Who taught Tsunade her medical jutsu?


There's no background information explaining how Tsunade became a medical-nin
or how she learned medical ninjutsu. She didn't have a medical specialist
mentor. Maybe she did have one, but there's no source or background
information to prove it.

There is a possibility that she learned medical ninjutsu all by herself, as
she often read other clans' medical books to solve particular problems.

As others have answered that there is no concrete evidence on who taught her
medical ninjutsu but we can theorize.

My guess would be the First Hokage. Consider the following information

Logically I'd guess Tsunade was influenced by the first and may have even got
the basics of medical ninjutsu from the first Hokage. She then gained
tremendous experience in the Ninja Wars and doing missions with the Sannin.
The real life experience with the large amount of chakra and aptitude made her
the greatest living medical-Nin in Narutoverse. She no doubt build on the
initail knowledge travelling and reading about in other books, like Nara Clans
Herbology.

I think she learnt it from Mito Uzumaki, The First Hokage's wife. She was the
first to wield the Byakugou and was the second Kyuubi container. She could of
had behind the scenes moments with Tsunade. Mito lived until Kushina came and
collected the Kyuubi. Tsunade is like 20yrs older then Minato and Kushina so
she still could have time to teach Tsunade how to unlock the Byakugou before
she died.
