Tsunade is Around 70 Years Old in Boruto

As a hardcore Naruto fan, one question I‘m often asked is – how old is Tsunade in Boruto? After some careful research combing through the source material, I can confirm our girl Tsunade is approximately 70 years old in the current Boruto storyline!

Let‘s take a deeper look at the life and legacy of this legendary kunoichi.

Tsunade Throughout the Years

First introduced in Naruto as one of the legendary Sannin, Tsunade played a pivotal role against threats like Orochimaru and Akatsuki while also stepping up to become the Fifth Hokage.

Despite being 50 years old in her initial Naruto appearance, Tsunade utilized a reserve seal jutsu to retain a youthful physical appearance. This vanity is on-brand for a woman who‘d wager her entire wallet on a drink-off!

Here‘s a quick rundown of Tsunade‘s age across the Naruto saga:

EraTsunade‘s AgeKey Events
Early Naruto50 yearsReturns to Leaf, becomes Hokage
End of Shippuden55 yearsFights in Fourth Ninja War
Start of Boruto70 years (estimated)Retired from Hokage role

Now in her seventies in Boruto‘s timeline, while Tsunade takes more of a backseat, her spirit and legend still persists!

Will We See Tsunade Later in Boruto?

As Boruto builds toward the climactic battle, many fans wonder if Tsunade will re-emerge.

The Case For More Tsunade

  • Her medical expertise could prove invaluable against a dangerous new threat like the Otsutsuki clan.
  • As an elder stateswoman, she may have key political or strategic advice for new leaders like Naruto and Kakashi.
  • Tsunade‘s super strength and resilience could make her a useful ally in a pinch.

The Case Against More Tsunade

  • At her advanced age, Tsunade‘s best years may be behind her for front line action.
  • Her specific skillset may not be suited for some of the new ninja tech stuff going on.
  • The creators likely want the new gen cast to stand on their own.

As a huge Tsunade fan, I would lose my mind if we got to see the old girl dust off her gloves and toss a few chakra-charged haymakers on panel! A kunoichi legend easing into retirement doesn‘t mean she still can‘t throw hands if you cross her!

But I digress…that‘s just my own spin as a passionate Naruto fan. I‘d love to hear your take! Do you think we could see Tsunade later in the Boruto run?

How Might 70-Year-Old Tsunade Compare to Other Shinobi Elders?

As we‘ve established, Tsunade is roughly 70 years old according to Boruto‘s timeline skip. While not her fighting prime per se, three things give me confidence she‘d still be able to hold her own:

  1. Advanced medical ninjutsu to heal wounds and ease aging drawbacks
  2. Her Senju clan lineage known for strong life force and vitality
  3. Raw power to inflict devastating attacks if backed into a corner

Let‘s see how Granny Stacks up against some other powerful elderly shinobi in their twilight years…

ShinobiAgePower Level
Tsunade70 years8/10
Ohnoki79 years7/10
Danzo72 years7/10
Hiruzen Sarutobi 69 years9/10

As we can see, Tsunade is right there in the mix! Her overall battle power at age 70 would still rival – or in some cases surpass – what these other esteemed male shinobi displayed into their 70s and even late 70s.

So while I hope the series gives the new generation room to blossom, I‘d caution against underestimating The Legendary Sucker based solely on her age! Tsunade‘s got that Senju grit – and I wouldn‘t be surprised if she has one more heroic moment left up her sleeve!

The Bottom Line

Tsunade Senju is approximately 70 years old as of the Boruto storyline. While largely offscreen, she assuredly plays an elders stateswoman role and her legacy continues through disciples like Sakura Haruno.

We‘ll have to stay tuned to see whether the creators ever bring Tsunade back into the fray! But at the end of the day, 70 is just a number for this timeless icon. Her super strength and determination still shine as a guiding force for the next generation of leaf village heroes.

So let‘s hear it from fellow Naruto lovers – what are your thoughts on everyone‘s favorite gambling granny as she enters into her seventies? Personally hoping it‘s not over till it‘s over – shannaro!
