Episode 8 of the Naruto anime features the dream of Tsunade. In this dream, she is a young woman who is being held captive by a group of ninja. She is able to escape and free herself, but she is then taken back to the Ninja Academy and told that her dreams are just fantasies.
A few filler episodes provide the backstory for a character as told in Kakashi’s chronicles. Kakashi’s Chronicles provided a glimpse into the early days of Kakashi. We also get to see the story of Itachi Uchiha, a fan favorite. Madara Uchiha is one of the show’s main villains. She casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi. According to Madara, the Infinite Tsukuyomi will bring about world peace. We saw all major characters’ dreams during the Tsukuyomi. Tsunade, the Hokage at the time, had one such dream.
What Episodes Did Tsunade’s Night Cover?
The Infinite Tsukuyomi began in Episode 426. It continued until the end. After Naruto, Sasuke and Kaguya are able to seal Kaguya away, Episode 474 ends the infinite Tsukuyomi. Tsunade’s Tsukuyomi dreams span episodes 432 through 450.
What happens in Tsunade’s Dream?
Tsunade’s Tsukuyomi Dream arc uses the story of Jiraiya’s novel in a dream within Tsunade’s dream. We are transported to a completely different world of shinobi, one that we all hoped for Naruto. After the nine tails attack, Minato and Kushina were both alive and well. As Minato predicted, the Uchiha clan did not fall. Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to negotiate with Uchiha. Itachi and Sasuke never became rogue as a result. Naruto is working to control the chakra of the nine tails, and Naruto is willingly helping the nine tails. Naruto is joined by Nagato, Konan and others who have not died.
Team Kakashi and Team Kurenai, Team Guy and Team Asuma go on a mission. They will investigate recent abductions and disappearances of academy graduates. This is where Akatsuki is found to be responsible. Nearly everyone gets up and leaves after saving the students. Jiraiya travels to Orochimaru’s hideouts. Neji departs Naruto to follow a byakugan-wielding masked man. Neji is with the masked guy and leaves his friends. Sasuke, Sakura and the other side are attacked by Sasori. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto are saved by Naruto, who causes Sasori’s retreat. Later, it is revealed that the mask-wearing man is actually Hizashi Hyuga (Neji’s father) who has reincarnated.
Part 2 of Tsunade Dream
Sasuke returns to the village and begins his Chidori training with Kakashi. Naruto, on the other hand, goes to Jiraiya and Minato to improve his Rasengan. Sasuke asks for a transfer to Konoha military police from team 7. This is because he is jealous of Naruto’s strength. Naruto goes with Jiraiya for training, while Sakura begins training under Tsunade. Sasuke is now as powerful as Itachi and Shisui after the time skip. Fugaku nominates Sasuke lieutenant in police force. Naruto returns to the village soon and fights Sasuke. The fight ends abruptly.
Sasuke gets angry at Naruto and threatens Kushina. Fugaku then expels Sasuke permanently from the police force. Sasuke then leaves the village to go to Orochimaru. Minato hears this and orders a search operation for Sasuke. Naruto, Shikamaru and Team Guy leave the village in secret and later join Team Guy. Sasuke confronts Orochimaru, demanding more power. Orochimaru grants the cursed seal of Orochimaru to Sasuke. In an epic battle, Naruto and Sasuke are enraged. Itachi is seen and it is said that he dies after taking one Sasuke’s attack. Naruto is on the losing side of the battle. Itachi is remembered by Sasuke, who awakens Mangekyo Sharingan.
Pain Assault And The War
Pain arrives in Konoha to seek revenge on Yahiko’s murder, which he believes was caused by Minato’s order to destroy a village. In his Chibaku Tensei, he captures the entire village. Naruto arrives and begins the battle against Pain. It is very similar to Pain’s assault arc. When Pain has Naruto trapped by Pain, Kushina comes to his aid. Naruto escapes to Nagato’s hideout, where he uses his talk no Jutsu to save the village. Sasuke, on the other hand, kills Orochimaru. Sasori confronts him and says Akatsuki will help him exact his revenge on Konoha.
Naruto and his companions make their way to the Akatsuki hideout. Realizing Sasori is evil, Sasuke decides to help Naruto to stop him. Team 7 summons Jutsu. Jiraiya, Nagato, and Konan arrive to assist Naruto. Itachi arrives, saves Sasuke, and also arrives with Nagato and Konan. We all realized what we had always wanted. Itachi and Sasuke use their Susanoos to defeat the puppets.
Tsunade Tsukuyomi Dream Comes To An End
As in the original ending Naruto meets Sasuke in an epic battle. Both of them trade blows. The fight ends after they have exhausted themselves with a variety of attacks. Sasuke accepts defeat and returns to the village.
Tsunade awakens to see Dan in the Hokage Hat. They will be attending the Five Kage summit. Tsunade sees Jiraiya and Orochimaru as he descends the hall. Later, however, it becomes clear that Tsunade was still sleeping under the Tsukuyomi, and was actually dreaming.
Conclusion
Overall, Lady Tsunade had the most amazing Tsukuyomi Dream we have ever seen. While filler episodes are not always worth watching, this filler episode is truly special. This filler episode shows Naruto living the life we all hoped for. He grew up with his mother, father, and sensei Jiraiya. This is something that not only us wanted but also Naruto himself wanted. Fans would appreciate this dream, but it would not be a reality. Naruto wouldn’t have been what they see today.
We would love to hear your thoughts about this dream or any other.
