This wasn't about Chakra control sugar bear, but we can get into that AGAIN if you would like.
Not really, Sakura always stood her ground, Sasuke would always jump to attack the aggressor.
First of all Sasuke had to use his brain more than Sakura because of his eyes he knows where the attacks are going but he still has to think of counters and he still has to recoginze some fight patterns that his eyes can't see. Sakura also rarely used ninjutsu she for a long time just patients in a condition where they could wait for Tsunade to heal them properly. Shikamaru is on a level that Sakura can't even touch because he is all the Best parts of Sakura and Sasuke combined. He has an IQ of over two hundred. Shikamaru was also one of the smartest people in the village only second to his dad who the chief military tactician.
Sakura has did everything that Shikamaru have did using her wits alone. Sakura and Sasuke can both read and counter attack patterns. Sakura not having any ninjutsu wasn't a testiment of her intellect, it was mainly plot and a shitty teacher. Sakura use acaemy ninjutsu alone to fight of 3 ninja would where said to be chunnin leveled. Using her wits and a combination of body flicker and subtitiution. Show me something that Shikamaru need in the manga that Sakura hasn't. There is nothing, Shikamaru intellect is nothing but hype.
No. Sakura could not have made the decisions that Shikkaku did nor can she keep up with Shikmaru's brain. The only reason that he doesn't do shit is cuz he is a lazy ass. He only does the minimum requirement in order to get things done. We can go all the way back to chunin exams to have proof of this he had Temari beat but id not move on because he knew it was a lot of work and even Teamri is smarter than Sakura. Sakura is good for back up in fight and has above average book smarts but she is by no means a genius the way the Nara's are.
