Now when people compared team 7 by power, they only look at "fighting power", not power overall. I have always found this interesting. (And no one mentions specifically if they are talking about fighting power alone.)

Analysis:

You have 2 members who are fighters on the front line. The powers they possess are that of a fighters. However, seeing as how Kishimoto has based team 7 seems to be the way of a normal 3 man team : " Tank (Sasuke), Damage ( Naruto), Healer (Sakura)".

Now you can't judge someones power based on someone else's power, when they are in 2 different categories. For example, taking out poison with chakra is her ability aka her power. Can the other 2 do that? sadly no. She can create poisons, also her power. Can the other 2 create poisons? no. Yet for some reason we have this mentality that we need to base Sakura's powers off of a 1 vs 1 scenario..


Hell lets no forget healing. No Naruto does not have healing even close to Sakura's healing (healing others, not self-healing). Hell can Sasuke heal a whole alliance? no.

On top of that, haters/people who are offended or feel threatened about her getting stronger, constantly underrate her physical power. Apparently all she can do is "punch".. wow. But is she on Naruto and Sasuke's level in terms of fighting power? no shes not, she has less fighting abilities. But yes she is physically stronger than the other 2.


Conclusion:


Knowledge : Sakura > Naruto and Sasuke

Fighting power : Naruto and Sasuke > Sakura

Intellect : All are equal to a extent (though Sakura is portrayed Smarter).

Support power:
Sakura > Naruto and Sasuke

Power: Equals.

Another example is : Team Taka.. Karin has equal power to that of Juugo and Suigetsu.. but she simply has it in a different category


Let the flaming began.

PS: Not mad or anything, simply wanted to put this, because I found the flaw in comparisons quite annoying.

Chunin exams part 1, only person not to cheat on a exam that required mental power and logic.

(Just in case you bring up Sasuke having top scores in the class, just know that the academy is based on all ninja aspects not just intellect).

I agree with the point of yours, yes Sakura isn't fighting type so it isn't right actually to compare her with other two directly..:yeah:

Studied under a Hokage, medical ninjutsu knowledge, plenty of scrolls. So she kind of has the advantage vs the 2 who simply got their knowledge from other people directly.

They all studied the same things lol... on top of that the questions required book smarts and experience.

Smart: : very good at learning or thinking about things

The point here is you can't compare Sakura directly with other two because she ain't fighting type.:p

Yeah but it won't save you in the battlefield, i'm saying she's pretty smart when it comes to books and stuff like that but when it's on the battlefield, no just no c.c Sasuke and naruto are pretty smart in that category. Also naruto is getting a lot of experience in this war arc because of all his kage bushin. Let alone sasuke.

how this give sakura better knowledge than other two?

Well a little bit .

There is no such thing as "better knowledge" there is simply more or less. Which is she already had more of in part 1.

What you are talking about is being "keen". Naruto about be getting alot of experience good for him.. but there really wasn't any knowledge that normal ninjas didn't know about to be gained.. As for Sasuke... uhh what is the showcasing of his knowledge?

You are mixing up "keen" and ability to pick up things in actions , with being smart. Smart refers to knowledge. Hell Part 1 Sakura had been the knowledge center for team 7 (out of the 3).

On top of that why can't she use her knowledge in battle? How can knowing about battle not save you in battle?

Knowledge : Sakura > Naruto and Sasuke
Sakura has barely displayed any knowledge that proved usefull in part 2.

Fighting power : Naruto and Sasuke > Sakura
Mhm.

Intellect : All are equal to a extent (though Sakura is portrayed Smarter).
Sasuke > Sakura and Naruto

Support power: Sakura > Naruto and Sasuke
Naruto = Sakura > Sasuke

Power: Equals.
She has barely been able to be even usefull.......... only thing she did was heal a bunch of people who were all fodders, and they could've gone to someone else and receive the same treatment.
Poison will do damage to most. Only usefull thing she did in the latest chapters is summon Katsuyu with the help of Tsunade.
Sasuke and Naruto>Sakura.

I agree to an extent she was more smarter in PART 1, part 2, not so much. She did a lot of noob moves.
