Would that result in death by nosebleed, or death by pissed off Ran?
Eastern
The test was all about how they handle obstacles- and the final question is (even though not explicitly asked): "will you give up or continue the mission even if you have to risk everything?" - the lack of skills (for example, Naruto) is something that could be addressed later, attitude cannot.

Hmm, think Sakura is having a internal crisis.
Something is awakening within Sakura. Her childhood friendship with Ino and all those flower metaphors are taking on new meaning.
I think that is something difficult she is the chakra sensor IT would be like describing color to someone Born blind
Fixed, thanks!
I'll leave that open to interpretation. Truth is, I had already written it to look like a normal PoV until Ran flipped about the [Heal Bite] when I got to that part.
I get the point of the test, but you're still handwaving their lack of skills when that's a perfectly valid thing to test them about at the same time. And the Shimada are all about efficiency
For me, it was Rochy with a red cap, a mustache and a duck-watergun-rocket at his back.
Konoha says they have the Forest of Death.

Feel like this is an inaccurate self-assessment.
Why would you want to? That'd be a waste of your suffering.
Are you suicidal?
Definitely suicidal, actively so.
I think she is being sarcastic... unless you were also being sarcastic? It is hard to tell on the internet
That it is, as I was not. Ty for pointing that out.I think she is being sarcastic... unless you were also being sarcastic? It is hard to tell on the internet
He's courting death.
Didn't even have the decency to survive the test so Ran could get her hands on him.
Fixed, thanks! In my defense, it was a long chapter...
Intentional, yep. Thanks anyway!
You could simply put the emphasis on what little canon shows us of her: her sensor synthesia shlick, her interest in medicine/science, and how deep her obsession(s) can run?
Sai is a meat dildo.
I don't remember which story, but I do recall reading a Sakura focused post-698 (pretty sure it cut 699 and 700 both out) that actually addresses this and Ino admitting it's a bit of a kink for her. Like explicitly says that men with mental issues are a major turn on for her and that she likes pretty boys so Sai and Sasuke were like catnip for her.
Here is the thing though, Sakura has way worse mental issues than Sai or Sasuke. She has strong enough mental issues to actually overcome Ino's clan techniques. PTSD and Sociopathic behavior are kind of small potatoes to a split personality that has seemingly no origin.
If we're gonna go there - how about we address the fact that Ino is by all appearances the heiress of the Yamanaka clan and has no younger siblings so by that logic her crush on Sasuke was never going to go anywhere and she knew it.
the Uzumaki had a shitton of bloodline abilities. As shown by Karin. Some also ad Uzumaki tenasity/massive chakra pool to it that Karin doesn't really seem to have. But Naruto inherited squat, exept for posibly the enhanced stamina/chakra pool...
The only thing that would be, by definition, a bloodline ability is Karin's healing ability. The chains are more than likely secret techniques/teachings that Karin was able to recreate in some form or fashion, likely having had incomplete instruction from her mother or simply reconstructed based on stories and accounts she had access to while working for Orochimaru.
The Heal Bite as you call it was definitely something that Karin's mother had and it's overuse is canonically what killed her.Neither of the three abilities in question [Adamantine Sealing Chains], [Heal Bite] and [Mind's Eye of the Kagura] are classified as Kekkei Genkai in the wiki, with Heal Bite not being even a hiden (secret technique) Then again it also claims that Karin 'awakens' her chains during the Fourth Shinobi War, which is both contradictory (you can't 'awaken' a hidden technique, only a bloodline limit) and patently untrue (she first used the chains against Suigetsu during a flashback of the three-year timeskip, way before the foundation of the group Taka.)
Neither [Heal Bite] nor [Mind's Eye of the Kagura] are ever shown by anyone else, so they could be considered her personal techniques. Though I believe the part about Uzumama dying for [Heal Bite] overuse was canon, it's been way too long for me to say anything for sure without prior research. Which I'm feeling too lazy to do ATM
[Adamantine Sealing Chains]... I coud've sworn there was a redhead somewhere in the filler chapters who used something suspiciously similar, which led to a lot of speculation back in the day. If someone disconnected from the clan can spontaneously learn how to do it, then it's not a secret techniquea but a bloodline limit.
As far as Ran is concerned, the three of them are Kekkei Genkai and her Karin is bullshit.
This sounds a lot like fanon.
