Naturally, the Hokage, as the strongest in the village, should be able to contend with a threat like this and protect the village, right?
Well, all previous Hokage could have. But Tsunade just about did nothing. She did absolutely nothing to contend with Pain, and even her slug summon didn't do it's job, as hundreds of villagers perished until Nagato revived them. Then, naturally, she went into a coma.
NARUTO of all people had to step up to deal with the threat of Pain.
This alone should show you she isn't underrated at all; In fact, she doesn't even deserve a top 20 spot.
Let's move on to her other "accomplishment" which was "contending" with Madara.
People like to bring up this instance to show that she can contend with other Top 5 characters. But that argument is just ridiculous.
Tsunade had the assistance of 4 REAL Kage level allies, and still ended up being cut in half.
The 3 Sannin being equal to each other argument is laughable. Jiraiya and Orochimaru are so far past Tsunade it's not even funny. (Gee, I guess the parrallels to Team 7 do hold true...). Sage Mode Jiraiya completely poops on Tsunade, and Orochimaru turns her into a joke as well.
Her Creation Rebirth is somewhat impressive... That is, until it runs out and she's left in a coma again. Outlasting her Creation Rebirth would be a cinch for any of the Top 20 prospects, so that isn't helping her here.
My point is that Tsunade isn't underrated; in fact, she is mostly overrated.
With nothing in her arsenal except mediocre speed, Impressive (although risky) healing, and big-boom punches, she does not live up to her Hokage title nor her Sannin Title.
Get it together, Tsunade.
