These three would have been very good additions if any were given to her i thought sakura having sage mode would have been more likely then not but she like most of the females and the rest were thrown to the back burner though she did get slightly more attention just to keep her in the lime light

Slug Sage mode not being a thing actually makes little to no sense.

Sakura needs to give up mayhem fighting in favor of polish taijutsu with cool thinking,otherwise She is a poor imitation of the Hulk.

Sakura was only able to avoid certain death 13 times due to chiyo saving her ass with her puppetry skills from sasori’s attacks and her having prep time to make 3 antidotes, of which 2 were used on her.

3 times in 265
4 times in 267
1 time in 268
2 times in 269
1 time in 270
1 time in 271
1 time in 273
2 times in 274

Thats a total of 15 fails of Sakura avoiding Sasori’s attacks, so I'm inclined to disagree with that statement.

I was only using the parts where chyio said she didnt need to help her anymore

Ok Im contribute a little

What she need if she dont want to focus on Ninjutsu is good martial art practice from expert like Guy for example.

She need to improve on her combat skill to benefit from her prowess in chakra enhanced attacks. Also her medical taijutsu also is another thing that can complement her Taijutsu expertise if she ever learn. Plus what Amy Rose said about Gates.

Sometime a person dont need flashy ninjutsu to be useful but effectiveness in using the given/train potentials/abilities.

Long range abilities of some sort. Genjutsu, Ninjutsu etc. OR very very high speeds.

I thought she will get slug sage mode after naruto and sasuke got their rikudou powerups so she becomes a lil bit more useful, for example she trained in shikkotsu forest with katsuyu secretely or something along the line, which would enhance her reaction time, grant her sensing, enhanced speed, and be a op monster

Sakura has one of the brightest minds in manga and uber refined chakra control so her potential to learn different types of ninjutsu was there, that Kishi.

OT: I'd say she should've been given finjutsu, Elemental Ninjutsu (water) and a Rikudou Enhancement.

If her chakra control is uber then the Hyuga clan chakra control is god like

Her learning the Gates through and using her seal to survive it, thus putting her on par with Naruto and Sasuke.

I remember Jean Grey/Ira saying that was BS for Sakura to learn that during the time skip. But then The Last was released showing nameless fodders using the gates like the very next day. Hilarious.

Sakura ended off the manga in pretty good standing and a top ninja. She doesn't lack much except range ninjutsu imo. Genjutsu casting would have been nice. Slug sage mode would be the best addition.

Also saying her taijutsu isn't very effective, it has been through her fights and not to mention she showed some good taijutsu against sasori which is her only good fight .
