Reread chapter 695 - Kyuubi Avatar = PS, PS Chidori = KA Bijuudama, etc. Both Naruto, and Sasuke matched each others moves, and neither of them showed any exhaustion.

It wasn't until Sasuke took portions of the Bijuus chakra that he overpowered Naruto. If they were even as soon as Sasuke took the Bijuus chakra, then Naruto wouldn't have been getting owned until he received all the natural energy above ground. Nature energy is combined with the users chakra to create Senjutsu which further powers the user up. Naruto was then able to match Sasuke again hence Double RS = Indra's Arrow.

" . He was on the defensive when the fight started hence why sasuke telling him to stop holding back when sasuke absorbed the bijuu chakra thats when naruto got serious cuz he wasnt trying to die lol. "

Yeah, and was Sasuke going all out when he said that? No, he was never out of breath. He was warning Naruto, if he was really going all out them he wouldn't have calmly stopped to warn him.

And yes, Sasuke took the Bijuus chakra to overpower Naruto which would force him to go all out sooner, hence Naruto deciding to get ALL the natural energy above ground. Sasuke was fully confident on being able to defeat Naruto even before he got the Bijuus chakra, and never showed any sign of losing. Naruto was being naive, and not taking things seriously at first so he didn't go on the offensive.


" Yes sasuke rinnegan was new but PS > rinnegan abilities that bijuu PS he used no rinnegan mastery is ever gonna amount to that much power. "

You think power is more important than skill. That's not always the case. Masashi restricted Sasuke to keep him from killing Naruto within a few panels.

Ever notice how Sasuke conveniently didn't have his Sword for the Final Battle? Gaiden Chapter 6 shows Swords can harm Naruto, Sasuke's Sword easily pierced through his body, now go take a look at the first few pages of chapter 695, Sasuke teleported behind Naruto, and hit him with Chidori, If he had his Sword then he could have pierced him through the head or heart for an instant kill instead of using Chidori, and Naruto would be dead.

You are writing too much fo this matter. Its simple really i think u misunderstood me. Yes when the fight started they were even but guess what thats when sasuke said naruto was holding back. If naruto had ashua avatar under his sleeve the whole time he couldve pulled that out anytime to end the fight thats the difference here. Naruto always had ashura avatar but sasuke Bijuu PS had to be done by absorbing the bijuu chakra so case closed. At the beginning they were even but then sasuke absorbed bijuu chakra they werent even nomore naruto had to create ashura avatar to then even it up. Naruto always had ashura avatar sasuke doesnt have bijuu PS with indra arrow without bijuu chakra cuz theres no feat of that and PS > rinnegan so idk why even bring that up rinnegan abilities are only effective if naruto is in base. PS = avatar Bijuu PS = ashura avatar not that hard. :eek:uttahere:

Okay? You missed the part where Kakashi (FutureLord 6th) and Minato (Lord 4th) didn't kill Obito who was laid out on the ground defenseless after having all the Bijuus chakra taken from him.

And Naruto (Future 7th) praising him as an awesome guy, and getting pissed when Kaguya killed him.

Umm. Did you miss the part that told you that Minato was Obito's sensei and Kakashi's team mate; that the latter mourned him (excessively) for over a decade?

Isn't their hesitation justified? What is Obito to Sakura - no one. Her hesitation is hard (for me) to justify, on a personal level they aren't related with any real significance. Nor is she a delicate gentle girl, she's a med-nin... so removing an eye with skill in a way ensure minimal suffering should be within her skill set.

Now why she needs to do it shouldn't have escaped her notice, it's to save the world - yet she still hesitates. It's just one shining example of why she's a poor shinobi.

Also, should point out that Kakashi was resolved to kill Obito - Minato stopped him.


1) The world was becoming in peace, the fighting had stopped, the Shinobi nations were united, rather than fighting against each other like before.

Peace is relative, according to the filler novels it's not entirely true either - to say the fighting had utterly stopped. For a med-nin/Healer... the work never stops.
That was just an instance not placing others (in general), the village, her sensei, her team mate, her peers - first. Her desire to be with Sasuke trumps all, it's not even done out of a desire to benefit Sasuke himself. She's selfish.

2) You are forgetting how Tsunade had a big gambling problem, and owed alot of money to numerous people. She was well known as a gambler, and was also known to use jutsu to make herself look different ages to fool people as part of her gambling.

I forgot no such thing - I never said Tsunade was an ideal Hokage either, but I rank her well above and beyond Sakura in terms of capability... which, given her addiction and shady past should tell you something.


3) Wow you actually mentioned Sasuke wasn't in the village, as if you don't know why.... this isn't the beginning of Gaiden... we all know Sasuke was on a mission to save the world. In fact you contradicted yourself, trying to force Sasuke to stay in Konoha with his family would be selfish considering as a Shinobi, and as the only one with the Rinnegan to do stuff , Sasuke needed to be out of the village...so he could handle things. ..

... you've missed the point.

The point being.... SAKURA WOULD MAKE A TERRIBLE HOKAGE.

Good point, I never even thought about that. Naruto did always have the potential for Ashura avatar. But you're wrong about the Rinnegan's techniques, they definitely would have been highly effective, the whole battle wasn't fought in PS and Avatar modes.

Sakura just witnessed Obito saving Naruto's life. Pretty sure that played apart in her feelings, it's not like he was still the hated antagonist that they had been fighting against. Medical nins don't usually stab people eyes by the way, much less someone who's on their side.

The fighting was done, there was nothing big going on which absolutely needed the attention of One of the world's best medics. By the way, Kakashi was Hokage so Tsunade was around to heal the minimal injuries that people had.
It's surprising to hear anyone call medic nins...doctors, who dedicated their lives to save other people's lives, selfish. But according to you Sakura is for not being on the job 24/7, and wanting to spend time with a friend.

And I didn't miss anything, you Pointed how Sasuke wasn't in the village as if that mattered.

sasuke is the smartest intelligence wise.

Is that why Sasuke had to use his Sharingan to copy answers during the second Chunin exam while Sakura used her pure knowledge? Sasuke gained knowledge about different things from Orochimaru but Sakura did the same by working directly with Tsunade and Shizune. If it's about general information then Sakura would have a better chance knowing about it than Sasuke. Making strategies is probably what you're taking about.

Every time you speak of Sakura, their fan died a little inside...
To sum it up, Konoha is not a laughing stock...

Sakura lacks, at a most fundamental level, the ability to empathise and understand others.

She's immensely ignorant and completely inept at understanding another person's drives, ambitions, their motives etc. She habitually fails to understand everyone around her throughout the series.

Prime example would be her fake confession to Naruto, her belief that he was trying to get Sasuke back for her sake alone.
:stfu:
***** please.

Another would be the time Naruto was learning Wind Release and it took Sai... SAI of ROOT to explain things in a way for her to comprehend and understand.

She's emotionally retarded in ways that far exceed the boys, which is... saying a lot.

She also offered to leave the village (more than once) if only Sasuke would take her with him. She doesn't actually put the village high on her priority list, she doesn't ever make the hard choice for the sake of the village... she's a selfish **** who is devoted to improving herself for attention of boys to prove something that matters... what?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

She never became a med-nin to help others, she's not particuarly kind nor ambitious in making the lives of others better.
So in that respect, Tsunade tops her - even if she is a drunk and spent years AWOL.

Well considering that the majority of his strategy making is depended on his ability to use the Sharingan to read, copy, and predict jutsus; it's not all intelligence; Sakura is smarter knowledge wise which is what fits the Hokage's duty; battle strategy doesn't actually fit into that as big since the Hokage doesn't really actually need to take up students; only Tobirama and Hiruzen took up a team while Tsunade took up 1.

For once a good topic.

I'd say, yes overall.

Lineage and nepotism aside, Sakura has the brains, respect from the ppl, and mental fortitude ( when Sasuke's not in the picture...he's her poison) to do the job.

Being hokage isn't only about strength, you have to be able to command the ppl around you, make tough decisions, and be willing to die for the village. I think if Sakura was called upon to make that sacrifice she would.

She'd have the administrative role on lock.
She'd have the visionary/leadership role in lock as she has the respect of the ppl
She'd have the resolve to protect the village from outside threats now that Sasuke is her husband on paper

God help them if he ever hypothetically went rogue again though. ***** would be curled up in a corner crying for Naruto as the village burns and an angry and disgusted Sarada looks down on her weak mother when it comes to her dad and runs off to help save the ppl.

Ok bye.

Sakura is another Tsunade. If Tsunade couldn't handle a simple S rank student of Jiraiya, then would you really think Sakura could become a good Hokage? L0L

Pain could've destroyed any village. She kept everyone in the village alive, that was her main duty...

Yeah not like Pain was a skilled Rinnegan wielder would fodderize any Kage in their reign bar Naruto ,Hashirama, and maybe Minato.

I'd actually place my bet on Sakura. She is the Student of the 5th and 6th Hokage and (I'm being realistic here) aside from Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi, the only other one who has faced Kaguya and lived to tell the tale.


She is also the 3rd strongest ninja in the village currently (no this is not a troll she actually is)

Sasuke just doesn't seem like Hokage material. Not that he lacks the power, but I don't picture him doing paper work all day behind a desk XD

Candidates I think would be Shikamaru, Sakura, Sasuke if not Kakashi.

Sakura because she is the apprentice of the 5th hokage, who was the grand daughter of the 1st and student of the 3rd. The 3rd was also the student of the 2nd, who was the brother of the 1st. Her master was also said to be equal to the man who was the 4th's master. Sakura is also student of the 6th and teammate of the 7th. And wife of Sasuke and queen to the Uchiha. And has proven her strength and herself as a major asset to the lead village. She is fit to be hokage and is directly and indirectly connected to all the hokage and other strong people further reinforces her credibility.

Shikamaru is just really smart, he should be like a master general. Sasuke is too busy being the man behind the curtain.


She does yes.

^These 2 said it well.

And to all those who say she would betray her village for Sasuke, that's ridiculous, that was 12 year old Sakura that thought about it, and she had no major duty.

Nobody can make her turn, and as Hokage, Sasuke would not turn on her, but protect her and the village. He would be the shadow to her light. And they would use her office to revive the Uchiha clan.

i also agree with those 2 as well as endless waltz here
