Which is a bit of a recurring theme with Sakura. Sure healing and strength is really useful, but in a world where many people have strange jutsu with special effects, it's hard to see how she'd win other than by trying to land the first punch. And while in some fights getting the first punch is conceivable (because i think we've had a few debates where i argued that she could first-hit people), i tend to value versatility more (since more versatile = more ways to win, and more ways to win = greater odds of meeting any one criteria).
