so sakura is just a tsunade rip off

[Turson]

Before, haters called her useless. Now, when they cant call her that they say shes just Tsunades rip off. Oh well...

 

[valandil988]

Ummm did Kishi confirm that the "only reason" Tsunade is alive is because she is related to a clan that has been almost wiped out?

Furthermore, maybe Sakura has developed her own techniques, she has already mastered high level jutsu's at the age of 15/16. I'm sure she's got a couple of more suprises underneath her sleeve.

Hmm maybe but somehow I have my doubts. I'm not hating on her, I'm actually hating on kishi for creating a character that has developed themselves into a metaphorical corner =_=

I hope that Kishi takes Sakura's development along a different path compared to Tsunade. Original jutsu please. Sakura has mastered Tsunade's trump card nows the time to do something different like Naruto being a better sage and throwing the Rasenshuriken.

This has already been addressed, Sakura's seal is the first step in mastering Tsunade's techniques, its the initial form of the Yin seal. IE it is different but not better, at least not yet, if she takes it in a different direction than Tsunade does then yes she may be able to surpass her.

It's been confirmed it's not a better version? Where did they confirm that? The basic seal sakura has is the name of Tsunade's 2nd state of her yin seal. After creation rebirth.

You sir obviously don't know how genesis rebirth and strength of a hundred work.... Genesis rebirth and its more advanced form work by forcing the cells in wounds to rapidly divide and regenerate repairing the wound at an accelerated rate. This has the down side of causing rapid aging. Cells can only divide so many times before they are killed off by the body to prevent cancer from being a problem.

This is stated multiple times in the Manga as the reason for why Tsunade pretends to be young, because she should look young if not for her using this jutsu. Tsunade would have had to potential to out live everyone if she hadn't used this jutsu. Does Jiraiya look old? They are the same age and he isnt even a Senju....she should look 25 lol.

IE This jutsu will kill you eventually if you rely on it. It will also cause the user to look far older than their true age. IE a twenty year old would look forty or even fifty. The only reason Tsunade isn't dead right now from using the jutsu over her life time is Senju DNA, which allows her some relative leeway with regards to premature aging. So to speak she has more years to spend than say Sakura who will not be able to use that jutsu 1 or 2 times for fear of looking like an old lady. Its that simple.

So unless Kishi ass pulls Sukura a Senju then she quite simply can't even match Tsunade in her own techniques, she might be able to surpass her if she comes up with her own jutsu.

Uzumaki can live to 120 150, using such a dangerous jutsu for them would be far more tenable, for example had anyone other than Nagato used the Gedo mazo against hanzo it would have killed them as it too caused rapid ageing.

I would like to see the scan where it's stated it makes you age faster.

Also strength of a hundred is just focusing your chakra to a point and exploding it with a single punch, that has nothing to do with cellular reproduction

Wrong again, strength of a hundred involves healing without hand seals alongside enhanced monstrous strength. Basically its genesis rebirth without the need for direction from Tsunade. Read the manga, or better yet read a proper translation like Manga stream.

yeah.........no.

dude seriously SHE WAS USELESS FOR ALMOST THE WHOLE SERIES THEN SHE STARTS BUSTING OUT TSUNADE'S MOVES.
what else would u expect?....

Sakura haters are truly funny.

Still no scan about the pre-mature aging? Genesis Rebirth is what allows healing without hand signs. Releasing the yin seal increases chakra pool which allows for more powerful versions of Tsunade's chakra infused punches.

again... some scans would be nice. I would gladly admit my mistake, otherwise your condescension seems quite hollow.

Yeah....so lazy you can't look up the manga yourself, if your too lazy to look it up I really don't care. But if you aren't lazy look up the manga pages pertaining to the recent show case of two techniques: strength of a hundred used by Tsunade against Madara. There you will see Madara state that it utilises not only immense strength but also healing without hand seals something only Hashirama could originally do. And Genesis rebirth, look at the initial showcase of that technique when Naruto and Jiraiya retrieve Tsunade to become Hokage.

Or better yet just look up Naruto Wiki, its more or less accurate.

Look at the trivia section of Creation rebirth, it says Tsunade must direct the chakra intentionally for healing unlike strength of hundred. End of story.

Tsunade is her mentor, and she doesnt have Bijuu within her or Doujutsu, so what did you expect?

Just the fact that shes able to use these techniques is a great feat for her.

 

[OopsWrongHole]

I agree though wish Sakura did something that made her a bit different to Tsunade.

 

[Miiami]

Haters, being proud of their stupidity. How can you not feel embrassed. :erm:

LOL I'm not lazy, I'm taking you to task. You're the one telling me to re-read the manga, but in reality I know the pages I'm asking you for don't exist. The manga has only stated it shortens lifespan.

Also wiki's aren't credible sources.

I did make a mistake though, I didn't realize when you said Strength of Hundred you were referring to Strength of a Hundred Techniques. I thought you were talking about her super strong taijutsu. That was my bad, but a digression ultimately.

The main point is... no meniton of premature aging still, hmm

 

[Artaya]

Didn't read anything but the post title. Yes, she is, but so is every freaking character in this generation from the hidden leaf village except Naruto and Sasuke. We can assume the adults all copied off someone we never saw.

 

[Bansho Tenin]

i want to know if Aoda is Manda's offspring.

 

[Beatrix]

ok im not hating on her but i really thought she would summon something another slug other than katsuyu. i mean even though naruto meant to summon gamabunta n got gamakichi instead the fact is, that he isn't just a weaker copy of jiraiya.

i mean both naruto n sasuke have their own abilties that differ from jiraiya n orochimaru yet sakura has shown nothing that tsunade can't do.

i was never fond of her but she is losing points fast.

Heh - yeah, I thought perhaps she'd summon a different Slug, one who had slightly different techniques from Tsunade's and who Sakura had developed some new techniques of her own with... but it's not to be.
Then again, I was mostly concerned about her summoning Katsuyu away from Tsunade...

But yeah, there's obviously a lot we didn't know (or Naruto didn't) about Sakura's development and training with Tsunade. I think it would be fair to say she's more like Tsunade's equal in terms of skill/capability - though obviously not experience. But regardless, she's mastered Tsunade's highest ranked techniques, those deemed the pinnacle of medical ninjutsu. Techniques Shizune couldn't master herself, techniques no one else has apart from Tsunade - techniques Orochimaru envied.

All that in itself is quite impressive - Tsunade is one of the legendary Sannin - she's the Godaime Hokage and the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and she taught/has faith in Sakura.
That in itself makes me think that perhaps she has at least one more trick up her sleeve. Maybe. Hopefully.

... I don't know why people treat Sakura's accomplishments like they're nothing. They're something, which is after all much better than nothing.
She just healed the entire Shinobi Alliance in one jutsu... that's no small feat.

And I say all that as someone who isn't particularly fond of Sakura. I dislike her personality, I find her somewhat callous, cruel and incredibly selfish.
But flawed characters are best - not everyone is perfect and well, I can't think of a single character in Naruto-verse who is.
But as she became a more capable shinobi I learned to tolerate her more.

In Sakura's defence; it's not her fault she isn't a Jinchuriki - nor is it her fault she doesn't possess a Blood Limit or Dojutsu like the Sharingan and EMS, or isn't a Senju or Uzumaki.
... the fact she somewhat keeps up with them and supports them is all the more impressive because she doesn't.
That and she's a med-nin, her priority is to heal and support - and the sooner people realise the importance of that, the better.

I know some people are hopeful that it'll come out that she's got some Senju blood in her but it doesn't seem incredibly likely to me - you'd think a trademark of their bloodline would be impressive chakra reserves which isn't something Sakura had in the beginning.


EDIT: Also, it wouldn't matter so much if she is just a copy of Tsunade and hasn't yet created new techniques of her own.... IF TSUNADE IS DEAD. At least Tsunade's techniques won't die with her.

 

[GrayParadise]

But they're all SO6P rip offs.

 

[Itachi75]

well what did you expect? she is a weaker verson of tsunade and that will never change unless Sakura gets senju dna

 

[Turson]

Sakura is meant to surpass Tsunade one day. Even now, the only thing she lacks compared to Tsunade is self regeneration, yet shes only 16.

 

[SanguineJackal]

Last week, the haters were saying if she healed the alliance she might get points.

Now her slug is revealed to be Katsuyu and that somehow makes her healing the alliance less important? Because it's Katsuyu?

Honestly, for the haters, Sakura will never be good enough. So stop whining and focus on other characters instead of constantly bashing Sakura when you KNOW she will never be up to snuff for you.
