Hi TwistedlinkOkay
1.Tsunade said to her slug summon to make a chakra link so the slug could use tsunades chakra for healing purposes, stated here
You must be registered for see links
directly showing everyone the slugs using tsunades chakra, ergo when she uses that technique she has, it can be used for every ninja and villager.
As to the manga showing pain stating hes destroyed everything, i show you a manga showing orochimaru saying sasuke is his new body, when we now know in the future it clearly isnt.
Just because pain thinks hes killed everyone doesnt mean he has.
when Hinata turned up he was shocked, because he originally thought most people had indeed died or were badly injured
Also, Jiraiya?
I now see these posts as fandom bettering logic.
Consider for one moment pains invasion and how tsunade handled it.
Now consider for one moment pains invasion and put Jiraiya in her place.
1.We know jiraiya got owned by pain
2.We know in sage mode nobody else should get involved, pretty difficult when youre in the middle of a populated village that hasnt been massive shinra tenseid yet
3.Jiraiya has no medical jutsu, so when pain used his massive shinra tensei, shikamaru, hinata, choujis dad, everyone would be dead, because jiraiya doesnt have them slugs that healed the people weve seen so far who are alive because and only because of tsunades slugs and tsunades chakra
4.The hokage of konoha would be dead if it were jiraiya, the one right now isnt
Jiraiya is actually worse suited to this SITUATION, jiraiya is far better at 1 vs 1 fights, no one to protect and he can go all out.
I agree with you that for this situation the Jman might not have been the better in this situation. But unfortunately that is not the argument. Prevention is better than cure. Its better to have taken precautionary measures than to say, whoopy I have cured most of the people afterwards. I think you are right by stating that there would have been more losses to the village with Jman, than with Tsunade because of Tsunades healing abilities. but only if Pain were stopped inside the village, my thread is regarding the fact the Tsunade did not take the sufficient amount of action to prevent Pain from crossing the border, even though she new he was on his way for the 9 tails.
I have been through that manga many a times, but just because Tsunade says that the slugs must take from her chakra to heal the people doesnt mean she used the seal jistus that reduces her lifespan. Aswell I checked the manga later on, she still had the seal on her forehead, even though she provided the slugs with her chakra.
I showed you a link that states on the side, that Kisihi said that Konoha had countless sacrifices, not a link where Pain thinks he killed alot of people, Please show me a link where Hisihi said that Konoha have countless sacrifices or, even similar wording that Orichimaro have caused the same amount of damage?
But to get to the point of it all, like I said earlier in the post we are now speculating regarding the numbers, because there is no evidence to determine the exact amount of casualties of both battles. All we can do is compare certain detail that might resemble more destruction from the different battles.
I think you miss interpreted Pains shock, I think he was shocked to she the Byukugan more than he was of Hinata.
