Attack Potency: City level+ (She is the physically strongest of the Sannin,Naruto Chapter 164 and is renowned for her "monster strength".Naruto Chapter 159 She should be at least as strong as BoS Sakura, as her power was directly compared to that of Tsunade's by ChiyoNaruto Chapter 265Naruto Chapter 26953.15 Megatons) | Island level (Stated to be capable of killing Kabuto in a single blow, and could keep up with an amped Kabuto while exhausted and crippled by her Hemophobia.Naruto Chapter 164 Once she got over her hemophobia, she was able to draw blood from Orochimaru and beat him around, even while heavily injured.Naruto Chapter 169 She then easily incapacitated Manda,Naruto Chapter 170 and defeated Orochimaru with a single blow, forcing him to retreat.Naruto Chapter 171 The Sannin were stated to be capable of defeating each other.Naruto Chapter 91 The Sannin were said to be equal to the Gokage.Kai no Sho, page 89 She is hailed as the world's strongest Kunoichi,Naruto Chapter 172 which should make her in a similar realm of power as Mei Terumi. Completely unfazed by the prospect of fighting the Fourth RaikageNaruto Chapter 5444.3 Gigatons), far higher with Byakugō (Madara stated that she is stronger than the Raikage.Naruto Chapter 577 She was able to shatter Madara's Susano'o ribcage with a kick, and then punched straight through Madara himself.Naruto Chapter 577 She was able to shatterNaruto Chapter 578 multiple of Madara's Susano'o blades.Naruto Chapter 588 She was capable of fighting Madara's Humanoid Susano'o clones, and could slam one of them into the ground with a punchNaruto Chapter 58815.55 Gigatons)
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Even when she was extremely rusty and exhausted,Naruto Chapter 162 she managed to keep up with Kabuto Yakushi while he was amped by a military rations pill.Naruto Chapter 164 It should be noted that Kabuto is normally on Kakashi's level.Naruto Chapter 88Naruto Chapter 163Naruto Chapter 165 After she regained her resolve, she was able to keep up with and overwhelm OrochimaruNaruto Chapter 169Naruto Chapter 170), far higher with Byakugō (While notably slower than the lightened Raikage,Naruto Chapter 577 she was still able to tag Madara Uchiha multiple times,Naruto Chapter 577Naruto Chapter 588 and could even coordinate her attacks with A's rather comfortablyNaruto Chapter 577)

She withstood Madara's Yasaka no Magatama without suffering any major damageNaruto Chapter 578)
Stamina: Superhuman (As a descendant of both the SenjuNaruto Chapter 576 and UzumakiNaruto Chapter 545 clans, Tsunade has an incredibly large reserve of very powerful chakra, as well as an extremely strong strong life-force and vitality.Naruto Chapter 579 This genetic make-up allows her to fight for long periods of time, while easily shrugging off and surviving grievous injuries. Even when she was still rusty, heavily exhausted, and injured after a lengthy battle with Kabuto Yakushi,Naruto Chapter 164Naruto Chapter 165 she was still able to withstand a barrage of sword slashes from Orochimaru.Naruto Chapter 169 She was constantly slashed, and even fully impaled through the chest,Naruto Chapter 168 but even then, she was still capable of regaining her composure after overcoming her Hemophobia.Naruto Chapter 169 She then promptly started beating Orochimaru, used her Mitotic Regeneration technique to heal her injuries, which is a very taxing technique, and proceeded to summon Katsuyu, another chakra-taking endeavor.Naruto Chapter 169 She then went on to beat both Manda and Orochimaru,Naruto Chapter 170 before showing signs of exhaustion.Naruto Chapter 171 She could fight for hours on endNaruto Chapter 561Naruto Chapter 562Naruto Chapter 591 against the likes of Madara Uchiha even after sustaining fatal injuries, such as full impalement,Naruto Chapter 578 even by multiple giant blades,Naruto Chapter 588 stab wounds, and getting burnt.Naruto Chapter 591 She could even survive complete bisection for prolonged periods of time.Naruto Chapter 601 It should also be noted that during the battle against Madara, she was constantly healing the Gokage and replineshing their chakra reserves, which also took an additional toll on her.Naruto Chapter 563Naruto Chapter 588 She has spent years storing chakra in her 100 Healing mark,Naruto Chapter 169 which she can then unleash to increase her reserves greatly.Jin no Sho, page 279 Her chakra reserves are so great that she can protect, heal, and replenish the chakra reserves of thousands of people simultaneously, which she has showcased during Pain's assaultNaruto Chapter 430 and the Fourth Shinobi World War.Naruto Chapter 650 She even showed her considerable reserves when she instantly healed and replenished Shikamaru, even though a Kyūbi-cloak enhanced 100H Sakura, as well as Naruto's own Kyūbi chakra, failed to heal himNaruto Chapter 649)

Intelligence: Gifted normally. Extraordinary Genius as a Doctor.
A medical genius known the world over as the strongest Kunoichi,Naruto Chapter 172 and the world's foremost medical expert.Naruto Chapter 155 She graduated from the Ninja Academy at the tender age of 6,Sha no Sho, Page 165 with the average graduation age being 12 years old.Itachi Shinden: Book of Bright Light; Chapter 1, Page 57 Tsunade was able to complete the Chūnin Exam's written test, which included questions involving Trigonometry, Kinematics, among other topics far too advanced for her age group.Naruto Chapter 41Naruto Chapter 44 The examinees were expected to either solve the questions using their own knowledge, or use a combination of their analytical abilities, powers of observation, special abilities, and intelligence gathering skills in order to cheat the correct answers, which was the trueNaruto Chapter 41 purposeNaruto Chapter 44 of the exam. She was acknowledged for her abilities and skill by the likes of Hanzō, which is how she became one of the Sannin alongside Oorchimaru and Jiraiya.Naruto Chapter 369 She has been credited as one of the principle reasons that led to Konoha's victory during the Second and Third Shinobi World WarNaruto Chapter 158 thanks to her contributions both on the battlefield and in developing the "One Medic Specialist per 4-Man Cell" system, which greatly increased the survival rates of Shinobi cells.Naruto Chapter 154 She also founded the laws and principles that govern how all Medical Ninja operate.Naruto Chapter 577 She was considered one of the best candidates for the title of Hokage,Naruto Chapter 158 and was actually picked for the position. As a Hokage, she was noted to be a very effective leader.Sha no Sho, Page 165 She also found out that Danzō Shimura was conducting shady dealings behind the scenes, and extremely wary of him and his organization, Root.Naruto Chapter 367 
She has performed many seemingly impossible feats in the medical field such as healing the psychological damage inflicted upon Sasuke and Kakashi by Tsukuyomi with a mere touch,Naruto Chapter 172 fully healing Rock Lee's spinal injuryNaruto Chapter 210 which was deemed a hopeless case,Naruto Chapter 173 counteracted the effects of the Three Coloured Pills, which were eating away at his cells, using instructions from the Nara Clan's Sacred Medical Guide,Naruto Chapter 235 analyzed and neutralized the poisons of renowned experts such as Chiyo of the Sand,Naruto Chapter 253 and much more. She was also noted to be the only one capable of healing Orochimaru's arms,Naruto Chapter 153Naruto Chapter 155Naruto Chapter 156 which had their soul sealed away and lost their ability to function, even though Orochimaru had the aid of a competent Medical Ninja such as Kabuto.Naruto Chapter 153 She is adept enough to perform complex autopsies, even on a cellular level, and determine the exact causes of death in addition to perfectly analyzing the properties of any attacks used on the victim.Naruto Chapter 346 She was able to synthesize artificial limbs from the cells of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju,Naruto Chapter 699 which is something that took the likes of Orochimaru years to perfect. However, her crowning medical achievement is perhaps her development of the Creation Rebirth Jutsu, which goes a step beyond healing and actually regenerates all of her wounds by drawing on her chakra reserves to perform cellular division and heal almost any injury.Naruto Chapter 169 
She has the uncanny ability of being able to accurately diagnose someone's physical condition with a mere glance from several meters away.Naruto Chapter 155 She can also easily spot and identify specific ailments that are affecting her patients without the use of equipment.Sha no Sho, Page 256Naruto Chapter 253 
In addition to her medical expertise, she is also an elite Shinobi with decades of experience fighting against and commanding the respect of legends such as Hanzo, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and even the likes of Madara Uchiha.Naruto Chapter 577 She's a Taijutus expert who holds considerable skill in armed and unarmed combat. She was also able to teach and train Sakura to master her evasion techniques, which allowed her to gradually read someone's attack patterns and start dodging accordingly, even from blindspots.Naruto Chapter 270 Finally, she was awarded a 5 on her Databook entry's intelligence category, which makes her comparable to other geniuses such as Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Itachi.
Weaknesses: Using her Mitotic Regeneration technique consumes a lot of chakra, greatly accelerates her aging, and shortening her lifespan.Naruto Chapter 169 When she runs out of chakra, her transformation technique comes undone and she temporarily loses her youthful appearance.Naruto Chapter 171 Initially suffered from crippling Hemophobia due to her immense and constant guilt for not being able to save her lover and younger brother,Naruto Chapter 157 but during her fight with Orochimaru, she was able overcome this.Naruto Chapter 169 She has unhealthy habits, such as severe gambling addiction and alcohol abuse. She's also very impatient and has a very short temper, and is extremely prone to fits of anger.Naruto Chapter 156 Katsuyu's Remote Healing is linked to Tsunade's chakra reserves, which renders Katsuyu's healing abilities useless if Tsunade is out of chakra.Naruto Chapter 635
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Ranshinshou (Body Pathway Derangement): Tsunade hits a particular point on the opponent's body and releases her chakra inside, disrupting and rearranging the nerve signals in the brain. The technique confuses the movements of the limbs, effectively paralysing them. For example, if someone is trying to move his right arm, a different body part would perform the same movement.
*Sozo Saisei (Creation Rebirth): By using a large amount of chakra, Tsunade can enter a regenerative state that allows her to heal from fatal wounds quickly and even regenerate lost limbs and organs. However, the use of this technique shortens her lifespan.
*Byakugo no Jutsu (Strength of a Hundred Technique): An advanced form of Tsunade's Creation Rebirth technique. She is covered in various tattoos and markings, giving her a general power increase and constant regenerative abilities.
*Summon Katsuyu: Tsunade summons her giant slug, Katsuyu. It can spit acid or heal others by dividing it into many small slugs and transfer its chakra directly to them.
*Chakra Transfer Technique: Tsunade can transfer her chakra to others, which powers up their abilities. It can bring Onoki's strengths up from Small City to Large Mountain level of power.
*Enkaku Chiyu (Remote Healing): Through the use of Katsuyu's clones, she can heal and shield an entire city's worth of people, unlocking her In Fuin (Yin Seal) can even protect the villagers from an attack that was capable of leveling a town.
