], he even survived Sabaku Taiso, a by far stronger technique that uses sand masses of the quantity of a surrounding, without getting harmed [

]. Heck, he even survived being buried 200 meters deep with Gaara claiming that such a pressure wouldn't allow him to move a single finger [

Taijutsu and speed
His Taijutsu and speed is indeed incredible, latter surpasses Tsunades significantly. A group of Narutos Kagebunshins, strengthened with Kyuubis Chakra, were eliminated consequently [

+ the following pages]. He kept up with a drunken Lee who used his first gates in terms of Taijutsu and speed pretty easily, and Gaaras sand was avoided with as little effort, too [

Offense
His offense is not only limited to powerful attacks like the Tessenka no Mai: Hana for short range [

], but also techniques like Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru for mid range [

] and finger bullets for long range [

]. The physical power he possesses in Juin 2 allows him to break through Gaaras defenses effortlessly [

], and as if this wasn't enough, his arsenal is expanded with a Ninjutsu that allows him to immediately cover the surroundings with a forest of bones that are shooting out of the ground, in order to pierce anything it gets [

]. In this case, the bone spear and bone forest would leave her killed. His bodycheck with his bones ahead, that pushed away Gaara through his defense, would at least leave Tsunade badly injured.
Defense
Apart from Kimimaros durability and speed, his Kekkei Genkai is a good counter for Tsunades fighting style, a it allows to counter Taijutsu to a high extent by not only averting the victims attacks, but also leave violations on him [

], bones can be grown by him from any part of his body, allowing to even let the bones sprouting from his whole body[

] and even the speed and power of Lee was damped completely [

], leaving him in a situation where he is unable to move and about to be killed by a precise hit [

Furthermore, Kimimaro is blessed with regenerative abilities, given him along with his Kekkei Genkai, that not only controls the growth of bones but also cells. The number of his bones is supposed to be unlimited. He further explains, that his Kekkei Genkai allows him to control the density of calcium, making his bones being harder than steel. His regeneration feats are proven, when he is regenerating his body after taking out bones [

In summary, Kimimaro isn't inferior to Tsunade in any meanings. His Taijutsu rivals her, his speed surpasses her. He also possesses regeneration abilities, that however don't require any seals or waste of Chakra, but are a naturally part of his Kekkei Genkai Consequently, neither wounds or smashed bones will pose a problem for Kimimaro, who will render that useless. His durability is enormous and his offense rivals and even surpasses Tsunades, too, as he has Taijutsu moves for close to long range and a large scale Ninjutsu that can change the surroundings, with a power able to killing the victim with one strike. Of course, Tsunade has proven to smash a body with one punch and even
crack Susanoos ribcage, but as Kimimaros strongest offensive techniques are not the always used, those scales of Tsunades attacks are also not the always used, proved when she was beating up Orochimaru without latter getting knocked completely down and Madara surviving a usual kick of Tsunade without getting hurt [

] - forms of attacks, that however can be avoid by Kimimaro by simply dodging or shooting out bones out of his body. Even if one of Tsunades strongest punches will hit him, he is backed up with his regenerative abilities, hard as steel bones that can grow again and even create an armor of bones that make him survive Sabaku Soso and Sabaku Saiso. Once being hit with one of Kimimaros strongest techniques, Tsunade will die; to come to her regeneration, that requires her seal and has to be activated and yet doesn't preserves her from Kimimaros strongest attacks.
