â | I am First Hokage Hashirama's descendant. Yet, I don't use Wood Style, that's true. My Medical Ninjutsu is pathetic compared to the first Hokage's. True also, I am female. But I am not weak.

Summary
Tsunade is one of Konohagakure's legendary Sannin. Though celebrated as the world's most powerful kunoichi and its greatest medical-nin, the repeated loss of her loved ones caused her to abandon the life of a shinobi for many years. She is eventually persuaded to return to Konoha and becomes its Fifth Hokage, where her skills proved invaluable to the village.

Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Tsunade, like all Shinobi, is capable of using Chakra to enhance her strength to superhuman levels[9])
- Genius Intelligence
- Longevity (As a descendant of both the Senju[3] and Uzumaki[10] clans, Tsunade has been blessed with an extremely powerful vitality and improved longevity. This effect can be observed through the fact that she's still alive well into her late sixties and early seventies, despite having abused her Mitotic Regeneration, which has the side effect of greatly accelerating her aging and shortening her lifespan[1])
- Chakra Manipulation
- Statistics Amplification (Shinobi are capable of enhancing their physical capabilities with the use of chakra. The Shunshin no Jutsu allows Shinobi to greatly enhance their speed by focusing chakra in their feet.[11][12][13] Using her signature chakra enhanced "monster" strength, Tsunade focuses her maximum chakra into her limbs at the exact moment of impact in order to release far greater power than is possible for most Shinobi.[14] She can also release the Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead to gain access to all of her accumulated chakra and greatly increase her strength even further[15])
- Surface Scaling and Water Walking (By focusing chakra at the soles of their feet, Shinobi can scale and cling to vertical surfaces, and even walk on water[16][17])
- Afterimage Creation, Stealth Mastery, and Speed Enhancement (The Substitution Jutsu allows its user to instantly replace themselves with a nearby object such as a tree log, plant, person, or clone at the exact moment they are attacked. The Jutsu works even if the user is physically restrained or observed by characters as observant as Sharingan or Sage Mode users. This creates the optical illusion of the user being hit, which confuses the opponent and gives them an opening to flee or counterattack[18][19][20][21][22])
- Minor Illusion Creation and Duplication (With the Clone Technique,[23] Shinobi can create illusionary duplicates of themselves that have no physical substance. He can also create Shadow Clones,[24] which are identical clones that can aid him in combat, use his techniques, telepathically relay information back to him when they're destroyed, and act as distractions, among other things)
- Shapeshifting (With the Transformation Technique,[23] Shinobi can transform themselves into other people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects, such as weapons. Tsunade is also capable of using chakra in order to permanently alter her physical appearance and age in order to keep herself looking young or to avoid her gambling debts[25])
- Paralysis Inducement (With the Temporary Paralysis Technique,[26] Shinobi can completely paralyze their targets from close to mid range)
- Genjutsu Nullification (Shinobi can typically break free from and nullify non-ocular genjutsu by intentionally disrupting the flow of chakra[27] within their bodies)
- Martial Arts (All Shinobi are trained to be highly proficient in Taijutsu.[28] Even in the Ninja Academy, they are trained in Hand-to-Hand combat and perform drills regularly to perfect their Taijutsu.[29] She is an elite Shinobi with decades of combat experience under her belt. She casually disarmed and outclassed Naruto in hand-to-hand combat.[30] She's able to contend with masterful combatants such as Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Madara Uchiha for extended periods of time, and routinely outclassed them in Taijutsu.[31][1][32][33] She trained Sakura to be skilled enough in Taijutsu to read attack patterns, and predict incoming attacks, even if the attacks are extremely numerous or are coming from practically all directions[34])
- Pressure Points Strikes (Shinobi are taught a technique that allows them to painlessly knock people out with a simple neck chop in the Academy.[35] As a doctor, Tsunade has an intimate knowledge of the human body, as well as all of its weak spots, and is perfectly capable of targeting them in combat or using her Chakra Scalpel.[31] She hit Naruto's wrist in such a way that it forced him to release his weapon involuntarily.[30] She effortlessly knocked out Shizune without harming her[36])
- Weapon Mastery (All Shinobi are taught and trained to master Shuriken, Kunai, and many other ninja weapons in the Academy.[37][38][28] She was able to wield Gamabunta's giant tantÅ[32])
- Acrobatics (All Shinobi are extremely agile, and can jump to great heights.[29] Additionally, they can all travel around by jumping across tree branches.[39] Tsunade in turn is an incredibly agile fighter, being able to deliver very acrobatic kicks[40] and dodge attacks from any which direction.[31] She's capable of jumping to extreme heights[32] in combat and can perform fighting maneuvers mid-air, which she demonstrated by tagging an airborne Madara Uchiha with a kick[41])
- Stealth Mastery (The basis for all Shinobi skills is to "become invisible and eradicate yourself", in order to analyze your opponent and catch them off-guard.[28] She effortlessly stole Naruto's money without him noticing.[42] Tsunade was able to easily slip her sleeping potion into Jiraiya's drink without him noticing at all,[36][43] despite his vast experience and his own considerable stealth and espionage capabilities[44][45][46])
- Smoke Manipulation (With the use of smoke bombs, which are a standard part of a Shinobi's basic toolkit[47])
- Explosion Manipulation (Explosive tags, also known as letter bombs, are a standard part[48][49] of a Shinobi's basic toolkit[47])
- Light Manipulation (Flash bombs are a standard part of a Shinobi's arsenal[49][50])
- Enhanced Senses, Extrasensory Perception, and Information Analysis (Can detect someone's erratic heartbeats, and accurately diagnose their physical condition with a mere glance from several meters away.[51] Easily dodged an underground sneak attack from Kabuto at the last second.[31] High level medical Ninja are capable of sensing disturbances in the chakra inside the body, as well as spotting and diagnosing the exact cause of said disturbance, such as pathogens or ailments, and finally spotting the exact area that's being afflicted.[52][5] By sharing her chakra with Katsuyu's clones, Tsunade is able to sense anything her chakra comes into contact with, as well as diagnose the condition of any person Katsuyu attaches herself to.[53][54] This technique is very similar to the one utilized by an extremely young Itachi Uchiha, which enabled him to send out his Chakra in all directions within his immediate vicinity, allowing him to sense the presence of everyone around him, as well as the specific techniques and abilities they're utilizing.[55] It's also strikingly similar to Sakura doing much the same as an adult using the Area Scanning Technique, which allows her to roughly map out entire structures by channelling her chakra through inorganic materials. Doing so allows her to detect threats, traps, and hidden rooms[56])
- Analytical Prediction (Taught and trained Sakura to master her evasion techniques, which allowed her to gradually read someone's attack patterns and start dodging accordingly, even from blindspots.[34] Tsunade herself showed her mastery of this technique during her fight with Kabuto when she effortlessly dodged his underground sneak attack[31])
- Shockwave Creation (Tsunade's attacks create massive shockwaves that cause great damage to her surroundings.[40][31] She should be capable of replicating what Sakura[57][58][59] and Sarada[60] are able to do using their chakra enhanced strength)
- Earth Manipulation, Water Manipulation, and Fire Manipulation (Tsunade possesses Earth, Water, and Fire Release techniques;[61] however, she has never showcased them directly in the series)
- Electricity Manipulation, Durability Negation, and Status Effect Inducement (She can change her chakra into electricity in order to create an electrical field. Using RanshinshÅ, Tsunade can cut off and scramble the target's electric signals that pass through their nervous system. While under the influence of this technique, the target won't be able to perform simple actions such as walking or moving their limbs, much less fighting, because their body simply does not do what their brain tells them to due to the scrambled signals. It should be noted that this technique directly affects the target's nervous system, ignoring their outer defenses[31][62])
- Sealing (Her necklace contained a very powerful Sealing Jutsu.[63] She has considerable Fuinjutsu prowess, as her 100 Healings mark functions by storing and sealing away her chakra within the mark on her forehead, and then releasing it when she sees fit[1])
- Limited Durability Negation, Intangibility, and Weapon Creation (Using the Chakra Scalpel, Tsunade can bypass a target's outer skin and cut through their vitals, internal muscles, and organs without causing any external damage[31])
- Healing (As the world's most skilled Medical Ninja, her healing abilities are unmatched. Using the Mystical Palm Technique,[64] she can heal a plethora of external and internal injuries, ailments, and unwanted effects, be it on herself[31] or others. The technique can also be used from a distance.[65] 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,[66] fully healing Rock Lee's spinal injury[67] which was deemed a hopeless case,[68] 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,[69] analyzed and neutralized the poisons of renowned experts such as Chiyo of the Sand,[5] easily healed a hole in Minato's torso,[70] and much more. She was also noted to be the only one capable of healing Orochimaru's arms,[71][51][72] 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.[71] She was able to effortlessly heal and replenish Shikamaru, even though a Kyūbi-cloak enhanced 100H Sakura, as well as Naruto's own Kyūbi chakra, failed to heal him and were barely keeping him alive.[73] Additionally, Medical Ninjustu can also heal from the effects of,[65] and even directly remove,[52][5] powerful poison.[74] By linking her chakra to Katsuyu,[75] Tsunade is capable of healing countless people[76] and restoring their chakra[77] over vast distances using her Remote Healing[78])
- Soul Manipulation (Using her Medical Ninjutsu, she had the ability to restore Orochimaru's arms, which had their soul severed and sealed away by the Reaper Death Seal, rendering them unusable[71][51][72])
- Non-Physical Interaction (With her Medical Ninjutsu, she could interact with and heal the soul.[71][51][72] By focusing chakra in her arms, she could deflect elemental Ninjutsu such as Madara's Fire Style with her bare hands,[79] which is something that Sakura later replicated to catch and repel incoming Ninjutsu[80])
- Power Bestowal (Using their 100 Healings technique, the user is capable of transferring their chakra to another person in order to greatly empower them and enhance their abilities[81][82])
- Biological Manipulation, Durability Negation, and limited Regeneration Negation (She can kill people using Medical Ninjutsu, and Orochimaru would have died on the spot had he touched her chakra.[40] The Mystical Palm technique can affect the target's interior as well as their exterior in order to heal injuries; however, should Tsunade wish it, she can use the technique to kill her targets or overload their circulatory system with chakra, leaving them in a comatose state, or otherwise damaging them as she pleases.[64][83] She should also be capable of combining her chakra-enhanced fists with her medical Ninjutsu in a similar manner to Sakura in order to simultaneously heal the damage resulting from the punches, eventually killing the affected cells from over-replication and rendering her target's regeneration obsolete[84])
- Energy Manipulation and Telekinesis (By employing extremely fine chakra control, Ninja Medics are able to manipulate objects without having to make physical contact with them. For instance, one of the most basic chakra control drills they undergo involves using their chakra to stir a milk coffee mixture and separate its components.[85] Using this principle, they are capable of isolating and removing poison from a target's bloodstream.[52][5] They can also use their chakra to manipulate and fling away other objects as well[86][87][88][89])
- Plant Manipulation (Medical Ninjutsu can be used to make plants and flowers fully bloom[89])
- Heat Manipulation (With the use of Medical Ninjutsu, it is possible to apply high heat into a target's body, which was demonstrated when Sarada accidentally burned a fish she was attempting to resuscitate[90])
- Limited Resurrection (Medical Ninjutsu can be used to resuscitate a dead fish[91])
- Poison Manipulation (Can produce and imbue her weaponry with deadly poisons.[92] She can also use poison gas bombs.[47] Much like her student, Shizune, she can use a combination of Ninjutsu, advanced chakra control, and chemistry in order to transform her chakra into a special substance, which turns into a deadly poison mist when it makes control with the air after being ejected from her mouth,[93] using Poison Mist[94])
- Immortality (Types 2 and 3; For as long as Creation Rebirth is active, Tsunade is effectively immortal and will not die no matter how much she's injured.[1][95] She can regenerate from what would normally be lethal injuries, such as impalement,[96][81] and can even survive complete bisection for an extended period of time while extremely low on chakra[97])
- Regeneration (At least Mid; With her Creation Rebirth Jutsu, she can stimulate her cellular division in order to regenerate organs and limbs,[1] essentially rendering her immortal, as long as she still has enough chakra.[97] The Databook entry for the Jutsu also reiterates much of this by asserting that she can reconstruct all of her body's organs and tissues instantly, rendering her impossible to kill by any means for as long as the technique is active.[95] She was able to regenerate from being impaled by Madara's Susano'o[96][81] and from complete bisection.[97] Tsunade was completely confident that her Creation Rebirth would allow her to survive and recover from Mabui's Ethereal Transmission Jutsu completely ripping her apart[2])
- Supernatural Willpower (She can withstand grueling and life-threatening injuries, such as swords plunging straight through her chest and torso, or getting cut in half, without succumbing to the pain or losing the ability to fight. Easily endured being stabbed straight through the chest by Orochimaru, and then getting repeatedly slashed by his blade, despite being crippled by her Hemophobia at the time, in order to protect Naruto.[1] Overcame her crippling Hemophobia through sheer will.[1] She could continue to fight unencumbered while having Madara's Susano'o blades plunged through her torso[81])
- Summoning (Able to summon Katsuyu[1])
- Sleep Inducement (Can create undetectable knockout drugs that can be utilized against experienced Shinobi,[43] and should be able to create and use knockout gases like Sakura,[98] since she's the one who taught her how to make them[99])
- Overwhelming Aura and Fear Manipulation (Much like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and many other high level Shinobi, Tsunade can also project her bloodlust[40] in order to scare other highly skilled and experienced Shinobi.[43] Even Kabuto, who's always around Orochimaru, was visibly fazed by her bloodlust.[72] It was also stated that when she's truly angered, "her expression and glow of her eyes right before her eruption have the intensity to make anyone afraid."[7])
- Resistance to:
- Ice Manipulation (Ninja who can mold Chakra can send that chakra around their bodies to generate heat and prevent their bodies from freezing. This technique was potent enough to counteract Earth Chain Ice, a technique that freezes its victims from the inside out[100])
- Poison Manipulation via antidotes (Can analyze and produce antidotes[5] to even the deadliest of poisons, which she later on taught to Sakura.[34] These antidotes can completely neutralize the effects of any poison, even while being exposed to the poison directly[34])
- Illusion Creation (She should be able to see through illusions like Sakura,[101][102] as her chakra control and abilities were on another level compared to Sakura's at that point)
- Fear Manipulation (Completely unfazed by Pain,[103] Jiraiya,[42] and Orochimaru's[40] bloodlust auras)
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics (She was stated to be comparable in power to Manda and Gamabunta[104])
- Large Size (Varies from Type 1[75] to Type 2[77])
- Small Size (Up to Type 1[105] via fission)
- Fissionism and Duplication (Katsuyu is capable of splitting into many smaller clones of herself, up to thousands at a time, in order to both allow Tsunade to heal[75] many people[76] over a large area and avoid damage[32])
- Elemental Intangibility (Katsuyu is capable of rendering herself intangible via turning into a liquid-like, viscous substance[77])
- Acid Manipulation (Katsuyu is capable of spewing extremely corrosive acid from her mouth with Acid Slime[32])
- Healing (By utilizing Tsunade's chakra,[75] Katsuyu is capable of healing others[76] and restoring their chakra[77] using her Remote Healing[78])
- Telepathy (Katsuyu's clones are able to telepathically share information with each other, which is an excellent tool for intelligence gathering over a large area[63])
- Resistance to Poison Manipulation and Corrosion Inducement (Katsuyu was completely unharmed after being in contact with Version 2 Naruto's chakra for an extended period of time[105])
Attack Potency: City level+ (She is the physically strongest of the Sannin,[31] and is renowned for her "monster strength".[42] She should be at least as strong as BoS Sakura, as her power was directly compared to that of Tsunade's by Chiyo[106][107][Note 1]) | 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.[31] Once she got over her hemophobia, she was able to draw blood from Orochimaru and beat him around, even while heavily injured.[1] She then easily incapacitated Manda,[32] and defeated Orochimaru with a single blow, forcing him to retreat.[108] The Sannin were stated to be capable of defeating each other.[109] The Sannin were said to be equal to the Gokage.[110] She is hailed as the world's strongest Kunoichi,[66] which should make her in a similar realm of power as Mei Terumi. Completely unfazed by the prospect of fighting the Fourth Raikage[111][Note 2]), far higher with ByakugÅ (Madara stated that she is stronger than the Raikage.[41] She was able to shatter Madara's Susano'o ribcage with a kick, and then punched straight through Madara himself.[41] She was able to shatter[96] multiple of Madara's Susano'o blades.[81] She was capable of fighting Madara's Humanoid Susano'o clones, and could slam one of them into the ground with a punch[81][Note 3])
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Even when she was extremely rusty and exhausted,[43] she managed to keep up with Kabuto Yakushi while he was amped by a military rations pill.[112] It should be noted that Kabuto is normally on Kakashi's level.[113][40][114] After she regained her resolve, she was able to keep up with and overwhelm Orochimaru[1][32]), far higher with ByakugÅ (While notably slower than the lightened Raikage,[41] she was still able to tag Madara Uchiha multiple times,[41][81] and could even coordinate her attacks with A's rather comfortably[41])
Lifting Strength: At least Class M (She was able to lift and wield Gamabunta's giant tantÅ[32]), higher with ByakugÅ (Far stronger than before)
Striking Strength: City level+ (She once brought Jiraiya to near death, breaking six of his ribs, both of his arms, and rupturing several of his organs[115]) | Island level (Physically stronger than Orochimaru), far higher with ByakugÅ (She can damage Madara's Susano'o and could obliterate most of Madara's torso with a single blow. Even when nearly out of chakra, she was able to deflect Madara's Katon with her bare hands, but not without suffering some burns[79])
Durability: City level+ (Should be comparable to Sakura, as well as her fellow Sannin. She could survive attacks from Hanzo) | Island level (Should be comparable to her attack power. She is physically superior to Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Saved all the citizens of Konoha from Pain's Chaotic Shinra Tensei by empowering Katsuyu's clones with her 100 Healing Mark's stored chakra, and survived the shockwave herself[116][117]), far higher with ByakugÅ (Should be comparable to her striking strength. She withstood Madara's Yasaka no Magatama without suffering any major damage[96])
Stamina: Superhuman (As a descendant of both the Senju[3] and Uzumaki[10] clans, Tsunade has an incredibly large reserve of very powerful chakra, as well as an extremely strong strong life-force and vitality.[118] 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,[31][119] she was still able to withstand a barrage of sword slashes from Orochimaru.[1] She was constantly slashed, and even fully impaled through the chest,[120] but even then, she was still capable of regaining her composure after overcoming her Hemophobia.[1] 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.[1] She then went on to beat both Manda and Orochimaru,[32] before showing signs of exhaustion.[108] She could fight for hours on end[121][2][79] against the likes of Madara Uchiha even after sustaining fatal injuries, such as full impalement,[96] even by multiple giant blades,[81] stab wounds, and getting burnt.[79] She could even survive complete bisection for prolonged periods of time.[97] 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.[122][81] She has spent years storing chakra in her 100 Healing mark,[1] which she can then unleash to increase her reserves greatly.[15] 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 assault[123] and the Fourth Shinobi World War.[124] 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 him[73])
Range: Standard Melee Range physically. Several Meters with the Mystical Palm Technique.[65] Tens of Meters with shockwaves.[40][31][57][58][59][60] Kilometers with Remote Healing.[75][76][77][78] Interdimensional with the the Summoning Jutsu and Reverse Summoning Jutsu[125][126]
- Medical tools
- Knockout drugs
- Sleeping gas pellets
- Antidotes for various poisons
- Kunai
- Shuriken
- Flash Bombs
- Smoke Bombs
Intelligence: Gifted normally. Extraordinary Genius as a Doctor.
A medical genius known the world over as the strongest Kunoichi,[66] and the world's foremost medical expert.[51] She graduated from the Ninja Academy at the tender age of 6,[8] with the average graduation age being 12 years old.[127] Tsunade was able to complete the ChÅ«nin Exam's written test, which included questions involving Trigonometry, Kinematics, among other topics far too advanced for her age group.[128][129] 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 true[128] purpose[129] of the exam. She was acknowledged for her abilities and skill by the likes of HanzÅ, which is how she became one of the Sannin alongside Oorchimaru and Jiraiya.[130] She has been credited as one of the principle reasons that led to Konoha's victory during the Second and Third Shinobi World War[30] 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.[131] She also founded the laws and principles that govern how all Medical Ninja operate.[33] She was considered one of the best candidates for the title of Hokage,[30] and was actually picked for the position. As a Hokage, she was noted to be a very effective leader.[8] She also found out that DanzÅ Shimura was conducting shady dealings behind the scenes, and extremely wary of him and his organization, Root.[44]
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,[66] fully healing Rock Lee's spinal injury[67] which was deemed a hopeless case,[68] 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,[69] analyzed and neutralized the poisons of renowned experts such as Chiyo of the Sand,[5] and much more. She was also noted to be the only one capable of healing Orochimaru's arms,[71][51][72] 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.[71] 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.[132] She was able to synthesize artificial limbs from the cells of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju,[133] 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.[1]
She has the uncanny ability of being able to accurately diagnose someone's physical condition with a mere glance from several meters away.[51] She can also easily spot and identify specific ailments that are affecting her patients without the use of equipment.[52][5]
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.[33] 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.[34] 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.[1] When she runs out of chakra, her transformation technique comes undone and she temporarily loses her youthful appearance.[108] Initially suffered from crippling Hemophobia due to her immense and constant guilt for not being able to save her lover and younger brother,[134] but during her fight with Orochimaru, she was able overcome this.[1] 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.[72] Katsuyu's Remote Healing is linked to Tsunade's chakra reserves, which renders Katsuyu's healing abilities useless if Tsunade is out of chakra.[135]
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.
