Neji Vs Sakura: Taijutsu Warfare

Disclaimer:This thread is not to prove a point, but it will display my views and opinion. This thread is not me saying this is a fact, just how I view and perceive the naruto world.

I chose these two because they are nearly equal as far as the data book is concerned. Though the data book is not a good reference to judge fighters as they often change due to the progression of the manga. but I do think its a nice reference point to get an idea of skill level.

Apon first glance I gave this fight to neji due to the fact this would be a taijutsu war and his taijutsu far outclasses sakura as far as technique is concerned. In terms of speed and finesse, No one can match the Gentle Fist style.
He is good at avoiding punches, which is bad for sakura because her taijutsu is lacking in terms of technique. Neji can effortlessly counter her with blocks and Rotation. Not to mention Byukugan. He will be able to see most attacks before they land and counter. Hiding for sakura is not an option and sneak attacks would be nearly impossible.

Not only that but the 64 palm technique renders chakra points useless, leaving sakura unable to use he chakra enhanced strength. And to make matters worse, neji could also attack sakura from mid range, her worst nightmare in my opinion, with vacuum palm. With that said things were looking pretty grim for sakura up until you take into account two things

1. The Yin seal, Which allows her to self heal and use the chakra stored in the seal, not the chakra neji could have possibly blocked.

2. Katsuya which can heal,deal long range damage, and provide excellent defense.

Conclusion

Neji and sakura both beat the living pulp out of eachother. neji landing a large amount of strikes while sakura lands less but deals more damage. eventually sakura's damage will decrease due to blocked chakra passages. but her chakra along with her health but will be replenished by the yin seal. by that time though neji had been winning the fight he would have taken massive damage. He would be weakened and would have to fight a fresh sakura.. and if he somehow manages to deplete her health again katsuya will step in and finish neji off for good.

Neji wins 4/10
Sakura wins 6/10

making sakura the victor

Just my opinion...how do you see this fight going???

Thanks for reading

Katsuyu and yin seal are not part of taijutsu field.

In pure taijutsu (if that's what we speak of) Neji steamrolls.

I stated that above, also i never put restrictions.. the thread is called taijutsu warfare because both ninja primarily use taijutsu, not that it was a taijutsu only fight i should have been more clear. but thanks for your input

The Yin Seal can't be activated if she has no chakra. Same with summoning Katsuyu. She goes in for CQC, by which point it's all over.

Fanfiction.

OT: Neji's taijutsu is better, but Sakura beats him in combat.

What proof is there that the seal, an advanced form of Fuinjutsu, doesn't require chakra to activate or at least mantain like literally every other seal in the Manga?
