol for fire written on it.

"Kazekage-sama!" their former jounin instructor cried, clearly panicked. "Konohagakure is being invaded by the Sound! The Hokage is requesting reinforcements!" That set all the Sand shinobi in the room on edge. Konoha was powerful. Not many people could work up the sheer balls it took to declare war on that village. That the Sound would try again after being defeated last time was almost inconceivable. "What do we do, Kazekage-sama?" Baki questioned. Gaara stared out the windows that gave a panoramic view of the Village Hidden in the Sand. Finally he responded,

"It appears that Kankuro, Temari and I will get that training journey after all," the former Jinchuuriki stated softly.

"Kazekage-sama!" the three jounin in the room exclaimed together.

"Surely you are not serious!" Baki cried, the half of his face not hidden by that annoying veil stricken with shock. "Only you three are going to go and reinforce the Leaf!? As powerful as all of you are, this is suicide!"

"I am technically still on leave," Gaara stated, his voice cold. "We will conduct our training. It matters not to me if it is against each other or on the Oto weaklings. We leave in two hours." The Godaime's voice left no room for argument. They would go. Sound-nins would die, blown away, sliced into bits and crushed beneath a giant coffin of sand. Finally, Temari and Kankuro smirked and nodded their agreement. Nothing like getting to spend a little quality time with each other and get to help out friends in the process.

The invasion had begun. Sort of. Right now it was more of a stand-off. The Sound army was arrayed all in one area outside the securely closed South Gate. The very gate that had started this whole mess. The entire village's army was arrayed on the wall, shuriken, kunai and various jutsu at the ready. If the army made one step into their range, the defenders would cut loose and decimate the numbers of the besieging army. One shinobi, with a black flak vest, stepped into range, confident, totally sure that the forces of Konoha wouldn't cut him down where he stood. Sakura's eyes widened when she saw who the confident (or perhaps just plain stupid) Oto nin was. She recognized him,

"Sasuke-kun," she whispered, her green eyes going wide. Next to her, Kakashi heard her whisper his former student's name and whipped up his up his hirai-ate to bear Obito's Sharingan to the air. Sure enough, it was Sasuke. This just went from bad to worse, by attacking Konoha, not even the foolhardy council would be able to ignore this. Sasuke had no chance of returning to the village now.

"Weaklings of Konohagakure no Sato!" Sasuke yelled loud enough for all the people on the wall to hear. "Where is the Hokage? I challenge her to a one-on-one duel to the death!" A ripple passed through the crowd at the Otokage's words.

"Sakura," Kakashi said in a low voice. Sasuke was sure to have his Sharingan activated and his mask would hide his mouth. When he saw he had the other jounin's attention, he continued, "go get Tsunade-sama. Tell her the situation and get her down here."

"But Kakashi-sensei-" she started, but the older shinobi cut her off.

"No. Get her down here. We don't have time. They outnumber us. Even if we bring the genin in they will overwhelm us," he said sternly. Another familiar voice spoke up now,

"Sakura-san, please do as Kakashi-san says." Sakura whirled to confront the man who had spoken, only to see,

"Iruka-sensei!"

The scarred chuunin schoolteacher smiled then continued,

"Sakura, you need to go get Tsunade-sama. Before Sasuke's patience runs out." Sakura felt horrible. She was to get her master, so she could kill the boy she had a crush on? Tears began to well up in her emerald eyes. This wasn't fair.

"Well?!" Sasuke yelled, "I'm waiting! Or is your 'great leader' too scared to show her face!" The great Sound horde laughed at their leader's remarks.

"You are too damn impatient! That's what happens when a spoiled whiny brat gets pumped up on power!" The Konoha shinobi parted to reveal Tsunade herself, who promptly strode up the part in her men. With her was a pretty blonde with a fall of hair covering one eye.

"Ino!?" Sakura shrieked, "But why?"

"Because you wouldn't do anything Forehead," came the other kunoichi's response, biting as ever. "Are you telling me that you would risk Konoha's destruction because you wouldn't get your teacher?" her tone was accusing.

"Sakura," now Tsunade spoke, and she didn't sound happy. "We will discuss your actions later. But for now, I have a pampered brat to put into his place." With that, she shed her green overcoat, tossed it to Ino and jumped over the edge of the wall to land in front of the Oto's leader. She straightened up and glared at the traitor.

"I will only tell you this once, Uchiha," the Slug sannin threatened. "Turn your little army around and go home so I won't have to kill you all." Sasuke just smirked,

"Now why would I do that when I'm about to end your life?" he asked, that dumb, cocky little smirk still plastered on his face.

"End my life? You think you can kill me, Uchiha Sasuke?" the Hokage asked. The younger shinobi just smiled. Tsunade knew this was it. She would end the Sound threat to Konoha forever right here and now. She only hoped that Sakura and Naruto could someday forgive her for what she was about to do now. She was going to kill Uchiha Sasuke!

Sasuke was confident. The bitch had shown herself! As he knew she would. Those who had friends were always so predictable. And weak. The power he had gained over the last few years from Orochimaru would be the key to beating this old hag and destroying Konoha forever!

The opposing forces held their collective breath as the two powerful warriors began to circle. The opening blows were just moments away. Sakura felt like she was going to cry. Her crush and master were going to engage in life or death combat and there was not a damn thing she could do!

Ino watched her friend as she came close to tears. The chuunin wanted to comfort her, but knew that Sakura had to see this. This was the only way to show Sakura that Sasuke was no longer coming back to Konoha. He was an enemy now. Yamanaka was glad that their Hokage had the good sense to realize that.

Kakashi was watching everything with his implanted eye. The movements Sasuke made were foreign to him. He had quit using the techniques the Copy-Nin had taught him, with the exception of Chidori. Hatake just knew his traitorous student would never quit using that justu. For an instant he wished that he had never developed that assassination technique.

Tsunade, for her part, was watching Sasuke's feet. It wouldn't do her good to get caught in a Sharingan-induced illusion. Similarly, the genjutsu she could use were useless. Uchiha's bloodline would shatter it in the blink of an eye. Gai had told her that the way to fight a Sharingan-user was to watch their feet. Seeing as he'd fought Itachi that way, she figured it would work against Sasuke. His left foot shifted and the two sprinted at each other, their fists meeting in a thunderous crash. The combatants slid apart again and Tsunade knew she was in for one hell of a battle.

Sasuke scowled in anger, his Sharingan blazing with fury. The damn bitch wouldn't look him in the eye! He figured he would just have to wear the hag out. She was old, no matter how you looked at it, close to sixty now. This would be over shortly. Then the Leaf would burn!

The two armies looked on with awe. The two battling shinobi weren't giving each other any ground. Neither had managed to land a single hit. Tsunade jumped into the air and unleashed a massive axe kick that put a crater right where the Uchiha had been an instant earlier.

'Fast,' Tsunade observed, even as she dodged a tagged kunai, which detonated behind her. 'His attacks are sort of sloppy though. He's not used to fighting with taijutsu. With his Sharingan, though, it doesn't really matter.' Her fist collided with the wall of Konoha, she'd had the Uchiha against the wall a moment earlier, the impact sending a giant fissure up the wall and causing some Leaf-nins up top to nearly fall over. 'But I will kill him!' Maybe Tsunade's determination to kill Sasuke paid off because she caught his next attack, a kick, and threw him through the air.

Sasuke's thoughts were jumbled as he tumbled helplessly end over end. How could this happen? He was faster, stronger, younger. How had she managed to catch and throw him? For all his perceived brilliance, Sasuke had overlooked one important fact. Experience. Tsunade just had more experience that the traitor. He could figure out one strategy or another, but chances were the Godaime Hokage had already seen it a couple times. Uchiha managed to stop his ceaseless tumbling and righted him self. Reaching into his holsters, he pulled out six shuriken and some wire. The bitch wanted to play rough? Fine by him, he could play rough.

The Godaime's eyes widened when the traitor threw shuriken at her. The stars passed her and wound around the tree behind her. The brat smirked and pulled on the near invisible wires in his hands. Next moment, she was bound to the tree with a jaw- rattling crash. Sasuke landed away from her, a victorious smirk on his face. She couldn't escape. Not without being cut to pieces by the wire. Sasuke made some seals and raised the wire to his lips,

"Katon: Ryuuka no Justu!" The river of fire poured down the wire and slammed into the Hokage with full force. Sasuke had put so much chakra into the technique that the tree exploded instead of catching on fire. When the smoke and flame died out, there, burning on the ground, was Tsunade's corpse.

A shocked silence fell across the witnesses to the clash of titans, then the Sound burst out into unholy cheers and jeers. The Leaf, on the other hand were shocked beyond words. Their great leader had been struck down by a lousy traitor!

"N-n-no! NO!!" Sakura yelled. There was not a chance in hell that Sasuke could have beaten her master! NO CHANCE! "TSUNADE-SAMA!!" A comforting hand on her shoulder made her turn tear-streaked eyes on the hands owner. Kakashi was watching her with an annoying calm look in his eyes.

"Sakura," he said softly, understanding her grief, but knowing there was nothing he could do to help. "It's over. Sasuke won."

"NO! No. You're wrong. WRONG!" She shouted. A mocking voice cut her off,

"What's the matter, Sakura?" Sasuke jeered, "Can't stand the sight of your precious master beaten? Don't worry, you will all join her soon." He held up a kunai that glinted ominously in the bright sunlight, "I'll butcher this village." The Sound sent up a great cheer at his words and Sakura sank to the ground, holding herself and sobbing uncontrollably. This wasn't happening, she tried to convince herself, it couldn't be possible. Tsunade struck down by the man she loved? No, it couldn't be real. It just couldn't.

Kabuto was stunned. The arrogant bastard had actually done it! He'd killed a sannin! Kabuto's plans to take over Otogakure evaporated before his eyes. Uchiha's position in Oto would be forever cemented by this development. The masses would revolt if Kabuto killed the Oto leader now! He would be stuck serving a puffed up pretty-boy for the rest of his life!

"Doton: Shinjuu Zanshuu no Jutsu!"

The earth right underneath Sasuke exploded and a fist shot out to nail the Leaf traitor right in the jaw, sending him flying into the ground in a massive explosion of dust, dirt, and rock. All the spectators to the match of the century watched in shocked awe as Tsunade wrenched herself free of the hole she had dug to escape the Sofuushasen no Tachi. Now it was the Leaf's turn to erupt into cheers as their Godaime Hokage stood tall and brushed herself off.

Sasuke stood as well, wiping blood from his throbbing jaw and chin as soon as he was on his feet. He glared at the old hag across from him. He had missed the switch,

"How!?" He demanded. The Fifth smiled nastily,

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," she replied with a smirk. "Fun little jutsu isn't it? Too bad I'm not as good as Naruto was with it." Now Sasuke was pissed off. The old hag thought she was something special? He'd show her what power really was.

Purple chakra began to swirl around him as angry, glowing, flame-like marks began to crawl over his body. Tsunade's eyes widened as she recognized the first level of the Cursed Seal of Heaven crawling across the man's body.

'This is bad!' she thought, knowing the full weight of the situation, 'If he uses the second level I'm done for! I can handle the first level, but he's gonna be a tough one.'

"Fine. You want to quit playing around?" the Godaime challenged, "Okay, we can do that!" She made a cross shaped seal, "Kage Bunshin no Justu!" Seven Tsunades appeared in a puff on ninja smoke where there had been one.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the change in the battle. Even if the bunshins only had half of the real Godaime's inhuman strength, they would still hurt him if the blows landed. Now his Sharingan wouldn't be able to tell which one was real either. Oh, well. Just had to do it the old fashioned way. His hands flew together making a familiar set of seals that had been taught to him by a shinobi from this very dump.

Kakashi bowed his head when he saw the seals. So the traitor was going to finish the battle with the jutsu he didn't deserve to wield. He really wanted for someone, preferably the two students he had neglected, to hit him with Sennen Goroshi for being so stupid.

Sasuke felt the chakra buzz to life in his hands. He loved this jutsu. So many uses. The familiar chirping noise let him know the technique was ready. An instant later, and he was in his second level, the Chidori turning black. He blurred out of sight and struck down six Hokages before anyone, Tsunade included, had a chance to react. Now there was only one left. A quick roundhouse sent her flying and he was standing over her, Chidori begging to run her through.

Tsunade had been shocked by the Uchiha's sudden speed. One moment he'd been there in his monstrous second form, then the next he'd destroyed all her shadow clones. Now he'd found the real her and had her right in the place where he could kill her. She was too old, too damn slow! Had Tsunade been just a couple of years younger, she could have avoided it. The world seemed to slow down as the Chidori dropped toward her vitals. This was it. No chance to escape! Tsunade the Slug Princess was going to die. For everyone, time stood still.

A blur shot into her vision and kicked the Uchiha away. Tsunade had barely registered the black cloak before she found herself staring at the hood. A hood with a slashed Sound hirai-ate plate on it. What really shocked the hell out of Tsunade, though, were the Sound missing-nin's first words to her,

"Are you okay, Baa-chan?"

And CLIFFHANGER! Aren't I evil? Shocked that Naruto joined the Sound? Wondering how Sasuke was able to enter Cursed Seal Level Two so fast? Fear not, everything shall be explained in due time. Read and review, and thank you once again for all who have done so.

Jutsu Glossary:

Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Style, Dragon Fire Technique). The user breaths fire down some type of medium. Usually thread or wire. Used by Sasuke as a follow up to the Triple Windmill.

Doton: Shinjuu Zanshuu no Jutsu (Earth Style, Inner Decapitation Technique). Usually a capture jutsu whereby the user digs a hole and tunnels over to the victim, then proceeds to grab a leg and pulls the victim down into the earth up to their neck, immobilizing them and leaving the recipient of the jutsu wide open to follow-up attack. Tsunade modified the jutsu to allow her to attack Sasuke instead of capturing.

Sofuushasen no Tachi (Sharingan-controlled Triple Windmill). Only usable by the Uchiha clan or someone with a Sharingan. The user throws many shuriken or kunai or a mix of both, connected to wires. All routes of escape are predicted and cut off by use of Sharingan then the victim is bound to something like a rock, or in this case, a tree. Then followed up by a stronger jutsu, typically Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique). Do I really need to explain this one? Well, for all of you new to the world of Naruto, this like the standard clone technique except that they are true beings with half of their creator's strength and are capable of attacking, unlike the standard clone that is a mere illusion. Supposedly labled a Kinjutsu, but everyone and their brother seems to know this one. The manga or show never really confirms (to my knowledge) that Tsunade could use this technique but, being a Sannin, I figured that it is highly probable that she does.
