Sakura vs Shin

-Ninjutsu- Edge: For offensive, it depends on the terrain. If Shin has plenty of helpful objects at his disposal he'd have the edge due to Object Manipulation. '''If not, Sakura does for her Enhanced Strength. For defense''', Shin has only used his teleportation to escape. He's never used it defensively even though it's shown to be fast. It could be argued he could use the objects to defend himself, thus it would go back the terrain being a factor. But I still don't think it would compare to Sakura's advance healing, Strength of a Hundred. For defense, the edge goes to Sakura.

-Genjutsu- Edge: Stalemate. Both have shown no Genjutsu techniques. Sakura broke free from an A Rank Genjutsu as a Genin. Shin has a large quantity of Sharingan which are known for their Genjutsu capabilities.

-Taijutsu- Edge: Shin. He showed he was superior in Taijutsu. He dodged many of her attacks and landed plenty of hits against her. However,what kept her in it was her durability and her enhanced strength gained by Ninjutsu. But in pure Taijutsu skill, his is superior.

-Strength- Edge: '''With Ninjutsu, Sakura. Without it, Shin.''' For obvious reasons.

-Speed- Edge: Stalemate. Looking at their fight, neither was superior to the other.

-Stamina- Edge: Unknown. Shin didn't show case ever being tired, only hurt. So his reserves limitations have yet to be seen.

-Durability- Edge: Sakura. Sakura has tanked far worst than what Shin has tanked.

-Intelligence- Edge: Shin. He showed tremendous intelligence to the point he harmed two of the most op characters of the series using strategy. If the roles were reversed, I doubt Sakura could manage that against them while they were serious.

Scenario: Sakura and Shin will meet upon the battlefield once more. Shin will probably make the opening move, by tossing an object at her. Sakura will likely deflect it with a kunai. They'll probably charge at each other and fight hand to hand like they did before. Shin will dodge multiple of her strikes and hit her a few times, but the strikes won't affect her too much. Shin will then rely on his tools and start launching the tools he has at her. As she did before, Sakura will likely retreat and dodge them. Shin will chase after her. Sakura if she can, will break apart large structures to throw at Shin. Shin might be hit, but as he shown before, it would be futile. Shin, will land a clean hit on Sakura, but this time Sasuke won't be here to save her from the next strike. As she sits there, and Shin launches his tools at her, she is unable to dodge them and takes multiple hits. However, she isn't dead. She activated her Strength of a Hundred regen. Sakura will punch the ground causing great distractions. She get's close to Shin and goes heads with him once more. She stays pressed on him and Shin can only dodge in hopes she does not land a fatal blow. Sakura finally sees the path to victory. Using her foot, she stomps the ground with immense strength to cause Shin to lose his footing. She strikes him in that moment. She takes the victory.

All in all, these two are just about even. But the Enhanced Strength has proven to be deadly against Shin. With her healing, she was able to eventually get that one hit needed to end him. Shin's chance of winning this, is killing her before she can activate it. But he's already shown he cannot do that. If Sasuke had not interfered, it would of been highly likely Sakura would have responded with Strength of a Hundred. In this fight, it honestly came down to Sakura's ability to heal. Things would be different if she couldn't. Now, if Shin had a terrain of objects at his disposal, the ending of the fight would of been different.
