If you don't want to read this entire thing skip to the Tl:DR section below and just read the bolded parts
So based on my understanding of terminology short range and Close Quarters Combat is understood to mean battle occurring between 0 and 5 meters (0 to 16.4 feet)apart.
Mid Range is understood to take place between 6 and 25 meters (19.7 to 82 feet)
Long Range is anything beyond that. 26+ Meters (85+ feet)

Generally taijutsu and genjutsu would be what falls in the short range category. Examples: Hyuuga, Akimichi, Gai, Lee
Mid-Range would consist of some genjutsu in the lower distance levels of mid range and most ninjutsus probably fall in here as well. As 25 meters is a decent distance. Examples: Kakashi, Asuma, Zabuza,
Long Range would consist of ninjutsu and maybe very few genjutsu from extremely skilled practitioners . Examples: Gaara, Temari, Madara, Hashirama

Most people would be quick to throw Tsunade in the short range category. But thinking about it, that really doesn't make sense. It should be fairly obvious to us that even a part 1 Tsunade could reach mid distance without much of a problem.

The Databook puts Tsunade at 1.631 Meters tall. In the scan she is 71 pixels tall. Which will be represent by 163.1/71 The damage down by her single finger is 388 pixels long. Letting x serve as length in centimeters it would be represented by x/388. The equation now used is 163.1/71 = x/388 With basic cross multiplication we get 71x = 63282.8 divide both sides for x and x = 891.307042254cm divide by 100 to get to meters and the crater made from her finger was 8.91 meters long or 29ft 2 and 29⁄32 Inches for US people. That goes beyond the normal range of close combat.

In early part two in one of Sakura's flashbacks before power scaling really started we see Tsunade attacking. I won't bore you with the calculations because all the important numbers are already on the scan. But before powerscaling Tsunade was able to attack an area that is 56 Meters in diameter. Which would mean with one strike she would attack about 28 meters in each direction or 92 feet for Americans.

But now we have to take into account power scaling.
Based on Hashirama's words Tsunade's strikes are < or = to the strike shown by Sakura.

So because the difference in power is not great enough for Hashirama to state with certainty we can safely use Sakura's feat for Tsunade without worrying about much difference in size of AoE.
Now working on the databook tells us that Sakura is 161 cm tall or 1.61 meters tall. Now if we compare her height to the Fat juubi mini we'll find that the fat juubi mini is about 5.04 meters. (For presentation purposes I'm rounding numbers but in my calculations I used my full numbers). I got its height by measuring Sakura is 157 pixels. The Fat Juubi Mini is 491 pixels. Some cross multiplication where 161/157 = x/491, the next step would lead to 157x = 79051, then x = 503.51 cm divide by 100 to turn cm to meters. Which leaves you with the juubi mini being 5.04 meters. Now realizing that the juubi mini is 5.04 meters, and each of the fat juubi minis in the explosion have sizes varying from 31 to 41 pixels. Thus I decided to let 5.04 represent 35 pixels. Now the blue line represents the total width of Sakura's AOE. That width is 1465 pixels. In which case we set up another cross multiplication so that 5.04/35 = x/1465 Then we take 35x = 7,376.4 and x will = 210.75 meters. So Tsunade's AoE with powerscaling is roughly 210.75 meters.

If Part 1 Tsunade can cause damage nearly 30 feet away.... nearly 9 meters away with a single finger I think it would be absurd for any one to argue that she doesn't have attacks that reach mid range. Thanks to being able to now figure out power scaling with Tsunade having an AoE of 210 Meters (105 Meters in each direction) I find it difficult to believe that anyone could argue that her attacks don't effect long range distance.

Conclusion: (Tl:DR version) Tsunade's attacks cover all distance ranges.

with her strength I'm pretty sure she can just grab a nearby boulder or tree and throw it....

You make sense, I always considered her attack like that to be mid-long ranged. However they aren't different techniques more than just being the impact of her enormous strength.

You know what it makes it even simpler? Sakura's position in the 4th ninja war.
She was placed in the close-mid range fighter's division.

So you could've started with that as well, which is a proof itself that she was considered already a mid-range fighter pre-power up.

With the power-up she easily raised to long-range as well.

And with Tsunade being her teacher, well, they both enter the same category.

Sakura stored up Chakra for 3 years.. just stay by the feats Tsunade showed. Neither against Orochimaru and Kabuto, nor against Madara she showed such a tactic with such a massive destruction, rather relying on close combat. Much effort for nothing. We've seen the extent of Tsunade's destructive capabilities against Orochimaru, and they didn't come close to Sakura's, what can be ascribed to her storing up Chakra for years and the hype of students surpassing teachers.

Tsunade =/= Sakura. Tsunade would have no reason in hiding such destructive forces.

@Chatte, Sakura was used as a medical Nin, nuff said.

Well that's pure BS unless you're denying that there has been power scaling, because if I remember correctly she'd hadn't shown the destructive power to punch a hole through a person in part 1.
Furthermore, to do it in a team setting wouldn't work well because if her team is within the AoE she would hurt them as well. I think what you just tried imply was incredibly foolish. Go take a nap and try again.

Also Tsunade has significantly more chakra than Sakura. It took her a matter of days to regain her byakugou seal whereas Sakura had to wait 3 years to even get her first one.

And you really can't be selective and choose to ignore Hashirama's words.

Tbf Sakura may not have to take such a long time to refill her seal from now on. Reason being if she ends up using Tsunade's jutsu's she will need the transformation technique so would she have to look like an old woman every 3 years? I doubt it.

I feel we will find out how long it took Tsunade when she comes back cuz i see as usual character hyping through others

That doesn't change the fact that she was put in the said division. It's basically a description of every ninja and their abilities/range. If she would've been just a medic ninja, she would've been put in the Medical Division, yet she wasn't because she's not just a medical ninja, just like Tsunade.
