She was able to punch through multiple floors in a single strike and jump. She has natural strength
She was able to hold and overpower a super giant bear trap like Jutsu, with her bare hands. Not to mention the Jutsu was raiton, which is a heavy and dense chakra. She was too brute for Kido, so he had to result in using a Tail beast drug.
Also, Sakura eye reflexes are pretty fast by catching this trap because she was attacked by a lightning clone seconds before.
Kido's transformations explained. He looked like more of a monster version of his self besides the fox, but the power was all the same.
This time Sakura can dodge the bear trap attack, that was much more powerful and faster than before, which she claimed to be unable to dodge, which proves her speed was increased
This is why Sakura is deadly in H2H combat, she has 11 super fast limb heading her way and she manages to dodge them all. And a little durability feat too once he hit her.
Sakura doens't even notice an attack on his a base and releases her seal instantly while in battle.
Sakura tanks the TBB
Sakura must've been out of byakugou mode as Kido noted her condition, while he is completely uninjured, and it suggest that she is running low on chakra, which is nearly impossible given her byakugou, oh and Sakura has healing punches a new chakra control feat, she can release her medical ninjutsu in a punch.
She explains her healing punch, which was pretty instant, I think this is closure on how Tsunade was going to kill Orochimaru too...
so this was the only mention of her actually using a chakra enhance punch, other than in the begining, which seem to have a power powerful effect, actually moving Kido, the rest just where normal punches.

Something for the haters“Take this!!” Raiton! Lighting trap!
A trap akin to the kind used in the deep mountains to capture beasts – except a giant version of that and brimming with the lightning – materialized and flew at Sakura in an attempt to lock her down.
Sakura couldn’t dodge it in time.
Gathering a dense amount of chakra into her fists, Sakura clenched her teeth and met the clamping blades of lightning with her hands. She had momentarily stopped the oppressive force of the blades, but the trap still unyieldingly tried to close down on her.
“Haaaaaaah!”
It seemed however, that Sakura was the stronger of the two and emerged victorious. With a yell and a huge surge of energy, Sakura split open the trap and it dispersed in a puff of smoke.
“Oh…?” Kido smiled. “So you can just blow off my trap like that… well then.”
Kido pulled out a purple capsule from his pocket – the tailed-beast drug.
“….!”
Sakura held her breath again.Sakura held her breath.
Kido did not break eye contact with Sakura, as he threw the capsule into his mouth.
Kido's transformations explained. He looked like more of a monster version of his self besides the fox, but the power was all the same.
The number of tails Kido sported was… nine in total. However, this time it wasn’t simply derived from that chakra cloak.
Could this possibly be… an actual tailed-beast transformation?
Sakura furrowed her brows.
Upon consuming the tailed-beast drug, the transformations Kido underwent were largely different to those of this underlings.
The fact that their chakra volume would explosively multiply in a veil of faint purple remained the same, but for Kido, that cloak seemed like a hard sort of skin that covered his entire body. This was obviously very different to the translucent membrane-like appearance of his underlings.
In the scene it explains how Kido was so fast, about KCM speed probably, as they have the same power, Now Sakura reflexes are able to react to it, but not quite her footspeeed as he can use his chakra as a weapon. However the speed of her chakra control seems to be linked to her reflexes as she is able to used her chakra to sheild herself from the blow.Even though Kido sported nine tails, he did not resemble a demon fox. Rather than a tailed beast, it seemed more apt to describe his likeness to that of a purple monster.
“I know this isn’t exactly the most elegant form out there, but I hope you can tell by a glance that my power is way out of your league now?” said Kido. To be fair, Kido’s outwards appearance wasn’t that scary. However, the amount of chakra he was now emanating was just downright oppressive.
But she did adjust to the speed, seconds later, probably increasing her speed as she did earilier in the chase scene“I guess so”, replied Sakura. “I’m slightly regretting making this fight a one-on-one.”
“Worry not. I’m going to do my best to not kill you. Not right here, anyway. However-” Kido vanished and reappeared “- real sorry if you do end up dying” – Sakura heard him murmur into her ear.
“!!” Sakura had no time to even turn around. She leapt forwards, and immediately after she felt a huge rush of wind upon her back. She realised Kido had been whipping his chakra tail.
Sakura heard the tree that the tail ended up knocking in to crackle and crunch as it fell. Sakura landed on a thick branch, and steadied herself – or tried to, anyway. The branch under her feet was destroyed by Kido’s tail.
Sakura was thrown into the empty air. However, instead of landing back onto the ground, a tail lashed at her horizontally and landed a direct hit on her.
Branches snapped soundly left and right as Sakura was thrown into the further depths of the forest. Had she not used her own chakra as a shield around her body to soften the blow, surely she would be down and out of this battle by now.
Sakura let herself slide down the incline of the trunk, but immediately switched her stance for the counterattack..
I think Sakura uses her natural strength as opposed to Cherry blossom impact, becuase as seen earlier the chakra around her hand is the only thing that connects with the target as this time she just punches him,Kido rapidly jabbed his tails. Sakura ducked out of the way of the purple spears attacking her, dodging them by a hair’s breadth and finally weaved her way to be directly in front of Kido’s solar plexus….
And punched him, hard.
Sakura's deduction on the armor, mind you this isn't her strongest form, she isn't in byakugou modeThe outer skin was rock solid. Sakura felt as if the recoil of the attack itself was about to break her own body to bits. However, Sakura could also feel it in her fist that she had landed a solid hit herself.
As a proof of that, large cracks had formed at the point of impact upon Kido’s chest. Small fragments began to break off and fall.
“What terrifying power you have, to be able to even damage me after I consumed the tailed beast drug. However-,” Kido smirked disconcertingly “I can just restore it back to how it was.” The cracks rapidly mended themselves right before Sakura’s eyes, and looked just as it did before.
Sakura gulped.
A type of armour that was abnormally hard, coupled with regenerative abilities. On top of that, the nine tails that jabbed unpredictably… wow isn’t this is just the best… Sakura thought.
Maybe I was too reckless, didn’t think this through enough…
This time Sakura can dodge the bear trap attack, that was much more powerful and faster than before, which she claimed to be unable to dodge, which proves her speed was increased
“You have unthinkable amounts of strength, but at this point you’re just unthinking…” Kido formed a seal with this hands. It was a seal Sakura had seen before.
Raiton! Lightning Trap!
A jagged ring of thunder shot out and made to clamp over Sakura.
I can’t fight this, Sakura concluded in a split second. Augmented by the tailed-beast drug, and in comparison to the last time Sakura witnessed this jutsu, it was faster, also more destructive by many times over.
However, Sakura didn’t make to retreat, but instead leapt forwards and dived to dodge the oncoming attack. Behind her, she heard the trap clamp shut with a loud SNAP!

Kido did not think that Sakura would close in on him, and once again found himself on the receiving end of her fists.
This time, however, no cracks appeared.
“What’s up, you tired out already?”
“Not even close!” Sakura yelled back, and continued pummelling away. Her punches would land a clean hit, but no cracks would appear. She wound her fist back to launch another attack, but then Kido spoke.
“I’m not just going to let you punch me to your heart’s content, you know?” and shot his tails out at her.
Sakura dodges.
More tails lash out towards her.
Sakura dodges again.
However, the next wave of attacks find their mark.
Sakura was sent flying, and her back smashed against a gigantic tree. The air was knocked from her lungs, and her consciousness faded for a moment. She fell to the ground, but made to stand up straight away.
Kido also hopped down onto the ground.

Kido also hopped down onto the ground.
Sakura hardened her fists and dashed out.
Punch Kido’s chest, Punch Kido’s chest, was the only thought going through her head.
“Fighting with reckless abandon like that will only lead you to an early death!” taunted Kido, as he attacked with a barrage of tails. Sakura dodged and dodged, but just dodging can’t get her any closer in to Kido.
Kido’s sharp tails flew straight at Sakura. However, Sakura didn’t dodge them. A thick tail pierced through Sakura’s abdomen with a loud swoosh, but Sakura took no notice and kept on running ahead.
“I’m not going to die!”
Ninja art! Creation rebirth!
A rich, powerful chakra filled through Sakura’s body, and the patterns appeared on her face. The cells at the point where the tail tore through her divided, and her injury began to heal. However, because the tail was still stabbed through her, the wound didn’t seal up completely.
“You *****…!”Kido gaped at her manically.
It was only for the shortest of moments, but Kido felt fear towards the kunoichi who was charging at him whilst being impaled by one of his tails.
Sakura closed the gap between her and Kido, and repeatedly threw punches. There wasn’t a chance to press in like this up till now, so Sakura wanted to land as many hits as possible, every hit counts.
Sakura was relentless. However, not a single crack appeared on Kido’s thick shell.
“Arrrrgh, Mooooooooooooove!” Kido roared, and flayed his tail that was stabbed into Sakura.
Sakura slid off the tail and her wound was quickly resealed by Chakra.
Punch Kido’s chest, Punch Kido’s chest, was the only thought going through her head.

Sakura tanks the TBB
Yes! Sakura internally screamed victoriously.
Kido suddenly opened his mouth wide, and Sakura sensed danger. She realised what Kido appeared to be doing was charge a concentrated chakra beam in his mouth.
This is bad… !
Sakura jumped backwards diagonally, and raised both arms in a cross before her face.
Is this a tailed beast bomb?
Immediately after, Kido fired the concentrated chakra ball.
It seemed as if the ball had been compressed whilst charging up within Kido’s mouth, for the moment it was fired, the diameter of the ball expanded to around one metre across, and blasted towards Sakura.
Sakura managed to dodge the direct hit, but it still managed to make contact with half her body. Sakura was blasted back through the forest.
Sakura broke through the thick branches of the forest and finally stopped flying when she hit a massive boulder.
She crumpled down on to the floor, and couldn’t stand up immediately. It hurt to breathe.
After ensuring that all of her limbs still worked properly, Sakura stood up.

Kido cocked his head to the side. “What do you mean, almost there? What are you playing at? You’re having trouble even standing, whereas I’m completely unscathed. You should be in despair right now, yet you’re spouting this nonsense?”
“Unscathed? Where?” Sakura asked, a small smile forming on her lips.
Kido made a shocked face and turned his gaze towards his chest. Then he saw it.
A large crack running across his chest that hadn’t healed back up for some reason, with certain parts at the center of the crack already breaking off.
“Oi! What the hell is this!” Kido panicked. “Why isn’t it healing?”
“That’s because the cells in that particular area have already died.”
“Died…?” As Kido uttered those words, more parts of the hardy armor on his chest began to peel off.
“My punches, were working. I just made it look like they were pretty much useless.”
“…?” Kido narrowed his eyes.
“Unscathed? Where?” Sakura asked, a small smile forming on her lips.
Kido made a shocked face and turned his gaze towards his chest. Then he saw it.

“My punches, were working. I just made it look like they were pretty much useless.”
“…?” Kido narrowed his eyes.
“While I was relentlessly punching away at you, I was also running my healing chakra through your body. The truth is, the moment a crack appeared, I’d it up straight way. That’s why on the outside, it looked as if you had taken no damage, and that my fists were no real threat at all.”
“You healed my wounds…? Why would you do that…?”
“Of course, that’s so your cells would die faster.” Sakura replied bluntly.
“To heal a wound is basically making the cells in that area divide and form new cells. That’s how you seal an open wound. However, the number of times a cell can divide is limited. Yes, Your armour is impenetrably hard. However, if you overexert and force your cells to incessantly divide, your cells there will die, and that part will become vulnerable. It’s one of the practical applications of the creation rebirth technique.”

so this was the only mention of her actually using a chakra enhance punch, other than in the begining, which seem to have a power powerful effect, actually moving Kido, the rest just where normal punches.
In her peripheral vision, she saw Kido open his mouth once again.
Round two of the tailed-beast bomb!
Sakura had predicted that.
“Haaaaaa!!!!”
At a distance of roughly ten meters from where Kido stood, Sakura lowered her body and slammed her fist into the ground.
The earth shook, and Kido violently lost balance. At that moment, Sakura jumped right in front of Kido’s face.
Today’s second special serving of …
“SHANNAAAROOO!!!”
Sakura used all of her remaining chakra into this one Oukashou punch, and aimed it directly at Kido’s chest.
Sakura could feel it in her fist that she had landed a perfect punch. As if to confirm Sakura’s thoughts, Kido’s body blasted ginormous trees and rocks to powder as he tore through them.
* Part five *
Kido’s body blasted through the forest as he had just been hit by a force like no other in his lifetime.
As he was sent flying, he coughed up some blood.
Blood.
At the sight of this blood, fragmented old memories surfaced from the back of his mind.
