Chatte while I appreciate the love you have for Sakura, there would have been no timeframe in which she could have trained for the Slug Sage Mode.

Kabuto had plenty of time, he was off-screen so much that he had enough time to go around the Narutoverse and collect DNA from all of the legendary Shinobi of the past, learn the Edo technique, learn Dragon Sage Mode, gather sacrifices for the Edo's.

Sakura has simply had too much screen time ( still not that much ) to have trained for the technique. Sakura is a much more focused on character then Kabuto, she wouldn't be able to do the same thing as him and just pop out with a technique, if we don't see the development of it then it'll just be one big gaping plot hole.

Also the anime may not be canon, but the fillers show that she was in Konoha the entire time of Naruto's training. Why is this? Because the anime wouldn't create a major contradiction like that, Kishimoto would've scolded them on the spot for not thinking about the time-frame of the show with Sakura's training and helping out Konoha.

Sorry, but she can't just show up with Slug Sage Mode. It's not going to happen Chatte, but I really do appreciate how much you love Sakura. You stick up for her every day, keep on fighting!

Why do people have such a problem with Sakura getting sage mode?

You didnt know that she trained for Byakugo. She might as well have trained for sage mode.
Byakugo can give her the chakra she needs (if reserves are a problem),she can work around it with super chakra control or
a combination of both. Maybe Slug mode works different, seeing they can split up and heal while working together with Sakura (using her chakra). Maybe sage mode tasks can be split up too. Or some other new jutsu or ability can be introduced to make it work.

There isnt really anything holding back a sage mode for Sakura if Kishi wants it to happen.
The story hasnt progressed in a way that it wouldnt be possible to introduce slug sage mode Sakura.

Todays chapter, with sage mode working well vs Obito, makes it even more likely to happen.
Sasuke has Juugo's power been given recently at the 4 hokages in the uchiha tablet room and he has juugo's flesh and chakra from when Bee punched a hole in his chest.
So Sasuke can go that Juugo sage mode form.

Team 7 can fight Obito with their sage modes.

What makes you think she's one of the exceptions??
Well, I already explainded why Tsunades chakra / stamina doesnt match that of Senjuu and Uzumaki. As for lifesmap...
Which is why she can abuse her regeneration technique as much as she does.
Yes, she does use it, however, you cant say its good for her.
-> Thats how Tsunades forehead looks, when she cant keep her young appearance. Its not a forehead of 55 year old woman. You can easily deduce that her lifesmap has been severly shortened.

And how do you know that she doesn't even know where the forest is? You have any proof of that? Do you think that she made a contract with the Slugs just like that with no prior info? Please. You stop it.
Naruto made a contract with the toads without going to the mountain and with no prior info. All jiraiya had to do was summon the contract or w/e which tsunade should be able to do fr the slugs/slug since only 1 slug has ever been summoned.



Edit: by the by, the bone forest is filled/ surrounded by the slugs acid, so her body would not resist physically being there, and don't say she used the byouku seal or whatever because she just barely was barely able to use it. And its not an actual tree forest but a bone forest. Just in case anyone says here durr tree iz in a forrust@@.

I guess it's too much for them to handle.

Your theory on how she could gather chakra is very interesting. Also i do believe the huge chakra reserve is required for people with not so well polished chakra control. People fail to realise sakura may very well have better chakra control than tsunade herself.

She's always been able to get the task done with way less chakra wasted than the average ninja or in her home stead naruto and sasuke. I'm sure she could balance chakras.

Everyone in this base lacks knowledge of shokkotsu forest, none of us know the requirements for the sage mode. Hell the byakugou seal could be the basis, that seal has quite a few variations.

Where is it stated that the bone forest is filled with Slug acid? Provide evidence to support this claim please.

If Sakura pulled out sage mode from nowhere at this point in the story, I would bear a grudge against Kishi. She has just revealed the Byakugo. And she hasn't gotten that much panel time despite it.

If she were to somehow asspull sage mode she would have to have much more panel time, and nothing from the past several chapters even hints towards more panel time nor has there been some forshadowing of her getting sage mode.

Also, Juugo gave part of his body (and age?) to heal Sasuke's wounds. If anything, Sasuke's chakra should always have some hint of Juugo in it since 10-15% of his body is Juugo's. And since none of his attacks have been able to wound Obito thus far, it would also be an asspull if he somehow starts dealing damage because he can "channel" the essence of Juugo.

sakura is better than both naruto and sasuke in chakra control.I am sure she is better than naruto in gathering natural energy she is one of the main characters so she will get power ups like them.Like it or not thats the truth

When they were still at the academy, agreed.

She is proficient in medical ninjutsu which requires very stable control, agreed.

She cannot gather natural energy because one first needs to have insane amounts of chakra or they would simply be overwhelmed by natural power (grampa Sage said this to Naruto right before training).

She is likely to get power-ups but she won't get sage mode for the foreseeable future. And her power-ups won't nearly be as destructive as Naruto's or Sasuke's. Like it or not that's the truth.

Massive amounts of chakra to balance and control nature energy, you can't tell me someone with better chakra control wouldnt have an easier time.

She still has better chakra control, nothing indicated ever that sasuke and naruto can now execute techniques using just the right amount of chakra and not wasting unecessarily.

Like it or not i hope if it were to happen you would accept that truth. People still arent accepting the seal XD pretty funny

Hmm...
I honestly don't think so.

Kishi wouldn't do this to us.
C'mon, he almost killed Sakura many times... And then you say she could've used "THAT" technique that has been kept a secret. Then she could've used it when she fought Sasuke, or when she fought Pain... And I doubt she would've learned it in between those arcs.

Maybe she needs Byakugo or something similar to do sage mode.
That could explain why she hasnt used it before, because it takes time. Btw, she could have trained before the war began and not have it during the attacking sasuke with kunai chapter.

I already made note of this in one of my posts...

Also, databook stats aren't enough to prove anything.

I disagree. Kishi has done many things throughout this story that has garnered "asspull" from the fanbase, so what would stop him from doing something this drastic?

Maybe the reason she never used "that" technique is because she has been storing chakra throughout the entire series of Shippuden up until this point, and if it is true, maybe she needed her seal first in order to do it.

She barely fought Sasuke, and anyone could've told you that she wasn't going to go through with it, and that whole incident was bad for her character. She never fought pain. She did her role as medic and healed/cared for the civilians, using her chakra in the process.

Could you give a link to the thread and number of a post?

They are not too accurate - that is true. However, when Tsunades stat in stamina is 3.5/5 (which is quite far from max stat) its clrear that shes no monster when it comes to in - it proves that much.
