How good can the rookies get?

In terms of fighting ability, considering all the techniques they could learn, all the improvements they could realistically go through (intelligence and otherwise), all the abilities they are bound to have access too, all the teachers they are likely to have, and all the peers that would help them develop...

...how do you see the original rookies in a fight beyond chapter 700?

Here are some examples, and what I thought of:

Sakura
Teacher: Yamato

Peers: Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Ino, Sai

Techniques: Water and Earth Release tech

Weapon: Chakra Spear (or Metal Bar)

Fight Style:
Sakura would utilize her spear/bar to more effectively focus her attacks, while also improving her range by a meter or two. The focused tip of the weapon would allow her to focus her attacks on a much smaller surface, and reach protected targets past obstacles, making her much more deadly by default.

She would also utilize water and earth attacks, and would use these attacks, often as a build up to alter the battlefield in her favor - slowing down enemies, and stunts like pushing them up or towards her with earth release so that she'll have an easier time landing hits.

Sakura has the intelligence to utilize her 3 abilities in sequence for deadly attacks, so I see these to be a possibility.

Hinata
Teacher: Hiashi, Naruto

Peers: Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke

Improvements: Byakugan skill

Weapon: Bow (w/ Chakra Arrows)

Tech: Lightning Release Tech, Shadow Clones

Fight Style:
Hinata would use her bow with her byakugan to strike opponents at their weakest spots from a distance. In mid-range, she'd put away her bow, and resort to Air Palms with up to 3 Shadow Clones for powerful Air Wall Palms.

In close quarters, she'd always have at least 1 shadow clone to back her up. In addition to covering her blind spot, the clone would team up with her in attacks, meaning that she can initiate killer moves like 64 palms much more often, even against stronger foes.

Hinata would also incorporate Raiton into her Gentle Fist, give her crowd-control abilities like staggering, stunning and paralyzing opponents with her strikes. She would also use this ability with her bow for Raiton arrows.

Tenten:
Teacher: Shikamaru, Temari

Peers: Lee

Improvements: Movements

Fight Style:
Tenten would utilize a more interesting variety of ninja tools, particularly those with special effects like poison, smoke bombs, and incendiary effects. Training from Temari and Shikamaru allowed her to alter her battle movements, and lets her counter opponents from much closer ranges.

She would also use fewer items at a time, but much more efficiently, and with trick items incorporated to catch almost any opponent off guard. She was already in line to be a very interesting ninja, and a couple simple realistic developments would have made her awesome.

That was just three of the female ninjas I though would have developed well past the epilogue.

How do you think the rookies would have developed as they all became Jounins and beyond?

I actually think that Sakura controlling Chakra and manipulating it turning it into blast barriers platforms would be pretty impressive and a few Genjutsu techniques revolving around flora.

I don't want to imagine how strong a mastered rinnegan sasuke is, if it's true rinnegan can learn any ninjutsu tech, as hype would have it, then...a sasuke with all six paths, mastery over all chakra natures including swift style and dark style, basically just rinnegan mastery would put sasuke as god level not to mention other enhancements like ameterasu and susano increased mastery. It'd be pretty insane if sasuke could learn other MS techs and other rinnegan techs....but I'm sure not even kishi is that drunk.

Same goes for Naruto, just imagine his improved mastery over taijutsu, sage mode, BM all the bijuu at his disposal, it's insane.

But besides godsuke and deitaruto

It'd be cool to see choji incorporate some more chakra natures to his human boulder like, flsming human boulder or something and a more versatile butterfly bomb.

Shakamaru finding technicalities in shadow and realizing the inside of the human body is a shadow itself allowing him to manipulate your body without a shadow touching you.

Gaara...sand god nuff said

Kankuro I suppose some new puppets on prime or above prime sasori level

Lee would be a bit weaker than gai but by a bit, noone works harder than gai...noone

Neji, oh wait

I agree with them kunochi

Temari should add another element to her wind style or at least instead of tornadoes she could make hurricane and change the windy weather.

Shino should discover a new insect and try some new absurd insect jutsu

Lol kibbles I mean kiba, eh he should be good, not sure what other man beast combo he could possibly do unless he wants to have chains.

I always thought Shino would get a sick Gamabunta-sized Beetle summon Lol

Maybe Tenten would master the Elemental Fan, and Lee would use more powerful versions of the Lotus.

On a side note, I always thought it would have been REALLY cool if Neji had incorporated Lighting or Wind into his Gentle Fist. If he could have incorporated Wind he could have done permanent chakra damage similar to what Naruto's Rasenshuuriken does.

I don't see why they couldn't make Kiba and Shino learn Dog/Wolf and Bug sage techniques

How do you even know there is a Dog or Bug Sage ������

I don't. I was saying that it's not hard to give them animal sage techniques similar to their traits.

They could've developed/created those techniques during the timeskip. I dunno, It's just suggestions

For the 'Sand God' Gaara, I had something special in mind. He has been shown to be able to control specific sands at will. This ability can be expanded such that he is able to alter the structure of sand similar to Soil liquefaction. He can theoretically summon quicksand at will. He could then continuously change the density to keep enemies from floating via chakra (the walk on water technique).

Also for Sakura, she was shown with an Axe a color-page teaser on one chapter (chapter 670-something, iirc). What do you guys think the implications of her wielding an Axe would be?
