The only one of Naruto's current powers that doesn't seem to build off anything we've seen him do before is the healing thing. Everything he's done to combat Madara is based on the skills he's gained over the course of the series.

Right now Sasuke's powers are pretty much a complete unknown. The exact nature of his teleportation/super speed/ability to move things is up in the air.

On the topic of Sakura, I feel like Kishi's building to something. So far she's the only one whose powers are completely derived from the one who trained her. She seems to be accepting that she's more suited to play a supporting role for Naruto and Sasuke, but the question is how she will do so. While she doesn't have the naturally high chakra levels of her teammates, she does have the best chakra control, and has been storing chakra for years. With Sasuke and Naruto using different aspects of the Sage's powers, maybe Sakura will be the one to use his tools.
