I believe Tsunade is often underrated and before the Madara incident people said she was undeserving of her position as hokage. Infact, some still say she was a poor choice or only a last resort. I will demonstrate why she is worthy of being a sannin and a kage.
If Kakashi were hokage... he still would've died the same way but he would have listened to the advisers and kept Naruto in the village and when Pein attacked he would have been screwed.
I think we saw the damage done by Danzo's short reign as interim hokage. He managed to lose the trust of the the other great shinobi nations and the neutral samurai nation. He is the reason that sasuke attacked the summit. And in the chaos Tobi was able to declare the 4th ninja world war. And honestly what do you think he would've done with Naruto as hokage during Pein's invasion?
- Huge Chakra Reserves - I think this point really expresses itself. Being a Senju and being gifted with the Senju body of the Sage and the Uzumaki longevity she has been granted a lot of chakra which is how she healed the entire village during Pein's attack or how she could heal from the wounds Madara inflicted when Kabuto couldn't heal from the damage of a rasengan
- Creation Rebirth/ Byakougou - Either of these two techniques grant her immortality in battle
- Unparalleled Strength- Her strength is unparalleled. According to the databook and Naruto Wiki Tsunade naturally has monster strength. However she adds to her punches and kicks by building chakra in the body part that is going to make contact then releasing it as soon as contact is made... essentially it's chakra explosions. She took Orochimaru out with one punch when his body was fairly healthy. (not his arms but his body). In perspective a sick Oro withstood 4tails naruto attacks
Heavenly Kick of Pain (keeping in mind the feet are the most difficult place to gather chakra)You must be registered for see images

Again in perspective naruto fell into the chasm created by one finger and his whole body fit inside of it

This cracked SusanooAnd this broke itYou must be registered for see imagesAnd this broke the swordYou must be registered for see imagesMadara's cloneYou must be registered for see imagesGamabunta's Sword - Because this is not a strike and thus no chakra explosion this is her legendary strength unamplifiedYou must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see images - Precise Chakra Control- Once again fairly self explanatory and I think her yin seal proves it. In addition to her strength.
- Intelligence-Take the war with Pein for instance, she strategically sent Naruto away to get stronger rather than following the advice the advisers, rather than taking pein head on, she healed the entire village, she had Katsuya everywhere that way everyone could gain more info on Pein instantly. In the fight with Madara she devised an attack on Madara so that the other kages could attack him while he responded to her attack. When she was fighting kabuto and her lungs were messed up she pseudoparalyzed him so that she could heal. As per her rules for Medical Ninja she understands the strategies necessary to keep a team alive.
- Medical Ninjutsu- self-healing techniques only paralleled by Hashirama, but in general medical jutsu she is unmatched. Which is why Lee is a shinobi today. Why Oro came to her, when he already had Kabuto, why she was able to heal an entire village at once, and why she was able to quickly and near effortlessly undue the damage done to Kakashi and Sasuke by Itachi's Tsukyomi. Which leads me to believe that Genjutsu won't be very effective on her as she firstly has such excellent chakra control as mentioned above so if she stops her chakra flow the genjutsu is ended in addition to knowledge of how it works, how it affects the brain, and how to treat it.
- Katsuya- I think Katsuya is underated. No she isn't really a battle slug but consider this a hundred of those kid-sized katsuyas spitting acid. Or given how Tsunade was able to heal the village through Katsuya and she was going to kill Orochimaru with Medical Ninjutsu if a small katsuya a few inches long is stuck on an opponent Tsunade needs only to channel the technique through Katsuya to kill an opponent. I can see Tsunade inacting this jutsu while multitasking as she always holds the jutsu that keeps her looking young, while using augmented monster strength, while using forbidden jutsus, or how she keeps up her technique while she heals.In addition to the obvious fact that Katsuya can crush people.
- Body Pathway Derangement- This technique would disable nearly anyone who does not have a lightening cloak. Kabuto was a prodigy and it took him some time to figure out how to move. Should she use this technique she could smash her opponent while they were unable to move or you know slit their throat.
- Dexterity-Contrary to popular belief Tsunade is not slow. She's only ever been hit four times in combat from what we've seen.
Here she was already injured if you ever been able to not move your stomach you'd understand why this why undodgeableYou must be registered for see imagesYeah this was her fault for prematurely thinking they defeated Madara and dropping her guardYou must be registered for see imagesThis however was strategyYou must be registered for see images
And in terms of dodging this is nothing to scoff at. Not only did she not know exactly where he was. But she was able to perceive and dodge before he landed the attack.You must be registered for see imagesAnd here obvious easy dodges of Naruto.You must be registered for see images
Here she protects Naruto three times with great speed as no one saw her get into position to protect him they only saw her getting hit (these were her out of combat and still terrorized by blood)You must be registered for see imagesNotice where she starts and Jiraiya only gets to form one hand sword before the blade is thereYou must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images - Durability
Ok so as seen above she tanked her arm muscles and abdomen muscles being cut
She tanked her respiratory muscles being cut
Then out of battle she tanked the sword of Kusanagi thrice
Look at that woundYou must be registered for see imagesAlso as seen above she tanked Totsuka sword and yasaka magatama.You must be registered for see images - Best choice for the job
Even Jiraiya thought she was the best person for the position as 5th hokageYou must be registered for see images
