The other thing is we don't know a lot about the Haruno clan. I think this was done on purpose by Kishimoto. Maybe they have some kind of special jutsu or affinities for certain elements?
Kishi said that Sakura is an ordinary girl without any special background (i.e. no Kekkei Genkai, no hidden clan jutsu, no special heritage, nothing).

Which is why I felt that sage mode after the event of Pain invasion makes sense. Sakura and Tsunade were there when the frog was explaining about sage mode. They both saw the result and Sakura, in one panel, pretty much noticed how strong he gotten without looking. I think all of us can say that we don't know when the war truly start, so therefore, anything can happen between, especially on Sakura's side. I can't guarantee that it's sage mode but I'm saying if it happens, the flashback can make sense of its time gap.
It seems like Sasuke can still have the summoning to make a parallel with Sennin, but sage mode seems too late, especially since he's all about Uchiha pride and all. Plus I think the fact having Kabuto demonstrating the power of sage mode tells me that Kishi may not have plan anything for Sasuke with sage mode. Besides, he's already strong without it and pretty much setting himself up as the boss battle for Naruto, including perhaps showing the new technique from the EMS, though he could get one last power. Not sure what but we'll see.

Well between the time it took for Tsunade to recover and the time it would've taken to get to Lightning Country, and then the amount of time it would've taken just to get organized that alone would've taken at least 2 weeks, which is approximately the same amount of time it took Naruto with Shadow Clones, plus didn't Fukusaku say that not only is a large chakra supply required for Sage Mode but the bigger the person's charkra supply the easier it is for them to balance their Chakra with Natural Energy, so unless it was something like 3 months or something I don't see how they could do it.

Maybe Sakura can master an element jutsu in the epilogue or something like that, but for the main story it wouldn't really make sense. Besides, none of the Konoha 11 (except Naruto and Sasuke) use elemental techniques, they rather focus on their own specialized jutsus. So it isn't something that brings Sakura's character down, and even Tsunade who is her mentor is never seen using any elemental techniques.
Sage mode on the other hand is something I would really like for her to use before the story ends. Although, even I'll admit that the only reason I wish for it is because there's been speculation ever since Hashirama used it that not only is it the previously discussed slug sage mode, but that it's particular ability is to automatically heal the user without having to use hand seals. As in the very ability that Madara praised Hashirama of possessing that Tsunade lacked.
Tsunade to compensate obviously created the Strength of a Hundred jutsu which in turned allowed her to utilized the full power of her superhuman strength ability without breaking the medic-nin commandments. If it's true that only Tsunade knows that technique then it would be fitting for Sakura to have mastered the original one that her teacher wasn't able to, which is the original slug sage mode. With such a technique Sakura would be able to also utilize the full extent of her super strength power without breaking the medic-nin rules, and thus have more involvement in the battlefield. Kishi did say that all the characters we love were going to shine and as far as I remember Sakura also belongs to that pack despite the hate she sometimes get.
I doubt that her shining moment would be a small scene of her healing random people in the background, we have already seen her do that throughout the war. And I find it even more ridiculous that her shining moment is related to when Sasuke appears in the battlefield like other fans speculate. I mean, what do they expect? For her to team up with Sasuke to take the Juubi down, some stupid resolution that would be after she said that she would fight together alongside Naruto. After all her big talk of helping Naruto she goes to be at Sasuke's side? It's a terrible contradiction.
So putting all that out of the way the only way I can see Sakura shining is for her to be involved in the actual battle and use her super strength. It would be pretty sad for Kishi to give her Tsunade's abilities and yet restrict her to be just like any other medic nin out there. Sakura is different from regular medics, and so she should receive the appropriate treatment, and if Kishi really means to give her a shining moment that's what will happen.
If Sakura isn't going to have Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred then she should have that sage mode that Hashirama used, and that's if it's special ability really is automatic healing. And even though it might be a coincidence the fact that Hashirama's forehead symbol in sage mode resembles Sakura back symbol in her clothes really reinforce the idea that it might be foreshadowing to it. But that's just me, I won't speak for anyone else.
As for how she learned slug sage mode, if an appropriate flashback could be used it might not look forced. It could be that she only mastered it's use right before the war and thus was never able to use it before. Maybe she learned the teachings of it from a scroll Hashirama kept hidden and that's why we never see her go away like Naruto did. And the reason we didn't see her use it in the war is because she spent the majority of the time healing injured people and not fighting, but now with the danger of Madara, Obito and the Juubi right in front of them it might be the appropriate time to go all out with all the power they have in order to have an edge in this battle. Just like Tsunade by activating her healing jutsu decided to use frontal attacks instead of being support in order to have a better chance of beating Madara.

Personally I don't think Hashirama's Sage Mode was Slug Sage Mode, my reason for believing this is that when Naruto and Jiraiya used Sage Mode they had Toad eyes, and while Kabuto had Snake eyes before Sage Mode he did have that thing where he blocked off his eyes that Sasuke said snakes can do, which may also be a sign that like Jiraiya he didn't have a perfect Sage Mode but my point is that Naruto, Jiraiya and Kabuto's eyes looked just like Toads and Snakes respectively, but if you look back at Hashirama's eye and compare it to Katsuyu's they look nothing alike.
Also I just want to say about Tsunade's rules preventing Medical-nins from fighting was broken when they called for the Medical-nins to assist in fighting Obito.
