 == Influences on fiction ==
-In the [[manga]] and [[anime]] series ''[[Naruto]]'', a character named [[Tsunade (Naruto)|Tsunade]] served as the [[Hokage]] (leader) of the village where the protagonist [[Naruto Uzumaki]] lives. She is known as the world's strongest kunoichi (female ninja) and the greatest medical ninja. Tsunade, [[Jiraiya (Naruto)|Jiraiya]], and [[Orochimaru (Naruto)|Orochimaru]] appear as three legendary ninja known as the Sannin. ''Naruto''{{'s}} Tsunade can summon slugs into battle, up to and including [[Kaiju|''kaiju''-sized]] monsters. This summoning ability is predicated on Tsunade having established a blood-contract with all slug species. Jiraiya and Orochimaru can also summon and shapeshift into toads and snakes respectively. The repeated loss of her loved ones caused Tsunade to later abandon the life of a ninja for many years. But after being convinced by Jiraiya and Naruto, she is eventually persuaded to return to their village and take on the mantle of the fifth Hokage.
