On the bright side, it's really good to see that, while he is a strong character, he's still not completely on the same level as the actual top dogs
I don't even think Sakura could beat Choji
This means that there's still a lot of room for growth
It's weird that Sakura never really loses on paper, but it never really feels like he won any of his major fights either
Like, Togame and Endo totally let him win
Sure, he won psychologically, but it just doesn't feel fulfilling
I like to think Ume wants to be a therapist or something so that he could help the people in the town in more than just the physical sense once he grew up.
