Why is Tsunade maintaining her youth?

[Sabuto Hayashi]

A droopy chest is not a very good style for a Hokage.
Just look at Mei, and you'll see what I mean. xd

Nope, look it up. It's just a regular transformation technique that she keeps up 24/7.

Maybe it's a more advanced form of transformation jutsu that affects more than just the appearance that we are not aware of yet.

 

[Elio]

The 5th Hokage is very vain and utilizes a transformation technique to maintain her youthful appearance. While it is minimal, that does waste some of her chakra. When putting her life on the line and fighting for the fate of the world, you'd think she'd be giving it her all and not worrying about appearances. Is it really going to kill her to be a little wrinkly?

For being 54, that's not a bad looking hand​

That hand looks terrible for 54 if you ask me O_O​

 

[saaaaaadpanda]

she doesnt waste chakara as once she performs it it maintains itself. However she wants to be taken seriously in the fight a old hag wouldnt be.

That violates everything we know about chakra... Also, I think any woman that can do this:

will be taken seriously.

This is pretty close to what Tsunade should look like...
She should embrace her age and concentrate on her hokage duties.

Besides being/looking old does not make you a bad hokage ..

but of course she will never be half as good as he was.

 

[Frikid]

coz she wants to impress raikage xd
+
she is daughter of hashirama, so she because of being a senju and daughter of hashi, its her natural look

 

[Kratos of cruxis]

Because she got it like that

 

[saaaaaadpanda]

Because she got it like that

Don't get your expectations too high.

Oh my goodness I literally gasped out loud when I saw that. I'm watching FRIENDS right now. My they look God awful. :whoa:

Nope, look it up. It's just a regular transformation technique that she keeps up 24/7.

The burden of proof is on the one making the assertion.

 

[Kira was Righteous]

so she has a chance with the Raikage

 

[Sn0rkack]

In their own way, the Sannin all desire youthful bodies.

 

[saaaaaadpanda]

so she has a chance with the Raikage

^Totally. If they had kids, they'd look like this:

Those two were like in their 80s. I don't think Tsunade should look that old... lol

Close enough lol

I dont remember it being referred to as a 'regular' technique. I'm pretty sure it was referred to as her own special transformation tech (cant remember where tho).

"However, she maintains the appearance of her younger self through a unique and constant Transformation Technique"

As mentioned in the Wikia (i know its not definative lol)

I'm pretty sure changing her appearance does give her the benefits of that age range which is why she does it. As to why she doesnt go younger i believe she'd be worried that people would look down on her for masking her true age and not taking it with grace which is why she chooses a point closer to her true age but while still being young enough to battle effectively.

 

[Anorien16]

Few of my personal opinions:

1. Kishi NEVER showed her actual appearance and preobably dont want to.
2. It may be Tsunade thinks that IF she survives she can still get married but everyone seeing what she really looks like wont help her ambition.
3. Most women are overly appearance conscious.

 

[Dead Ninja]

I think for being 54 in the Narutoverse that is a bad looking hand. Jiraiya is the same age or near and he doesn't look old and wrinkly like that hand. Even the elders and Danzou don't look like that. lol

This is where Kish failed, he trolled Tsunade.
I don't think she should be looking that wrinkly at that age, Kish over exaggerated it.
