She could have learned both. There's no reason to not have learned medical ninjutsu. Shes one of the best.

That's not really an opinion it's more like a fact and I'm not trying to be mean but neji was about the cut the spider ninja web with each chakra point on his body

I wouldn't say that honestly. Sakura's chakra control
Excels in the medical field where Neji's and the Hyuga excels in combat. While Neji's chakra control was precise enough to cut those spider webbing, I wouldn't say Neji has the skill to remove the poison from Kankuro's body with water without killing him as Sakura did. Even Chyo( Tsunade's rival in the medical field) was impressed by the level of chakra control she had when she performed this. Just because Neji kicks ass in battle using chakra control doesn't make him better at it than the #3 top medical ninja in the world. They simply apply it in different fields.

Also I might add that in combat, Sakura isn't actually using physical strength. It has been noted by Tsunade, Jiraiyah, Kakashi, Chyo, Kabuto, etc that it takes an extremely high level of chakra control to be able to focus chakra into a single point in the fist the release it all instantaneously upon contact with an object. As well as focusing chakra in the forehead for 3 years while still performing complex medical procedures and using chakra during combat.

Last but not least. How many ninja have praised Neji for his precise chakra control and how many times has it been noted since part I about Sakura's level of chakra control? See where I'm going with this?

See here that is a impressive feat for a normal ninja because for a normal ninja putting chakra to your hand is a hard skill

2.sakura best medical feet are done sitting down relaxing while Neji has to do his in the heat of battle

3. Yes like you said that is impressive for a normal person but Hyuga I able to put in their fingertips which is more chakra in a smaller area

4.And he was praise a few times for his chakra control once was with the battle Naruto and the other was with the spider guy I forget his name both times they praise them

No, because Kishi can't make genjutsu interesting to utilize in combat.

GEnutsu would be too Op for her, it works along the basis of Chakra Control, Remote chakra control so to speak, and no one can out chakra control her, so she wins.

The intial hype pointed in that direction but Kishi didn't follow up with it. I think this was mainly the case because Kishi never took an interest in Sakura in Part 1 and was a plot fodder but because she was in Team 7 she had to do something special, hence he just crammed her master's moveset into her.

Sakura was a genius in terms of Chakra Control and that improved exponentially through Tsunade's training and Sakura has a high intellect which has been shown ever since the beginning of Part 1, so she met the pre-requisites needed to be a Genjutsu User. Too bad Kishimoto never expanded on that.

She should have learn both, honestly. But Kishi doesn't care about Sakura or female characters in general.

Unless it's Godruto or Lordsuke.

Other than that, Jesura negs.

Edit: Didn't read the colored part. :/

Genjutsu as a skill itself was never developed in the manga, we literally only have Kurenai and the MS techniques for genjutsu. I dont think Sakura should have learnt it instead maybe additionally. but then she wouldnt have been able to have her skills as developed in medical ninjutsu, like how Ino is a medic but also is apart of Ino-shika-cho first so doesnt have the yin seal and stuff (that we know of)

I always thought Kurenai should have taught Hinata some genjutsu or something as Hinata always felt weaker than her sister and neji in using the traditional hyuuga techniques. I still dont know what Kurenai ever taught her team but thats another story...
