Is Sakura capable of defeating SOMEONE in Akatsuki?

[SuperChief]

I find it hilarious that this base hates Sakura so much that they can somehow fathom she will somehow be the only Team 7 member that won't surpass the majority of Akatsuki.

You mean the same data book that said Amaterasu was instant and the only way to achieve Susanoo is Tsukuyomi + Amaterasu? Please. Kisame isn't tanking shit. Hirudora paralysed him. One serious, solid hit from Sakura cripples him, and the ones following that paralyse him.



Doesn't really matter where you got it from. Hyperbole statements like that never come true. And you are creating a scenario in which Sakura is severely disadvantaged by assuming she'll caught in the dome. Sakura could avoid it, she could get out of dodge and summon Katsuyu, or she could stick to Kisame like glue and not give him the opportunity.

The point is, we can come up with a thousand scenarios that are written by our bias. To objectively analyse these two fighters, we have to analyse their abilities in a neutral environment.

Dude,Kakuzu with Earth Spear dominated against a Giant Choji and Kakashi who had to use Raikiri to get rid of it,why are you arguing against manga facts?Read the chapter again since you think it's hyperbole.

Neither Chōji no Kakashi of that arc have shit on current Sakura, and they would both beat Kakuzu easily now, and so would Sakura.

Well i doubt there will be any good counters against Sakura :l, just people repeating the samethings over and over.

That's what bias does.

It's not hate since Sakura doesn't have any counters for most of the Akatsuki members such as Pain,Deidara or Kakuzu,she just barely surpassed Tsunade.

So you think Sakura can pierce diamond hard skin against someone who has better taijutsu and devastating long range techs to use against her?

I dispute the fact Kakuzu actually has "diamond hard" skin. Also, what makes Kakuzu supposedly better than Sakura? He doesn't begin to compare in strength, and as for technique, Sakura doesn't have fancy names for her style but it is effective as it is simple. You literally have no basis for asserting Kakuzu has superior taijutsu or speed, and the same goes for Kisame.

Sakura tanks Kakuzu's jutsu no problem by the way. Byakugō and all that.

That works both ways you know,I like Sakura but holy shit do some people overrate the hell out of her by giving Sakura feats she doesn't have.

Long range and air born fighters are her crippling weakness,Akatsuki has both.

I like Sakura as well, but I am perfectly capable of remaining objective.

Close range fighters are weak only to long range/airborne fighters when they have range, who are weak to close ranger fighters when they don't.

Don't use assumptions and fanfictions , data book doesn't say that, there is NOTHING that sakura can do to kill neither kakazu or kisame , she doesn't even use a weapon in her fights, and of course sakura won't be compared to naruto and sasuke they're indra and ashura for god sake , how the **** are you expecting her to surpass the akatsuki .

1. The same data book that has been contradicted many times since they were written. I appreciate the transparency of your cowardice.
2. Sakura is "terrible" at taijutsu and yet can one-shot the vast majority of characters in the Narutoverse. Interesting logic you have there.
3. The odds are overwhelmingly in Sakura's favour. Kisame can only heal his injuries if Samehade has chakra. He's not hitting Sakura long enough to absorb chakra if Sasori couldn't. You're not getting the point. The slugs can be devoured so long as they force Kisame to look for Sakura, who will the opportunity to escape.

But like I said to eagle, your bias is writing scenarios that doesn't allow Sakura to fight unrestricted. We can both play this game, but it won't lead anywhere.

Does it matter? Unless you can prove that Sakura can break a diamond, your argument is flawed.

2. A chidori from Chuunin Exams Sasuke could one shot most people in the NV. Is he above Kisame and Kakuzu now?

3. Do you realize how much chakra Samehada can take just by touching you? It was able to absorb over 5 tails worth of chakra from Bee in mere seconds. That alone could drain Sakura dry. And inb4 you say Yin seal, she doesn't activate it at the start of a fight. And then again, you say that Sakura can escape the water dome by hiding inside Katsuuyu. You understand that Kisame could easily devour 200+ Mini Katsuuyu's before she manages to escape. Plus, while Samehada is fused inside of him, Kisame is a sensor. He could tell the difference between Katsuuyu and Sakura.

its funny how you were the one giving her a fighting style, despite her not even showing a fighting style. ;x

 

[Demonic.]

She can best Hidan, but Kakuzu? Can someone tell me how Sakura counters Fire Release: Searing Migraine combined with Wind Release: Pressure damage? I'm inclined to change my mind with a valid counter.

Close range fighters are weak only to long range/airborne fighters when they have range, who are weak to close ranger fighters when they don't.

How about the fact Kakuzu has a century worth of combat experience and fought Hashirama and lived.How about the fact Sakura's fighting style consists of:keep swinging until you hit something.The girl has no technique and a taijutsu master can run circles around her.

And like I said before:long range and air born enemies are Sakura's bane of existence,she has no techniques that can reach flying opponents and powerful long range fighters would wisely keep her away.

Deidara for example could use those nano bombs and there is nothing Sakura can do to stop him.

1. It matters because it's outdated information that clearly no longer holds true.

2. That's an excellent strawman.

3. Sakura has greater evasive feats than Kisame has striking feats, and seeing as she has a massive amount of chakra, she could stand to survive. What's more, if Kisame is close enough to absorb her chakra, Sakura is close enough to make him pay for it.

You have nothing but conjecture on how fast Kisame could detect the real one. Also, maybe Sakura decides she doesn't try to escape and uses misdirection to draw him in? She only needs to hit him once at full power to kill him. I'd like her odds.

Even in the worst possible scenario I've allowed you to conjure up even though it could go very differently Sakura could still retaliate and even win. Now, if Sakura wasn't in the dome and Kisame didn't have the chance or the inclination to use it, which would be more likely given the fact Sakura is more like Gai than she like B, Kisame would be going after a fast, nimble fighter that packs a greater punch than he can take. I'm not at all saying victory would come easy to Sakura, but I am saying she'd win more times than she loses, and I believe I've adequately framed my arguments to support that. If you can't agree with me, that's fine by me.

 

[Ansatsuken]

How much sakura has involving in serious fight in part 2 of naruto to judge her proficiency in fighting situation

I mean her fight between anyone that in high level where she is battleling from start to the end

Not about some show off moment like punching Juubi clone and then need to be save

Or when she charge blindly without thinking at Madara and then getting save again.

That situation can't be medium of judgement for Sakura battle awareness/potential.

Please some one give a scan

for me to judge all fanfic that occur here in this thread

She can't beat anyone in the Akatsuki but the weak Zetsu and

Sakura's a brawler,her main method of fighting is to keep swinging until her fist connects with something.That's a fighting style.

But thats not her style as shown in the sasori fight =D.

To start, "combat experience" is a worthless platitude when it comes to shōnen battle manga. e.g. Naruto barely fought at all and he managed to beat Kakuzu.

Sakura's fighting style consists out of evasive manoeuvring and quick and brutal punches. She doesn't swing aimlessly like an amateur. Sakura was taught by Tsunade, who is undoubtedly a taijutsu master herself. Your mistake is equating elegance with skill. As someone who used to practice MMA, I can tell you this with confidence, it doesn't matter how pretty your dress it up, a punch is a punch and all that matters is making sure you hit.

I'm not touching Deidara because I don't see Sakura beating him unless she can get close before he can take off. I'm talking about Kakuzu and Kisame, two fighters who also fight at close range, but okay, since you're not getting the point - what if Sakura somehow managed to prevent Deidara from putting distance between them? What if Deidara can't go airborne and thus can't use his more powerful jutsu? Do you see where I'm going with this?

If a close range fighter is weak against a long range fighter that's because they're not close enough. Flip that coin and you have a long range fighter who is weak against a close range fighter because they're not far away enough.

That is of course beside the point.

Sakura could punch the lights out of anyone in Akatsuki. If you don't believe me than look at a ninja like Naruto who gets punched by Sakura all the time. Her punches are so quick that he can't even sense it.

 

[Ageha Jaeger]

She can kill:

1.) Itachi
2.) Pein
3.) Sasori
4.) Kakuza
5.) Deidara
6.) Kasuma

1. She has no way of dealing with Susano'o, nor is she fast enough to dodge Amaterasu.
2. Chibaku Tensei GG. That's all he would have to do.
3. Not unless she already has an antidote prepared.
4. Kakuzu's diamond skin and hearts overwhelm her.
5. Deidara takes flight and nukes her. Bad match up.

Kind of surprised to see a post like this from you man.
