Not to mention a Hokage is also a great thinker, something she was known for in Part 1. So yes, all of Team 7 far surpassed their Sannin masters, making them all Kage-level Shinobi Who's to say that Tsunade was Kage level? After all, the council wanted Jiraya to be Hokage. After he refused, he recommended Tsunade. Is there actually any proof that Tsunade was the best person for the job? If anything, you should compare her to Kakashi. If anyone was Kage level, it was him.
