The Miseducation of Sakura’s Strength
People like to believe Chakra Enhanced Strength only refers to punching and kicking. Or releasing chakra only at sharp points on your body which includes punching,kicking,elbow jabs,finger flicks, hand chops and etc.
But what people are missing is that sakura CAN lift massive objects just like Tsunade herself. When Tsunade was shown to pick up Gambunta’s sword and swing it down on Manda. She was praised for having this incredible raw strength.
This was not an example of raw strength. This was a feat completed by utilizing precise chakra control resulting in CES (chakra enhanced strength)
It isn’t called Chakra Enhanced Punch/Kick/Chop for a reason. With having precise chakra control like Tsunade and Sakura. You’re able to enhance your OVERALL strength massively. Not just your brute strength. Nowhere in the manga nor the databooks was it stated Tsunade had immense NATURAL strength. It was always stated to be the result of chakra control.
Translation:
It would seem Tsunade’s “outrageous strength” completely ignores the laws of nature!! The challenge to common sense that is her power is due in no small part to her artful chakra control and fine-tuning. To give things a name, by instantly collecting chakra into her fist and fingers, she obtains a power of destruction bodily strength alone cannot achieve.
One finger, and Naruto cannot close in on her. And she can handle Gamabunta’s huge dosu** with absurd ease…?!

-Here’s to a painful and bitter end! Such is Tsunade-hime’s insane, “Legendary”, power!!
This all goes back to chakra control. So yes Sakura can lift huge object such as Gambunta’s sword aswell since she can enhance her strength also. It wouldn’t be far off to say sakura can lift heavier objects than Tsunade since she has full control of all of her reserves while Tsunade uses part of hers to keep herself looking young
