What if Inner Sakura was a Yin-Yang technique that little Sakura accidentally created in her loneliness once she and Ino stopped being friends. Imagine, because Sakura has both Yin and Yang Release, and her little self probably thought she just made an imaginary friend but oops, turns out she's real after all. Imagine, she could protect Sakura against Yin-based jutsus and could contribute to the fight invisibly. Imagine, her being more than just a running gag. IMAGINE.
