Tsunade, the legendary Sannin, and Hokage off the hidden leaf, vs Kimmimaro, one of Orochimaru strongest test subject. I will study their weapon armor and skill to see who would win.

Tsunade: The 5th Hokage of the hidden leaf, granddaughter of the first hokage and one of the remaining legendary sannin. Having her title she proves the worthy of those title thanks to her amazing strength. With just one figure she can rupture the ground in front of her. She is also strong enough that she can easily lift Gamabunta's sword, break Jirayia's rips, arm, and almost completely destroy his organs. Tsunade raw strength makes her ability to gather chakra for strength is unknown as she is Naturally strong, it has been stated that she is far stronger than the Raikage, her strength can even shatter one of the many form of Susanoo, with a few punches. When in trouble, She would use her Mitotic Regeneration the Hundred Healings, she there she would have an amazing healing on herself that resembles that of Hashirama Senju, being able to heal her in many injuries that could kill a normal shinobi. She is also able to summon a giant slug that can spit acid, and with that as well can go into small part and heal her if needed, making her a perfect comrade of a medical ninja. She is also a very strategic Shinobi, knowing when too catch one off guard when needed.

Despite these amazing power and titles. Tsunade is still a shinobi with limited chakra. Tsunade also has a temper, not a bad one, but she is known to be a bit reckless towards opponents when needed. This shows towards her fight against pain who she wanted to help Naruto fight after his destruction towards the village. And Madara Uchiha, after his insult towards her she decided to break her own medical ninja rule by using her seal on her forehead. But even that seal is limited, if she uses it for too long she will become greatly weakened and would probably pass out.

Kimimaro: Of the Kaguya Clan, being one of it's member that was born more "normal" than his members, who were all blood thirsty psychopaths! Kimimaro has a Kekkei Genkai known as Shikotsumyakum, which gives its wielder the ability to manipulate their own skeletal structure (their osteoblasts and osteoclasts). By infusing their calcium with chakra, they could manipulate the growth and properties of their bones to their liking, this was the reason why he could never heal from his illness, as it gives the user a unique skeletal structure, that gave no medical information on it. Noted by Orochimaru and Kabuto into being the strongest of the clan, and of the sound four, this is due to him calm nature and personality, allowing him to actually think of strategies. Example while fighting against Rock Lee, who was one of the few people that managed to keeep up with him, he was kind enough to allow Lee to drink his medicine which turned out to be his mistake going against Drunken Lee. But of course he noted that being drunk, he would wake him up by simply hurting him. Of course this was almost impossible, but he managed to do it, after taking so many hits and activating his first stage of the curse seal. He is powerful enough to fight against Gaara, a Jinchuriki of Shukaku, and create a forest of bone. Fast and skilled enough to take down a group of samurai. And strong enough to pull out of Gaara's Sand which is proven very difficult to an average shinobi.

Despite these incredible power, Kimimaro has his loyalty towards Orochimaru that gives him a small temper if his master is insulted. And like all shinobi, he is as well limited in Chakra. He also relies on his Kekkei Genkai way to much, using it for almost everything

After calculating and reading through the two's information, jutsu, and their Ninja data book. My opinion goes to Tsunade. Yes yes I know, Kimimaro is not sick, but nothing stated not even in the wikia has stated that his sickness caused him to be weaker, in fact looking through the fight between Lee, and Gaara, should be remembered that Lee drunken mode was a method of unpredictable movement, where he admits that it is hard to read a move like that. Gaara used a wave of sand, but it only managed to hit because of Kimimaro's shock and anger towards Gaara After Gaara insulted Kimimaro's loyalty to Orochimaru, Kimimaro begins to lose his focus before being buried two hundred metres below the ground, where the pressure can crush even steel. He needed to use his bone forest to break free. Yes, Kimimaro's ability did make him unmatched against Samurais and other shinobi during the 4th shinobi world war, but remember that he was in Edo Tensei, so with unlimited chakra and immortality, of course he would be powerful. Tsunade strength, way of thinking, and her healing comes toe to toe with her opponent, where she could leave them defenceless after taking a deadly blow. Of course with all those abilities the two had, making this fight a very close one. So the winner is Tsunade.
