A/N: Spoilers for Tsunade's past!
(Nawaki is dead, dead and cold,) and another heart is still under Tsunade’s slender hands. It’s only a scratch, the young man had said, bloodied lips curling to a smile. Just a scratch, please, let me be. The others need you more.
They always do (and Nawaki is dead, dead and cold,) and Tsunade is working, fingers leaving red marks on too pale and cooling skin. Finally there’s nothing to do and she gets up only to kneel again beside the next one.
Life has to go on (though Nawaki is dead, dead and cold,) and Tsunade knows it. They need her to heal, to fight and to know when to give up. When to close blind eyes and move forward.
But Nawaki is dead, dead and cold, and in her heart Tsunade is still.

Also, Tsunade is a character that I, at least, don't often see a lot of fics about, so a plus for that too :)

And you're right about Tsunade, I haven't seen many fics about her either. It's a pity because she's an interesting character.
