So there were some things in this chapter that didn't quite like however certain implications were that can tell us more about Tsunade.
Now, I would argue first and foremost what ever it is Sakura is about to display, unless it's genjutsu, Tsunade also possess.
Why? Notice what Sakura says and how heavily it relies on Tsunade.

It's apparent from the first red box that Sakura attributes her strength to Tsunade's training. And she goes on to say the reason that she shouldn't be underrated is because she is Tsunade's student. Which leads me to believe that what she is about to use next, her full power, is an ability Tsunade possess and trained Sakura to use.
I highly doubt that she is about to use byakugou as Tsunade blatantly says she is the only one who knows it.

So what else would require Sakura to amass a large amount of chakra, and if Tsunade does possess the ability Sakura is about to use why didn't she use it against Madara? I'm not going to speculate too heavily as to what I think she is about to use if you know me, you already know my mind on the matter.
But we see Tsunade, too eventually trying to accumulate chakra. But she stops when Susanoo goes all droopy.

Could it have been that Tsunade was about to reveal the technique Sakura was about to use?
I think so, I think the reason that Tsunade herself didn't display "Sakura's full power" is because Kishimoto needed to allow Sakura a moment to shine in a way that Tsunade has yet to do so. Furthermore, notice how long it took Sakura to prepare her chakra, in every panel we had seen of Tsunade she was usually doing something. She started the battle kicking Madara and then immediately began healing. The next time we see her she is healing Mei. Then she goes on the offensive. Thus she really didn't have time to collect chakra, as she was constantly using her own on a rather large scale. I suspect, we've not seen the last of Tsunade in the war and that she too will come forth using this technique. Also if a single technique would have made Sakura comparable in strength to Tsunade, then she would have no need to be terrified of Tsunade.

Because Kakashi essentially stopped training Sakura, during the chuunin exams (I mean he seemed completely unaware of Sakura's growth)

, and we know that her teachers since then have been Tsunade and Tsunade's other apprentice, we can reason the skills she has acquired are from her master.

Also the way in which Sakura has been said to have a chance at surpassing Tsunade has been in terms genjutsu, thus, if this is not a genjutsu I would argue Kishi does not yet intend to have her surpass Tsunade yet.

Side Note: (I didn't feel like creating a new thread for this so ) What do you think Gai's statement involving HOKAGE level means here, he could have easily said kage level, but he specifically said hokage level.

Note that Guy did not say these four hokage or those four hokage, he said four ninja of hokage level.

Meaning, those who have reach near their skill level. Obviously not Kakashi and Gai as they are just Jounin. Officially. :|

Sakura's true power is her strength and that's about it. About the Hokage thing ur right about that so naruto would be able to perform that justsu along with 3 others

Sakura's "Full power" is her yelling "SHANNAROOOO" while trying to do a punch, and then miss the target and fall to the ground. yes.

You are pretty much right, Kishi had to stop Tsunade from showing her much better feats against Madara just to let Sakura outshine her... Tsunade didn't even try to use Katsuyu before she was bisected for any kind of support... Horrible writting.

I dont know
Everyone likes complicated surprises.
But as we have seen in the recent chapters, kishis getting worst at being unpredictable.
Im gonna go with byakagou to stop overthinking things.
But you may be right.

She also could have said she's the only one who uses t because Sakura was still storing chakra, and they still don't know if she can successfully use it.

Kishis getting worst.
I think he's just getting bored by now. I mean he'd rather focus on a rewrite of his old manga than Naruto.

Who would genjutsu really work on that is on the battlefield right now? I don't think it's the only means of her surpassing Tsunade, just one of the things she could demonstrate another time. I agree with you on the part that maybe it's something Tsunade knew but never used for whatever reason.

Or maybe Sakura just meant Tsunade trained her just as good as the other sannin meaning she is now capable to fight and stuff but because of this she was able to formulate her own jutsu? Hopefully we don't flash to something completely off topic next chapter.
