After Naruto defeated Pain, at the meeting where Danzo is trying to become the next Hokage, the elders blame Tsunade for what happened to the village! They tried to force her into not informing Naruto about the village, and if they had succeeded, Pain probably would have slaughtered everyone in the village. It's true that if the 1st, 2nd, 3rd in his prime, or 4th Hokage bad been there instead then they would have killed Pain, but Tsunade's healing would have saved countless lives if Nagato didn't just revive everyone anyway. I'm seriously beginning to despise the elders, along with Danzo. It seems that whenever they interfere nothing good happens.
