I'm arguing that they are similar in power, yet Sarada can use it more easily since it requires no seals (and in that respect superior to Chidori) and no preparation (in that respect superior to Rasengan, which still needs to be formed). her Sharingan means that she solves the biggest problem with Chakra strength, namely that it's horrible to apply. The biggest problem with Sakura isn't her power, it's that she has no real way to apply it since she lacks the supportive jutsu to really get close reliably.

I'm arguing that people systematically underestimate the power of this strength, as it's been demonstrated clearly that it's comparable to the other two flashy jutsu. Yet time and again people go "it's easy cuz rasengan", and yet if strength is brought up, it's instantly dismissed.

Which is why i'm not talking about it, since it's pointless. I'm using the water tower example because it both involved base jutsu and a clear demonstration of their strenghts, the same way i use Sakura's punch to the ground against Kakashi in the second bell test as a clear example where she used minimal effort to get a major result. The same way i use Sarada's one punch in the Chunin exams as a comparison to show that power wise, Sarada isn't lagging behind.

Boruto has more flashy jutsu. That's true. But in a 1v1, Sarada would hold her ground.

He would be dead. Not sure what you're aiming at here. Sasuke threw Indra's arrow because he wanted to overpower Naruto. He had already seen Chidori etc's use against Naruto and knew that nothing short of an all-out attack would hurt Naruto. In the end, the combined power of their attacks still didn't kill either. As long as Naruto has chakra, he basically won't die.
