Did TSUNADE Die in NARUTO? (INTERESTING EXPLANATION!!!)

The narrative of Naruto Uzumaki, a teenage ninja with aspirations of becoming the next Hokage, the title given to the most powerful member of the ninja community and the head of his village, is told inside the manga. 

The original Naruto manga was turned into an anime series that aired from 2002 to 2007, while the sequel, Naruto Shippuden, ran from 2007 to 2017.

For a justifiable explanation, Naruto is considered to be one of the strong heroes in the shounen series. He became a Jinchriki at the moment of his birth, which means he is the host of the nine-tailed fox Kurama.

In the end, he became renowned as the Hero of the Hidden Leaf and accomplished his goal of becoming the Seventh Hokage, but in order to get there, he and his comrades had to go through a lot of trials and adventures first, including some that had to be told in the form of full-length movies.
