In this thread I want to take into consideration EVERYTHING that can be classified as medical ninjutsu, medical techniques and things that revolve around medicine etc.

Tsunade:
a) probably the strongest 'single target' heal in the series;
b) mass healing with help from other characters (Katsuyu);
c) vast medical knowledge;
d) knows how to manipulate electricity in nervous system;
e) chakra scapels;
f) decent poison knowledge;
g) conditional, but powerful regeneration (Byakugou);
h) can perform complex and difficult surgeries.

Orochimaru:
a) vast medical knowledge;
b) impressive poison knowledge and usage;
c) body modifications;
d) strongest and most reliable regeneration and self-healing abilities in the series (White Snake Powers)
e) 8branches technique (which was called 'the pinnacle of regeneration' in Databook);
f) ability to recreate own body in an instant;
g) can perform complex and difficult surgeries;
h) DNA manipulation;
i) can recreate things out of cells and tissue;
j) cloning;
k) creating human x animal hybrids;
l) creating medical pills and drugs.


So what do you think, guys? I know it's obvious that Tsunade is better as your 'typical med nin', who is there just to heal. But what if we go deeper?

Lmao didn't Orochimaru go to Tsunade because she was the best medical ninja in the World or something? Obviously she is.

Tsunade's specialty is Iryō Ninjutsu, she'll obviously be far superior to Orochimaru.

She may be the best at healing other people (I even stated that), but is that really all that Medical stuff in Naruto consists of?

Also, this thread is not about who is the best healer.

Medics are mainly "healers" which you do understand it has always been the case.

Since Orochimaru falls short in that criteria, he can't even be put beside a mediocre Medic.

He's not exactly a surgeon. Can he fix people if they have a fractured or cure an unknown disease?

Tsunade> as a healer, Orochimaru is more of a Dr. Frankenstein.

It's still Tsunade. She doesnt just have better healing feats but her knowledge is about as extensive as Orochimaru's. She simply doesn't use the darker forms of medical ninjutsu.

Oro has a great deal of medical knowledge for sure. It even rivals Tsunade's no doubt. But Tsunade trumps because:

1)She created the Byakugou (at least it was stated she did)

2)She revolutionized the medical ninjutsu field. The whole reason most teams in the five great nations have a medical Ninja on their team is directly because of Tsuna

3) she was able to use Hashirama's cells to the same extent as Oro did where regrowing limbs are concerned.

Basically if Tsuna is the Jedi of the medical field then Orochimaru would be the Sith of that same field.

Tsunade is still better. She is the greatest doctor in Narutoverse. Orochimaru is the greatest scientist. Besides Orochimaru himself was sure Tsunade could heal and restore part of his soul (the arms) that Hiruzen sealed away and there's nothing higher than that level of healing. The soul itself. Unbelievable.

This pretty much sums it tup

Why not? She's far superior to anything in medical ninjutsu.

Orochimaru may have vast knowledge, even more so than her, but he wasn't trained in medical ninjutsu since day 1.

There's a large gap between having knowledge and having experience.

Tsunade managed to obscure her intents via medical ninjutsu from Orochimaru while Kabuto registered it right away and even Orochimaru selected Kabuto specifically for his skills in medical ninjutsu. He prepared a damn medical facility just for Kabuto.

Tsunade > Kabuto > Orochimaru
