There are so many misconceptions about this match that people think Kisame easily wins. I am about show otherwise. Sorry Kisame fans I guess I am downgrading him since he is going to have a very hard time against Tsunade here OR we could upgrade Tsunade because she has the ability to take on Kisame.

Chakra Absorption
Tsunade's whole arsenal outright counters Kisame's absorption abilities and makes it useless.
Tsunade does not use chakra enhanced strength as they call it. She has natural strength and just uses taijustu. CES which is a fan term wasnt a thing till the beginning of part 2 when

to show chakra build up in her fist to make strong explosion punches. Tsunade has never shown to use that technique. Only the anime has depicted her as using it.

Main text
All of her body's "outrageous strength" is concentrated into her heel. Her stance crystallizes the body's dynamics in a magnificent demonstration of the art of hand to hand combat. And when her heel swings downward, it's as if a comet had fallen!! Nothing and no one could receive a direct hit and avoid pulverization.
Caption
-The heel swung down in anger makes the ground rumble in kind with an ultra-hard smackdown!!
Picture comment
-The remainder of the impact smashed not only the ground, but the nearby rampart into tiny bits...!!\

Now even if you want to argue she uses chakra then Samehada still cant absorb her attacks. Samehada has only ever shown to absorb external forms of chakra[

Its simply too dangerous for Kisame to get close to Tsunade and grab her to absorb her chakra because she could easily break Kisame's bones with her ridiculous strength.[

Chakra absorption is useless against Katsuyu in her liquid form as long as Tsunade is touching her. Liquid Katsuyu was used to allow the Shinobi alliance to fight against the

Samehada
Since her attacks dont use chakra then Samehada if it is used to block will take the full blunt force attack which would crush it. Kisame also has no idea of the strength Tsunde has so he would likely use Samehada to defend. Samehada's best durability feat is surviving a

, the liquid forms around a person plus its only logical if she can deconstruct then she can reconstruct. As long as Tsunade touches Katsuyu in her liquid form they share Tsunade's Byakugo reserves. This is clear because the Shinobi alliance was given chakra as it was absorbed, its not like some justu where a certain amount of chakra was given. Katsuyu was directly connected to the reserve, if she wasnt then the process wouldnt have been so quick, chakra would have to transfer from Tsunade to Katsuyu then to the shinobi alliance member which is way slower than what happened.
Kisame's sensing will be useless, he wont know where Tsunade actually is, all he will feel is one big Tsunade from Katsuyu's liquid. This allows Katsuyu to move Tsunade to the edge of the dome without Kisame knowing for her to

Another strategy would be waiting for Kisame to jump into Katsuyu's liquid like he did to Bee's ink[

Countering Water dome is even easier if Samehada was taken care of before as then Kisame has

Yes the Magatama are not the same size however if you scale the two different situations the smaller magatama should have cut into Tsunade like the bigger ones did to the defense.

From this you see that most of Kisame's justus cant scale to Katsuyu who could deconstruct over them to overpower them with her own liquid.

Now the amount he does make can be matched against 1000 Katsuyu clones. Now you can compare the size[

Killing Kisame
Kisame is very durable having survived initially a V2 Lariat from Bee with his chest blown open, a hirudora due to water pressure making it smaller, and a punch from 7th gate Gai. Kisame could still move after the latter two. Kisame was shown to be able to heal his chest being blow open but only after Samehada gave him

, this is clear if you look at the size of samehada

and

the healing.
Tsunade was able to kick open a Susano which would severely injure Kisame who with Samehada wont be able to heal that extent of an injury no matter how much chakra was taken in because its not as strong as bijuu chakra. So Tsunade would deal more damage than Bee's attack and Kisame wont be able to heal to the extent that he did at that time against Bee.
At any point where either Kisame or Samehada get proofed to Shikkotsu forest they will be melted by acid from Katsuyu(95%)
