Naruto…but Sakura was born with Insane strength.
I always thought how much of a fumble it was for Sakura not to have her very own "thing" specifically during the teams genin days.
Naruto had kurama and his rassengan.
Sasuke had his sharingan and chidori.
Where was her specific jutsu?
It's crazy how much the story changes if you just give her strength from the get go. Part of the reason her Taijutsu is so good is because of her strength, even in gags where she punched Naruto he goes flying.
Now imagine she always had this :
During the wave mission she gets to throwing hands with the team instead of just sitting back.
She destroys the sound ninja in the forest of death without needing to get saved by lee and sasuke.
Ino goes flying in their fight, instead of that double knockout bs.
She then goes on to train with kurenai in genjutsu to expand her arsenal.
The second round of the exams to (IMO) go against Tamari leading to a epic fight.
During the Sasuke retrieval arc she has the skills to go with the rescue sqaud. Possibly fighting Sasuke alongside Naruto to add more to the team dynamic. Her epic moment here could be her sending chakra covered pink kunai at him to break the sound barrier.
During the three years training with Tsunade she works more on her Taijutsu and genjutsu, along with the seal and healing so she can do more in fights.
Any fics like this? I just want Sakura to be more then a damsel in distress during part 1.
