One thing, I'm not writting off Sakura's inteligence. However Sakura doesn't have much to work with when it comes to using strategy. Her range of skills aren't wide enough for her to pull off strategies like Kakashi or Shikamaru (I know you're going to say that Shikamaru is limited in his jutsu abilities as well however his intelect far exceeds Sakura's). For that matter like I...may have said (I'm not sure) Sakura's intelect is more book then it is feild and stratigics. Both Hinata and Sakura rival each other in their chakra control. Both are like second nature (Sakura was just gifted with it and Hinata's is more genetic). Yes she has evasive skills, and Tsunade excersised the importance of her not getting injured due to her being a medical-nin. That increase her evasive abilities however that doesn't mean she can evade every attack. She was done in pretty badly by Sasori's puppet, granted that he was an S-class shinobi who took down his villages strongest Kazekage but the fact is even though evasive is stressed to medics, doesn't always mean extreamly capable. Now you're saying that Twin lion fist isn't a one hit kill I beg to differ. Remember what I said about the simple strike used by Hinata's father to take out a jounin level shinobi from Kumo in one hit. Hinata doesn't need to the twin lion fist to kill only to hit in the right spot. That is the same with Sakura. She needs to hit in the right spot. From your neck down through your torso to your stomac has sooo many vital points and organs that can be fatal if it (Lungs, kidneys, neck, heart, liver, etc) Sakura's attacks crushes from the outside and can break bones that can cause such organs to be punctured or to hit them directly with such force and impact that the shock kills. Hinata can send her chakra through the body (via the small bursts of chakra signiture in all the strikes of the gental fist) to do the same thing without using the same level of force. Both hits are definate kill, in certain areas of the body that fact is undeniable. Sakura is anylitical and the things is since both kunoichi know each other rather well, it is safe to say that it is well known of their abilities buy the other and that the only problem is coming up with a solution to beat her. Hinata's approch of beating Sakura is more simple (simple not easy), cut off her flow of chakra, therefore cutting off her ninjutsu and genjutsu abilities. In her case as well getting rid of her strength. Now without that Sakura's taijutsu is basically average. Every shinobi has the basic essencial tools of shuriken, kunai, and other weapons to set up traps but the fact is the Byakugan has too much range of vision to hide a trap. Sakura could get away from Sakura, but Hinata will find her, she will see what she is planning and she'll be on guard. The Byakugan provides a strong buffer that increases the awarness of a shinobi meaning Sakura will have to execute whatever her plan is quick enough where she can do unnoticed, which is nearly impossible with her limited ninjutsu abilities outside of her medical techniques and the fact that her speed is nothing special (less, or equal if that to Hinata's). Sakura may be anylitical, figure out a plan, but what use is it if Hinata can see through it, is aware of it and refuses to fall for it. Hinata's not stupid either, hot doesn't always mean stupid.
