Wizened
Wizened. Oh, how Tsunade hated the word. It was everything she loved about herself, and everything she despised.
It brought to the mind ideas of wisdom, of the words spoken to the young by the old. She liked to think that that was what she was, a wise lady with and indispensable wealth of knowledge for the coming generations.
But the true meaning of wizened is not wise but shrivelled or wrinkled. And that was the reason she hated it. She wanted to forget the exchange of her youth and beauty for strength and that her current face is no more than a façade, used to hide her truth from the world.
So yes she was wizened, but it was said that being wizened made you wise.
Thankyou so much for your kind words! Good news is that a concussion and bruises was the worst of the damage and I am off the pain meds now (Though I could barely move on the day after the accident). The bruise on my left knee (which bore the brunt of the damage) is about five different colours. I have learned my lesson though, If I am going to be an idiot and J-walk a traffic jam I should watch out for idiots driving in the cycle lane.
