Abilities
"As if a medic ninja like her could delay your death for more than a couple seconds. Your techniques are worthless if compared to those of Senju Hashirama. He could heal his wounds without forming hand seals... and all his techniques were on a different scale than yours. People called him the strongest shinobi."

- Madara Uchiha comparing Tsunade to Hashirama.
