and Nawaki..I think that's it

yeah she would flip out..and probably couldn't do anything..at first. But I don't think we've seen Tsunade fight at 100%. We've only seen a few techniques from her, and her Genesis of Rebirth is freaking amazing. But she knows the body and it's weak points a lot more than Orochimaru does, so I think is Taijutsu, she would own him. But we don't know her limit with her Ninjutsu or her Genjutsu...

also...does anyone else think it's weird that her summon is a....slug??

No, it comes from an old legend. A man Jiraiya, who used frog magic, his wife Tsunade, who uses slug magic. Then the villan, Orochimaru who has snake magic.
That is where Kishimoto got the names from, ect.

Whether you think Tsunade is strong enough or not is anyone's choice. But all in all, she's strong even if she may not be the strongest evah.

I personally believe that the end of the fight when Orochimaru that Tsuande kind of matured a lot. She's psychologically stronger than she was before, and Naruto helped her realize her loved ones' dream. She doesn't seem like the type that would end up totally ruining the village. In the anime, they showed her studying hard. That gives her points. She probably still have the urges to be tempted by gambling and drinking, but she's probably less tempted than the anime portrays her.

The slacking could deal with the sudden change in lifestyle which is a pretty big change, so I don't blame her that much.

Spoiler:

Whether she's strong enough or not, she seems to make the best decisions she can make. With her in control, she not only knew of the importance of all the higher-ranked ninjas being in missions, but she knew the situation the village was in that gave her the decision to send Genin out to Sasuke. Even though she knew it was a danger to send out Genin, she chose the best chuunin she could, recommended a strong gennin, and even supposedly had taken extra measures. She definitely seems like she knew what she was doing and knew her priorites on the village's safety from other villages.

Basically, she has the knowledge, the skill, enough strength, and just enough maturity. All she needs is some time.
