There's no reason that Karin would have Sakura's umbilical cord. Maybe Sarada's but finding Sakura's after decades later after Konoha was destroyed and rebuilt? Something stupid like it being the wrong cord would be the lamest and most nonsensical twist ever though. The story at least has some balls as it is.

 

Uhm, what are you talking about? No one said it was Sakura's.

Edit: Nvm, went back and read stormfury's post. Not sure what he was smoking when he said that.

 

the same shit kishimoto is with all the nonsense he pulls out of his ass.

The only thing we know is that it was in Karin's desk, and she doesn't like people touching her desk.

 

If these pages an are indication of what Naruto has become, thank God/Gods/Spaghetti Monster that I stopped reading it years ago. And people complain that Naruto turning the entire world in his harem while being a physical god and such and such in a fanfiction was ridiculous. Umbilical cords discussion, with clones and space time travel. No. The former is dumb and teenage wish fullfilment, the latter is... messy.

 

That's canon tho

 

Sarada has her mother's super strength.

 

So much bullshit. Not like i expected better though. Sarada, a fucking 12 year old girl with 1 tomoe sharingan, was able to kill the juubi teleport fucker, but Naruto/Sasuke couldn't do shit the previous time the Shins escaped. Doubly so for Sasuke since he let Shin escape from him twice.

 

It's called Kishimoto

 

Disregarding the obvious stupid, the combination of Sharingan + tsunade's super strength does make for a really fucking strong combo. Add the healing/regeneration, and you have one girl who, in a few years, will be pretty hard to kill.

 

I can't see Sarada getting the Mangekyou Sharingan (at least I sure hope she doesn't get it), but super strength + three-tomoe Sharingan would make her really powerful already.

Also, it would make sense for Sakura and Sasuke to have become slug and snake sages respectively by this point. Maybe not perfect sages, but at least on Jiraiya's level. They are both part of a select group of ninjas that have potential access to abilities that would augment their powers enormously. Realistically, there's no way they would neglect that for over a decade. But yeah, this is Kishi, so I don't see it happening.

 

Did Sasuke and Naruto see it coming is the question? I also don't think it was in arm's reach like it was here.

The major BS I see isn't that but the fact that Naruto and Sasuke aren't just unleashing wholesale slaughter on these clones. That's probably just CIS though.

 

Yea, honestly the chapter had a bunch of really bullshit moments. Naruto/Sasuke not outright destroying the Shins in an instant. Sarada being able to use Tsunade's super strength technique(seemingly to the same degree that Sakura could after the timeskip lol).

Ah well, good news is should only be another couple chapters or so of this mess. Was confirmed these chapters were only going to go for 1 volume. So about 10 chapters.

 

And what is wrong with that? Unlike Sakura, Sarada has been raised from birth by a powerful kunoichi. She's also an Uchiha, so probably highly intelligent (intelligence is a hereditary trait, after all). If Itachi could be a high-level badass while still a child, I see no reason why Sarada, his neice, could not. Learning her mother's signature jutsu at her age is completely within the bounds of reason, all things considered.

 

Its not a technique though, its an application of Tsunade-level chakra control (and potentially high chakra levels/medical knowledge).

 

Intelligence is not a hereditary trait of Uchihas. Not sure where you even can assume that considering all the downright retarded things almost all Uchiha's have been shown to do.

Trying to use Itachi as an example of why its perfectly okay for Sarada to be able to use Tsunade's technique(which requires retarded perfect chakra control and not just that but a decent well of chakra to pool from, more so than an academy student would have) before she's even a genin is retarded. Itachi's potential as a ninja even as a child makes Kakashi's progress look like a newborn in comparison.

Sasuke even with all the bullshit powerups still couldn't measure up to Itachi(until he got the sage powers that is, then i'd say he surpassed him finally, thats with Itachi being sick/blind and choosing not to obtain EMS too btw).

My point is, Sarada wouldn't be in the academy still if she had even half of Itachi's potential. And i'm sorry, Sakura is not a powerful Kunoichi. Sure, she can bust the ground up, but so can a dozen or so exploding tags. She's an A-rank Kunoichi at best.

 

Other kids learn Shadow Possession, Gentle Fist, Four Legs or Multi-Size Jutsu from their parents. Sarada learned Cherry Blossom Impact from hers.

 

All of those technique/taijutsu styles you mentioned are entry-level, simple techniques that are easy enough that a fresh genin/academy student(that grew up in those clans) can learn it.

Tsunade's chakra application super strength is not. If it was, you would see a lot more people using it and it wouldn't have taken Sakura 3 years after she was already a somewhat seasoned genin to learn it.

 

Seems like exaggeration. Sasuke was easily stronger than Itachi when he got the EMS. The stuff that Sasuke pulled out against Obito and Madara made that very clear. The only advantage Itachi had was secret Uchiha jutsu and strategy. Sasuke could beat Itachi in terms of sheer chakra power before he even got the MS.

No Sarada shouldn't be in the academy at that skill level but the same could be said for Sasuke. This is suppose to be a peaceful time. Konoha doesn't really need child soldiers. Konoha was founded on the idea of keeping kids out of battle. That they keep kids from becoming shinobi early when they can afford to doesn't seem like BS to me.

We don't know that it took Sakura three years to learn it. Just that we saw her using it after three years of training.

 

When I said intelligence is a hereditary trait, I wasn't talking about kekkei genkai. I'm talking about real life. Intelligence runs in families. Two smart people are more likely to have smart children than two dumbasses.

Since Itachi was a phenomenal genius, and Sasuke a prodigy in his own right, there's a very good chance that Sarada would be clever and talented. Both Karin and Sakura are highly intelligent, as well, so no matter which way you look at it, Sarada stands to inherit a mighty fine IQ.

Being smart and talented would help her learn new skills quickly. As for chakra reserves, there's nothing in canon that says you need a lot of chakra for super strength. Just very fine chakra control. If Sakura had been training her daughter for long enough, of course Sarada could employ this technique.

Why am I even arguing? Kishimoto has already made my view canon.

 

Sasuke was not a phenomenal genius. Sasuke wasn't even a genius, i don't give a shit how many times Kakashi and others said he was. Kakashi was a genius. Itachi was a phenomenal genius. Sasuke couldn't even match Kakashi's potential until he got bs powerups via curse mark and Orochimaru's drugs and shit. Sasuke got his ass beat by Lee before he got any of his bs powerups so that proves my point.

Sakura is not intelligent. She was book smarts and had good chakra control. Karin was most probably the same in that regard, not actually intelligent, just book smart(with a drug enhanced body via Orochimaru). Also, you seem to be putting to much emphasis on nature rather than nurture in terms of intelligence. Genes do not solely control how intelligent a person will be. It's hard to say how much is from nature or nurture granted, but i'd argue more of it comes from nurture than nature.

A child born into a household with parents who are both intelligent and decently well off financially is obviously going to pick up their mannerisms and ideals to an extent, and have a more healthy diet which also helps with things like studying and memory/etc.

You're joking right? Sasuke could beat Itachi before he got the MS? So you mean when Sasuke fought Itachi, Sasuke could easily beat Itachi? Even though Sasuke couldn't even land a hit on Itachi and this was an Itachi who went into the fight wanting Sasuke to kill him and thus wasn't going all out.

And again, even when Sasuke had EMS, he was still stupid weak compared to Itachi. Sick!Itachi would probably still be able to beat EMS Sasuke. It's a whole other ballgame when we're talking about EdoTensei!Itachi who's not blind anymore and not sick. You're out of your mind if you think Sasuke > Itachi then.

Sasuke hardly did shit to Madara before he got the sage powers. And it isn't like he was 1v1ing Obito either. Obito was fighting all the Kage's plus Sasuke and Naruto.
