Top 5 Kunoichi List (sakura #1)

[To Whatever]

Temari is a one trick pony because her arsenal is entirely wave the giant fan, and a summon who does the same thing as her fan
As opposed to Sakura, who has in her arsenal CES, Poison /Antidote Making, A summon whose only intersection of abilities with Sakura is remote healing (that is to say outside of healing Katsuyu has things that make her valuable as a summon because she can do things that Sakura just can't), and Medical Ninjutsu. As a Shinobi in a team Sakura has more to offer. Realistically, she may lose to Temari in a one v one but in a team fight Sakura's the better option to have at your side.

And let's not act like there is a wide variety of fuuton jutsus.
They all do one of two things, push or cut. The question is the scale, to which she's able to do them. She generally goes for most damage output. Because, that is generally most useful as her wind nature manipulation isn't as refined as Naruto's. And that's fine, but it has a very specific and limited purpose. It can be used to push things back, or to cut things apart, and that really is the extent of fuuton. Which is why only having one element is not particularly impressive whereas having several (like Mei) is. Because one element tends to do a particular niche very well and only performs well in that niche. Since she doesn't team up with Katon users she can't put her wind to that use. Thus her fighting style is generally push back or cut. Which is why I called her a one trick pony she doesn't have much else to offer.

I'd rather have a competent leader with wind affinities and a strong summon to back me up in a team fight. Kamatari's justus and summoning time are near instant and fast enough to end a team fight before it actually resorts to people requiring medical ninjustu.

Medical shinobi are heavily focused in a fight, Sakura may be able to tank most justus she comes up against but she's never shown great reaction time and speed, not to mention outside of med ninjustu she has no aptitude to lead a team in case of an unfortunate event. The slug's goals are limited, she's not much if she splits and her only way of attacking is acid.

Kamatari, like Temari can simultaneously defend, and attack. Just at a faster rate.

You're forgetting Temari's wind can negate, reroute, or turn the enemies justu's or ninja tools against them.

There are two times in which I could think of in which Temari was especially useful, namely when she saved Shikamaru against the sound genjutsu user, and when she saved the Samurai, with assistance from Kankuro. In situations like the current one, or like the fight with the edo kage, or any number of situations, a medics presence especially helpful.

Do you recall when Katsuyu enveloped thousands of people within Konoha to protect them from Chou Shinra Tensei? She did that while she was divided.
Since she can divide into so many pieces she can easily be with each member of the team to insert chakra into others in case of genjutsu
Via Remote Healing it also means Sakura shouldn't have to run around the battlefield healing multiple at once rather Katsuyu can absorb them in the same way she did the Gokage.
Further depending on how large the team is Katsuyu can easily remain large and break off a few minis. Have corner enemies who don't have a way to put her down.
Granted, Sakura's isn't always the brightest cookie on the battlefield, her abilities make her more usable than Temari's.
Yes, Medics are generally focused on healing during a battle, as Tsunade demonstrated in the beginning of the Gokage battle, but it also allows her to keep her teammates chakra up with chakra from her byakugou seal.

What is it exactly that Temari's summon does that a Fuuton can't do. Because it seems to be to cut and push.

Oh you mean like pushing then with a gale of wind which is what I've been saying the whole time. Push or Cut.

il admit healing is incredibly useful in a team and should not be discounted but it does not make her a better kunoichi than temari who can defend and be on the offensive simultaneously and also has very large area of effect techniques

Both sakura and temari are great in there own way as kunoichi however due to temari being a bad match up for sakura imo is why she should be placed above sakura especially since she can decapitate opponents from a distance its incredibly useful..

no need for a healer if there is no one know needs healing in the first place

 

[Nattana]

1. Mei.
2. Chiyo/Tsunade.
3. Tsunade/Chiyo.
4. Konan.
5. Kurenai.

That's of course making the assumption no one is able to counter Temari, or no one on the opposing team has a Katon, and that Temari's Range is larger than theirs. That the cuts she makes are precise and not adventitious. And that no one can over power jutsu.

I'm in the middle of writing a paper that I really need to turn in today. So I can't go through the manga to make my argument as carefully as I would like. But, Temari has her weaknesses like everyone else. Where for instance she'd be phenomenal at cutting down a forest, should earth sandwich be coming your way I'm sure Super Strength would be much appreciated. For that reason bad match ups against each other don't say which is more useful or better.
For instance the Hozuki Clan are bad matches for Taijutsu specialist but that doesn't make them better shinobi because they're bad match ups.

her jutsu are meant for a wide range area so its a given that its going to cut anything that is within that area.. if temari wants to make a precise cut thats what her summon can be used for..

as yes of course everyone has there weakness this is obvious.. and your speak of katon? we are debating between sakura and temari.. sakura does not have katon..

i brought up the fact that temari is a bad match up for sakura as a way to justify why i placed her above sakura.. in reality there should not be a top ten or top 5 because of this reason that the narutoverse is like Rock paper scissors however in the spirit of the thread i made a top 5 kunoichi that i feel are justifiable

if we are on about who is more useful to have in your team then i would say it depends on the team in general a team is supposed to be able to cover each others weaknesses so for temaris case who has a team that fight from a distance and has a great defence then a healer is not needed as much

however for a team that doesnt have such a defence then of course you would want a healer.. it all depends on who is within the team and how often the situation occurs in which they could be useful

 

[Momochifanboy]

Konan or Mei

 

[-Punk-]

agreed.. sakura's jutsu pool is very limited if she comes against any decent long range fighter she is at a massive disadvantage.. she also does not have the chakra pool to sustain self healing for a long period of time since even tsunade cannot keep it up for so long and she has huge chakra supplies not to mention it decreases ur life span..

Against Temari ninja tools do not work against her.. as seen when she fought tenten who was a master of them.. Temari has what it take to decapitate from a distance which is a healers worst nightmare imo.. you can heal scratches and a few marks but reatatching limbs isnt going to be easy and taking sakura's head off from a distance is something very possible

i will stick to my list being

1. Mei terumi
2. Konan
3. Tsunade
4. Temari
5. Sakura

I can agree with this list + rep ....the other lists are totally biased .

 

[AGoodBoy]

11 pages of nonsense... I like this thread

 

[iNotorious]

From what manga shows Tsunade is the strongest female and after Tsunade there is Sakura.So:
1.Tsunade
2.Sakura(A lot of potential ahead, still lacks few things)
3.Mei(She would be second but seeing how Sakura grows, I put her here)

Oh look's where.

OT: Sakura -> Mei? Oh really mind explaining ? ​

My words about whether or not Temari's larger fuutons are precise, was regarding the point you had about needing a medic if the enemy is already decapitated. My point being is not that easy to kill opponents with her fuuton.
Correction, we are not debating between Temari and Sakura. Because that doesn't address the issue at hand. Namely whose the better more useful shinobi. We are so caught up in this idea of if "x" can beat "y" in a one to one battle then x>y which doesn't hold true. So the whether or not Temari could beat Sakura has no bearing on this discussion. Further, the Katon argument is especially valid considering jonnin have about 2 to 3 elements at their disposal and in a group battle it's likely some one she's battling against would have fire style statistically. Which narrows her usefulness.
We are talking about both who is more useful in a team, and whose a better at the given skills as shinobi. Which can be compared. Temari for instance is meant to be a front line fighter, but as a support time her larger abilities could endanger her teammates. Thus, the way we decide who is more useful is by looking at the range of situations each is able to handle, and whoever can handle more situations is more useful. If projectiles are being thrown, Temari is your girl. If you need your enemy cut apart, again Temari. If you need to clear a forest, Temari. If your enemy uses sound genjutsu Temari. If you need your Katon boosted, Temari. If you need to be healed Sakura is your girl, if you need your chakra to be replenished Sakura is for you, if the enemy crosses gets within your formation Sakura is who you want, if you need a poison then turn to Sakura, if you need to be released from genjutsu turn to Sakura, if you need to be protected from a large scale attack turn to Sakura, if a large solid object is coming your way/ blocking your way you want Sakura there, you want to destroy very tough armor look at Sakura. You need any jutsu amped up use Sakura. Sakura has a varied amount of uses her job is to be in the back she due to being a medic is not meant to serve on the frontlines, but her skill as a fighter allows her to do so anyway, as compared to someone like Cee or even Shizune who couldn't do much on the front lines.

Current Sakura should be able to enter this list.

This is some cluster of bs to revieve.

 

[shelke]

Mei is not number one? What the hell is up with NB and its cheap trolls? Give the credit where it is due, you degenerates. I don't care about anyone's next choices, but not giving Mei the first spot is nonsense. She has two KGs for crying out loud, and has three elements - Suiton, Doton, and Katon under her belt.
