I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it over and over and over again. Sakura is a “nobody,” with an irrelevant clan, without a Kekkei Genkai, without secret clan techniques, without enhanced DNA, without a genetically inherited legacy, without a Sharingan or Shadow Clones to help her increase the rate at which she learns techniques and she is fighting on par (or close to par) with her teacher, with a woman who is both Senju and Uzumaki. That is fraking amazing. I don’t care anymore if she surpasses Tsunade (though, from a writing perspective it would seem necessary), I don’t care about what others say about her, the fact that she’s come so far because of her drive, her determination, her intelligence…I’m so proud of her. And you know what else? it also shows how amazing of a teacher Tsunade is, that she could help to bring someone without the sort of enhanced DNA the ninja in the Naruto-verse rely on so far —Tsunade is the best teacher in the Narutoverse because of how far she’s brought Sakura, because of how much she has given Sakura. They are amazing, I don’t care that so many underestimate them anymore, I just adore them both. They are both incredible, it’s plainly in the manga, and I’m glad that I’m fortunate enough to see that clearly, to read this aspect of the manga accurately.
