Sakura's Mokuton and "Sharingan-Rivelling" Genjutsu is fucking absurd!
# # # # # #
Sakura possessing Mokuton and Sharingan-Rivelling Genjutsu (in Sakura-Centric Fan-Fictions) is such stupid shite when it's utterly divorced from the theme that as to why Hashirama possessed Mokuton and the Uchiha, Sharingan in canon. The former had it because, gasp, its Yang at its peak—as in Life. Yin, its counter-part, is about creating form from nothing. And guess who possesses Yin at its peak? What do ya know, it's the Uchiha Clan!
Unless you lot can't read to save your lives, you'd know that Hagoromo utilized it for the very first time through The Creation of All Things: with Yin, he created forms of beasts, and with Yang, he breathed life into them. That's how he created the Nine Tailed-Beasts in Naruto.
How do the Uchiha and Senju work? Uchiha create things out of nothing: Susanoo, Amaterasu, and Genjutsu are all peak Yin. Nothing even comes close to the Uchiha's use of Yin. Hashirama, Senju's mascot, can't create things out of nothing; so he breathes life into the earth, and from there his disney-princess routine is realized.
You know why he creates a forest? Oh no, it's almost as if the village he created is called Konoha, a village hidden in leaves! He's the metaphor for the very village whose foundation he laid. Who gave the idea for it? My goodness, it was Madara! How can this be? The manga's so fucking basic to understand? You don't say?! So Madara's imagination was taken to fruition by Hashirama? Gasps in horror! And the Valley of the End's schism, literally and figuratively, broke apart the village's ideology into two? No fucking way?!
Naruto is but a continuation of that ideal; and so is Sasuke. Naruto's entire arsenal is about harnessing Kurama's life-force, which is also capable of giving life to long-dead stumps (we were very literally shown that after his KCM training), and Sasuke holds absolute mastery over the Uchiha Clan's Jutsus (his arsenal is more than Obito's, Itachi's, and Madara's combined).
That's why the Uchiha are capable of messing with the tailed-beast's—heck, anyone's chakra as their Yin comes all the way from the God Tree's flower's Sharingan; and it's because of that Sharingan that they hold such great domain over the mind. "The Uchiha are so broken that it's bullshit, blah, blah, blah, and blah!" is a complete inability to grasp the basic themes of this manga. In fact, if I go all the way back to Indra and Ashura, the former governs the realm of imagination; and the latter, material. Is it a coincidence that Indra sought out a one-man ideological position against Indra's collective? Ideology springs from imagination, not what's already there in the material world; a change is felt in the abstract before it's given the garb of realization, a concrete shape. Good God, how hard is it to understand all of this?
What the fuck does Sakura do with that Mokuton? She sprouts great oaks out of her arse and beats men up bitch-girl-boss style, but what does it do thematically? What does her Sharingan-Rivelling Genjutsu do beyond her fandom's tedious, trashy, and terribly conceived power-fantasy to best Sasuke? Both of these accomplish nothing in the Naruto-verse; and that's the problem with Sakura, not a problem: she doesn't, no matter how "straining my arse enough to pass gas" hard you try, fit into any main theme. Unless you don't mitigate this fucking elephant in the room, create something from scratch for her, and integrate that effectively into the plot, your entire endeavor is just a desperate attempt to attack the author; and the irony of the matter is that your attempt is structurally just poor. So what are you attacking when you can't even fix this one theme in the manga in any manner whatsoever? Stop being such fucking arseholes about this and sit yourselves down.
Long story short, my point is this: write all the power-fantasies you want; shift Sakura from Uchiha pole to pole and then to the Senju poles, and then, maybe to other poles, because that's always been a source of this fandom's greatest heartache; or make her grow out a dozen types of Sharingans from her orifices; but don't pretend that you're fixing the manga when this theme in particular is pretty much iron-clad in regard to what it set out to achieve. You didn't like it? Too fucking bad, because there's nothing to fix as this theme was never broken.
Goodness ...
