Okay, so this bothers me. Why the hell couldn't Shizune posses similar techniques like Tsunade and Sakura?

Having looked at each Sannin, it's fair to say, from our knowledge, that each Sannin has had one primary apprentice from each generation after their own.

Jiraiya - Minato/Naruto. Orochimaru - Kabuto/Sasuke. Tsunade - Shizune/Sakura.

And to that, each Sannin posses similar jutsu's that they have both taught/learned from the Predecessor/Successor.

Jiraiya - Minato/Naruto - Summoning Technique: Mount Myōboku Toads/Rasengan. Orochimaru - Kabuto/Sasuke - Summoning Technique: Ryūchi Cave Snakes. Tsunade - [but that's where it stops for Shizune] Sakura - Summoning Technique: Shikkotsu Forest Slug, Katsuyu/Chakra Enhanced Strength/Strength of a Hundred Seal.

Apart from Medical Ninjutsu [which Shizune exceeds exceptionally well in], she doesn't posses any techniques similar to that of her Predecessor, Tsunade. Although Tsunade has the utmost confidence in Shizune's Medical Ninjutsu skills, it seems to me as if her abilities are hyped, in the manner that, even if Shizune is a excellent Medical Ninja, she should posses techniques like the Byakugō seal to show for it.

I understand that Tsunade's techniques are based on the level of chakra control, but shouldn't this be something Shizune could easily achieve for the Shizune's status as a excellent Medical Ninja?

I don't know... Sounds unfair that each Successor before each Sannin has atleast something to show for, except for Shizune.
