Temari is a better fighter than Tsunade.

Temari's DC>>Tsunade's.
Temari's range>>>Tsunade's.
Kamatari>>>>Katsuyu in speed/AoE/DC.

Not to mention Temari is more talented and skilled compared to Tsunade. Temari ended up analysing Shikamaru's abilities rather easily whereas Tsunade tends to charge her opponent without analysing their abilities. This goes to show Temari is more level headed and thoughtful in combat than Tsunade.

Also it's hard to land a hit on Temari whereas Tsunade gets tagged in combat rather easily. Last but not least, Temari has a much easier time landing a hit on her opponent than Tsunade.

Sorry but Temari will never live up to Tsunade's hype and abilities. Simply listing their feats next to each other Temari hardly compares. I dont think this post is serious so I wont make a lengthy reply.

Obviously... since Temari fights at a long range and Tsunade fights close range.

Actually Ice I have few questions. Since Tsunade has been in two actual battles in the manga, one against Kabuto & Orochimaru, and the other against Madara how do you imagine that Temari's analysis of Shikamaru's style is comparable to Tsunade. Here is what I mean, against Kabuto, she faced a medical nin, Tsunade is basically the pioneer of medical ninjutsu what exactly what she supposed to analyze about Kabuto's fighting style? Or what of Orochimaru?
She knew he couldn't use jutsu, and she's witnessed his physical abilities, what should she have analyzed there. Or when she fought Madara, she again had knowledge that he possessed Mokuton, Katon, Sharingan, and Rinnegan and she was aware of the implications of those abilities. The only thing she couldn't gauge was the degree to which he could manifest his power (Flower Tree World, PS), so in your description of Temari's analysis skills, you neglect to mention, there is no frame of reference for Tsunade. In order to know what her analytical abilities are like she'd have to face someone she hadn't already had information on which doesn't seem to happen.

In reference to your last paragraph, I imagine, that Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Madara could all tag Temari. If you switch Tsunade and Temari in battle, Tsunade could handle every scenario Temari has been it, granted she may not be as good of a counter, but she'd make it. The same cannot be said in reverse, if Temari found herself facing the odds Tsunade had she'd be tagged and killed far easier.

Though, I'd concede that Temari has longer range than Tsunade, which is hardly important as Temari is a distance fighter.
While Kamatari may have a greater blast range, it is far less useful than Katsuyu. Not only is Katsuyu capable of healing, and spitting acid, but she can divide a large number of times and allow Tsunade to surround her opponent, or scout the landscape, especially with their telepathic connection. Further, Katsuyu's ability to liquefy creates terrific offensive strategies against those who fight CQC. In addition to Katsuyu's ability to serve as a defensive summon.

Also if we talk pure destructive force, Tsunade may still take Temari on that front. As I don't imagine Temari having the destructive force to tear through Susano, or to hurt Manda for that matter.

Well first off Tsunade doesn't have the same feats and is more hot headed compared to Temari. Despite Temari getting (his opponent) and the fact that he kept on running away or hiding instead of fighting head on, Temari still managed to keep her cool and analyse Shikamaru's actions and abilities. On the other hand when Tsunade gets pissed, without .

Secondly, I read both their databook entries and it basically states Tsunade is very rough and also talented/smart. On the other hand, the same was said about Temari but it emphasizes more on Temari's talent/intelligence/skill and doesn't talk as much about Temari's boldness.

Temari's second databook entry:
Databook 2 - Temari:

Top left picture, speech:
私は来たばかりだ
I just got here.

奴の能力と戦闘スタイルに分析を加えて || 今の状況を簡潔に説明しろ
Give me a brief description of the current situation || and an analysis of her abilities and fighting style.

Top left picture, caption:
危機的状況下でも、決して慌てることのないテマリ。綿密な分析が、勝利への礎となる。
Even in a crisis, Temari never panics. A detailed analysis is the keystone to victory.

Big heading:
砂の轟風 大胆華麗に吹き荒れん!!
A fearless and glorious thundering tempest of sand!!

2nd paragraph:
あの我愛羅とカンクロウの姉だけあって、風を操るその実力は相当なもの。状況を冷静に観察しながらも、ここ ぞと見れば一気に動く。戦闘におけるバランス感覚は、姉弟中一番だろう。
Being the older sister of Gaara and Kankurō, her own ability of wind control is formidable. She surveys the situation calmly, and moves the instant she spots an opening. Her sense of balance in combat is probably the best out of her siblings.

2nd picture, caption:
←巨大扇子から巻き起こる風は、戦況に応じ様々な効果を発揮。攻防自在の、テマリの得意忍術。
The wind blown up by her giant fan controls various effects depending on the situation. It is Temari’s speciality ninjutsu, combining attack and defense.

How was that?

3rd picture, caption:
音忍を倒し得意気なテマリ。この笑顔もまた彼女の一面なのだ。
Temari, glowing proudly after defeating a Sound shinobi. This smile is another side of her.

3rd paragraph:
好戦的で残虐性ばかりが目立つテマリだが、時折、子供のような無邪気な表情を見せることもある。また、弟二 人を持つ姉の立場からか、他人を気遣う優しい一面も持ち合わせている。
Temari’s cruel and warlike nature stands out. However, at times, she has an innocent childlike expression. Also, perhaps because she has two younger brothers, a part of her is kind and considerate of others.
The bold just supports my point and I doubt Tsunade will analyse a situation on Tsunade's level.

Tsunade's second databook entry:
Databook 2 - Tsunade:
Tsunade (pg 104-109)

Pg 104

This can’t be happening…

Brash, free spirited, monstrous strength, no one can stop princess Tsunade. She is the legendary ninja who has touched upon the very limits of medicine.

As one of the legendary three sannins, tales of her heroism echo on the battlefield and her efforts in expanding the medical field have made numerous accomplishments. The name Tsunade that is imbued with legendary magnificence is a ninja of the Leaf. She is the idol of many kunoichis. But she, the object of this admiration, is one of those rare individuals who is not limited by being a woman ninja nor by any other constraints of a ninja. Her personality is precipitous and free, more stubborn than a man's as well as showy, not to mention a gambling addict. If her admirers should hear about her life as a gambler, perhaps their idolatry will fade away in an instant.

As the grand daughter of the First Hokage, her name is the frequent subject of news.

(Pic of Jiraya talking)
“During that terrifying period of the ninja wars, we were able to declare the Leaf’s victory. The combat then and medical jutsus are yet to be matched. Also, as the grand daughter of the First and the one who inherited the most traditional blood in the Leaf…”

But behind that flashy personality, an almost diffident(shy) friendliness is hidden. There is none who can match her love for her village and for those who are special to her. This gap between her outer and inner self is the secret to her charm that can never wilt!

Even though she is always impetuous(brash), her truly terrifying moment is when she has anger deep inside her. Her expression and glow of her eyes right before her eruption have the intensity to make anyone afraid.

Ninja Registration: 002302

Height: 163.1 cm, weight: 48.9 kg, b/t: B
Personality: Brash, gambling addict
Likes: Chicken breast, alcohol
Dislikes: raw liver
Wants to fight: Naruto Uzumaki
Favorite saying: Get rich quick!
Hobbies: gambling

Graduation ninja academy: 6 yrs
Chunnin: ?
Assignment ranking: D:40, C:236, B: 467, A: 418, S: 95

Pg 106
(Just about her passion for gambling. Not really worth knowing)

Her exceptional bad luck! But her once in a while winnings, could they be indicators of an ominous future?
(Pic of toad, snake and slug on the gambling slot machine.)

(Pic of Shizune smiling with Tonton)-her special existence to Tsunade is beyond that of a servant.

Servant
For the naturally brash and free style Tsunade, she cannot do without the rational and organized Shizune. On days Tsunade is drowning in gambling, wine and sadness, her(Shizune’s) understanding and devotion have supported her throughout.

Pg 107

Orochimaru
She never thought of him as a companion even during the period of the Three Sannins. His evil eyes which never change through time are not what Tsunade likes. But the offer that he proffers weakens her. Without putting down a decision she is lead into an evil plan.

He lures her with the mentioning of ‘her most precious ones.” Towards the raging Tsunade, he continues to talk. “I can bring back your beloved brother and love.”

Jiraya
Unlike Orochimaru, she knows Jiraya well. So when he requests with sincerity in his eyes her acceptance to be inaugurated as the 5th Hokage, she recognizes the danger her village is in but….


Uzumaki Naruto
Rudeness, simplicity, ‘dreams’-all that Naruto has used to be by Tsunade’s side. And everything she lost in the war. And once again, she sees them. The image of her loved ones show up clearly in her mind.

pg 108

The past hidden within

(Pic of Naruto receiving necklace)
Passing on the Hokage’s necklace is an act of her strong love.

In the violence of the war, many ninjas lost their lives and many sorrows mounted in this world of fighting.

The scars from the war
The soft kiss on the forehead, as if she were blessing the future

The one she loved the most in this period of war…. Her brother Nawaki and Dan were both lost to her. A pain that seems to crush her half of her body, a phobia of warm blood and an emptiness that cannot be filled take root in her mind.

It was because she loved them more than anyone else that the pain of loss is so great. And the will that is left behind….

The heart that does not weaken

What Tsunade wanted back in her heart... the dreams of the ones she loved most. These do not fade in her heart but continue to shine. Always she looked upon these dreams in her heart hoping they would come true as well as her love that never grows less.

Pg 109

The final bet
A will lives on through the one who inherits it. Nawaki’s and Dan’s dreams are alive burns brightly in the dreams of one boy whose eyes resembles theirs . Tsunade leaves her necklace to Naruto believing one day, he will make those dreams come true.

The 5th Hokage
Her fate(mission) burns more brightly in her chest after the fight. Her role is to protect Naruto who has inherited the dreams of her loved ones. That is why she must protect the largest tree known as Konoha. That is why the new ninja path as the 5th Hokage is engraved in her heart.

The will that was glowing in the darkness of her sorrow is given fuel by one Naruto Uzumaki and enflames once more her life’s purpose. Her life’s mission is to protect Naruto and the Leaf Village as long as she is titled, Hokage. Tsunade’s vows to devote all of herself including her own life in order to fulfill her mission, are channeled into strength which uphold her. She who was adulated as the Three Sannins, the strongest ninja who put fear into the hearts of enemies far away, is once more revived!
From what I bolded, it seems like Tsunade isn't very rational and needs Shizune as an assistant much like Hashirama needs the smarter Tobirama and Naruto needs Shikamaru.

Temari's 3rd databook entry:
Databook 3 - Temari:
Main text:

The only female among the Three Sand Siblings. With one sweep from her large fan, she creates a swirling sandstorm that mows down anything and everything. Temari, whose conduct and speech used to be immature, who kept putting up an aggressive front, is now a Jounin. Considering her great competence, added to her position as the previous Kazekage's daughter, her opportunities to join important missions have drastically increased. As a result, Temari is developing a sense of responsibility and the attitude of someone who looks out for those around her.

Along with Kankurou, she provides support to Gaara, who became Kazekage. But not only that, she works in coordination with the allied village of Konoha, supervising the training of the younger recruits, among other things. Temari is currently growing into a necessary, indispensable presence for her village.

Captions, in Japanese reading order:

Don't get mouthy, you pack of lowly grunts!

The budding spirit of a troop commander, the princess of the Wind grows even more in vehemence!!

Pictures and comments, in Japanese reading order:

- Temari: I'll go!

- She leaves for Konoha, to act as the village's emissary during the Chuunin exams. In order to adopt Konoha's educational policies, she enthusiastically follows the formation of the newer recruits.

- Her reaction to Kankurou's being defeated has changed. In the past, she would have blamed him for his poor judgment.

Temari: Naruto... You're really a strange fellow. You have the power to change people.
- She openly acknowledges Naruto's aura, the one that influences people around him, and has caused a real revolution in Sunagakure. Temari herself has been changed as well.

Temari: Gaara... How do you feel?
- Temari's grown both in mind and body, becoming a good and influential sister towards her little brothers. However, isn't she a bit too much of a mother hen when it comes to Gaara?
So according to the 3rd databook, Temari is even more levelheaded and rational than before.

Tsunade's 3rd databook entry:
Main text:

The first female Hokage since the foundation of the Leaf village. Strong and talented, she was once hailed as one of the Sannin, along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya. With her inauguration as Godaime, came a great number of expectations, and she immediately displayed her wit and skill as a village leader. Her assistance in the formation of medical ninjas resulted in a steady increase in excellency. Aware of Akatsuki's endeavors, she took swift action in order to protect the village but to no avail. Ninjas, such as Asuma and Jiraiya, who had long years of service behind them were lost. Tsunade will carry them on. All the hopes and feelings of those who were lost, that is. And the blazing Will of Fire shall keep on burning.

Captions

- As the Fifth Hokage, I will protect it.

- She's inherited the Will of Fire, and she will protect Konoha with her boiling, unshakable spirit.

Picture comments

- Her threatening attitude is the same even in front of the two councilors!! Once she trusts someone, it lasts until the very end.

- Tsunade's most ardent wish... She doesn't want to lose any more of those who are precious to her.

- Becoming Hokage didn't alter her lively personality. It... reinforced it instead?!
So Tsunade is definitely skilled, strong and talented as well.

Temari's 4th databook entry:
Databook 4 - Temari:
Ninja Registration number: 53-004
Birthday: 23 August, Virgo (20)
Height: 165cm
Weight: 47.9kg
Blood Type: O
Personality: Bold, Thoughtful

Gaara… you’ve become a fine man!

The fierce tornado that blows the entire universe away!

With her fan in hand, Temari creates a sudden gust, and, from a distance, eliminates any enemies that stand in her way! As a talented woman, almost completely untouchable, she discovers Shikamaru’s potential as a foundation of the next generation amidst the gruelling battle, and she decides to create a new ninja world alongside him.

⇧As a pillar of support for the Kazekage, and as Gaara’s sister, she leads the shinobi of the allied forces.
So Temari is definitely talented and her talent is such that most can't even touch that level of talent.

Tsunade's 4th databook entry:
First page

I'll protect this village no matter what... I swear on the name of hokage!

Rank: Hokage
Chakra natures; Fire, water, lighting, earth and yang.
Has summons.

Second page

The longest text in the middle of the page

Born as a grandchild to the first hokage Senju Hashirama called the God of Shinobi, before long she came to display unparalleled medical ninjutsu skills. Formerly she amassed a great deal of legendary valour together with Jiraiya and Orochimaru (referred to as Sannin), and eventually Tsunade rose to take the seat of Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. She, having inherited Grandfather Hashirama's Will of Fire along with his lineage, is now in the role of Chief of Staff in the shinobi Big Five Ninja Alliance, and crosses the borders of the land to bear the responsibility of commanding ninjas. It can certainly be said that she has brought Hashirama's longstanding desire into fruition.

First manga panel

Tsunade: It's different when I bet my life – that is why I'm still alive!

Although she has zero gambling skill, she never loses when she bets it all.

Second manga panel

Homura: Ah...
Koharu: Hey! What are you doing!?

Never losing her trusting heart, Tsunade juices up her advisors.

Third manga panel

Tsunade: Well done...

You won't have to settle for your rank. Let us rejoice upon your developement and stand on the front lines side by side...!!


Profile

Ninja registration number: 002302
Birthday: August 2nd (55 years old – Leo)
Height: 163.1 cm weight: 48.9 kg Blood type: B
Personality: quick-tempered, enjoys gambling

Favorite

She was treasured as a favourite by Hashirama, and learned to gamble during her childhood days. Her rarely-scored jackpots are ill omens

31 years ago

Tsunade's will contains the dream of her loved ones.

I'll become hokage, and protect everyone...
She took as her ambition the wish of Dan, who lost his life.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The big sentence next to Tsunade's stone face is too hard to translate.
Despite Tsunade's databook entries having way more content, Temari's has more hype in regards to skill and intellect. Feats show this as well but you can argue that Tsunade never got a chance to display her analytic skills in combat but when you look at the bigger picture, you'll realize Temari is better at this game.

It's not just her analytic skills. Despite Temari being arguably a more one dimensional fighter with a lot less experience than Tsunade, she's also able to . Sure Shikamaru was able to think of his strategy sooner and implemented it right before Temari was able to, but he's above them both by a good margin.

On the other hand, you don't see Tsunade trying to outwit her opponent and has been able to get outwitted ( )( ).
In reference to your last paragraph, I imagine, that Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Madara could all tag Temari. If you switch Tsunade and Temari in battle, Tsunade could handle every scenario Temari has been it, granted she may not be as good of a counter, but she'd make it. The same cannot be said in reverse, if Temari found herself facing the odds Tsunade had she'd be tagged and killed far easier.
Them being able to tag Temari doesn't mean Temari is just as easy to tag as Tsunade. I mean, Kaguya can stomp Tsunade or Hinata just as easily but Tsunade is far superior to Hinata. The other facts explain that Tsunade is stronger than Temari or has been for most of the manga which I agree with.
Though, I'd concede that Temari has longer range than Tsunade, which is hardly important as Temari is a distance fighter.
While Kamatari may have a greater blast range, it is far less useful than Katsuyu. Not only is Katsuyu capable of healing, and spitting acid, but she can divide a large number of times and allow Tsunade to surround her opponent, or scout the landscape, especially with their telepathic connection. Further, Katsuyu's ability to liquefy creates terrific offensive strategies against those who fight CQC. In addition to Katsuyu's ability to serve as a defensive summon.
I agree Katsuyu is overall more useful than Kamatari. Mainly for its defence, resilience and versatility.
Also if we talk pure destructive force, Tsunade may still take Temari on that front. As I don't imagine Temari having the destructive force to tear through Susano, or to hurt Manda for that matter.
Actually my shows that Temari has way more DC than the current Gokage barring Onoki's jinton.

Tsunade will never live up to Temari's prowess in terms of keeping a cool head, analysing her opponent and strategy. Simply list the number of things Tsunade can do with her monster strength and Temari can do with her fan next to each other, Tsunade hardly compares.
Obviously... since Temari fights at a long range and Tsunade fights close range.
Yet another advantage Temari has over Tsunade.

Well first off Tsunade doesn't have the same feats and is more hot headed compared to Temari. Despite Temari getting (his opponent) and the fact that he kept on running away or hiding instead of fighting head on, Temari still managed to keep her cool and analyse Shikamaru's actions and abilities. On the other hand when Tsunade gets pissed, without .

Secondly, I read both their databook entries and it basically states Tsunade is very rough and also talented/smart. On the other hand, the same was said about Temari but it emphasizes more on Temari's talent/intelligence/skill and doesn't talk as much about Temari's boldness.

Being the older sister of Gaara and Kankurō, her own ability of wind control is formidable. She surveys the situation calmly, and moves the instant she spots an opening. Her sense of balance in combat is probably the best out of her siblings.

Temari’s cruel and warlike nature stands out. However, at times, she has an innocent childlike expression. Also, perhaps because she has two younger brothers, a part of her is kind and considerate of others.
The bold just supports my point and I doubt Tsunade will analyse a situation on Tsunade's level.

Tsunade's second databook entry:
Databook 2 - Tsunade:
Tsunade (pg 104-109)

Pg 104

This can’t be happening…

Brash, free spirited, monstrous strength, no one can stop princess Tsunade. She is the legendary ninja who has touched upon the very limits of medicine.

As one of the legendary three sannins, tales of her heroism echo on the battlefield and her efforts in expanding the medical field have made numerous accomplishments. The name Tsunade that is imbued with legendary magnificence is a ninja of the Leaf. She is the idol of many kunoichis. But she, the object of this admiration, is one of those rare individuals who is not limited by being a woman ninja nor by any other constraints of a ninja. Her personality is precipitous and free, more stubborn than a man's as well as showy, not to mention a gambling addict. If her admirers should hear about her life as a gambler, perhaps their idolatry will fade away in an instant.

As the grand daughter of the First Hokage, her name is the frequent subject of news.

(Pic of Jiraya talking)
“During that terrifying period of the ninja wars, we were able to declare the Leaf’s victory. The combat then and medical jutsus are yet to be matched. Also, as the grand daughter of the First and the one who inherited the most traditional blood in the Leaf…”

But behind that flashy personality, an almost diffident(shy) friendliness is hidden. There is none who can match her love for her village and for those who are special to her. This gap between her outer and inner self is the secret to her charm that can never wilt!

Even though she is always impetuous(brash), her truly terrifying moment is when she has anger deep inside her. Her expression and glow of her eyes right before her eruption have the intensity to make anyone afraid.

(Just about her passion for gambling. Not really worth knowing)

Her exceptional bad luck! But her once in a while winnings, could they be indicators of an ominous future?
(Pic of toad, snake and slug on the gambling slot machine.)

(Pic of Shizune smiling with Tonton)-her special existence to Tsunade is beyond that of a servant.

Servant
For the naturally brash and free style Tsunade, she cannot do without the rational and organized Shizune. On days Tsunade is drowning in gambling, wine and sadness, her(Shizune’s) understanding and devotion have supported her throughout.

Pg 107

Orochimaru
She never thought of him as a companion even during the period of the Three Sannins. His evil eyes which never change through time are not what Tsunade likes. But the offer that he proffers weakens her. Without putting down a decision she is lead into an evil plan.

He lures her with the mentioning of ‘her most precious ones.” Towards the raging Tsunade, he continues to talk. “I can bring back your beloved brother and love.”

Jiraya
Unlike Orochimaru, she knows Jiraya well. So when he requests with sincerity in his eyes her acceptance to be inaugurated as the 5th Hokage, she recognizes the danger her village is in but….


Uzumaki Naruto
Rudeness, simplicity, ‘dreams’-all that Naruto has used to be by Tsunade’s side. And everything she lost in the war. And once again, she sees them. The image of her loved ones show up clearly in her mind.

pg 108

The past hidden within

(Pic of Naruto receiving necklace)
Passing on the Hokage’s necklace is an act of her strong love.

In the violence of the war, many ninjas lost their lives and many sorrows mounted in this world of fighting.

The scars from the war
The soft kiss on the forehead, as if she were blessing the future

The one she loved the most in this period of war…. Her brother Nawaki and Dan were both lost to her. A pain that seems to crush her half of her body, a phobia of warm blood and an emptiness that cannot be filled take root in her mind.

It was because she loved them more than anyone else that the pain of loss is so great. And the will that is left behind….

The heart that does not weaken

What Tsunade wanted back in her heart... the dreams of the ones she loved most. These do not fade in her heart but continue to shine. Always she looked upon these dreams in her heart hoping they would come true as well as her love that never grows less.

Pg 109

The final bet
A will lives on through the one who inherits it. Nawaki’s and Dan’s dreams are alive burns brightly in the dreams of one boy whose eyes resembles theirs . Tsunade leaves her necklace to Naruto believing one day, he will make those dreams come true.

The 5th Hokage
Her fate(mission) burns more brightly in her chest after the fight. Her role is to protect Naruto who has inherited the dreams of her loved ones. That is why she must protect the largest tree known as Konoha. That is why the new ninja path as the 5th Hokage is engraved in her heart.

The will that was glowing in the darkness of her sorrow is given fuel by one Naruto Uzumaki and enflames once more her life’s purpose. Her life’s mission is to protect Naruto and the Leaf Village as long as she is titled, Hokage. Tsunade’s vows to devote all of herself including her own life in order to fulfill her mission, are channeled into strength which uphold her. She who was adulated as the Three Sannins, the strongest ninja who put fear into the hearts of enemies far away, is once more revived!
From what I bolded, it seems like Tsunade isn't very rational and needs Shizune as an assistant much like Hashirama needs the smarter Tobirama and Naruto needs Shikamaru.

Temari's 3rd databook entry:
Databook 3 - Temari:
Main text:

The only female among the Three Sand Siblings. With one sweep from her large fan, she creates a swirling sandstorm that mows down anything and everything. Temari, whose conduct and speech used to be immature, who kept putting up an aggressive front, is now a Jounin. Considering her great competence, added to her position as the previous Kazekage's daughter, her opportunities to join important missions have drastically increased. As a result, Temari is developing a sense of responsibility and the attitude of someone who looks out for those around her.

Along with Kankurou, she provides support to Gaara, who became Kazekage. But not only that, she works in coordination with the allied village of Konoha, supervising the training of the younger recruits, among other things. Temari is currently growing into a necessary, indispensable presence for her village.

Captions, in Japanese reading order:

Don't get mouthy, you pack of lowly grunts!

The budding spirit of a troop commander, the princess of the Wind grows even more in vehemence!!

Pictures and comments, in Japanese reading order:

- Temari: I'll go!

- She leaves for Konoha, to act as the village's emissary during the Chuunin exams. In order to adopt Konoha's educational policies, she enthusiastically follows the formation of the newer recruits.

- Her reaction to Kankurou's being defeated has changed. In the past, she would have blamed him for his poor judgment.

Temari: Naruto... You're really a strange fellow. You have the power to change people.
- She openly acknowledges Naruto's aura, the one that influences people around him, and has caused a real revolution in Sunagakure. Temari herself has been changed as well.

Temari: Gaara... How do you feel?
- Temari's grown both in mind and body, becoming a good and influential sister towards her little brothers. However, isn't she a bit too much of a mother hen when it comes to Gaara?
So according to the 3rd databook, Temari is even more levelheaded and rational than before.

Tsunade's 3rd databook entry:
Main text:

The first female Hokage since the foundation of the Leaf village. Strong and talented, she was once hailed as one of the Sannin, along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya. With her inauguration as Godaime, came a great number of expectations, and she immediately displayed her wit and skill as a village leader. Her assistance in the formation of medical ninjas resulted in a steady increase in excellency. Aware of Akatsuki's endeavors, she took swift action in order to protect the village but to no avail. Ninjas, such as Asuma and Jiraiya, who had long years of service behind them were lost. Tsunade will carry them on. All the hopes and feelings of those who were lost, that is. And the blazing Will of Fire shall keep on burning.

Captions

- As the Fifth Hokage, I will protect it.

- She's inherited the Will of Fire, and she will protect Konoha with her boiling, unshakable spirit.

Picture comments

- Her threatening attitude is the same even in front of the two councilors!! Once she trusts someone, it lasts until the very end.

- Tsunade's most ardent wish... She doesn't want to lose any more of those who are precious to her.

- Becoming Hokage didn't alter her lively personality. It... reinforced it instead?!
So Tsunade is definitely skilled, strong and talented as well.

Temari's 4th databook entry:
Databook 4 - Temari:
Ninja Registration number: 53-004
Birthday: 23 August, Virgo (20)
Height: 165cm
Weight: 47.9kg
Blood Type: O
Personality: Bold, Thoughtful

Gaara… you’ve become a fine man!

The fierce tornado that blows the entire universe away!

With her fan in hand, Temari creates a sudden gust, and, from a distance, eliminates any enemies that stand in her way! As a talented woman, almost completely untouchable, she discovers Shikamaru’s potential as a foundation of the next generation amidst the gruelling battle, and she decides to create a new ninja world alongside him.

⇧As a pillar of support for the Kazekage, and as Gaara’s sister, she leads the shinobi of the allied forces.
So Temari is definitely talented and her talent is such that most can't even touch that level of talent.

Tsunade's 4th databook entry:
First page

I'll protect this village no matter what... I swear on the name of hokage!

Rank: Hokage
Chakra natures; Fire, water, lighting, earth and yang.
Has summons.

Second page

The longest text in the middle of the page

Born as a grandchild to the first hokage Senju Hashirama called the God of Shinobi, before long she came to display unparalleled medical ninjutsu skills. Formerly she amassed a great deal of legendary valour together with Jiraiya and Orochimaru (referred to as Sannin), and eventually Tsunade rose to take the seat of Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. She, having inherited Grandfather Hashirama's Will of Fire along with his lineage, is now in the role of Chief of Staff in the shinobi Big Five Ninja Alliance, and crosses the borders of the land to bear the responsibility of commanding ninjas. It can certainly be said that she has brought Hashirama's longstanding desire into fruition.

First manga panel

Tsunade: It's different when I bet my life – that is why I'm still alive!

Although she has zero gambling skill, she never loses when she bets it all.

Second manga panel

Homura: Ah...
Koharu: Hey! What are you doing!?

Never losing her trusting heart, Tsunade juices up her advisors.

Third manga panel

Tsunade: Well done...

You won't have to settle for your rank. Let us rejoice upon your developement and stand on the front lines side by side...!!

Favorite

She was treasured as a favourite by Hashirama, and learned to gamble during her childhood days. Her rarely-scored jackpots are ill omens

Tsunade's will contains the dream of her loved ones.

I'll become hokage, and protect everyone...
She took as her ambition the wish of Dan, who lost his life.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The big sentence next to Tsunade's stone face is too hard to translate.
Despite Tsunade's databook entries having way more content, Temari's has more hype in regards to skill and intellect. Feats show this as well but you can argue that Tsunade never got a chance to display her analytic skills in combat but when you look at the bigger picture, you'll realize Temari is better at this game.

It's not just her analytic skills. Despite Temari being arguably a more one dimensional fighter with a lot less experience than Tsunade, she's also able to . Sure Shikamaru was able to think of his strategy sooner and implemented it right before Temari was able to, but he's above them both by a good margin.

On the other hand, you don't see Tsunade trying to outwit her opponent and has been able to get outwitted ( )( ).

Them being able to tag Temari doesn't mean Temari is just as easy to tag as Tsunade. I mean, Kaguya can stomp Tsunade or Hinata just as easily but Tsunade is far superior to Hinata. The other facts explain that Tsunade is stronger than Temari or has been for most of the manga which I agree with.

I agree Katsuyu is overall more useful than Kamatari. Mainly for its defence, resilience and versatility.

Actually my shows that Temari has way more DC than the current Gokage barring Onoki's jinton.
Ice, you're setting up straw men now.
I didn't argue that Tsunade had the same feats, I argued that there was not a time in which she had to deduce the power of her opponents. Therefore, you cannot compare her deductive abilities in battle to Temari's.

Secondly, the amount in which the databook hypes Tsunade's intelligence is irrelevant as it does hype her intelligence. In fact, it gives her a 5 in intelligence. That's the highest hype the databook can give, compared to 4 that Temari receives. The deductive abilities that you praise during the chuunin exams only earned Temari a 2.5 in intelligence suggesting that Tsunade's deductive ability is of a completely different caliber.

Accordng to the Databook, Tsunade is also more intelligent than Shizune. But let's talk about Tsunade's intelligence then.
Tsunade’s Intelligence:
As Tsunade is the world’s best doctor it should be obvious that she is indeed intelligent. However, I cannot make such a claim without backing it up. Because her medical knowledge is beyond apparent, I will speak more about her practical knowledge. One of the things Tsunade was praised for by Kabuto was her intelligence.

What Kabuto says allows us to know that Tsunade had an excellent understanding of war and battle. She was the first of generations of people and multitudes of nations, who proposed having medical assistance in the field.

From this we can gather that Tsunade’s understanding of was advanced she understood the necessity, and that was why Jiraiya said she was important in konoha’s victory in the second war. It’s also evident she knows what is necessary when fighting many enemies as she talked about covert ops, as well as fighting a few enemies such as in this war. She knew that for this kind of a battle, contrary to the ideas of Shikaku that Bee’s and Naruto’s strength would be necessary to win.

Tsunade here indicates that she didn't just stick Yamato with team Kakashi for kicks and giggles nor just because of him being powerful, but also because he mokuton includes Chakra suppression.

Tsunade also shows that she knew that if the Hidden Leaf really crumbled then Naruto would be in grave danger, thus he had to fight to defend it if he had any chance in being safe.

In stressful situations Tsunade has managed to deduce information about the enemy and provide quick leadership and formulate a solid plan of defense. And she knew a means to hand out information instanteously is paramount. And therefore, she knows the value of information and thus would strive to obtain it through whatever means necessary.

Tsunade was outwitted? By one of the people who outwitted the entire shinobi world? Let's just hope that Temari was never outwitted. And perhaps Tsunade was outwitted by Kabuto for a moment, however, she flipped that situation on its head and let her vulnerability turn into a trap for Kabuto.


Actually, them being able to tag Temari means just that. Your argument is Tsunade is easier to tag than Temari. Thus, the only way to test the argument is by putting Temari in the situations in which Tsunade's been tagged. If Temari gets tagged as much or more, your argument fails. The reverse is put Tsunade in Temari's situations if she doesn't get tagged or gets tagged less, your argument fails.

Additionally, you're wrong. I've read you're thread, and Temari can outpower two of the former gokage in destructive power. Ay and Mei. Neither of their styles necessitate completely obliterating their opponent. But if you compare the wildly random kirikirimae to a direct hit from Byakugou Tsunade, Sand Tsunami and Giant Sand Burial, or Jinton. Kirikirimae will be the least lethal of the three.
