I hear a lot say that if Tsunade gets trapped in the shark dome she'll eventually drown, same with all other opponents that should ever face Kisame in these vs battles.

Problem with that is that Tsunade is one of, if not the physically strongest character in the series, all she needs to do, is punch the water in Kisame's general direction and it would create a shockwave, which in turn would move him to the side and thus move the giant water prison aswell. Using that technique isn't an instantaneous win for Kisame in this case. it's more like a humongous chakra drain and even with his reserves that's going to be felt.

In close combat it might appear that Kisame has the advantage because of Samahada, but that is not the case, Tsunade is as a master medic nin fully adept at avoiding hits, and even if she got hurt, that woman has proven to be able to shrug off damage like few others in the series. Besides punching his lights out she can use her Body Pathway Derangement to scramble his ability to move properly (although admitedly, Kisame's ability to absorb chakra could mitigate that tech.).

But on the subject of Chakra absorbtion, while Samehada can do that, Tsunade has access to the strenght of a hundred seal which literally gives her access to 100 times her normal chakra. He can suck all he want, it isn't going too hel him in the least. In fact, given Samehada's gluttonous nature, it might very well leave Kisame for Tsunade at the drop of a hat.

if it's summonings then Tsunade can counter any shark with Katsuyu, which can split up in more smaller slugs than Kisame and his sharks can keep track of.

Besides, Kisame opted out of a battle against Jiraiya, a guy whom Tsunade, assumingly in their prime, was able to beat within an inch of his life (though it's unknown whether or not he fought back). Considering that it has been heavily hinted that there is not a "strongest" member of those 3, Kisame would most likely opt out of a battle with Tsunade aswell.

While Kisame is a heavy hitter, he's not winning against Tsunade, not by a longshot.
