Karin is just like Ino, but her healing is much more proficient and she is a sensory type. Compared to Jugo and Suigetsu, Karin was the most useful and the one who protected and heal Sasuke the most, and like CAG said, switch Karin with Sakura in the Kage summit and Sasuke would have died.
Switching with Pre-Arc, Then yes he would.

War arc Sakura with her seal > Karin's healing. Adding the fact sakura is a far better fighter, Monster strength, Being able to heal through her summon (meaning she doesn't even need to be close to sasuke to heal him).

War arc sakura would of been more useful to sasuke's Summit fight than karin in fighting/healing terms.

Sakura is for wizards [stays on the front lines while the wizard casts his spells or needs to recharge]

Karin is for warriors [stays behind and gives the warrior intel on the enemy, will use her chakra chains to get cheap shots in or capture]

There really isn't any evidence that can prove that Karin's healing more competent (proficient) and her healing related skills (proficiency) aren't above Sakura's.

Where would Sasuke be if Sakura wasn't next to Obito in Kaguya's dimension, after losing Naruto to Kaguya's Shikotsumyaku?

Sasuke recognizes her power, how did he even know she was a medic. Sakura is the best medic to have on your team besides Tsunade. Sasuke knew that.
Dont play Sakura cheap.
Sasuke never said that he needed Sakura or that her powers were unique like he did to Karin. He just said that it was good that she was a medic.

Agreed, but do you think that war arc Sakura could have taken out the Buddha on her own?

Karins sensory skills >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sakura's in every single way.
Hmmm, Katsuyu can detect there chakra and send Sakura a visual on the person, where she can see weapons, and what not, And Sakura being a medic would be able to use that visual to determine their weaknesses, and if they are vulnerable in anyway. Karin Sensory powers are pretty bad ass, but against Sakura intellegent and Katsuyu sensory. Sakura would be the better fit,

He was Using her, Nothing more.

She was no use to him, He simply needed her to heal karin who sasuke knew was far more useful to him.


Katsuyu and Sakura and connected, she can see and sense what Katsuyu can, if she chooses to. And Her sensory skill is one of the most powerful
Plus you shot yourself in the foot with your first scan.

katsuyu clearly stated she noticed/sensed the kyuubi's chakra inside everyone while she was healing, Yet sakura is no indiation what so ever and she even stated herself she thought it was gone

One of the best sensor skills my ass if she cannot even sense chakra that her summon clearly could.

Nope.

Karin doesn't need to waste time summoning nor does she need to wait for that summon to split/scatter itself around the field.

Karin senses when she feels like it, In far more Detail and at a far better range. As i said my last reply, Sakura couldn't even sense the remaining kyuubi chakra that was left over inside people.

Piss easy task for karin.

Obito was a karin fan too. He, oro and sasuke described her as 'very useful to have' on their side.

Bringing up other topics that has nothing to do with my post.

If you want to give Sakura a pat on the shoulder for rescuing Sasuke then go ahead. Still doesn't change what I said.

It was greatly implied, dont do it.
He called Karin useless

And Sakura can take down Buddha, Tsunade had to be restricted at the moment, they were low on chakra.
And her power are unique to her and Tsunade, Sakura and Tsunade are on a whole new level of medical ninjutus

Even though Sasuke did deduce this on his own as well, Karin was able to figure out Izanagi, and overall her sensory ability allowed Sasuke to get to Danzo as quickly as possible (even though she also was not enough to get him through the Summit alone and Tobi's interference was what really set up their fight). There is also the convenience of the bite-healing/chakra transfer over Sakura's healing (and she was not confirmed to have katsuyu at the time either iirc, which further dampens her utility).

Ultimately, Karin's healing is more convenient/versatile (and she has more chakra), and her sensory abilities are ridiculously good (this is what really separates her from Sakura and it cannot be emphasized enough).

Katsuyu blitzed everyone in the leaf at a moments notice, that summoning time is really invalid.
Sakura couldn't but Katsuyu could, and as I said before, it only work when the byakugou users wants it too.
Katsuyu can just tell her.

He also considered Sakura useless after he choked her and almost stabbed her with a Chidori.

And Karin was only useless after Sasuke completed killing Danzo. Sakura during that time would not have even gotten him that far.

Don't do it.

I did read, just like you interjected Ino who's irrelevant to the topic at hand - I interjected Sakura who is relevant to topic at hand, in the attempt to redirect the argument back to it's original primus.

The topic at hand is based around "Support" to a team.

Sakura transferring chakra to Obito in order to retrieve helpless Sasuke form a desert wasteland is the epitome of being a support ninja.

It's close...they can both heal,both have destructive power...but karin has sensing so i say karin...

Sakura has katsuyu so she can heal a large group so a betrer battlefield support would be sakura

Just for one shinobi however karin would be better
