All she did was find an antidote to a potent poison. While it does show she's smart, it does not mean that she out-smarted anyone especially if the person in question wasn't even present. So, Katsuyu will fight for Sakura. Alright.It won't be Sakura vs Lee, instead it will be Katsuyu vs Lee

It's her presence of mind that will out-smart Lee. I'm confident enough that Sakura, when compared to Lee, is more likely to be in observation, because if the question in reversed, do you think Lee can out-smart Sakura? Obviously not. Sakura did out-smart Sasori; How else do you think the Third Kazekage puppet was destroyed? Sakura manipulated Sasori from the very beginning of the fight. He had no knowledge of her designing a antidote to his poison, and then once the opportunity presented itself, Sakura used it to trick him into thinking she was dead. Educate yourself in both combatants before informing me what is and isn't out-smarting someone, especially when you state things as fact. It can be tedious.

Durability is a skill in its own for Katsuyu. Her physical make-up renders her as the most resilient summon shown. So long as Sakura is protected by Lee's barrage of attacks, she can exaust him long enough for her, not Katsuyu, to deliver the final blow.
