It would seem that Tsunade's stamina is hard to gauge in part 2 because of the way she has used her chakra in part 2. So I wish to break down the feats that plenty of us know into more palpable terms.

So Tsunade's first real stamina feat in part 2 was during Pein's invasion. Many people don't truly realize how much chakra she used. They simply remember her passing out from chakra exhaustion.

Pein Arc
So her use of chakra began by her summoning Katsuyu.

Why is this notable. People summon all the time. While some people do summon often, what we managed to learn during Naruto's training by Jiraiya is that larger summons require more chakra to bring forth.

The reason we can know this is because Naruto had been summoning tadpoles for days with the amount of chakra he had been using but didn't summon Bunta until he used Kurama's chakra. And Jiraiya showed us what happens when the proper amount of chakra isn't used for a summoning

Now it's evident that used a sizeable amount of chakra to summon Katsuyu. But how large is Katsuyu? She is nearly the size of a bijuu. How can I say that bijuus are huge. For this explanation, I need you to bear with me for just a bit. We know that Katsuyu is larger than Gamabunta and not just slightly. She would be approximately 1.5 times his size.

But why are we discussing Gamabunta? We've now seen Gamabunta go against Bijuus on two occasions so the way to compare Katsuyu's size to the bijuus is to use Gamabunta as the ruler. This is Gamabunta directly next to the 1 tails

and Bunta with the 9 tails

Now we can conclusively say Katsuyu is larger than Gamabunta. Gamabunta is nearly the same size as the one tails. And his size is comparable to the 9 tails. Which would mean Katsuyu would more likely then be larger than the 1 tails. And the amount of chakra to summon such a large creature would be immense.
The Pein arc is pretty simplistic in her feats once you fully understand the gravity of said feats. Her next feat was using Katsuyu to attend to the villagers. Why is this impressive. So it is a given that healing requires a lot of chakra.

So much so that Kabuto was unable to heal from Naruto's rasengan.

You may say. Well duh Naruto's rasengan is totally baws. Fair enough but the reason this is remarkable is because Kabuto had just taken a soldier pill which is said to allow you to fight for 3 days.

So even with the chakra boost he still couldn't heal from the rasengan. Keep this in mind I'll be using this later. Yet Tsunade managed to heal most of the villagers. How do we know that she healed the majority and what is the majority of the villagers? Tsunade expected Katsuyu to attach herself to every villager and shinobi.

Now we know that Katsuyu didn't do that as Nagato had to resurrect some. (though we do have to take into account a lot of people have died before Katsuyu got there like Kakashi or sometimes there was nothing that could be done like when Pein soul ripped shizune). and we know she didn't reach every one as Tsunade said Katsuyu is attending to the majority of the villagers.

Tsunade healed those villagers continually throughout the attack. And did a mass healing pouring her entire reserve into healing after Chou Shinra Tensei. But we still haven't fully grasped how many villagers and shinobi there are in Konoha. Konoha is the military city in the Fire Country. Konoha houses the majority of the fire country's shinobi as Tsunade is in charge of the fire country's shinobi. The joint allied shinobi forces total 80k people.
You must be registered for see images
Among that you have shinobi from each of the five villages and samurai. There are probably less samurai than everyone else but for the sake of skepticism let's say that every put equal amounts into the army. 80000/6 would be 13, 333 people. It is konoha policy not to allow genins in war. Which would mean they're shinobi force would probably be around 14 thousand. Now in order to be a shinobi, they would need to get missions. The person who receives missions to give is the hokage. So it's safe to assume all shinobi either live in or near konoha for the sake of their livelihoods. We must also take into account that not everyone in konoha is a shinobi. There are shop keepers such as the ramen guy. There are various merchants, tailors, bankers, inn keepers and so forth. So let's continue to be skeptical and say that because konoha is mostly a military based city that there are only about 6 thousand civilians. ( Which is low balling it. I think. I think what Konoha has is a lot like what DC, and other nation's capitols have. Higher standards of living bring more people. And Higher standards of living seem to exist in the larger cities) So now we've agreed upon the conservative number of 20,000 people in or close to Konoha. The majority of people then would be over 10,000 at least and that is still a low ball estimate. To heal so many people is a testament to her stamina

The next major feat we'll consider is the War Arc.
War Arc
Tsunade's fist notable feat was using Creation Rebirth when she arrived to the battlefield.

We've already talked about healing using a lot of chakra so I won't talk much about that. The next notable thing she does in terms of stamina is heal Gaara and Oonoki and give them chakra.

But Taz, how can you know she gave them Chakra? They had just exhausted themselves because of Madara's attacks.

In fact Oonoki was so drained he not only had trouble standing up but also fell back down.
You must be registered for see images
also based on what Naruto said we can infer that she was giving them chakra as well.

If the clone needed wounds healed so badly it would have already disappeared. So why was there a threat of it disappearing? Because it had used so much chakra.

What does this tell us? It tells us that Tsunade is capable of handling the fatigue they had and their chakra expenditure up until that point. Which would include Oonoki's battles since leaving the situation room and Gaara's battles.

This slide is actually very important as it gives you an idea of how many Jintons were used.

Tsunade then enters the fray herself. Which is bound to fatigue and she activates Byakugou

She shortly after was impaled.

And after she healed from that and tanked and healed from three Yasaka Magatamas.

She then continues to actively fight 5 Madara clones which at some point that they are off screen begin using susanoo

At some point she is impaled by another 2 swords.

Now at this point it is notable to mention how many self wounds she has healed since she used the first creation rebirth when she got on the battlefield. Now compare this to Kabuto who even with a soldier pill could not heal from Naruto's rasengan and you'll realize how much chakra actually went into healing herself. When one thinks about all the jutsus Gaara and Oonoki used before Tsunade got there and realize that Tsunade had enough chakra to replenish their reserves we can begin to appreciate her reserves. She then goes on to heal and replenish Mei. That's three kages who's chakra she replenished with her own. But she isn't done. She went on to boost Oonoki's Jinton to proportions we've never seen it at.
You must be registered for see images
We know Jinton requires a sizable amount of chakra because when split in half Muu can no longer use Jinton. Tsunade's final feat before she herself receives chakra is tanking and healing from Madara's Katon.

But in order to appreciate the full power of those 5 heads look at what just one head did during Sasuke's fight with Itachi

when Sasuke fired another a large section of the roof began to collapse

My point being this is an extremely powerful technique, one the databook says has the capability to turn people in ash, yet Tsunade tanked 5 of these and healed from them. It's also worth noting the gokage battle waged on for a very long time.

So now hopefully, all can see that Tsunade is a complete stamina monster.

Of course, Tsunade is a stamina beast, she is a senju after all.

Whoa, That Was a Great Read.
Thanks Taz.
Tsunade Has Massive Amounts Of Chakra, because she is Both Senju and Uzumaki. A
And her Stamina is Impressive.
I didn't Notice the Panel When She was Impaled by another two Swords.

Beautiful :')

Tsunade is a beast. But her vitality is something that astounds me. I'm assuming that life force comes from her uzumaki lineage considering she is in half and can still talk.

Tsunade's Chakra level is 4. The techniques she showed during one fight were not exhausting at all. If Itachi spammed exhausting Mangekyo tehcniques with an illness and a Chakra level of 2,5; as well as Sasuke kept up Susanoo for the 10 minutes of Izanagi, while using Amaterasu and Genjutsu and using the Mangekyo even after the fight with Danzo against his former team, what makes you think the moves Tsunade made are consider her to have larger chakra than the databook might display? Healing people or boosting them a bit isn't equaled to have so much Chakra. And summoning technique? Are you for real? In your own scan, Shizune merely speaks about Chakra control but not the amount used to summon. Summoning technique is not a feat that should be given to Tsunade. People with smaller Chakra already did it, too. + Tsunade is storing up Chakra in her seal all the time. Sure, her regenerative abilities are quite impressive, but no one told how much Chakra it actually consumes, plus, it's partially the Chakra he stored up in her seal, seeing it being the center of her Byakugo. Comparing Madara's Gouryuuka no Jutsu with Sasuke's is also futile. Just compare the two scans you've posted, Madara's Katon doesn't even have the size of himself, while Sasuke's fire dragons exceed Itachi's size clearly.

Nice thread but I have to spread rep before giving it to you.

Anyway I say Tsunade probably has higher chakra reserves than Nagato since killing people requires much less chakra than actively healing them.

She does store a lot of chakra in her Yin seal on her forehead so that is one reason she gets the chakra to constantly heal even though healing consumes a huge amount of chakra.

Bare in mind, however, the Raikage mentioned that Tsunade's fighting style was becoming sloppy so it goes to show her method of fighting still has drawbacks despite being a chakra beast.

Also there are many more in Konoha than you say because it was mentioned that out of all the academy students in Naruto's year, only nine made it to genin (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shino, Kiba, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino and Chouji). Team Gai already graduated a year ago so they aren't included in the figure. So it is fair to infer that there are three times more academy students than there are genin.

Bare in mind, Naruto's generation were so a drop out rate of 2/3 is pretty huge. Furthermore, out of all the that participated in the chunin exams, only one became a chunin. In other words, you are underestimating the large quantity of genins and academy students in Konoha.

Wow, a lotta work was put in this. Well done.

And I completly forgot about soldier pills. . . Why don't shinobi take them currently. . ? Or did Kishi just forget about 'em?

Databooks are not useful for stat purposes really because Gaara who has a 5 in chakra had his chakra replenished by Tsunader ergo, something is off.

"Healing people or boosting them a bit isn't equaled to have so much Chakra.Sure, her regenerative abilities are quite impressive, but no one told how much Chakra it actually consumes, plus, it's partially the Chakra he stored up in her seal, seeing it being the center of her Byakugo." So I've demonstrated that healing requires a lot of chakra. Look again at my example with Kabuto, the soldier pill, and the rasengan. So we can get a good idea of how much chakra it takes to heal. Boosting a bit? I think someone may be underexpressing how much she boosted that Jinton. Her reserves in her forehead are still a part of her chakra reserves, its simply a part that she has sealed away. It's not for instance chakra from an unnatural or outside source.

I'm sorry did you compare 10 minutes (not even a full ten minutes as Danzo did turn off his Izanagi) to Tsunade's part 2 stamina feats? Yes MS techs require a lot of chakra but so do almost of the jutus we've seen from Tsunade.

And yes summoning large animals require a lot of chakra which I demonstrated. We can count on our hands the number of people who use large summons: Sannin, Naruto, Sasuke (formerly), Kabuto, Danzo, and Minato

Part one Kabuto, who wasn't much of a stamina beast as demonstrated by his inability to heal from Naruto's rasengan managed to wear Tsunade down by constantly dodging her punches.

His entire strategy was based on him managing to outlast Tsunade after taking soldier pills which boost a shinobi's chakra by twofold.
