@Legendary Super Saiya-Jin 4 "She trained Sakura in the art of evasion and reading your opponent's moves." But Sakura is a bad fighter and is regarded as one of the worse combat characters and honestly it's a reflection of Tsunade. Madara used Susano'o because her punches were strong, not so much because of her speed. Madara had said so himself that Tsunade was slow in comparison to Raikage, but stronger. Infact, the only person Madara noted as being fast out of the entire five kage was the Raikage. When did Ay and Tsunade coordinate together in a way where it'd be a speed feat for Tsunade? And okay, she pressured a Madara that was going easy and he uses Susano'o on pretty much.. All attacks, except for a few. He uses Susano'o to block high damage, not intercept speed seeing as though he blocked Raikage's lightning attack but let Susano'o intercept Tsunade's unless you're gonna argue she's faster than Ay.

She didn't survive an encounter with Madara's legged Susano'o really.. Both of her sides were absolutely pierced with their swords. Her entire main body was filled with the girth of Susano'os swords. She would've been Ko'd/dead if it wasn't for her seal and she was displayed coughing up blood throughout the entire ordeal. Naturally Tsunade's speed isn't particularly bad. It's just in comparison to Kimimaro's and other taijutsu users it is and same with Sakura. Your statements on Katsuyu are solid.

See, the thing about Tsunade is that for her role as Hokage she is bad. Hashirama, Minato, Tobirama and Hiruzen all dwarf her in terms of performance. What does she have that sets her apart? Not only that but with the five kages for her time she was also still the worse. She might have been the strongest kunoichi but they rest of them were bad too. Being the best noob, still means that you're a noob. She did heal Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi. Point proven there but she's a medical ninja. We're speaking from a combative standpoint. When it comes to fighting what does she have except for strength? Her speed is decent, but isn't good enough to be entirely honest. Kabuto was able to dodge her around fairly well and Kimimaro is far faster than him. Kimimaro was dodging Gaara's sand from multiple angles while attacking at the same time. His prowess in dexterity and coordination was highly impressive. I believe he could run circles around her, if not then close to it.

@Rachin123 I apologize for the lengthy post but I had to add it in otherwise it couldn't be be posted. Remember the time Gaara and Rock Lee fought? When Rock Lee removed those weights from his ankles it was stated that he was moving near the speed of sound and Gaara's sand was keeping up with Rock lee's movements. Not only that but remember Dosu from part 1? He used sound as attacks and Gaara's sand was able to intercept it. Gaara's sand also intercepted Sasuke's Amateratsu and blocked Raikage's gullitine drop. If Gaara's sand isn't speed of sound then it's near it. All the feats point in that direction.
