legion, its true she took out a lot of his fodder puppets but without sakura she would have been 1 shotted against the puppet of the kazekage.

and it was only initially that sakura didn't have the reflexes, chiyo specifically stated she was evolving and over time chiyo had less and less involvement in the control of sakura
