@alhollandwrites Also honestly being a full blown ninja surgeon AND medical director in her twenties is already SOOOO IMPRESSIVE id pay to watch a detailed medical ninjutsu arc about all the nuances of healing and therapy
@alhollandwrites Bestie thank you for this!!! Her competence is something she worked to the bone for and I love her dearly for it. I also always find it so much more exciting to rift off on chakra control alone and find creative uses for it instead of slapping mokuton or something on her
she also has above average intelligence, but is not considered to be on the same level as shika or kks, but its still worth noting ANYWAY this rant brought to you by someone mary sue-ing sakura which. there's no need, bc she's already incredibly impressive
everything else she accomplishes (and don't get it twisted, she Accomplishes) is through gargantuan effort. she takes that One Thing (chakra control) and hones in on it until she can do Anything.
my favourite thing about sakura is that she's not really good a lot of things. she has a natural affinity for like, two things. chakra control, and genjutsu. and her genjutsu talent is largely ignored in canon, for whatever reason
