Being a main character can't be used as a defense when in a versus thread. That's like saying plot no jutsu will help her when the fight.
Also Sakura hasn't shown any of those medical techniques that Tsunade Kabuto showed, although it would be pretty cool if Kishi added them to her arsenal.
being a main character in a manga usually means youre gonna be something special doesnt it?
well she hasnt shown them no, but she knows all those medical jutsu (scalpe etc) and its practically the same only its easier to do damage than heal, imagine a surgeon if you will, once you learn to use a scalpel you can easily do all kinds of damage to the body, repairing a body howeve is a lot more complex and a lot harder, so Sakura basically already showed that she could do at least most of what I described with her healing techs, we know because it takes more skill to heal with a jutsu than do damage with it
You are ignoring a few facts:
1. Sakura's Taijutsu and evasion isnt all that great.....
2. Hinata too has quite a bit knowledge about anatomy due to her byakugan and has shown slight medical knowledge.
3. Sakura's entire arsenal is based on precise chakra control.... and Hinata specializes in disrupting chakra. Which basically means one hit from Hinata can temoporarily nullify Sakura's power.
4. Sakura lacks any long range or mid range attacks.
5. In a VS comparion Main character no jutsu or plot no jutsu do not exist.
Its a very close match actually...... first one to hit will practically be the winner.
1. yes it is,weve seen that against Sasori, while she might have had Chiyos help at the start later she did quite a few awesome feats
2. so what if she has SOME knowledge about anatomy, Sakura is a professional in the field, its like comparing a high school biology student with a surgeon, also beein able to see through stuff isnt enough, you need to understand the functions etc otherwise everyone could become a doctor if they just chopped a cadaver
3. yes Hinata specializes in chakra disruption but to disable chakra entirely there are quite a few points you need to hit, also as I sayd bein able to cut internal organs and muscles with one touch is in many ways the same if not better
4. the definition of a Byakugan user is close range, they are both not good at it, but that doesnt mean they couldnt fight a long range user
5. actually it does because main characters in a series always get more attention and eventually more character development and more power ups, its a manga, being a main character does matter, its not the same as plot no jutsu, thats just luck, being a main character however is different story, main characters usually get more of everything and eventually climb to the top, it has a symbolic meaning
I don't see these two as a matter of who is stronger because the two of them fighting style is the opposite of each other Hinata fight style is called gentle fist and this fighting style dose internal damage and can disrupt, stop or increase the flow of chakra in ones body now with sakura fighting style it can be called hard fist which is the opposite of the gentle fist now this one cause external damage break bone just cause external damage.......now the ones easier to heal from or external than internal, so to just warp this up iwould say the both of them are strong in there own way ................but i think the gentle fist would cause more damages then the hard fist because internal damages take a longer time to heal that externals ones
so basically when an incredibly powerful force hits you, breaks your bones, crushes your internal organs, squashes your muscles and when those crushed bones rip through your insides your vanes ger ripped etc ... its called external damage
in the real world gentle fist doesnt exist, I wonder than how ppl can get internal injuries?
also remember when you have something that the has the ability to repair something you can use the same thing to do damage with that, only doing damage is way easier and muuuuuch faster, meaning that sacuras medical ninjutsu could do a lot of what you call ''internal'' damage just with a touc ie in the same way as Hinatas ability
