Check this.I converted one! Rejoice brothers (in the Old Testament sense, when everyone was covered by the term 'man,') for another joins our cause!
Huh... I don't think I've ever actually admitted to being a NaruSaku crusader before. Odd that. Oh well. None hate the Sasuke-bird more than I!
Update: After reading your Sakura vs. Hinata thread Faucon, my eyes are hurting. A lot. It's like lemon juice or something was squirted in there. I'm probably bleeding. How can people be so... foolish? I will admit that it is not right for me to call people stupid for stating their opinions, but these people are
retarded. That's not generally a word I use, as you may have noticed, but I feel it is rather appropriate here.

I don't think that Kishimoto made Hinata get such respect from her fight with neji for nothing.....however the serving tea part is just her being her usual nice self. And as for Hinata's motivation....she would not have made it to the elimination matches if it weren't for her ambition to do so. It almost seems that Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke wouldn't have made it to the finals without kabuto.
In the future I see sakura and hinata very equal as the medical arts and soft hand techniques are very similar. Both of these fighting styles target the internal
If Hinata and Sakura fight three years from now I predict a stalemate as they are both intent on destroying each others internal organs. If Hinata and Sakura we're to be paired up before this three year skip I feel that Hinata would come out on top. Both Hinata and Sakura have massive potential. It would be hard for even Hinata to deal with a giant slug.
Is this even based on the manga? Are they even paying attention? Since when does Hinata have massive potential? I sure haven't seen this and I've read the manga very, very carefully.
I would like to take a moment and remind everyone what chakra control is for: Chakra control is for everything. Chakra boosts everything. Period. Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Kinjutsu, Kenjutsu, Hijutsu, Doujutsu, all the freaking jutsu, every single one of them is powered by chakra. Don't believe me? Rock Lee and Uchiha Itachi are faster than the eye, even the Sharingan ones. How is this even possible, if not for boosting your physical prowess with chakra? Itachi doesn't seem to be the sort to run for hours on end, day after day after day until he achieved such a speed. He does it with finesse, because he's a badass mofo. Rock Lee does it with brute force, pushing himself harder and harder. He can't use ninjutsu or genjutsu, which means his chakra control is probably even worse than Naruto's, so he's got to push and do everything the hard way.
Sure, Lee may not be able to use jutsu, but he sure as hell throws a lot of chakra around with those crazy taijutsu moves. He's got to have a ton of the stuff.
Chakra control = crazy strength/speed/toughness
That's how Kabuto survived a Rasengan. By reinforcing his abdomen with chakra before it was disintegrated.
It is physically impossible for Sakura to have pulled the mast out of a boat and swung it like a baseball bat. She's not big enough to balance, her arms aren't long enough to get a proper grip, and she shouldn't be strong enough to do the deed. But she did. That's what chakra control can do on the physical side. That's why Taijutsu is just as dangerous as Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
If you hit someone hard enough before they can fight back, then the fight is over.
Striking first is nice, but striking last is better. No one ever adds the corrolary 'but doing both is best.'
Sakura should be dangerous. Very very very dangerous. Give her some techniques and some goddamn variety, and the girl should be able to handle most of the stuff that comes her way.
And why does everyone think the Byakugan can see through Bunshin no Jutsu? It can't see through Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, and we've never seen the interaction between Byakugan and Bunshin, so we have no reason to believe that it can. In fact, since we have seen it can't see through one, we have to assume it
can't see through the other, because this is the way logic works. Always assume the disadvantage unless demonstrated otherwise.
Shoot them, Aethos. Shoot them all.
