Shizune

Shizune is a jōnin of Konohagakure. An apprentice of Tsunade, Shizune became a talented medical-nin under her tutelage. She accompanies Tsunade during her years-long sabbatical from active shinobi duty, only returning to Konoha once Tsunade becomes its Fifth Hokage.

Shizune is always level-headed, practical and a rational thinker. As a result, she is the one who tends to stress over details, such as Tsunade's tendency to gamble frequently, and to think with her heart. She often gets comically worked up over any irrational decision Tsunade makes. Shizune also looks after Tonton, Tsunade's pet pig. She is a very kind and calm person but will immediately rush to Tsunade's aid and in contrast, will become fierce and somewhat ruthless; a testament of her loyalty to Tsunade, including losing her temper when anyone insults her. At the same time however, she is not afraid of objecting to Tsunade's decisions or voicing her opinion as seen when she even alerted the Konoha Council to Tsunade's intention to send Naruto on a mission that Shizune thought would put him in great peril, which would at times strain their relationship. A running gag regarding Shizune is her tendency to let out a frightened and rather exaggerated screech of terror whenever someone yells at her, usually Tsunade, or when she comes across something scary and/or inappropriate. She has a great sense of morale and ethics, as she tried to persuade Tsunade from accepting Orochimaru's offer to heal his arms in exchange of reviving Dan and Nawaki, believing the said two would not be happy to return at the cost of innocent lives. Her morale went as far as following Jiraiya's lead and possible scenario that they should eliminate Tsunade to prevent her accepting Orochimaru's offer. Likewise, she takes her role as a medical-nin very seriously, which led her to look down on Kido Tsumiki for his immoral idea of giving traumatised children prescriptions for the sake of revenue over Sakura's and Ino's highly effective yet low-cost therapies. She is not the type to tire easily and is very energetic and efficient while acting in her capacity of Hokage's Assistant, often urging Tsunade to finish the paperwork in order to avoid mountains of unsigned documents later on. She is often seen asking Tsunade questions about what to do with the village and the shinobi on missions. In the anime, she is shown to be insecure about her figure and wary of still being single past the perceived marriageable age, being unable to find a suitable mate due to her extensive travels with Tsunade. Under the influence of alcohol, Shizune openly expresses some minor jealousy of Kurenai's ample bust and relationship with Asuma.
