Abilities/Powers: Oh boy, oh boy. Tsunade is quite a pain to deal with in fighting. Her combat is cornered around her insane strength and her, quite frankly, ridiculous endurance and healing talents.
Tsunade has unparalleled Chakra Control. Chakra is the natural spiritual energy that is used for fighting techniques in Naruto. It's also a life force. Without it, you will die. Tsunade's control over chakra means that she does not waste excess chakra in performing her techniques which means that she has the potential to fight for hours consecutively. Additionally, because of her heritage, she has naturally mammoth chakra reserves, being able to heal thousands of people at once in one arc when it was stated healing a single person takes up a lot of chakra. She also has a second set of chakra because of a seal, putting her in the upper 10% in terms of chakra reserves.
First, her primary ability, is her massive strength. Madara, an almost mythic ninja who has faced countless strong opponents and has experience with ninjas from every walk of life, stated that her strength is simply intense and a cut above the rest of the characters he's faced. After a single punch, she was able to crack his supposedly impenetrable shield and another kick blew it fully open, causing him to recant his statement about her weakness. Orochimaru, a teammate for decades and an expert on her strength said a single hit from her can kill and indeed, when she has split open the street with a single finger and demolished an alleyway with a kick, it's really hard to dispute that. Her strength isn't limited to just striking either, it's indicated that a lot of it is sheerly natural and is merely enhanced with the application and release of chakra at specific moments. She was able to wield a skyscraper-sized sword and accurately guide it into a giant snake's mouth before it could close its jaws.
However, she has other close range combat skills in case her strength is failing her. Ranshishou is a technique that scatters the nervous system and makes it so if they were to move their arm, for example, they'd end up moving a heel or something similar.
Tsunade's most legendary skill, however, is her medical prowess. She can use ninjutsu known as Shosen to speed up her body's natural healing process. Her skill with this technique is so notable that she can regenerate an eye just by touching someone and can heal a leg with a single touch. Her skills as a medic is so great, she was able to heal thousands of people simultaneously twice over with the help of her summon, Katsuyu. Additionally, she can transfer her chakra to others and supercharge their techniques like a living chakra battery. Her ability to heal others surpasses physical afflictions and can go right beyond into mental afflictions, as she was able to heal someone from a mental affliction that put them into a comatose implying a significant knowledge in the human psyche. Orochimaru said there was no wound she couldn't heal and personally sought her out to heal his arms which were claimed and sealed by the grim reaper himself. Tsunade, despite being out of practice for multiple decades, didn't refute this claim. Additionally, Tsunade is a master at poisons, although this rarely shows it hand. She was able to drug Jiraiya without his knowledge, stating that was something only she could do. Chiyo, her archenemy from wartime, stated that Tsunade would be able to counter her poisons without fail and create antidotes. Medicine is Tsunade's forte and she remains unsurpassed in such a field.
Another technique she can use is chakra scalpel, which converts chakra into a blade that can sever muscles or, if placed accurately, kill by slicing arteries or attacking the heart directly. When Kabuto used a chakra scalpel offensively, she stated that his precision and skill with it in an offensive setting surpassed hers indicating familiar usage with it in a combat setting despite this she has only used it to cut open Naruto's shirt.
Her medical techniques have a limited offensive usage, in that it can overload a person's respiratory system and cause them to pass out. She was also able to use this technique with a "killing intent" that Kabuto identified as something that would kill Orochimaru, a supposedly immortal man that has cheated death more times than one could count. However, she took hella days to load this super kill technique and thus it's highly interruptible.
Tsunade is also the master at seals. Her own seal, Strength of a Hundred Seal, can be released to replenish her chakra reserves as it is made up of chakra that she has stored in her forehead for a really rainy day. From here, the chakra can be used for creation rebirth, a technique which allowed her to regenerate any type of damage she has received, including organs and limbs. Or, she can use this for the Strength of a Hundred Technique, which allows her to regenerate in the middle of combat without the use of hand signs and without conscious thought. With this, she brags about how she's immortal on the battlefield and will never die. However, the techniques shorten her lifespan because of a finite amount of cells she can generate, also it ages her incredibly. Despite being in her mid-fifties, without her transformation technique she easily looks like she's older than the Golden Girls put together. If she runs of chakra, the technique ends, but she is also able to reseal the technique at will making this an unlikely circumstance that just coincidentally happens every time she fights.
Another technique she has is to vitalize her body to move at incredible bursts of speed noted as Shushin Jutsu. However, this is the only way she has to increase her speed and she's not a very fast person without it. She mostly uses this it transport herself from one location to another quickly. After Konoha was reduced to a parking lot, she cleared about half of her city in a single second thanks to, presumably, this technique. Otherwise, Kishimoto created a minor plothole since speed is officially not her forte. Despite this, Tsunade isn't easy to hit in combat once she recognizes your fighting style. She's able to predict attacks and use her predictions to avoid attacks and, considering how she's been fighting for years, she's very good at this, being able to evade an underground ambush despite not knowing when it'd happen.
Tsunade also has a ridiculously high damage soak, being able to endure impossible amounts of damage. Buildings falling on her? She gets up perfectly fine and is just pissed that the building fell. Being stabbed three times in the chest? Turns out, the only thing holding her back from moving and not being a useless mess was her fear of blood, not the actual stab wounds. A jutsu that can supposedly rip people to shreds because they're traveling at the speed of light? Tsunade received several internal and external lacerations, but she was intact which is a considerable feat. She was able to move with two giant blades inside her torso. But, her most telling feat of durability was when she was chopped in half and still summoned Katsuyu to heal the other Kage. Nothing appears to slow Tsunade down and when she falls, its often due to chakra exhaustion.
Finally, there's Katsuyu. Katsuyu is Tsunade's personal summon, who is, apparently, absolutely massive. Tsunade and Sakura's combined efforts were only able to summon a tenth of Katsuyu's full body and she was able to aid in healing an entire army. Summoning Katsuyu, unlike other summons, is summoning portions of the same entity. The portion Tsunade usually summons is massive, although she has been seen to summon smaller Katsuyus for more espionage related ideas. Katsuyu is easily taller than four stories, as that is the height of the largest building in Konoha which Katsuyu rivaled in size. Katsuyu can divide herself into several smaller slugs that easily numerate into the thousands and she can reform herself into one entity with ease. These clones can channel Tsunade's medical chakra which means Tsunade is able to heal multiple targets simultaneously through Katsuyu. This healing is so potent that it can connect bisected people, although the healing factor is dependent on Tsunade's state of health. If she's weakened, the process will take a very long time. Katsuyu's lone offensive ability, aside from maybe some creative suffocation, is the ability to spit acid from her mouth. This acid can vaporize rock in seconds and isn't something to take lightly, as even Orochimaru and his cohorts took the sound of Katsuyu making some flesh melting liquids pretty seriously. Katsuyu's main talent is her ability to suck people into her for protective cushioning with her insane durability. She was able to save an entire village with her clones withstanding the Power of Gravity™ which pushed and leveled Konoha's buildings before sending the village several feet below sea level. The citizens, however, were safe inside her divisions. A palm sized version was able to survive a corrosive chakra cloak and the most extreme attack in the series. The small slug divisions are deceptively fast, as they're able to throw themselves in front of an attack before a giant rhino was able to cross a room. It's weirdest ability is the ability to deconstruct itself into nothing but an entire pool of liquid yet it is still able to function as if it's normal.
Items/Weapons: Poison - This poison is odorless, tasteless and concealed in a small packet. It can also interfere with a person's spiritual energy and will leave them weak for hours after waking up. The poison takes place quickly, causing them to pass out. It should be noted that even other medics have a difficulty from healing the afflictions from that poison.
