On the whole, Tsunade is quite a one dimensional fighter, so I don't think she'll have much success in landing any major blows on the Sandaime - particularly when you consider her unremarkable speed feats and linear-bound assaults. Tsunade's Byakugō would prove useful, but for how long? She won't win the battle of attrition against the 3rd and will most certainly be the first to fall to fatigue. With his Nukite (Hell Stab) variants, the Raikage has the firepower needed to not only harm Tsunade, but incapacitate her also. I also question the effectiveness of Tsunade's Ranshinshō (Body Pathway Derangement), since the 3rd's Raiton no Yoroi already uses electricity to stimulate his nervous system. It's possible that this would nullify or override the effects of Tsunade's technique.
Katsuyu offers great support, but the Sandaime should be able to obviate her acid, and if push comes to shove, perhaps tank it also. That Slug'll deal well with his physical attacks, but it probably won't be enough to grant Tsunade victory in this case.

The weakest Hokage?Slap yourself. She is stronger than Hiruzen or Tobirama so she is in the middle.
I guess she stands a 40/60 chance against the saindaime thanks to Katsuyu.
i dont see how tsunade could have injured Sandaime. I dont think Tsunade has any offensive techniques stronger than rasenshuriken, and that didnt do anything against him. The only reason that naruto won is because he figured out his weakness from talking to Gyūki, something tsunade probably would not find out.

How do you know Tsunade is stronger than Tobirama? Considering that he took out Madaras younger brother Izuna who had also awakened mangekyo sharingan, he is pretty damn strong. Besides, we havent really seen enough of him to know anything for sure.

He is featless.So Tsunade is stronger for now.
The Izuna argument is pretty weak considering that Tsunade fought against 5 Edo-Rinnegan-Sharingan Moku bunshins.Furhtermore they were able to perform a decent Susanno and Genjutsu.

Proof that the bunshin played with her.Oh wait you can't.Reread this fight.The bunshins weren't toying with the Gokage.
In the end everyone would say the opponents weren't strong enough to take Tsunade down that easily.

Im not implying that he is stronger than Edo Madara, lol. Im merely stating that he probably is a lot stronger than tsunade. If the 5 kage together could not seal madara, Izuna would have to be less than five times weaker than him for one kage to succeed. Something that is unlikely considering that they both were at the same level at the time of his death.
The are only three ways I can imagine Tsunade winning. I mean his hell stabs were slow enough for the army to dodge for the most part.

So that isn't my concern. And Tsunade being a medical ninja will be evading her but off with full knowledge. So she may decide to strike a pressure point. That's possibility number 1.
Possibility number two, since the nervous system extends throughout the entire body, if he tries to just tank attacks (which whether or not she can hurt him with punches is a question. They won't kill him but will they hurt? I mean A thought he could have some impact. Not just with the Kin-Gin bros but with his father, which leads me to believe that amount of strength can begin to damage him to some degree)

anyway she may try use Body Pathway Derangement . If such an attack were successful she could kill him with

Or there is a third way that she may be able to harm him, that is chakra scalpels. She doesn't need to pierce the skin for such an attack. Now I know the third is faster than Tsunade. No doubt. However, he seems to have only V1. Which doesn't seem as fast as A's. She can without a doubt see V1 one speed as the entire army saw it, she should be able to react to hell stab as once again the majority of the army did. She has proven that she herself is not a slouch in speed. [

]Black Lightning can be tanked by Katsuyu. It's also important to note that while the third is very physically strong his punches should be knock outs under normal circumstances not death shots. And while Tsunade is not nearly as resilient as the Third she is definitely more resilient than the average shinobi.

. And the reason that I believe Tsunade can avoid the Third at least partially is beyond the army being able to avoid hell stab, Dodai was able to use a jutsu and pull the switcheroo before the Third's strike landed.

Synopsis The reasons why I think the Third Raikage comes out on top more often than not.
1. He has a greater durability than Tsunade
2. He seemingly has greater stamina than Tsunade
3. He is faster than Tsunade
4. He has a long range of attack with black lightning
5. Katsuyu's acid should not be able to hit him and Katsuyu should not be able to hold him either
The Reasons I think Tsunade can occasionally win
1. Full knowledge
2. She can be evasive
3. She has a few means of attack beyond trying to power through his skin
4. She has an intimate knowledge of the human body and knows how to strike pressure points.
5. Their strength doesn't seem to be bounds apart. (I'm not talking about the strongest spear as that is a piercing/cutting attack amplified by raiton)
6. Ay seemingly thought his strength was enough to stop the Third, and she is stronger than A. ( I mean A can't speed him to death he must have an attack that would hurt him)
7. She can use Katsuyu as a buffer from Black Lightning
8. While she does not have the Third's stamina she did manage to refill Gaara's, Oonoki's and Mei's chakra when she healed them. And Give more to Oonoki in addition to healing her wound. I would imagine refilling the Kages chakra took an immense amount of chakra. The same way I would imagine healing thousands of villagers and ninjas requires an immense chakra
