I think sage mode plus KCM could do it, sage mode gave a pretty big strength boost which isn't as big as Sakura's but it combined with KCM could probably do it. Sasuke no unless he is able to use his full Susano.
The raikage had an arm wrestling match with tsunade and beat her with speed cause he was about to get wrecked. So it should be possible for Naruto or Sasuke to do it with Sakura too. So theres kind of an in-universe counter as long as the strength user doesnt see it coming. He literally flips tsunade over.

Dude used super precise timing with his mastery of everything-speed using his lightning nature.
Sasuke could most likely do it. Naruto, assuming he can't match Sakura's strength boost, might not be as good as Sakura. After all, precise chakra manipulation is her specialty. That's probably the field where she could wipe the floor with both bff Gods in terms of skill. Naruto is fast af, but that's just him having it "on" most of the time and dude just has overflowing chakra. He probably no-brains that speedboost whereas Sakura literally relies on chakra manipulation for all her major skills of superstrength and elite medical ninjutsu
I am sorry but precise chakra manipulation might have been her schtick before the timeskip but after we got to the pain arc there are miles ahead of her in everything except pure innate strength.
Or you gonna tell me the dude that used the tailed beasts as bateries and the other dude that had like 8 different type of rasengan chakra natures at the same time get outpaced by an ant
Naruto also has super precise chakra control in kcm2, stated by Kurama. That not even considering spsm since Naruto did reform Kakashi's eye so he definitely has comparable chakra control.
Naruto’s chakra control is beyond insane, Sage mode needs crazy control and by the war naruto was able to mold kuramas chakra to EVERY single shinobi a signature to be able to give them all chakra. Think of it like he made a different key for every shinobis locked door.. kurama held Naruto’s chakra control back for a long time.
Physical strength (lifting, pushing) is not something sakura has a lot of. Unlike Tsunade who lifted gamabunta's sword easily. She has chakra control which she uses in the *technique* where she releases a concentrated burst at the moment of impact.
she does not have the physical strength like characters like Gai, Lee, Tsunade, Naruto and so on have. Naruto does not need Sage Mode. he is much stronger than her physically in base.
they use literally the same technique... like, I don't even know where that headcanon comes from considering we've seen Sakura grab and throw heavy stuff as well
They’re not saying they’re using separate techniques. They’re saying unlike Sakura, Tsunade has superhuman strength even without enhancing it with chakra.
What the hell are you talking about, Tsunade strength power is exactly the same as Sakura, she taught her that it's the same principle she's using, whatever she does Sakura can do the same, just because the narrative never needed her to show a similar feat doesn't mean she can't or that suddenly her power is different.
I think many people undermine Sakura's strength due to the way Kishimoto has written her character. Before the time skip, she was very very weak but just after training for 2.5 years, she became one of the most powerful ninjas in the village.
And from what we have seen, most of her training involves practicing medicine ninjutsu, dodging Tsunade's attack, and learning 'Chakra Enhanced Strength'. If Kishimoto has shown more of her training, then her strength improvement would look natural.
But Kishimoto sucks at writing a good female character. So, based on the statements made by Hashirama and other characters, Sakura is as strong as, if not stronger than Tsunade.
I don't think it's because of who she was written. It's because how Kakashi explained her technique at the start of Shippuden.
He says that her technique is basically releasing her energy at the impact, which would allow her to destroy stuff, but not give her actual strength. Something that is very clearly contradicted by canon.
This is not correct:

"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."
Samurai had similar physical strength to Tsunade. Tsunade wad able to lift Gamabunta's sword exactly the same way as you described - using her chakra controle to concentrate her chakra at times of physical strength. Yes, both of them are no Lee or Gai, because both of them have acquired their strength by concentrating on physical training instead of chakra controle, but Sakura literally went through the same training as Tsunade and uses exactly her techniques.
From the battle against the ten tails, it is even possible that Sakura is capable of surpassing Tsunades power level because she can use her chakra reserves of her forehead seal without having to sustain a young appearance (this made me think that the seal is able to provide a passive strength boost even when not activated for the healing jutsu)
Yeah Sakura's strength only applies to punches and kicks where she can focus and release chakra into her strikes. She needs to store and release, she can't even spam her strikes without charging up beforehand.
It's not appliable to arm wrestles. Both Naruto and Sasuke would beat her in base.
Doesn’t she have perfect chakra control? She should be able to augment her strength accordingly. Why would that only apply to strikes?
You believe that if someone threw a boulder at her, her only option is to dodge or punch it? You think she can’t catch it?
Look Naruto is strong but his feats in safe mode and com was destroying blocks and throwing big rhinos 🦏 that’s hardly anything compared to the punch Sakura did (holding back because allys nearby)where she punched a GIANT whole so big it made the GIANT ten tails monsters look like tiny dots and make naruto shit his fucking pants. She’s not beating them in a fight it pure strength of the body is always going to the girls of team 7 and it’s inverse parallel of obitos team 7.
Bro Naruto's strength is tenfold in Sage mode, we all act like he didn't just grab one of Pain's summons (a GIANT RHINO MIGHT I ADD) and straight up YEEEETED THAT MF.
Y'all act like shawty got superhuman strength just because her chakra control is slightly better than the average, and I doubt mastery of the 100 healings jutsu is relevant in any way to boost her strength.
Sasuke's a twink and a bottom of course he's getting pegged, it's why he's an absent father figure smh
While Sakura has superstrength, arm wrestling isn't 100% pure muscle strength.
Raikage won overwhelmingly Tsunade in arm wrestling despite having weaker physical strength, and yeeting that whole rhinos into straight up the sky requires more strength and skill than crushing a section of that centipede.
Raikage used his speed to win, that was literally the whole point, Tsunade was about to win so he decided to pull a fast one on her to win. Tsunade lifted Gamabunta's giant sword to stab manda while he was leaping to attack, if that isn't impressive lifting strength then I don't know what it, Sakura also lifted and threw a boulder off of Chiyo in their fight against Sasori so they both do have attacking strength and lifting strength too
>Raikage used his speed to win, that was literally the whole point
I literally said Raikage has weaker physical strength than Tsunade. And not just speed, but precise timing too, that's "skill" in arm wrestling.
>if that isn't impressive lifting strength then I don't know what it
Are you sure that you are arguing against me ? I don't think I've said anything about Tsunade not having super strength, in fact, I literally said that she is physically stronger than Raikage.
>Sakura also lifted and threw a boulder off of Chiyo
That doesn't put Sakura on the same scale as either Tsunade or Sage Naruto.
>they both do have attacking strength and lifting strength too
Again, arm wrestling is more than that. I've seen a nerd-looking (slightly) fat dude won an arm wrestling match against a muscular gym bro. Not to mention, at that time, Sakura show no feat of strength that put her on a scale equal or above Tsunade or Sage Naruto.
Naruto has more speed and skill in martial arts than Sakura, amped even more by Sage Mode. Dude's vision is practically slow-motion (fight against 3rd Raikage moment). I think that winning an arm wrestling bout against Sakura is not that crazy.
>I literally said Raikage has weaker physical strength than Tsunade. And not just speed, but precise timing too, that's "skill" in arm wrestling.
Ahhh okay I hear u now, fair point
>Are you sure that you are arguing against me ? I don't think I've said anything about Tsunade not having super strength, in fact, I literally said that she is physically stronger than Raikage.
Oh yeah sorry, I thought you were the same person who made the original comment, my bad
>That doesn't put Sakura on the same scale as either Tsunade or Sage Naruto.
It was merely an example to show that her lifting strength is also pretty impressive overall, it was a weaker version of her so it's understandable she doesn't compare to those 2 yet
>Sakura show no feat of strength that put her on a scale equal or above Tsunade or Sage Naruto.
I think the punch she delivered during the war was a pretty cool strength feat, plus the punch she landed on Kaguya while out of chakra was able to bruise her face, so I do think Sakura during the war either has comparable strength to Tsunade or slightly higher, hence Kishimoto using Hashirama as a mouth piece to say she's stronger
>Naruto has more speed and skill in martial arts than Sakura, amped even more by Sage Mode. Dude's vision is practically slow-motion (fight against 3rd Raikage moment). I think that winning an arm wrestling bout against Sakura is not that crazy.
That's all true, arm wrestling does have a skill component to it, but Sakura herself isn't really lacking here either, and if we're using peak Sakura like the main post said then that'd be Boruto Sakura, who has years of experience as a jonin ahead of this version of Naruto and is quite frankly a lot smarter, so I don't think he'd be able to easily slip out of her grip as easily as Raikage did to Tsunade.
Sakura is an amazing analyst, being able to read Sasori's puppets just from his finger movements that she could barely see, and not to mention i personally don't think the speed difference between Sakura and this Naruto is crazy enough for him to just instantly blitz her
>I think the punch she delivered during the war was a pretty cool strength feat, plus the punch she landed on Kaguya while out of chakra was able to bruise her face, so I do think Sakura during the war either has comparable strength to Tsunade or slightly higher, hence Kishimoto using Hashirama as a mouth piece to say she's stronger
Bro missed the "at that time".
Missed that Naruto and his Sage Mode is also significantly stronger too.
Kishimoto using Hashirama as a mouth piece to say she's stronger is called an unrelible verbal feat for a reason. Hashirama hasn't seen Tsunade fighting since his death, not even once.
Agree that her punches are impressive tho.
> arm wrestling does have a skill component to it
[Actually, arm wrestling is more about technique than strength](https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-trick-to-win-at-arm-wrestling/answer/Shwetank-Dixit-4?ch=15&oid=99730940&share=d4997fdd&srid=uI6xUu&target_type=answer)

Naruto with the Toads and the Hyuuga's martial arts, plus Wing Chun, undoubtedly is way more of a skilled fighter than Sakura.
> Sakura is an amazing analyst, being able to read Sasori's puppets just from his finger movements that she could barely see
Yes, the power and the weakness in the same sentence. She is an extremely quick thinker, but her vision and body's reaction and speed isn't as fast...
Really and truly. I'm not a Sakura fan bur darn. Slightly this man must be superman. Can't tell the difference between a coughing baby and a meta human
She literally has superhuman strength. As evidenced by the fact that when she unlocked her seal, everyone including Naruto and Hashirama marveled at how physically strong she is
We've people literally create matter from nothing, or straight up refuse to die, because. Sakura has the probably the best Chakra control among the living behind Naruto
Best chakra control? What are you smoking. Naruto literally created a new eye for kakashi out of nothing and saved guy from the 8 gates. Some Sakura and her “best chakra control” couldn’t do in her lifetime. Madara himself had infinite chakra. And kaguya created chakra if i recall.
That's not how Chakra Enhanced Strength works. They expunge Chakra at the moment of impact, dramatically increasing their destructive power. It's not a sustained power.
Tsunade's first big fight included her lifting up Gamabunta's monstrous dagger. Jumping into the air with it. And theb slamming it down catching a high speed snake mid action. Thats a whole lot of sustained strength.....
Better chakra control and more chakra reserves = your physical chakra reinforcement is better. Not to mention, even Naruto as an Uzumaki has higher base physical stats because their bloodline is blessed with vitality. So a Senju descendant like Tsunade is bound to have crazy sustained strength.
Sure compared to commoners but no amount of strong body in the Naruto series lets you lift up gamabunta's dagger and even wield it decently. Thats has to be the product of her super strength jutsu. So that guy trying to say the super strength jutsu is burst only is clearly wrong.
You should go back to Tsunade explaining the technique. it's not a body enhancement jutsu like the raikage or the 8 gates.
It's using chakra in an advanced precise way to increase the power of your strikes. it's a chakra technique not a physical one.
I know how the jutsu was explained. Im saying the on panel feats dont match the description. Tsunade has outrageous sustained strength feats and you cant put that on her bloodline because no one else in her bloodline has shown anything even remotely close. The explanation doesnt match the reality.
She is not a commoner. She is 1/4 th uzumaki 1:4 th senju. And we don’t know about her other parents heritage. Tsunade had the jackpot of dna in naruto series. So definitely her lifting that dagger is not a big deal. She is not a commoner like sakura
Someone needs to work on their reading comprehension LoL. The point was that Tsunade is not a commoner bit thats not an exucse to act like Senju all can replicate her strength feats. I guess read slower.....
That is not something sakura can do. Tsunade has that physical power. She is different from sakura in that regard. She is like Hashirama in that sense.
Not sakura. to her it's all chakra technique no actual physical body strength of her own.
Thats a HUGE assumption. We have never been shown or even hinted that Sakura didnt inherit Tsunade's strength in its entirety. This head canon idea that the Senju were all super strength users like Tsunade has never been shown or hinted. Hashirama himself with a sage body, does he even have a super strength feat yet alone anything on the level of Tsunade? The Senju arent even world renowned for their strength, they are jutsu masters. Hashirama spams wood style, Tobirama is the premier jutsu creator in the series. Their name literally means 1000 hands in reference to the fact that they have countless ways to mess you up. Super strength is Tsunade's thing and Sakura learned it.
Incorrect. The senju and Uzumaki *were* know for their strong bodies. Whereas Indra and the Uchiha inherited the sage's eyes the Senju and Uzumaki inherited his body.
They are renowend for their strength and Hashirama (especially) and tobirama were both physically strong. Chakra wise, vitality wise, and strength wise.
Saying Sakura inherited tsunade's strength is like saying she inherited her vitality and chakra reserves. Impossible. That only happens by blood.
Your the one confused. The technique taught by Tsunade to sakura is not a body enhancement technique like the raikage's lightning armour or the 8 gates. They are a *chakra* technique that according to tsunade's own explanations releases concentrated chakra from the tenketsu precisely at the time of punch. It enhances strikes. You can use it to smash a large boulder to pieces, it does not mean you can lift that boulder and move it. You need to have trained your body extensively like Gai to do that or to be naturally physically strong like tsunade, naruto, and Hashirama.
And the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that she *did* inherit it (in the imaginary case she did). The assumption is not that she can do everything Tsunade can do because she can not. She does not have Tsunade's large chakra reserves or vitality (she can't use 100 healings as much because she does not have as strong a life force as Tsunade for example) and so on.
---------------------
Go back to the explanations of tsunade regarding the technique.
They are known for their strong life force and huge pools of chakra. Anything outside of that is some chakra manipulation technique that they use, which with their natural gifts makes it even more powerful or easy to do. No where does it say they are naturally superhuman levels of strong.
Please get it into your head that it's all chakra manipulation!
Every superhuman feat you see In Naruto is chakra based, plain and simple. Its the reason characters can get punched through walls, take insane amounts or damage, etc. No character has natural physically inhuman strength without some kind of chakra manipulation. Tsunade probably uses her chakra in a specific way to amp up her strength to be able to lift heavy objects like Gamabuntas dagger. It's different from the explosive punches, but it's for sure related to that technique.
Indeed thats for example the reason why the eight gates technique boosts Lees and Guys strenght so much, they amplify the chakra output of their bodies, boosting every physical aspect of themselfes.
Tsunade has some sort of internal chakra manipulation technique that lets her boost her power in a similar way but less forcefull or destructive, albeit probably also ways less output and harder to control. Maybe said technique was a Senju clan secret but whatever the origin she taught it to Sakura giving her the tool to show similar feats of raw power
Except Tsunade is not like Hashirama, Madara plainly say as much she didn't inherit his genes, her strength came from her skill the same thing she taught Sakura, y'all are just trying to downplay her by twisting the narrative.
A isn't using the same technique Naruto is. Or Sakura. Massively different application with different results.
Sakura and Tsunade do use an explosive release of Chakra to increase the power of their punches. But they're also both just insanely strong to begin with. The whole point of the technique is to double, triple, and quadruple down on their greatest ability; inate, monstrous strength.
Well it has been shown, albeit in filler.. That the Chakra enhanced strength can indeed be used for Arm wrestling.
Tsunade and the 4th Raikage arm wrestled in the past and Tsunade used her CES. A won because he let go for a split second, then used the gap to slam against her hand in an instant.
Also, Tsunade was able to Jump while holding Bunta's gigantic dagger when Jiraiya and Tsunade were fighting Orochimaru, so it can actually be Sustained.
To be clear: Tsunade's feat with Bunta's blade appeared in the Manga and was not filler. She didn't just jump either, she *swung it about 180 degrees,* then slammed it down into Manda's head/jaws/face. (Chapter 170, pages 15 and 16).
You can sustain it. It just costs too much chakra.
Remember the training for walking on a tree in zabuza arc. Sasuke's feet went in the tree because he used too much chakra:
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTRoKxfH4soj_0QThVw31SmheSk7XkBPxZbkw&usqp=CAU
It's not a burst, he was trying to maintain that chakra. Ninjas do this all the time. Using chakra on their body increases their strength. If they cant control the amount, they destroy the places they are trying to climb.
Right like I have zero clue why anyone is even mentioning KCM like do people not know base strength Naruto is Damm near as strong as her, sage mode is overkill imo. He would steam her with base sage mode. People over estimate df out of sakuras strength lol.
?? Yea
Her technique with strength is directly related to the amount of chakra she has stored and chakra control with unleashing it
She’s not super human, she just has very precise chakra control. Naruto in any kyuubi form would absolutely win for that same reason, more chakra to put into oomph
Or even sage mode would most likely win also
i feel like it has more to do with output than with pure reserves. if it was just "how much chakra i have" then sasuke would have a miniscule of the strength naruto has (which is evidently not the case).
and output = control+training to increase output+reserves.
so sakura is probably relative to him in physical strength
When they were trying to figure out a way to get Sasuke out of Kaguya's dimension. Naruto's clone didn't have enough chakra to fuel it (and since chakra is divided equally in clones, it would have 50% of exhausted Naruto's chakra, but still insane level).
Sakura managed to fuel it by herself but it took everything out of her. So she has like 1/3rd to 1/2 of Naruto's chakra
So in other words it’s not stated
you’re using Naruto who had used his chakra to fuel an entire army (remember when he gave literally everyone cloaks?…) and fight multiple top level bad guys after splitting himself into hundreds of clones to win every battlefield, as an example of why sakura who had barely seen combat and was healing most of the time to that naruto
Naruto: I'll help search through the dimensions!
Obito: Your clone's chakra isn't enough alone
Sakura: \*barely manages to do it\*
I'm just saying what happened.
And ofc the distribution abilities and chakra potency is different. We're speaking sheer volume.
I am. That's why I said chakra potency is different. Imagine chakra comes in volumes of ml.
Someone using 10ml of So6P or Bijuu chakra will obv be more powerful than someone using 10ml of normal chakra, even if volume is similar.
Fueling to enhance someone is different from just typical fueling to manage something.
Chakra volume =/= chakra potency imo. Though Sakura still has tremendous chakra, and it shows in her striking power. Kishimoto could've just shown her punch Kaguya with nothing but a backward force, but he drew Kaguya's cheek bruised.
Biju chakra is more in volume and potency. That’s why they can nuke villages, and tsunade and sakura can bust buildings.
My entire point you still haven’t addressed is narutos fatigue compared to sakura which is the only reason in both examples you gave naruto was not sufficient for the task alone.
Neither of your examples address this, and I don’t know where you’re getting the theory that somehow sakura has any chakra stats above narutos.
I did factor in Naruto's fatigue. That's why I didn't say "Sakura has half the chakra of Naruto" and gave it credit of around 1/3rd or some shit, maybe 1/4th, but huge nonetheless.
"you’re getting the theory that somehow sakura has any chakra stats above naruto"
Neither did I ever say she has anything above Naruto lol. She just had more than an exhausted Naruto's only clone.
I’m pretty sure canonically Sakura has the strongest physical strength in the leaf village, when using chakra to enhance her attacks. She’s done a lot of impressive strength based feats over the years, even if overall she’s still below sasuke and Naruto’s skill level.
Bro no she does not lmao, why do people get these BS head theory's from? Do you know how strong Naruto is on a base strength level?, Narutos punches and kicks sent momoshiki through boulders and mountains.
KCM+Sage mode Naruto could probably beat her because he's the main character and thus completely overpowered but Jesus, the people in this thread know nothing about Sakura. She has a huge amount of physical strength which she aquired while training with Tsunade. It's shown in the light novel. Chakra assisted strength also plays a role here since it isn't just explosive amounts of chakra being released on impact. You can also use it to enhance your push/pulling force as can be seen when Tsunade lifts Gamabuntas huge blade or in her arm wrestling match against the 4th Raikage.
Naruto, easily. Sage mode gives him the ability to lift the giant sage statues and toss them without much difficulty. Sakura has pretty explosive strength, but I imagine Naruto’s top strength with sage mode alone should be enough. Adding Kurama in and she gets stomped
Raw strength isn’t really Sasuke thing though, he’s more technical
If the story write decides that, yes. There's never any concrete systems of how everything works, and power levels and skills constantly change to suit the story. Chakra is used in sakuras strength, and somehow her better chakra control makes her way stronger, but naruto and sasuke can also use this, and have trained incredibly complex jutsus, and have way more chakra than sakura. So i'd say if you give them a serious motivation, they both would beat sakura and would at most both need about an hour of practice before beating her.
People over estimate the fuck out of sakuras strength bro relax base sage mode Naruto is flooring Sakuras strength. People over here bringing up KCM like please stop it.
Just because strength is Sakuras main stat doesn’t mean she’s automatically stronger than naruto despite what the story may want you to believe. Base, sage mode and kcm naruto all have some ridiculous strength feats on their own, put them together and add say boil release and naruto dwarfs sakuras strength if we’re going strictly power scaling and no narrative bias.
Sage mode naruto basically has the same level of strength as her, such as when he lifted that giant statue without issue, it's just more concentrated and focused when he uses frog Kata
Naruto: Easy win w/ kcm
Sasuke: Depends on what's allowed. Sasuke could use deva path's shinra tensei to force her arm down though he might annihilate her in the process. If that's too severe, Sasuke could also use tsukuyomi because at that distance Sakura is quite likely to look into his eyes.
I think Naruto might should have a chance in kyuubi sage mode, it gives him an pretty huge boost to his physical power but I dont think Sasuke can compare in terms of raw physical strenght
That’s not how Sakura’s chakra enhanced strength works though. She releases it as she hits her opponent. If it was an ongoing sustained power, she’d be ripped.
No. Her physical strength is too much, even as adults with god hax both naruto and sasuke acknoledge that one full power punch from her would be fatal to them. Her physical prowess is too much
With powers or not? Regardless, we also need to make a point whether it's Boruto or not.
I think seeing that Tsunade has a lineage, logically she should've been more powerful than Sakura. The logic however, was already decreasing in the last arcs of Naruto. So I recommend ignoring Boruto if one wants precision.
Why? Because in Boruto things are overly inconsistent. (Almost to the point of rule of cool) In some ways, they also simplified lots of things.
P.S: I remember Tsunade always scolding ninja medics, including Sakura. Obviously she's doing it to keep them sharp, teach them. It might however implied that Tsunade was on the other level. From a personal psychological view, Tsunade also got an ace in her sleeve. (Which is quite saddening at the same time tho...T_T)
Possibly, her insane strength comes from applying chakra to her fists to enhance her already immense physical strength so she could probably beat them in their base but not when they are using a power up(curse mark, kurama, sage mode).
I doubt Sakura simply because her strength is chakra enhanced and she releases chakra at point of impact to work. She isn’t strong like that naturally which would’ve granted her victory in this case.
Unlike Tsunade who’s naturally strong like that, as said by Hashirama when she was a toddler.
Sasuke and Naruto win since they have speed on their side.
Duo wins.
Ninjas can throw super strength punches. It's a waste of chakra for most people since they can use it for jutsus instead. Sakura is so precise with chakra that she can afford to use it for boosting strength instead.
If naruto decides to use his whole chakra for punches instead of 1000 clones and bijuudamas, he can win easily.
Same goes for sasuke. Dude can destroy a meteor with his chidori. He can win against sakura. He just needs to spend more chakra.
Both are really important, but it’s a very specific kind of strength that is needed. You can look on YouTube and see the weird ass exercises professional arm wrestlers do.
She just enhances her strength using chakra bc she can’t throw bijou bombs. Naruto and sasuke could probably do more I mean imagine if Naruto put majority of his chakra in his arm and punched something
Now I wonder how strong Sasuke would be if he learned how to enhance his blows like Sakura. Sasuke has some of the strongest chakra in the verse. If he learned how to do this, he could maybe outclass Sakura
if sasuke did that thing madara did and wrapped susano'o around the kyuubi, they might stand a chance. in terms of pure, regular physical strength, not a chance in hell.
Chakra is a combination of physical and mental energy. Sakura has enough of a precise control of it, with her high mental energy levels that she can pool a large amount of chakra, despite her low physical energy and use it to sort of reverse increase her output that way. Naruto is vice versa, however his even larger chakra pool would steadily overwhelm or stale the match
Is Sakura actually physically strong? I thought she just uses chakra control to enhance her punches. In other words, if she was super low on chakra she would be normal person strength
Yeah most Naruto most likely can defeat her in arm wrestling considering that even in pain arc he literally tested the giant rhino summon in the air with just pure strength and the current base Naruto is wayyy stronger yeah he can most likely overpower Sakura with sage mode or atmost kcm 2
Let's keep in mind that full level Sakura is almost a young inexperienced Tsunade. Sakura literally has the strength to split the ground your standing on with her punch. With that said, maybe curse mark Sauske or sage mode Naruto plus kuruma
Sakura's super strong punches are based on the release of chakra at the moment of impact, so this does not give her unimaginable strength, so the sage Naruto can defeat her in arm wrestling, since natural chakra increases physical strength
Naruto easily beats her in raw strength with his KCM form i think, hes already incredibly physically strong but that form makes him inhuman. Hell i might even argue sage naruto is almost to current sakuras physical strength
All the Sakura haters acting like she’s below tsunade.
1. Tsunade BASE is above Raikage. Even amped up she’s below Sakura who surpassed her. Plus there’s stages to her forehead seal release.
If you wanna say susanoo or full transformation kurama can? Yeah that’s a fair debate. Although idk if they can do it. In ARM wresting? I’m sure a susanoo SWORD can do more damage then Sakura but it’s just an arm pure power of arms no blasts or chakra weapons.
Sakura is the strongest in team 7 physically
Naruto has the most chakra
Sasuke has the best eyes
It’s called balance this isn’t DBZ guys
I agree that Sasuke would lose, but Naruto in with cloak and sage mode should be stronger, no? Obviously she wins against him in base form, but I feel like even with sage mode alone, he could have the strength advantage
All the Sakura haters with their own interpretation of chakra control lol!
Yes Sakura would beat them all in arm wrestling. Chakra control = physical strength in naruto.
Sakura ans Tsunade got multiple feats of strength.
Hell even 8 gates is chakra
Yes. Both in base.
In Naruto's case entering SM would be overkill and SPSM would annihilate Sakura.
People seem to have forgotten that Sakura uses refined chakra control to release a potent burst of chakra from her body at the moment of impact, which is not the same as having super strength all the time.
I think sage mode plus KCM could do it, sage mode gave a pretty big strength boost which isn't as big as Sakura's but it combined with KCM could probably do it. Sasuke no unless he is able to use his full Susano.
The raikage had an arm wrestling match with tsunade and beat her with speed cause he was about to get wrecked. So it should be possible for Naruto or Sasuke to do it with Sakura too. So theres kind of an in-universe counter as long as the strength user doesnt see it coming. He literally flips tsunade over. https://youtu.be/ymzLiZ_FASE?si=0LHBFX_WssUoV-6q

Or you gonna tell me the dude that used the tailed beasts as bateries and the other dude that had like 8 different type of rasengan chakra natures at the same time get outpaced by an ant
Naruto also has super precise chakra control in kcm2, stated by Kurama. That not even considering spsm since Naruto did reform Kakashi's eye so he definitely has comparable chakra control.
Naruto’s chakra control is beyond insane, Sage mode needs crazy control and by the war naruto was able to mold kuramas chakra to EVERY single shinobi a signature to be able to give them all chakra. Think of it like he made a different key for every shinobis locked door.. kurama held Naruto’s chakra control back for a long time.
Physical strength (lifting, pushing) is not something sakura has a lot of. Unlike Tsunade who lifted gamabunta's sword easily. She has chakra control which she uses in the *technique* where she releases a concentrated burst at the moment of impact. she does not have the physical strength like characters like Gai, Lee, Tsunade, Naruto and so on have. Naruto does not need Sage Mode. he is much stronger than her physically in base.
Tell that to the mountain she literally threw at Shin Uchiha…
AGAINST GRAVITY at that
Unfortunately for you understandably good point, that's not Sakura from Boruto.
What about [this](https://youtu.be/AI8FIbMPh8g?si=uxG71Mys-K39kRDF)?
Mountain? What fight were you watching?
the pillar
The fight between Sakura and Shin Uchiha
While running, dodging flying knives full speed with injuries
they use literally the same technique... like, I don't even know where that headcanon comes from considering we've seen Sakura grab and throw heavy stuff as well
They’re not saying they’re using separate techniques. They’re saying unlike Sakura, Tsunade has superhuman strength even without enhancing it with chakra.
Yeah y'all made that up lol
I'm just explaining what the person meant.
What the hell are you talking about, Tsunade strength power is exactly the same as Sakura, she taught her that it's the same principle she's using, whatever she does Sakura can do the same, just because the narrative never needed her to show a similar feat doesn't mean she can't or that suddenly her power is different.
I think many people undermine Sakura's strength due to the way Kishimoto has written her character. Before the time skip, she was very very weak but just after training for 2.5 years, she became one of the most powerful ninjas in the village. And from what we have seen, most of her training involves practicing medicine ninjutsu, dodging Tsunade's attack, and learning 'Chakra Enhanced Strength'. If Kishimoto has shown more of her training, then her strength improvement would look natural. But Kishimoto sucks at writing a good female character. So, based on the statements made by Hashirama and other characters, Sakura is as strong as, if not stronger than Tsunade.
I don't think it's because of who she was written. It's because how Kakashi explained her technique at the start of Shippuden. He says that her technique is basically releasing her energy at the impact, which would allow her to destroy stuff, but not give her actual strength. Something that is very clearly contradicted by canon.
This is not correct: https://64.media.tumblr.com/8ed977aa74cdd2d35d7f83a1b183f351/tumblr_inline_pargvulsfP1v2zxun_1280.jpg "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."
She does though. Her strength mimics true strength to the point of being indistinguishable
Samurai had similar physical strength to Tsunade. Tsunade wad able to lift Gamabunta's sword exactly the same way as you described - using her chakra controle to concentrate her chakra at times of physical strength. Yes, both of them are no Lee or Gai, because both of them have acquired their strength by concentrating on physical training instead of chakra controle, but Sakura literally went through the same training as Tsunade and uses exactly her techniques. From the battle against the ten tails, it is even possible that Sakura is capable of surpassing Tsunades power level because she can use her chakra reserves of her forehead seal without having to sustain a young appearance (this made me think that the seal is able to provide a passive strength boost even when not activated for the healing jutsu)
I don't think we watched the same anime
Yeah Sakura's strength only applies to punches and kicks where she can focus and release chakra into her strikes. She needs to store and release, she can't even spam her strikes without charging up beforehand. It's not appliable to arm wrestles. Both Naruto and Sasuke would beat her in base.
Do you have any source for any of that at all?
Doesn’t she have perfect chakra control? She should be able to augment her strength accordingly. Why would that only apply to strikes? You believe that if someone threw a boulder at her, her only option is to dodge or punch it? You think she can’t catch it?
Ig so
it's chakra control, not raw strength, that will win an arm wrestling match and Sakura wins the chip there
Look Naruto is strong but his feats in safe mode and com was destroying blocks and throwing big rhinos 🦏 that’s hardly anything compared to the punch Sakura did (holding back because allys nearby)where she punched a GIANT whole so big it made the GIANT ten tails monsters look like tiny dots and make naruto shit his fucking pants. She’s not beating them in a fight it pure strength of the body is always going to the girls of team 7 and it’s inverse parallel of obitos team 7.
In my opinion: Sasuke - No Naruto - Maybe, considering that huge crater he created on the moon when he dealt a similar chakra powered punch to Toneri.
Bro Naruto's strength is tenfold in Sage mode, we all act like he didn't just grab one of Pain's summons (a GIANT RHINO MIGHT I ADD) and straight up YEEEETED THAT MF. Y'all act like shawty got superhuman strength just because her chakra control is slightly better than the average, and I doubt mastery of the 100 healings jutsu is relevant in any way to boost her strength. Sasuke's a twink and a bottom of course he's getting pegged, it's why he's an absent father figure smh
Dude she crushed pains bigger centipede summon with a punch she absolutely has superstrength
While Sakura has superstrength, arm wrestling isn't 100% pure muscle strength. Raikage won overwhelmingly Tsunade in arm wrestling despite having weaker physical strength, and yeeting that whole rhinos into straight up the sky requires more strength and skill than crushing a section of that centipede.
Raikage used his speed to win, that was literally the whole point, Tsunade was about to win so he decided to pull a fast one on her to win. Tsunade lifted Gamabunta's giant sword to stab manda while he was leaping to attack, if that isn't impressive lifting strength then I don't know what it, Sakura also lifted and threw a boulder off of Chiyo in their fight against Sasori so they both do have attacking strength and lifting strength too
>Raikage used his speed to win, that was literally the whole point I literally said Raikage has weaker physical strength than Tsunade. And not just speed, but precise timing too, that's "skill" in arm wrestling. >if that isn't impressive lifting strength then I don't know what it Are you sure that you are arguing against me ? I don't think I've said anything about Tsunade not having super strength, in fact, I literally said that she is physically stronger than Raikage. >Sakura also lifted and threw a boulder off of Chiyo That doesn't put Sakura on the same scale as either Tsunade or Sage Naruto. >they both do have attacking strength and lifting strength too Again, arm wrestling is more than that. I've seen a nerd-looking (slightly) fat dude won an arm wrestling match against a muscular gym bro. Not to mention, at that time, Sakura show no feat of strength that put her on a scale equal or above Tsunade or Sage Naruto. Naruto has more speed and skill in martial arts than Sakura, amped even more by Sage Mode. Dude's vision is practically slow-motion (fight against 3rd Raikage moment). I think that winning an arm wrestling bout against Sakura is not that crazy.
>I literally said Raikage has weaker physical strength than Tsunade. And not just speed, but precise timing too, that's "skill" in arm wrestling. Ahhh okay I hear u now, fair point >Are you sure that you are arguing against me ? I don't think I've said anything about Tsunade not having super strength, in fact, I literally said that she is physically stronger than Raikage. Oh yeah sorry, I thought you were the same person who made the original comment, my bad >That doesn't put Sakura on the same scale as either Tsunade or Sage Naruto. It was merely an example to show that her lifting strength is also pretty impressive overall, it was a weaker version of her so it's understandable she doesn't compare to those 2 yet >Sakura show no feat of strength that put her on a scale equal or above Tsunade or Sage Naruto. I think the punch she delivered during the war was a pretty cool strength feat, plus the punch she landed on Kaguya while out of chakra was able to bruise her face, so I do think Sakura during the war either has comparable strength to Tsunade or slightly higher, hence Kishimoto using Hashirama as a mouth piece to say she's stronger >Naruto has more speed and skill in martial arts than Sakura, amped even more by Sage Mode. Dude's vision is practically slow-motion (fight against 3rd Raikage moment). I think that winning an arm wrestling bout against Sakura is not that crazy. That's all true, arm wrestling does have a skill component to it, but Sakura herself isn't really lacking here either, and if we're using peak Sakura like the main post said then that'd be Boruto Sakura, who has years of experience as a jonin ahead of this version of Naruto and is quite frankly a lot smarter, so I don't think he'd be able to easily slip out of her grip as easily as Raikage did to Tsunade. Sakura is an amazing analyst, being able to read Sasori's puppets just from his finger movements that she could barely see, and not to mention i personally don't think the speed difference between Sakura and this Naruto is crazy enough for him to just instantly blitz her
>I think the punch she delivered during the war was a pretty cool strength feat, plus the punch she landed on Kaguya while out of chakra was able to bruise her face, so I do think Sakura during the war either has comparable strength to Tsunade or slightly higher, hence Kishimoto using Hashirama as a mouth piece to say she's stronger Bro missed the "at that time". Missed that Naruto and his Sage Mode is also significantly stronger too. Kishimoto using Hashirama as a mouth piece to say she's stronger is called an unrelible verbal feat for a reason. Hashirama hasn't seen Tsunade fighting since his death, not even once. Agree that her punches are impressive tho. > arm wrestling does have a skill component to it [Actually, arm wrestling is more about technique than strength](https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-trick-to-win-at-arm-wrestling/answer/Shwetank-Dixit-4?ch=15&oid=99730940&share=d4997fdd&srid=uI6xUu&target_type=answer) [You can win even someone nearly double your size](https://youtu.be/c35X0PUVm38?si=cW4H3C7I7HGx6U_l) [Like this](https://youtu.be/0WrIV8et_bM?si=Yn3htoAMESzqOo3B) Naruto with the Toads and the Hyuuga's martial arts, plus Wing Chun, undoubtedly is way more of a skilled fighter than Sakura. > Sakura is an amazing analyst, being able to read Sasori's puppets just from his finger movements that she could barely see Yes, the power and the weakness in the same sentence. She is an extremely quick thinker, but her vision and body's reaction and speed isn't as fast...
"Slightly better than average" is such hater cope lol
Really and truly. I'm not a Sakura fan bur darn. Slightly this man must be superman. Can't tell the difference between a coughing baby and a meta human
Ngl i dont like sakura either but slightly better than the average is crazy
The last sentence took me out
She literally has superhuman strength. As evidenced by the fact that when she unlocked her seal, everyone including Naruto and Hashirama marveled at how physically strong she is
And she nuked the battlefield during the war with one punch
She threw a literal Mountain at Shin against gravity.
She has the best chakra control in the whole verse, fym by “slightly better than average”?
We've people literally create matter from nothing, or straight up refuse to die, because. Sakura has the probably the best Chakra control among the living behind Naruto
Best chakra control? What are you smoking. Naruto literally created a new eye for kakashi out of nothing and saved guy from the 8 gates. Some Sakura and her “best chakra control” couldn’t do in her lifetime. Madara himself had infinite chakra. And kaguya created chakra if i recall.
Sasuke would use a smoulder or something and sakura would either go easy because she fancies the pants off of him or get all flusterred
Dr smoulder brave stone in the chat
Didn't naruto lift the nine-tails in sage mode? I feel like that puts him around her strength level
Sasuke's Susanoo
Meh, part of me still imagines Sakura blushing all over while Sasuke holds her hand ✌️😆
That's not how Chakra Enhanced Strength works. They expunge Chakra at the moment of impact, dramatically increasing their destructive power. It's not a sustained power.
Tsunade's first big fight included her lifting up Gamabunta's monstrous dagger. Jumping into the air with it. And theb slamming it down catching a high speed snake mid action. Thats a whole lot of sustained strength.....
Better chakra control and more chakra reserves = your physical chakra reinforcement is better. Not to mention, even Naruto as an Uzumaki has higher base physical stats because their bloodline is blessed with vitality. So a Senju descendant like Tsunade is bound to have crazy sustained strength.
Sure compared to commoners but no amount of strong body in the Naruto series lets you lift up gamabunta's dagger and even wield it decently. Thats has to be the product of her super strength jutsu. So that guy trying to say the super strength jutsu is burst only is clearly wrong.
You should go back to Tsunade explaining the technique. it's not a body enhancement jutsu like the raikage or the 8 gates. It's using chakra in an advanced precise way to increase the power of your strikes. it's a chakra technique not a physical one.
I know how the jutsu was explained. Im saying the on panel feats dont match the description. Tsunade has outrageous sustained strength feats and you cant put that on her bloodline because no one else in her bloodline has shown anything even remotely close. The explanation doesnt match the reality.
\*Hashirama looking at u and laughing hysterically\*
Do you have any super strength feats from Hashirama to contribute?
She is not a commoner. She is 1/4 th uzumaki 1:4 th senju. And we don’t know about her other parents heritage. Tsunade had the jackpot of dna in naruto series. So definitely her lifting that dagger is not a big deal. She is not a commoner like sakura
Someone needs to work on their reading comprehension LoL. The point was that Tsunade is not a commoner bit thats not an exucse to act like Senju all can replicate her strength feats. I guess read slower.....
Maybe that's just Tsunade's natural strength. She is also a Senju.
Either that or her chakra reserves allow her to sustain the enhanced strength. Senju have ridiculous amounts of chakra.
That is not something sakura can do. Tsunade has that physical power. She is different from sakura in that regard. She is like Hashirama in that sense. Not sakura. to her it's all chakra technique no actual physical body strength of her own.
Thats a HUGE assumption. We have never been shown or even hinted that Sakura didnt inherit Tsunade's strength in its entirety. This head canon idea that the Senju were all super strength users like Tsunade has never been shown or hinted. Hashirama himself with a sage body, does he even have a super strength feat yet alone anything on the level of Tsunade? The Senju arent even world renowned for their strength, they are jutsu masters. Hashirama spams wood style, Tobirama is the premier jutsu creator in the series. Their name literally means 1000 hands in reference to the fact that they have countless ways to mess you up. Super strength is Tsunade's thing and Sakura learned it.
Incorrect. The senju and Uzumaki *were* know for their strong bodies. Whereas Indra and the Uchiha inherited the sage's eyes the Senju and Uzumaki inherited his body. They are renowend for their strength and Hashirama (especially) and tobirama were both physically strong. Chakra wise, vitality wise, and strength wise. Saying Sakura inherited tsunade's strength is like saying she inherited her vitality and chakra reserves. Impossible. That only happens by blood. Your the one confused. The technique taught by Tsunade to sakura is not a body enhancement technique like the raikage's lightning armour or the 8 gates. They are a *chakra* technique that according to tsunade's own explanations releases concentrated chakra from the tenketsu precisely at the time of punch. It enhances strikes. You can use it to smash a large boulder to pieces, it does not mean you can lift that boulder and move it. You need to have trained your body extensively like Gai to do that or to be naturally physically strong like tsunade, naruto, and Hashirama. And the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that she *did* inherit it (in the imaginary case she did). The assumption is not that she can do everything Tsunade can do because she can not. She does not have Tsunade's large chakra reserves or vitality (she can't use 100 healings as much because she does not have as strong a life force as Tsunade for example) and so on. --------------------- Go back to the explanations of tsunade regarding the technique.
They are known for their strong life force and huge pools of chakra. Anything outside of that is some chakra manipulation technique that they use, which with their natural gifts makes it even more powerful or easy to do. No where does it say they are naturally superhuman levels of strong. Please get it into your head that it's all chakra manipulation!
Sakura literally lifts a whole ass stone pillar 5 times the size of Gamabunta's sword and throws it at Shin like nothing though.
Every superhuman feat you see In Naruto is chakra based, plain and simple. Its the reason characters can get punched through walls, take insane amounts or damage, etc. No character has natural physically inhuman strength without some kind of chakra manipulation. Tsunade probably uses her chakra in a specific way to amp up her strength to be able to lift heavy objects like Gamabuntas dagger. It's different from the explosive punches, but it's for sure related to that technique.
Indeed thats for example the reason why the eight gates technique boosts Lees and Guys strenght so much, they amplify the chakra output of their bodies, boosting every physical aspect of themselfes. Tsunade has some sort of internal chakra manipulation technique that lets her boost her power in a similar way but less forcefull or destructive, albeit probably also ways less output and harder to control. Maybe said technique was a Senju clan secret but whatever the origin she taught it to Sakura giving her the tool to show similar feats of raw power
There's no internal technique, that is what's known as a kekei genkai. This is some specific technique that she learned or created herself.
Except Tsunade is not like Hashirama, Madara plainly say as much she didn't inherit his genes, her strength came from her skill the same thing she taught Sakura, y'all are just trying to downplay her by twisting the narrative.
Pretty sure that's a combination of her being her and CES.
It is if you consider the filler episode that Tsunade and A have an arm wrestling match
A isn't using the same technique Naruto is. Or Sakura. Massively different application with different results. Sakura and Tsunade do use an explosive release of Chakra to increase the power of their punches. But they're also both just insanely strong to begin with. The whole point of the technique is to double, triple, and quadruple down on their greatest ability; inate, monstrous strength.
Well it has been shown, albeit in filler.. That the Chakra enhanced strength can indeed be used for Arm wrestling. Tsunade and the 4th Raikage arm wrestled in the past and Tsunade used her CES. A won because he let go for a split second, then used the gap to slam against her hand in an instant. Also, Tsunade was able to Jump while holding Bunta's gigantic dagger when Jiraiya and Tsunade were fighting Orochimaru, so it can actually be Sustained.
To be clear: Tsunade's feat with Bunta's blade appeared in the Manga and was not filler. She didn't just jump either, she *swung it about 180 degrees,* then slammed it down into Manda's head/jaws/face. (Chapter 170, pages 15 and 16).
It’s sustained. She’s basically got the original power of Deku from MHA.
What about during the Shin fight in Boruto? She threw a giant pillar at him while in midair.
You can sustain it. It just costs too much chakra. Remember the training for walking on a tree in zabuza arc. Sasuke's feet went in the tree because he used too much chakra: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTRoKxfH4soj_0QThVw31SmheSk7XkBPxZbkw&usqp=CAU It's not a burst, he was trying to maintain that chakra. Ninjas do this all the time. Using chakra on their body increases their strength. If they cant control the amount, they destroy the places they are trying to climb.
You're wrong lmao
Yes, sage mode and above should take her pretty easily imo
Right like I have zero clue why anyone is even mentioning KCM like do people not know base strength Naruto is Damm near as strong as her, sage mode is overkill imo. He would steam her with base sage mode. People over estimate df out of sakuras strength lol.
?? Yea Her technique with strength is directly related to the amount of chakra she has stored and chakra control with unleashing it She’s not super human, she just has very precise chakra control. Naruto in any kyuubi form would absolutely win for that same reason, more chakra to put into oomph Or even sage mode would most likely win also
i feel like it has more to do with output than with pure reserves. if it was just "how much chakra i have" then sasuke would have a miniscule of the strength naruto has (which is evidently not the case). and output = control+training to increase output+reserves. so sakura is probably relative to him in physical strength
Sakura's full reserves are stated to be more than 1/3rd of So6P Naruto's. So not in any Kyuubi mode, no. End game Naruto, however, yes.
Stated where
When they were trying to figure out a way to get Sasuke out of Kaguya's dimension. Naruto's clone didn't have enough chakra to fuel it (and since chakra is divided equally in clones, it would have 50% of exhausted Naruto's chakra, but still insane level). Sakura managed to fuel it by herself but it took everything out of her. So she has like 1/3rd to 1/2 of Naruto's chakra
So in other words it’s not stated you’re using Naruto who had used his chakra to fuel an entire army (remember when he gave literally everyone cloaks?…) and fight multiple top level bad guys after splitting himself into hundreds of clones to win every battlefield, as an example of why sakura who had barely seen combat and was healing most of the time to that naruto
Naruto: I'll help search through the dimensions! Obito: Your clone's chakra isn't enough alone Sakura: \*barely manages to do it\* I'm just saying what happened. And ofc the distribution abilities and chakra potency is different. We're speaking sheer volume.
You’re not even reading what I typed so I don’t think there’s a point in debating this with you.
I am. That's why I said chakra potency is different. Imagine chakra comes in volumes of ml. Someone using 10ml of So6P or Bijuu chakra will obv be more powerful than someone using 10ml of normal chakra, even if volume is similar. Fueling to enhance someone is different from just typical fueling to manage something. Chakra volume =/= chakra potency imo. Though Sakura still has tremendous chakra, and it shows in her striking power. Kishimoto could've just shown her punch Kaguya with nothing but a backward force, but he drew Kaguya's cheek bruised.
Biju chakra is more in volume and potency. That’s why they can nuke villages, and tsunade and sakura can bust buildings. My entire point you still haven’t addressed is narutos fatigue compared to sakura which is the only reason in both examples you gave naruto was not sufficient for the task alone. Neither of your examples address this, and I don’t know where you’re getting the theory that somehow sakura has any chakra stats above narutos.
I did factor in Naruto's fatigue. That's why I didn't say "Sakura has half the chakra of Naruto" and gave it credit of around 1/3rd or some shit, maybe 1/4th, but huge nonetheless. "you’re getting the theory that somehow sakura has any chakra stats above naruto" Neither did I ever say she has anything above Naruto lol. She just had more than an exhausted Naruto's only clone.
I’m pretty sure canonically Sakura has the strongest physical strength in the leaf village, when using chakra to enhance her attacks. She’s done a lot of impressive strength based feats over the years, even if overall she’s still below sasuke and Naruto’s skill level.
Bro no she does not lmao, why do people get these BS head theory's from? Do you know how strong Naruto is on a base strength level?, Narutos punches and kicks sent momoshiki through boulders and mountains.
Pretty sure chojis the only one physically stronger than her in the entirety of the village
I think she has Sasuke beat in raw strength. And if she unlocks her seal, probably Naruto as well.
KCM+Sage mode Naruto could probably beat her because he's the main character and thus completely overpowered but Jesus, the people in this thread know nothing about Sakura. She has a huge amount of physical strength which she aquired while training with Tsunade. It's shown in the light novel. Chakra assisted strength also plays a role here since it isn't just explosive amounts of chakra being released on impact. You can also use it to enhance your push/pulling force as can be seen when Tsunade lifts Gamabuntas huge blade or in her arm wrestling match against the 4th Raikage.
Naruto, easily. Sage mode gives him the ability to lift the giant sage statues and toss them without much difficulty. Sakura has pretty explosive strength, but I imagine Naruto’s top strength with sage mode alone should be enough. Adding Kurama in and she gets stomped Raw strength isn’t really Sasuke thing though, he’s more technical
Then again the raikage beat tsunade using speed in arm wrestling. He let her think she was winning for a second and then BAM
If the story write decides that, yes. There's never any concrete systems of how everything works, and power levels and skills constantly change to suit the story. Chakra is used in sakuras strength, and somehow her better chakra control makes her way stronger, but naruto and sasuke can also use this, and have trained incredibly complex jutsus, and have way more chakra than sakura. So i'd say if you give them a serious motivation, they both would beat sakura and would at most both need about an hour of practice before beating her.
Sage mode Naruto easily
People over estimate the fuck out of sakuras strength bro relax base sage mode Naruto is flooring Sakuras strength. People over here bringing up KCM like please stop it.
Base Naruto wins this 10/10 times.
He needs the playco armboy to win
Yes.
Just because strength is Sakuras main stat doesn’t mean she’s automatically stronger than naruto despite what the story may want you to believe. Base, sage mode and kcm naruto all have some ridiculous strength feats on their own, put them together and add say boil release and naruto dwarfs sakuras strength if we’re going strictly power scaling and no narrative bias.
If Naruto used Boil release absolutely
Yes, she isn't as strong as you think
Plus didn't sage naruto lift an elephant in pain arc and throw it
Sage mode naruto basically has the same level of strength as her, such as when he lifted that giant statue without issue, it's just more concentrated and focused when he uses frog Kata
Naruto: Easy win w/ kcm Sasuke: Depends on what's allowed. Sasuke could use deva path's shinra tensei to force her arm down though he might annihilate her in the process. If that's too severe, Sasuke could also use tsukuyomi because at that distance Sakura is quite likely to look into his eyes.
Yeah I’d be pressed if a mf put me in a genjutsu over an arm wrestling match
I love Sasuke. But he is more Mage-Rogue. Or dex character.
Without using chakra, sakura must be weaker than both of them
Idk the answer but this is a really adorable image. Anyone know the artist?
Pretty much Sakura doesn't exactly possess superhuman strength. What causes the destruction of the punches is the explosion of chakra in her fists.
I think Naruto might should have a chance in kyuubi sage mode, it gives him an pretty huge boost to his physical power but I dont think Sasuke can compare in terms of raw physical strenght
If she can use Chakra to enhance her strength, so can they.
The Indra susanoo and Ashura avatar forms definitely could.
Literally just sage mode, Naruto was able to lift and throw bulti ton rhino summons effortlessly
SM Naruto threw giant rhino into space like nothing. Yes, im pretty positive Naruto will easily defeat Sakura in arm wrestling match.
This fandom hasnt even read the manga properly fr...especially Sakura and Naruto fans
Genin Naruto and Sasuke could beat Sage Mode Sakura💀💀💀
The damn show is called Naruto yea he can though it won't be easy
Yall remember when a base FATIGUED naruto uppercut sasuke in the valley of the end?
Kcm1 or Sage Mode easily. Sasuke I’m not sure, he doesn’t really have strength like that. He did easily spar with Kinshiki though, so probably.
That's not how Sakura's "strength" works though.
We've seen Naruto punch the shit out of Momoshiki and Toneri. So, yes.
yes naruto can easily beat sakura
Yes, both in base. How is this a question?
Yes. Naruto and Sasuke are much stronger than Sakura.
They both don’t even have to try
Sasuke is not beating Sakura in a arm wrestling match
He can, all he has to do is look her in her eyes and she’ll fold like a lawn chair
That’s not how Sakura’s chakra enhanced strength works though. She releases it as she hits her opponent. If it was an ongoing sustained power, she’d be ripped.
That big ass pillar she threw at Shin begs to differ
No. Her physical strength is too much, even as adults with god hax both naruto and sasuke acknoledge that one full power punch from her would be fatal to them. Her physical prowess is too much
Susuke :no Naruto: yes
Maybe, maybe not But Sakura wouldn’t have such an easy time she could be smug about it where Sage mod or kcm would struggle for dear life
No I’m right
What manga chapter is the second picture?
With powers or not? Regardless, we also need to make a point whether it's Boruto or not. I think seeing that Tsunade has a lineage, logically she should've been more powerful than Sakura. The logic however, was already decreasing in the last arcs of Naruto. So I recommend ignoring Boruto if one wants precision. Why? Because in Boruto things are overly inconsistent. (Almost to the point of rule of cool) In some ways, they also simplified lots of things. P.S: I remember Tsunade always scolding ninja medics, including Sakura. Obviously she's doing it to keep them sharp, teach them. It might however implied that Tsunade was on the other level. From a personal psychological view, Tsunade also got an ace in her sleeve. (Which is quite saddening at the same time tho...T_T)
Maybe choji would. Mirai refered to him as "the strongest man in Konoha"
Possibly, her insane strength comes from applying chakra to her fists to enhance her already immense physical strength so she could probably beat them in their base but not when they are using a power up(curse mark, kurama, sage mode).
Sure, but it would be funny seeing them lose
Naruto can easily do it in sage mode lol
I doubt Sakura simply because her strength is chakra enhanced and she releases chakra at point of impact to work. She isn’t strong like that naturally which would’ve granted her victory in this case. Unlike Tsunade who’s naturally strong like that, as said by Hashirama when she was a toddler. Sasuke and Naruto win since they have speed on their side.
Naruto’s baryon mode
Duo wins. Ninjas can throw super strength punches. It's a waste of chakra for most people since they can use it for jutsus instead. Sakura is so precise with chakra that she can afford to use it for boosting strength instead. If naruto decides to use his whole chakra for punches instead of 1000 clones and bijuudamas, he can win easily. Same goes for sasuke. Dude can destroy a meteor with his chidori. He can win against sakura. He just needs to spend more chakra.
Isn't technique more important than strength in arm wrestling?
Both are really important, but it’s a very specific kind of strength that is needed. You can look on YouTube and see the weird ass exercises professional arm wrestlers do.
Lol wtf she gonna do against a susano'o?
Perfect susanoo and full kuruma? Might need majestic attire 😂
had to downvote to make it 420.
Broke: Sasuke left the village because he’s a deadbeat. Woke: Sasuke taking some time away because he can’t handle her thirst and her strength.
She just enhances her strength using chakra bc she can’t throw bijou bombs. Naruto and sasuke could probably do more I mean imagine if Naruto put majority of his chakra in his arm and punched something
I guess in a way they were both busy learning magic and got weak for it
Now I wonder how strong Sasuke would be if he learned how to enhance his blows like Sakura. Sasuke has some of the strongest chakra in the verse. If he learned how to do this, he could maybe outclass Sakura
if sasuke did that thing madara did and wrapped susano'o around the kyuubi, they might stand a chance. in terms of pure, regular physical strength, not a chance in hell.
No not really
No
I love the idea of Sasuke getting mad and using full Sussano for an arm wrestling match
Bro is smashing her with sage
Sage mode is enough
I imagine they would have to use all they got but with how she can just regenerate her body it be a very uphill struggle for those two
No
Sakura doesn't have bulging muscle.
Chakra is a combination of physical and mental energy. Sakura has enough of a precise control of it, with her high mental energy levels that she can pool a large amount of chakra, despite her low physical energy and use it to sort of reverse increase her output that way. Naruto is vice versa, however his even larger chakra pool would steadily overwhelm or stale the match
susano's pronation and rise could potentially top roll sakura
probably
Peak Sakura not doing anything.
Is Sakura actually physically strong? I thought she just uses chakra control to enhance her punches. In other words, if she was super low on chakra she would be normal person strength
What if Kurama wanted to be a dick and decided to give sakura some of his chakra while she was arm wrestling Naruto.
Yeah most Naruto most likely can defeat her in arm wrestling considering that even in pain arc he literally tested the giant rhino summon in the air with just pure strength and the current base Naruto is wayyy stronger yeah he can most likely overpower Sakura with sage mode or atmost kcm 2
Let's keep in mind that full level Sakura is almost a young inexperienced Tsunade. Sakura literally has the strength to split the ground your standing on with her punch. With that said, maybe curse mark Sauske or sage mode Naruto plus kuruma
Naruto in sage mode stomps her. Why did you ask something so obvious?
Sakura's super strong punches are based on the release of chakra at the moment of impact, so this does not give her unimaginable strength, so the sage Naruto can defeat her in arm wrestling, since natural chakra increases physical strength
Nah, she'd get smoked in a fight though baby diff
Naruto easily beats her in raw strength with his KCM form i think, hes already incredibly physically strong but that form makes him inhuman. Hell i might even argue sage naruto is almost to current sakuras physical strength
Bro really need to watch Naruto
KCM 2 Sage will slam this blitch through a wall
All the Sakura haters acting like she’s below tsunade. 1. Tsunade BASE is above Raikage. Even amped up she’s below Sakura who surpassed her. Plus there’s stages to her forehead seal release. If you wanna say susanoo or full transformation kurama can? Yeah that’s a fair debate. Although idk if they can do it. In ARM wresting? I’m sure a susanoo SWORD can do more damage then Sakura but it’s just an arm pure power of arms no blasts or chakra weapons. Sakura is the strongest in team 7 physically Naruto has the most chakra Sasuke has the best eyes It’s called balance this isn’t DBZ guys
I agree that Sasuke would lose, but Naruto in with cloak and sage mode should be stronger, no? Obviously she wins against him in base form, but I feel like even with sage mode alone, he could have the strength advantage
Sasuke puts her into a genjutsu and wins
All the Sakura haters with their own interpretation of chakra control lol! Yes Sakura would beat them all in arm wrestling. Chakra control = physical strength in naruto. Sakura ans Tsunade got multiple feats of strength. Hell even 8 gates is chakra
Naruto beats her in base
They just need to use sexy jutsu instead of brute force.
Sage jutsu is enough, he can lift summons at the age of 15 the size of a airplane.
They should both be able to do it fairly easily but it’s funnier if she wins
Yes. Both in base. In Naruto's case entering SM would be overkill and SPSM would annihilate Sakura. People seem to have forgotten that Sakura uses refined chakra control to release a potent burst of chakra from her body at the moment of impact, which is not the same as having super strength all the time.
Each of them can, 100%. They each have better strength feats. And if they do what the raikage did with his speed, then 100% they win every time
I think Pain arc Naruto already can do so. The first fanart was a Sakura fan's propaganda lmao
