boy everyones really underestimating Sakura and waaaaay over estimating Sasuke.

Sakura has two things going for her. one she fights for the right theme and reasons. to protect her precious people and more so to protect Naruto. this is something she is willing to give everything even her life for.

adn that alone gives her a power undreamt of.

prime example? Naruto vrs Gaara. in the chunin exams Gaara was all but unstoppable the likely hood of anyone ebating him save a sannin is allmost nil. Naruto though with one look at Sakura gains the power to overcome the unstoppable force.

Next arrogance. Sasuke is arrogant, and as far as hes concerned Sakura is still useless and weak. there is a very good reason that Kishi chose to not display Sakuras fighting ability to Sasuke in their reunion. he will drastically and dangerously understimate her even after she breaks every bone in his body.

on a physical level Sasuke has more skills then Naruto and Sakura. this is consistent with his mentor being Orochimaru. Orochi would have emphasized quantity over quality in his trianing. basically use the sharingan to turn Sasuke into a walking encyclopedia of jutsu.

however his ability to improvise or improve those jutsu would be limited. Orochimaru would find additional training to be superfluous. remember that to him quantity of Jutsu is whats important.

for Sakura Tsunades jutsu knowledge is limtied, she applies though what she knows VERY VERY well. Sakura is a near perfect example of this.

the example? sakura vrs the sound three. Long before she was taught super strength a ""weak and useless"" Sakura took on Zaku, Kin and Dosu, and using nothing but Kunai, Shuriken, and bunshin and Kawarimi and a fierce desire to protect her team, held off the trio long enough to motivate Ino and company to interven on her behalf. And Sakura has come far far beyond what she was then.

Another example Tsunade rusty in her skills takes on orochimaru and beats him like a rented mule.

we do Sakura and Kishimoto a great disservice when we just throw up a poster comparison of her and Sasuke like that. Since the comparison isnt a reliable one.

Sakura has surprise and movtivation on her side and soemthing even more important.

She is willing as seen in the battle with Sasori to sacrafice her body to get that one big hit in. And we all know what that one big hit can do.

Karin is a wild card and i can all but guarantee you she will not be fighting Sakura over Sasuke. one she doesnt have to she allready has Sasuke, two at this stage she is more likely to talk to Sakura well after the fight and she might have her hands full with the other leaf nin.

Madara is the other wild card and the prime reason Sakura wont win the fight. Madara will intervene before that end happens.

Karin will have an interesting impact on that fight though we jsut have yet to know what that impact will be.

all told, in conclusion Sakura has a near 100% chance to win the overall battle against Sasuke. whether she will win the fight is an unknown due to Karin and Madaras presence.

Like Naruto before her she may win the all important battle agaisnt Sasuke, but lose the fight itself.


That was beautiful my friend and that's the point I want everyone to understand.

No one has ever taken Sakura seriously and everyone (including Naruto & Kakashi). The ones that know what she's capable is Tsunade & Shizune.

Sasuke see her as weak girl who can't do kitten but cry and get emotional. He has become very aggroant and that will be his downfall. C'mon guys if Shikamaru can figure a way to defeat the immortal Hidan on his own, you think Sakura should be able to figure out how to defeat Sasuke.

The reason Kakashi is scared because he never bother to show her anything attention. Although she was trained by the 5th Hokage, he thinks she isn't up to par with Sasuke. Remember people Kakashi invest more in Sasuke and probably was place to train Sasuke because of the sharigan. He ingore both Naruto & Sakura. He's a good leader but horrible teacher so that's why he feels he needs to save Sakura, in my opinion.

Naruto may love her but his love is blind when it comes to her power. Even he thinks Sakura isn't on par with him. Love can be blind my friends.

Sasuke, I think is starting to weaken actually. If you look at his eyes, he starting to have similar problems that it took Itachi years to develop. Madara and Karin are his scapegoats otherwise he would've got his ass kick an long time ago.

He's more of a long range fighter while Sakura is short range. Also it takes time for Sasuke to develop his chidori while Sakura can go straight to the kill. The only thing that may hurt her is Sasuke's speed. If Sakura is faster and have water jutsu she'll have an easier time. Plus she knows where to hurt him due to her medical knowledge.

Any of you are really to agree?

For the most part this isn’t even about skill or ability, it is about Kishimotos intentions.

Yeah, this is true some of the time. However if the choice is ANYONE ELSE vs Sasuke against NARUTO vs Sasuke, Naruto is going to get the battle, which means the other person has to be the loser. Sakura has all the right reasons, but she cannot defeat the intense Naruto/Sasuke rivalry that kishimoto will eventually deliver.

QUOTE

Yes, but that was Naruto. Things are ultimately different for him and already pushed in his favor. He is the one changing people in the story, so he needs to be the one looking impressive and winning when it counts. Sakura does at points, but not nearly as frequently as Naruto needs to do it.

QUOTE

I’m not sure it was purposeful Sakura didn’t do much in the reunion, but who knows? I can agree with this point, but I don't think one surprise will be enough to defeat Sasuke. Lame him, disable him, perhaps, but there would still be a great chance she would lose. At the least she should get her point across that she has grown from the person he sees her as.

I think Sasuke definitely did train more, or at least got a lot more out of the training he did. However, I think Sasuke’s ability to improvise is pretty good. His battle against Deidara is an example where he is able to test his theories through improvising and then implement them before his opponent even knows what he is doing. Naruto, however, would be the best out of all three in the ‘make it up as you go’ category. Sakura is more likely a set a trap and plan ahead type of person.

Yes, that was a good moment for Sakura and was made to be her very own moment. However, those sound nin were very minor characters. They weren’t an extremely important character like Sasuke.

Orochimaru was lame himself.

Kishimoto, when asked if Sakura would be hokage, laughed and said ‘no way’. I think given the question if Sakura could defeat Sasuke, he might do the same. The hokage title is MEANT for Naruto, the same way Sasuke’s defeat is, ultimately, meant for Naruto.

QUOTE

She is willing as seen in the battle with Sasori to sacrafice her body to get that one big hit in. And we all know what that one big hit can do.

Sasuke too is willing to sacrifice his body, and anyone else, for his revenge. Sakura has one chance of surprise in a battle, most likely. I don’t think Sasuke will be one hit KO’d.

I guess I’m one of the few who wants to see Sakura fight and defeat Karin. I look at it as more of a symbolic sort of battle; present Sakura versus her old self who chased Sasuke (Karin). I can’t help but think Karin was created to act like a more extreme fangirly Sakura for that purpose, but who knows.

QUOTE

Not sure how it is near 100% when you didn’t really discuss Sasuke’s skills and how Sakura would defeat them. Basically you said Sakura can find a way because she is one of the good guys, which isn’t always good enough. Since I believe we are talking about a true battle here, one that goes on until completion without interruptions, I highly doubt that Sakura would be the one to win.

He's talking about the VotE fight. As in though lost the fight, Naruto did won the battle. (or something like that).

Still, I think this may be a good fight, showing Sakura's development in the way that she isn't just a strong shinobi, but also that she can fight Sasuke to kill and not hold back because she wants the old team 7 but so she can protect everyone.

I also don't believe that Sakura would be totally owned in this fight, I think she will do good dodging, maybe Kishi will let her get in a good attack, but I have no believe in her winning. Not over-estimating, or under-estimating, but just how Kishi has wrote the manga so far.

Then again, I think it could be highly unlikely that they fight anytime soon anyway.

I don't think she'd say that again. She said it once to him, and well, what did she get of it? dry.gif

Of course, I'd understand something along the lines of, say, saying he was her beloved, and that even now, he's still a beloved friend. lol

I'm pretty sure what she said to Naruto was pretty real, that she's switched from Sasuke to him, soo...
meh.

I think Kishi will show some of Sakura's moves against Sasuke since she has only fought Sasori. The only thing that could be fatal for her are Amaterasu, Susano and Kirin. Sakura's finish if she gets caught in those attacks but still I believe in her I will be cheering for her if she does fight Sasuke. :banana: sakura.gif

Sakura is the best kunoichi in Konoha, but compared to Sasuke she would probably lose. I love Sakura, she's my fave character! And I don't really like Sasuke, but with all the powers Sasuke's got, he will probably come out victorious. I just hope Naruto gets there in time arg.gif

The most likely thing is that someone will interfere. I mean, they are probably not going to have a fight from beginning to end. If Sasuke gets exhausted enough in his fight with Danzo, Sakura could have some sort of chance. Still... although I don't want to see her to lose, I can't picture it any other way. Sasuke is supposed to be this all-powerful baddie now. He wouldn't end up losing to Sakura. sad.gif

If Sakura and Sai take Sasuke and Kiba takes Karin, then midway Naruto and reinforcements arrive... well, that'd be interesting too.
Three things I can't help but agree with --Click here to view--
“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”

“Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it.”

“I miss you when something really good happens, because you are the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you are the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when I lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other; for those were some of the best times of my life.”

Perhaps Kishi has in store for Sakura to encounter Sasuke when he the fight against Danzou ends, of course I'm hoping that Kakashi will caught up with her. By the time Sasuke ends the fight he will be too tire to even fight back this will be Sakura and everyone's chance to take him out but Madara is present which means he will interfere and take Sasuke away. But I'm hoping that Kishi makes Sakura see the kind of person Sasuke has become so she completely changes her opinion of him and possibly erase any lingering feeling she may still have for him. sleep.gif

Theres a lot of variables in these fights and I won't be able to make a completely accurate assumption until the fight with Danzo ends in 32 chapters.
