She touches the right point and she can shut down sakura's chakra amped punches. I think she is also skillful enough to avoid getting one shotted before she does. I don't think the seal on sakura's forehead is at all comparable to a jinchuriki. Naruto couldn't use his own chakra, but the ninetails was a separate entity who's chakra wasn't blocked and was thus able to force chakra through naruto's sealed tenketsu. I'm pretty sure the yinseal requires the user to activate it like a jutsu, so if sakura's chakra is sealed, she wouldn't be able to mould the chakra necessary to release the seal. Even if she could, then its just round 2.

I think Hinata surpassed Tsunade due to greater natural talent in chakra control plus Tsunade being her master. she caught up quickly as a result. The only thing Tsunade has over her is quantity of battle experience and experience in general, but Sakura has been gaining lots of quality experience and I think is smarter than what many give her credit for in battle. But at the same time, Tsunade had to invent the mitotic regeneration while sakura learned it fairly quickly. Both are incredible feats but I think having to both invent a jutsu and master it is harder. We will have to see if Sakura can do something in the medical department that Tsunade could not, but right now I do think Sakura overall has surpassed Tsunade. The gentle fist style puts any hyuuga above a normal taijutsu fighter, but Hinata's skill in using it is not that great. If it were neji no doubt he would block Sakura's chakra points before she could land a hit, but Hinata, please she doesn't have the ferocity or speed to do so. Hinata very very rarely has executed 64 palms technique successfully, and when she did, it had to be a slow moving worthlessness fodder. Sakura just hits the ground with one punch, that shockwave itself will blow Hinata away. Even if Hinata lands a few hits ,if they aren't at the fatal point, then Sakura also has her monstrous strength to tackle her down. When has Hinata shown some jonin level speed or actually has won against any weak fodder jonin ? Worst case Sakura uses her summon to melt Hinata.

Wow Hinata surpassing tsunade, that won't happen ever. She is a chunin to low jonin at the most, only in theory she can beat any jonin, practically she never will. Tsunade went up against Madara and all, Hinata had to be kept relevant by giving her hamura chakra and made her a descendant of hamura out of the blue. She would be ko'ed by Tsunade,Sakura etc
