... It wouldn't be my preferred situation, but I'll take that too if Tsunade is super-awesome-fuck-yeah!Bad-ass since it would re-enforce what she was saying about inheriting the will of fire from the deceased which I really, really liked (and I don't want the only other female Kage to die even if it was to save Tsunade, so that only leaves a man to save her).

My preferred situation is that she saves herself and he dies (in whatever order) and then she kicks ass.

If he dies while saving her and she's out for he count, I'm going to be so pissed though. I mean, not only would it pretty much disprove what she was saying about the will of fire, it'd be another save the woman thing.
