Using it without the aid of the pill is a feat much more difficult, so that even Choza was amazed when Choji did it during the war, and if I recall correctly he (Choza) said that he himself was not able to do that. And both Choza and Choji were full fledged ninja, trained in a difficult time and whose abilities were actually honed in the battlefield.

Chocho was raised during a period of global peace, so much that it was even stated that ninja are not so much needed anymore, and from what we saw both in this episode and in the last chapter of Naruto she basically don't care about her training. It's this the reason why it feels much more ridiculous. Said so, she may very well be a genius, but up to now she didn't show anything to make me think so. And have you noticed a pattern in this? Choza, who was born in a more violent period than Choji, wasn't able to perform the feat his son performed, who had a less violent life, and wasn't even as old as him.

So it shows that surving during war periods is not the real reason a shinobi becomes powerful, I think it's more on about potentiel. War in the shinobi world, forces a shinobi to bring out the peak of their potentiel out, but that doesn't mean that a shinibi without experiencing war can't bring the same potentiel, he just has to train that much harder. Like take Orochimaru teaching Sasuke for example, Orochimaru himself comfirmed that Sasuke has more potentiel than the War Shinobi, Uchiha Madara has. And he's still far away to reach it.

So, basically Chocho and Choji are geniuses(Chocho proved to be a genius by showing how she can perform these special secret clan jutsus) just like alot of the new generation, and not because they were suddenly born out of someone, but from geniuses themselves(though it doesn't matter if a genius isn't born from another genius) You're getting the picture right?

Yeah, true her butterfly mode is not perfect, but it is still a very difficult jutsu It's a difficult jutsu indeed, as Chocho herself proved that she can only make the appearence part of the jutsu, which is by all rights, and utter waste of chakra.

In Sarada's case is much more difficult to say, first because Sasuke and Obito had the two-tomoe sharingan at her age, while she still has only one tomoe, and second because we know that the development of the sharingan has much to do with the realm of the feelings.
