What is up with the slew of VS threads lately? The common factor is the OP’s aren’t interested in intelligent debate surrounding their characters battling others. It’s a wank fest where the OP tells everyone to piss off because their character is the best and magically counters every single check the community can come up with.
I still think Sakura pulls off the win in this one given what we know about her. Claiming she lacks the Jutsu to fight Kurotsuchi is ignorant when we consider it took 700 chapters for Naruto to use a basic Earth Style Technique. Just because they aren’t part of her fighting style doesn’t mean she couldn’t make use of other techniques. Never thought I’d see the day I defended Sakura, but come on.
Prior to earth style, Naruto had massive chakra reserves, a forbidden jutsu, Kurama chakra boosting his physcial capabilities, summons, and a jutsu created by his father. That was only in part 1.
He went on to add Wind elements to his rasengan.
Gain a higher form via Sage mode allowing him to sense
Gained control of Kurama allowing even more power and happened to be a reincarnation of a powerful being.
You're the one being ignorant with what your saying @bold. With all Naruto had going for him, he didn't need earth style as much as Sakura needs jutsu to combat Kurotsuchi. It's not even a stomp. But the favor is within Kurotsuchi's odds given her moveset and attack goals.
Sakura is 9/10 looking to break your bones or poison you. Both of which are going to require CQC. If all else fails she can rely on her outlasting her opponent via healing.
That's Sakura's attack goals:
-Poison you (have to be within range)
-Break you (CQC)
-Outlast you
Kurotsuchi isn't a slouch in CQC and has more and enough means to restrict her movements if not, outright stop her.
Kurotsuchi attack goals are more than that of Sakura.
-Seal you
-Break you (CQC)
-Assassinate you (Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu)
-Kill you (Lava release/Water Release)
And she has more than enough means to do all of the above.
