We still don't know much about her family/clan. Actually we know nothing about them. Are they ninjas or civil ppl?
If there is a Haruno clan, then she should've inherited some powers.
On the other hand, if her parents are ordinary ppl it makes me love her even more. I mean all her growth is due ho her hard work then.
Many more people in this world are actually ordinary, Minato, Jiriaya, Gai, Kakashi, even the third hokage being from a clan.
The sarotobi clan is the dominant one in konha for the majority of the story, yet they have no initial abilties or kekki genki, their only real abilities are kinda in league with the uzumaki, the sarotobi clan has good control over fire type jutsu and can learn or gain experience with many in a moderate pace, hence why Konhahamaru can use the rasengan like Naruto in good effort. Asuma was the same with his fire techniques and his wind affinity. Third hokage was said to have known all the techniques in konha one could learn.
Sakura is ordinary, her parents just simple civilians, nothing special. Yet you can count Sakura's abilities as these:
-Intelligence- (not shikamaru smart but still damn smart)
-Perfect Chakra control- so while she is limited in stamina like any normal person, she can last longer because she wastes nothing
-Genjutsu talent- not being able to use it like many of us thought but she does have a talent in resisting and breaking it, seen many times like when kabuto put the stadium in the leaf to sleep, she was aware and got out of it fast, again in the fight with the fake Itachi, she was able to break naruto out with Chiyo.
-Chakra enhanced strength- Basically tsunades power passed on, she can amplify any punch or kick and give it the force of so much it has the strength to shatter solid rock and break iron itself. You do not want to be hit by this! Plus it gives her the ability to literally manipulate the environment like making debris or make-shift projectiles or barriers during a fight, like slamming into the earth to make an earth wall etc.
-Medical jutsu/knowledge- her all star talent, sakura is very talented in medical jutsu and this gave her information on cells, DNA, and the human body itself. Sakura should also know vital points along the body, she knows how to treat wounds, remove poision, I have a feeling its much more than what we are actually shown considering this is Tsunade's knowledge she is displaying. No surpise if she ends up surpassing Tsunade. She has not yet but she can. Sakura at least showed enough talent to turn back the wounds naruto had on himself after Yamato freed him from the 4 tails form, she turned back the burn marks or so very fast suprisingly considering her own wound was slow to heal.
-Dodging and evasion- anyone can do this, but being a medical ninjas main purpose is this, being taught to dodge and only fight in personal defense but avoid fighting as much as possible, Tusnade trained Sakura to be an expert in dodging, mainly shown during her fight with Sasori, yeah Chiyo helped but she said even she did not need to do much to actually help Sakura.
-Analytical ability- Again part of the intelligence but Sakura learning to dodge was in part with learning how the enemy attacked, if she knows whats coming she knows how to avoid it. When tobi was toying with them, she figured out his power early on in the Itachi pursuit arc.
-Posion, Antidote, and Sleeping Gas- Basically from the early Sasori antidotes and posion and sleeping gas tools in the 5 kage summit, Sakura does have a knowledge of how to use these, she has not used them all that much but its still something, she has knowledge of specific tools which does give her some flexibility in combat.
That's not bad for a normal person, just wish Kishi did more with her and showed what she can do with this skill set.
Also @ Codus N, Sakura may be able to get into the fight but its bonkers to think that she won't play a role in some part when Naruto and Sasuke come face to face again, yeah this could be the moment she turns to naruto, maybe she will give Naruto some talk about concern but also happiness like he should complete the promise for himself/all of team 7, not just her. What I mean is like she could give Naruto an honesty speech about what she learned from something before, kinda like in Avatar the last airbender when Zuko tried to join the group, it was only when he told Aang that he had to restore his own honor on his own will and validation and that fire was a powerful element to control, Aang accepted him. In a similar way Sakura could experience some mental development and re-confront Naruto or come into the fight vs Sasuke and do that 'Big Help" for him she always wanted to do. We know Sakura will have some interaction, its just not sure if this will be kept to mental development on both of them or if she will play a physical role, mainly because this is Naruto and Sasuke's fight, Sakura could come in and help naruto proving something to him though, it could go a hundred ways, but only thing we know for sure is Sakura will have important interaction with Naruto, something that can do much more than 615.
Besides one thing to clear up on 615, as much as I love Sakura, it would be out of place if she gave the speech to Naruto, this is Neji who died, who has correlation with Neji? Hinata. One thing many NaruHina fans always dismiss is how would Hinata act in place if she was present for the fight with Sasuke? They don't realize how out of place this would be, the two have no relation as far as the series go. Hinata has no importance on team 7, no matter what happens, Hinata cannot enter this area. In this same way, cause it was neji who died, don't think we can just insert Sakura here. The moment passed, its done, it was friendship, not love. Sometimes you need to look at the moment and think does this piece fit here? Sakura could have been used, but this was neji who died, if it was Ino who died, Sakura has more connections to Ino than Neji, if she died then yes, Sakura could have been perfect for the speech otherwise, cause it was neji, obviously it was at Hinata even me wishing it was not but I would not want one of my own favorite characters to be out of place.
