Her defeating the clones was necessarily an impressive feat nor am I making it that way. But, considering Naruto needed to use his mode to fight them, I'm going to say they aren't just kids. Anyway, the bigger feat was her going toe to toe with Shin despite him having the Mangekyo Sharingan. The fact she could keep up with him proves that if he didn't have the Mangekyo, she'd probably defeat him in close combat and have an easier time to land a chakra-enhanced punch. Sakura's movements throughout the battle proves her speed can match Kakashi. She not only effectively dodged Shin's fast moving blade-made shuriken, but countered by throwing a large rock pillar at him and placed explosive tags without being noticed until the last minute. Not having the Sharingan's precognition really weakens him compared to before. Sure he may have more chakra reserves to rely on now, but clearly we know she has a lot of chakra anyway thanks to her seal. Katsuyu can distract Kakashi so Sakura can land a hit. She doesn't even really need to directly strike him to harm him.
