Sakura will lose because temari :X
Do you think Temari can solo Sakura?

I personally think Sakura is fast enough to blitz the opposition. she punched. On the other hand, in the beginning of Shippuden, who was propelled by the Kyuubi chakra roar from KN3 Naruto. I think we can all agree that Sakura's punch is much stronger than a Kyuubi chakra roar therefore a target punched by Sakura should travel faster as well. Also Sakura's opponents are probably around the same level of speed/reactions as early Shippupden Sakura who can't react to something slower than her war arc self.

What do you think?

Err well here Sakura has 3 people to think about and Temari would carry that team lbh and Ino will get her if she's caught up with temari

One v One, is situational, I think Sakura is smart enough to handle range attacks by temari and also possesses byakugo so a win is likely but temari is strong too so idk

I feel like that time with kabuto she was not prepped to react, Sakura's evasion skills are inconsistent in the manga

Sakura could blitz from a certain distance, we've seen her move pretty quickly, even from that kaguya arm that was really fast according to Naruto.

I don't even remember a single speed feat in any area from Temari. Benefit of doubt says that by the War Arc she should be able to put up a block to a 20m Shunshin, though that's pretty much irrelevant since using her hands will just mean she loses them, and using her fan means she loses it. Wind Cast net would shred Sakura, though. The way she could land it if Sakura decides to go for one of the other two first, Ino being the most benificial choice, since she's pretty much useless here. Seeing her speed, Temari would retreat way back and just start keeping Hinata alive by pestering Sakura with wind attacks. The way I see the attack landing is by Hinata standing in front of Temari, letting herself get netted along with Sakura who'll still be recoiling from her punch colliding with what's left of Hinata to be able to dodge.

Though that being said... Sakura wins like 8 times out of 10.

True, but do you think the three will spread around to make it impossible for Sakura to see each individual or do you think they'll stand in the same area to give support to Temari? If they are in Sakura's LoS, Sakura will know when anyone is going to attack and then react accordingly. If they decide to spread around, Sakura would rush to Ino and take her out. Immediately afterwards, she'd turn her gaze to Temari and attempt to get behind her. When Temari is casting a jutsu, she has to swing her fan which Sakura can anticipate much easier than Sasori's finger movements.

Temari can counter Byakogou if she manages to hit Sakura with slicing winds but I agree that Sakura has what it takes to evade them, gradually get closer as she gets used to the attacks and then once close enough, outright blitz her.

She was staring ahead and clearly saw Naruto use his roar. She was just not fast enough at that particular time. At this point in the manga, Sakura got blitzed my many things including 3rd Kazekage puppet, Sasuke, Omoi, Kabuto being sent flying via Naruto's roar. Sakura was over 10 m away when she got hit by Kabuto so a faster war arc Sakura should be able to blitz characters with similar reaction times to her early Shippuden self from a decent distance.

Yeah I was picturing them spread out more so than being together per say.

Also, yes that's why I was saying I think she is smart enough, she would know when the attacks are coming and so on. Also byakugo always has that initial element of surprise.

And oh, you're right I forgot. Ill never know why kishi had Sakura be so slow for the most part of the beginning when evasion was a big thing. But it wasn't terrible, it definitely improved in the war arc though. I agree with the last part.

One things for sure though, i want to see more Sakura and Temari team action. The 5 seconds we got was pretty sweet.

Temari had a bunch of speed feats in part one which include . She also managed to react to Shikamaru's shadows even when she only noticed them when they .

In Shippuden, her reactions are pretty featless because she's used for support and doesn't get the opportunity to show much. However portrayal wise, she, as well as the others she was attacking with, should be able to handle base 3rd Raikage's speed or else they'd all get taken out just as easily as the fodders Sasuke owned. Though base YS Sakura should be faster than base Sandaime and Byakogou Sakura is faster still.

But I do wonder what happened in the fight with the 3rd Raikage. He did end up using near Temari. Temari should know how fast a lightning armoured Raikage is yet she thought it was a good idea to get close to him. She is supposed to be smart though and maybe thinks she can react.

As for Temari blocking, true, but I think she might be able to cast a jutsu fast enough if the starting distance is at least 20. which is a faster process than Darui using shunshin or else Darui wouldn't have opted to use laser circus when . In order for Sakura to be so fast that Temari can't use okamaitachi no jutsu, Sakura would have to be even faster than laser circus which is a stretch based on how that attack was . The only problem with this is that I've proved that Temari can cast ninjutsu faster than Sakura can blitz from 20 but Temari won't know when Sakura would try blitzing and from which direction unlike Darui telling the others when he was about to attack.

I disagree with Ino being useless though. She can to Temari, which would allow Temari to always know Sakura's location, or at the very least grant Temari sensory abilities thus increasing her own reaction time.

As for Temari retreating after Ino gets blitzed, how does she do that when Ino herself will start right next to Temari which means Sakura will be beside her once Ino is taken out? If Hinata is standing right infront of Temari, Sakura's punch would send Hinata flying towards Temari so Temari won't have the time to shoot a jutsu.

And oh, you're right I forgot. Ill never know why kishi had Sakura be so slow for the most part of the beginning when evasion was a big thing. But it wasn't terrible, it definitely improved in the war arc though. I agree with the last part.

I think at that point she was just supposed to be chuunin level so jounins/kages were supposed to beyond her league including speed/reactions. Once she unlocked her YS, Kishi no longer thought her to be a chuunin level ninja and hence her speed/reaction feats soared.

I agree with your last statement wholeheartedly.

Sakura wins quite easily, they can't produce an attack to incapacitate her faster than she can Shanaroo them.
If they try to attack, they leave themselve open for attack,and get wrecked.

Temari can immobile with wind? I do think you are trolling though.

OT: I change my mind, Temari is too badass to lose to Sakura. As soon as the fight start, Temari swings her fan cutting Sakura to pieces.

Just kidding.

Sakura jumps to super punch, then Temari uses wind to balance the gravity strenght with her own wind strenght (not more, not less). That little second of inmovilization makes it. Not trolling.
