Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Ranshinshou (Body Pathway Derangement): Tsunade hits a special 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 paralyzing 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 summon, Katsuyu. It can spit acid or heal others by dividing 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 abilities 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 Infuin (Yin Seal) can even protect the villagers from an attack that was capable of leveling a city.
