In four years she was able to become nearly as strong as Tsunade through hard work and dedication. No tailed beasts, no sharingan bs, and chakra ghost powerups, just sheer determination.

fuck off narutard

Too bad that meant nothing since base Madara bodied the fuck out of Tsunade without even trying.
THIS motherfucker on the other hand...

And personal training from Tsunade herself...

And she did not even surpass her by a significant margin...

>has the talent to be a genjutsu specialist
>instead gets trained to hit things really hard and heal

Similar principles. You need precise chakra control to use genjutsu, Sakura just uses that precise control to make explosions with her fist.

Couldn't have Tsunade train literally anyone to be as strong as Sakura got?

No.

You have to have top notch chakra control and be an expert in medical ninjutsu.

I love how Sarada does the exact same thing with no prior training whatsoever

Too bad not even Tsunade could teach her how to not be shit. Also
>OH MY OFF PANEL BYAKUGO SEAL TRAINING
Fuck off, she was garbage and she got handed as much asspulls as the rest of team 7 during the awful war arc.

And she still managed to be boring, useless, and retarded

Jumped straight to god tier

Combat-wise, yes. But they'd need perfect chakra control, something even Jiraiya didn't have.
But Tsunade also imparted her medical knowledge upon Sakura, who was shown to be an academic genius. By the start of the first timeskip she was on par with how Tsunade was during the Second Ninja War.

Ok thanks. One more question, wouldn't Ino also have been good enough? Her chakra control seemed to be just as good as Sakura in part 1.

>But Tsunade also imparted her medical knowledge upon Sakura, who was shown to be an academic genius. By the start of the first timeskip she was on par with how Tsunade was during the Second Ninja War.

Massive high ball, Tsunade at the start of the ninja war was still young. which meant her abnormally large chakra reserves from having Senju and Uzumaki blood wasn't being wasted on maintaining her appearance via a 24/7 transformation Jitsu.


time skip sakura vs Second war Tsunade would end as a stomp in Tsunade's favor due to her better stamina and physical durability.

Yes, she even becomes a medic-nin. It's mostly shown in the anime but it's mentioned in the databooks and at least one novel.
But even then, Sakura's knowledge would still outclass hers.

I was talking her medical expertise, not her physical strength.

Yet she still accomplishes literally nothing of value. Shit character that was horribly handled from inception.

She saved Kankuro and Naruto from dying, and with the help of Chiyo she was able to destroy kill Kankuro.

>help of Chiyo
Carried by Chiyo*

Just sheer plot contrivance to reinforce muh parallels. Doesn't matter if it makes sense. She was meant to parallel Tsunade. It was her destiny and this is a series where destiny trumps all.

I too think it's amazing that she became physically stronger than Lee because of her "hard work and determination" after a fucking time skip. Truly inspiring. It makes me think, if Kishimoto can make it as a writer, anyone can!

>no prior training whatsoever
I thought it was obvious that Sakura trained her, being her mom and all.

Chiyo would have failed without Sakura.

Sakura Haruno.
Rock Lee.
Might Gai.
Minato Namikaze.
Jiraiya the Gallant.

All of them trained to get their power without being from some kind of special snowflake clan that makes them higher than their peers at birth.

And out of them, Sakura is the only incompetent one. Imagine hundreds if not thousands if soldiers dying because you couldn't fucking stab an eye while the guy in its possession is literally telling you to hurry the fuck up with it. Also, this comparison is disingenuous bordering on fallaciou. Out if the characters you mentioned, we're told that Minato is a genius with a capital G and Sakura has talent for chakra control, so not all started the same. In fact, Lee and Guy (especially Lee) plain suck at a fundamental aspects of being a ninja, so he has to work extra hard as we're indeed shown multiple times in the manga, and no one else but Guy is shown having to deal with a disadvantage such as that. Minato might as well not even train because he's the very definition of a Gary Stu, and Sakura was shown training hard a grand total of one time via flashback and never again, only for Kishimoto to completely asspull her having mastered the Byakugou seal with zero prior foreshadowing (and no, just because Tsunade invented the technique and was her master doesn't mean Sakura should know it, that's plain bad writing). Coming back to Lee, what did he got for his efforts we actually literally see on panel and therefore are the only ones that should matter to the audience: a big middle finger. Which is funny because his master is basically the same character as him but older, but he actually manages to almost kill the penultimate FV and outstages the heroes for a while, despite of the most repeated mantras of the series being the new generations surpassing the old. And by the way, everyone in your list other than Lee of course is vastly more accomplished than Sakura, despite her having more talent initially than either Guy, Lee or even Jiraiya. There's basically zero consistency in the series in terms of where effort and talent takes, and where the characters end seem more of a result of the author whims and plot convenience than any internal logic.

Tl; dr: you only made that post to make Sakura seem better by association but completely failed because you have very poor critical thinking skills, since these characters have fairly little in common, but you allowed me to point out fundamental issues with Kishimoto's writing.

Sakura wasnt incompetent.
In fact she was a total bro and was willing to go out with naruto on early part 2. She was like a completely different character when she was not obssesed over sasuke. Poor thing became so miserable.

And yet despite this, she still somehow manages to be worst girl. If I was a pinkfag I don't think I could ever stop seething at Kishimoto

> Hinafag seethin.
Its 2020, if you cant let go then you need a psychologist user.

Where did I say I was a Hinatafag paranoid-kun

>Getting this triggered by Sakura.
Sasuga, hater-kun.

Because 99% of the time, whenever somebody is bitching about Sakura, they are always outed as a Hinatafag.

>REEE Hinatafags Hinata Hinata HINATA
Talk about rent free. You have some gall talking about anyone else needing psychological help when you should be the one taking your advice. In a hypothetical Naruto manga where no other female characters existed, Suckura would still be shit, and yes, that's Kishimoto's fault.

Ah, so you're an imbecile. I suspect it, but thanks for confirming it.

Hinata is completely irrelevant to this discussion and bringing her up shows you have no real arguments left and need a tangent to continue getting your last word in.

>point out how Kishimoto's treatment of themes and consistency suck
>mention Sakura a couple of times within a larger context, mostly to point out you're biased and wrong
>hurr durr, you're triggered by Sakura
You'd think that a single post being shorter than a 700 chapters manga would make it easier for your limited reading comprehension to manage, but it seems I was wrong.

And what it amounted to? Nothing

fuck Naruto, fuck ninja jesus genes and fuck Kishimoto. I am glad his new stuff was canned
