Why was this summoning combo called the three way deadlock? And how were the summoning power inter-related with each other. Snake> Toad but how does the slug fit? Can anyone explain this??

It's called a three way deadlock because Slugs are afraid of Toads, Toads are afraid of Snaked and Snakes are afraid of Slugs :sdo:

Toad > slug
Slug > snake
Snake > toad

Snakes kinda beat both. Just look at Oro vs Jiraya/ Tsunade for reference.

Well, that's in accordance to the anime. But the meaning behind the three-way deadlock, and why they are toads, snakes and slugs, is because

Toad > slug
Slug > snake
Snake > toad

I see tsunade as a deciding factor in that scan.

Your right, if the snake can't handle the slugs summoner then it definitely can handle the summonee' but more then that Katsuyu' counters anything Manda or some other snake throws at her.

True Katsuyu is low key invincible.

Snake doing sneaky strike and can strike from under ground + bind target
Frog can spew out water canon and using sword to fight ahead
Slug can tank any physical attack then split to heal the other two
