Now another fallacy, used constantly, "Sakura is Slow"

Now let me start by saying Sakura is by no means on anyone above Kakashi's speed, but she isn't slow. Sakura is plagued by the rumor that she couldn't hit anybody. I feel like part of this is based on the thought process to associate strength with size and sluggishness. Now take time to comprehend that Sakura has NO REAL MUSCLE!!! She uses impeccable chakra control to create an epic release of force upon a target. That's not to say that she's weak without CES because she punches like an average ninja, but nothing slows her down when it comes to access to her strength.

Sakura is not slow. If she raced Usain Bolt, she would win.
She's a ninja and she is considered one of the new sannin which I'm pretty sure translates to legendary ninja.
No one from K11 other than team 7 and just maybe Neji or Lee is beating her. Sadly for her, Kishi always places her next to Nardo and Sauce who obviously are about 3 tiers above her. Sakura actually has decent speed feats and impressive evasion feats (especially if you include her small one on one with Menma. Now I would say that if you take away Deva, current Sakura can defeat the Peins, (Cerebrus restricted).

Now can we have better Vs threads with this realization? She isn't slow she has high chunin speed feats and when you think about what she is (a chunin) she's a darn good one.

Sakura can defeat pain...
Human path : soul absorption
asura path : nuke her
preta path : absorbs chakra concentrated on her fist
animal path : cerebrus finishes her
naraka path : sakura takes this
deva path : negdiff, roflstomp. Curbsstomps , (prefix)stomp

You called Sakura a "darn good" chunin. Ebisu is a jonin. Your thread has backfired.

Also, are you trying to say that any jonin could beat Pain sans Deva? Because a good chunin is at best ≤ the worst jonin.

And Naruto is a genin. Please productively post in my threads.

I said sans Deva and this isn't a VS thread.

how does this thread proves she's not slow? She, at her best, can't beat anyone faster that Hidan

I don't think people call Sakura slow. They just don't call her fast.

Yeah but you were rating Sakura on chunin standards ("high chunin speed feats"). That's a completely different thing than saying: "As a chunin, Sakura is faster/stronger than x amount of higher-level ninja." By calling her speed feats "high chunin," you place her below anyone above that level by default.

Anyone who gets kick blitzed by Omoi is not that fast.

she's not op fast or fodder slow.
she has decent speed.

people just like to say that she's slow because they want to undermine her anyway they can.
she's a very strong kunoichi.

sadly.. i can name a few users on here that would probably commit suicide before admitting that. Lol

Naruto's female characters are really compared to Bleach female characters...Tier Harribel comfortably solos whole Naruto female cast (except Kaguya)
Yeah Harribel is badass and would fodderize all Naruto females bar Kaguya

Soi Fon beats Sakura and Tsunade neg diff
