Tsunade is not only taijutsu. She is also intelligent, highly observant and analytical, allowing her to see through most deceptions as well as sometimes making better strategies than the advisers. Take example Pein's arc and now, Madara fight.honestly tsunade is essentially all taijutsu , with medical influences like being able to scramble someones nervous system, but 3 tomoe sharingan predicts moves so well that i dont think shell land a hit, but you have to keep in mind she has katsuya, im not sure how a 3 tomoe itachi takes down that summon besides amatersu/susanoo, but hes a master in genjutsu as well aside from ms, it may not even make it to the point where tsunade would summon katsuya , shes has excellent chakra control but would she be able to break herself out of a 3 tomoe genjutsu? possibly but itachi would use that opening to take her out. in the end i think itachi can take her but if she summons katsuya he would have to use ms, or be brilliant like he is, whatever xd
Jiraiya commented that no one could stand equal to her in terms of combat and medical prowess.
Many say that she is slow, but once again, as I said her reaction speed is even on tier with Naruto and A (2 of the fastest characters in Narutoverse)

If she can keep it on tier with those two, what makes you think she can't tank Itachi's speed on hand-seals?
Well a Kunai could slice her IF it would reach her and I already gave example that once you get near her, you can't sly her.@chatte couldnt a kunai slice her still? like after genjutsu in a manner that orochimaru got his hand cut off?
she may have the medical skills, chakra control, and katsuyu possibly by her side if itachi allowed that to be summoned early on without already casting genjutsu in his fashinable manner; but how do those things help her from being sliced? the genjutsu would naturally slow her down wouldnt it? even if she has help to get out, will she be able to see the next casted genjutsus? itachi doesnt just end after one i wouldnt think. i look at how he and sasuke fought strictly genjutsu. he stopped because sasuke was able to see through it with his sharingan. is tsunade also seeing it through as quickly as sasuke? if so then i would say nevermind to the slicing.
If she would be caught in a genjutsu, it could slow her movements... But slow her. And as showed her reaction speed is quite fast, I don't know how down she could go on not moving.
She can knock people out without using her strength...

Yes, that was a battle strictly based on Genjutsu, I grant you that but Sasuke walked in like a fool, to be honest (I'm going to get flamed by the fanboys here, lol) as he knew with who he was fighting.
He should've taken that in consideration as no. 1 priority at avoiding when fighting his brother.
Plus, he looked into his eyes.
It is clearly stated that you need to look into the eyes of the user to get caught on Tsukyomi.
I bet she could be fighting him without looking at him just using her surroundings as Tsunade has been shown to acknowledge and make use of her surroundings.
