Theory: Inner Sakura is a form of spirit transformation

[Kakooli]

You know, there's probably a good reason why Sakura, despite being a genjutsu type

was never given any real genjutsu.

...And that reason is inner Sakura.

Inner Sakura is an ethereal being that resides deep inside Sakura. She has the ability to break Sakura out of genjutsu but not only that, it's very possible that she can kill too.

When inner Sakura says "you'll be sorry" to Ino if she doesn't get out, we can presume here that Inner Sakura has the ability to kill.

Doesn't inner Sakura remind you of a certain jutsu? Yes, that's right, Dan's spirit transformation jutsu. Using this jutsu, Dan can exit his own body (like a ghost) and possess another and is easily capable of killing.

My theory is that Inner Sakura was originally intended to be used in a similar way but the idea was scrapped because she'd be too OP. The fact that Tsunade took an early interest in her is very telling. Inner Sakura is most likely an incomplete version of spirit transformation.

I think we've all accepted Inner Sakura is her schizophrenia

It's just Kishi's portrayal of her strong Yin affinity. As a very talented genjutsu type she developed a separate conscious inside of her capable of breaking through any genjutsu below MS

Didn't Inner Sakura disapear post timeskip?

Your reaching, inner Sakura is and acts the way Sakura wishes she could so instead she manifests it as an inner seperate personality. Ie; schizo

Nope, spiritual energy is derived from the person's conscious, her ability to resist genjutsu comes from her spiritual energy which is represented by inner Sakura. It's her own version of a bijuu, if she had schizo she wouldn't be fit to be the Hokage's student :lol

So you are an alt, huh thats funny. Also wow so you're saying people with mental disorders can't do things in life? Interesting

doubtful, it's not like a serious case where the other personality takes over completely. Besides, the only reason it's exaggerated so much is cause it's a cartoon. You reaching yin this and genjutsu affinity that doesn't change anything. Especially since her genjutsu feats are absolutely nil. There's nothing she's shown genjutsu wise that other k11 members haven't

Inner Sakura is her inner cancer you like spew while eating your breakfast.

This.

Inner sakura was just schizophrenia, and it disappeared in shippuden because Tsunade found out while training her and managed to heal it with medical ninjutsu.
