You guys are forgetting how much azula has learned over time... To me Sakura hasent matured at all... still whiney. And sakura is more about direct attack and azula will use plans and tactics to find a way to take sakura down.
Sakura lol

avatar characters do not have the speed to keep up with naruto characters. she can blitz azula easily.

Sakura Stomps
Thing is Azula's speed and reflex's, while impressive, are just above or at what a genin would have in naruto at best. And while comet boost is also impressive, Sakura can generally tank/avoid that level of power and heal herself if it comes to it.
Sakura is actually pretty challenging to beat outside of her series now that I think about it..
Sakura Stomps
Sakura would be a monster in the avatar top tier easily while at the same time in her own universe she is mostly fodder/useless when compared to the rest of the cast or other team 7 members like Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi.

Sakura pretty easily
Azula would murder Sakura. She casually shoots lightning, and is the better hand to hand combatant. When has Sakura moved at lightning speeds, let alone been the better H2H fighter? Also, isnt Sakura now an adult?
If we look at Sakura even at 16, she gets burned and turned into ash by the superior intellect and fighting abilities that Azula has. She has kill intent.
Sakura does hit alot harder, but are you guys forgetting that Sakura has no resistances to flames specially blue flames. Sakura isnt a genius at combat and Earthbenders have launched and tried one shotting Azula and it doesnt work. Azula also has the ability to fly and that gives her leverage.
Azula wins

Sakura can throw an exploding shuriken at Azula that she has zero hope of dodging. And no, Azula isn't going to tag Sakura. Sakura is definitely durable enough to tank some flames and heal herself, but she'll close that gap between her and Azula much, much faster than Azula expects.
As for being the better hand to hand combatant, it's not even debatable that goes to Sakura. The martial arts that she had to learn in the beginning of her series was vastly superior to anything that Azula has. If Azula gets in close to go blow for blow, then Sakura will end her life.
Azula casually can dodge lighting and can bend the fire in the explosion or at the very least just move away. Sakura doesnt have throwing speeds at those levels. Also what Sakura? Are we talking about Boruto mother Sakura or 12 or 16 year old Sakura?
Durable enough to tank some flames? Blue flames? Blue flames that can melt protein and carbon in seconds? Your statement when it comes to hand to hand combat, is a fallacy. Sakura isnt a fighting prodigy, and she has never shown to be a outstanding h2h fighter at all. Mean while Azula has, and is a h2h prodigy. What exact training are you talking about? What hand to hand experience does Sakura have at 16 that shows she would be a better fighter, when we literally see Azula specifically specialize on that as Bending requires incredible MA skill?
Are we taking in account intelligence, tactics, behavior, and drive?

Azula has never dodged lightning and has been tagged by stuff far slower than that. Don't get me wrong, her new instant lightning is insane and definitely a huge upgrade. And that she can redirect lightning makes her better than any firebender in the first show by far anymore. And yes, Sakura definitely does. In her Chunin exams, she had to move faster than the vibrations in the earth, and showed pinpoint accuracy.
Did you see Sakura's fight with Sasori? She comes off as "weak" in her own universe because of the fact that everyone else is so much stronger, but Sakura has tanked far, far worse.
Lol at Azula standing a chance against Sakura in hand to hand. That is literally the quickest death sentence for her, honestly. Azula is an outstanding hand to hand fighter in her own universe. Basic martial arts, in which Sakura has clowned Ino and can now even beat the likes of Hinata or even Neji, is something where she clowns Azula.
If you're trying to make a case for Azula to win this battle, then her hand to hand is the one thing that you do not want to advocate for her. Azula is not beating Sakura in hand to hand on any day of the week, ever. If Sakura connects one hit to Azula (which she inevitably will), then Azula is dead. Sakura's own ninjutsu is far superior to any martial arts that we've seen in the Avatarverse (including Korraverse), and Azula is not winning.
I'm talking about either 16-year-old or Boruto mother's Sakura. Boruto's mother Sakura would be at least as strong as Tsunade by this point. Sakura's kunoichi speed, combined with the fact that one hit from her can end Azula, makes her way too much for Azula.
And again, it's just dishonest to say that Azula can match the likes of Sakura or Hinata in hand to hand combat. These are martial arts combatants whose specialty is hand to hand. Sure, Azula has beaten Ty Lee in hand to hand, and yes, that's dandy and so cool. So badass. But Hinata and Sakura are leagues above her there. That is their primary fighting style, and I'd even say that Sakura possibly has Sasuke and Naruto beaten in just hand to hand, given that it's far more her fighting style and what she's used to. It's far more what she utilizes in her fights than those two guys. And same for Hinata.
During Sozin's Comet, you can theoretically make a case for Azula flying into the air and shooting instant lightning at Sakura enough times to put her down, but hand to hand and close-range combat with someone as strong as Sakura or perceptive as Hinata is literal suicide for Azula. That is the last way that she wants to fight either of those women. They'd kill her instantly in melee.
So I ask, again which version of Sakura are we using? Because Chunin exams Sakura was trash and pathetic. She stands no chance nor walks the same path as Azula during that era or arc. Sakura vs Ino was easily the best example at how trash Sakura's abilities and skills were there at the time. Azula is 13 years old, easily would have beaten both Ino and Sakura at the same time.
Also, what do you mean Azula is only good in her verse? When did Sakura ever show she excelled at hand to hand combat skillfully at all? She can build her chakra and release it on impact to create small shockwaves after her training with Tsunade during Shuppuden and then later during the 4th war she was able to create shock waves strong enough to destroy several feet around her, however she was never skilled at hand to hand, rather was just able to produce strong punches, her h2h was average at best. So unless you can show me when Sakura during her 12-16 age time had hands, thats a fallacy. She was never a h2h expert like that. Azula on the other hand disarmed and fought several h2h masters and was able to always come on top even when facing Aang and his team, just because Naruto was flashier doesn't mean it wins. The animation in Avatar series is alot more toned down but that doesnt take feats and abilities away, fail.
So, Sakura at 12 would fail to keep up with 13 year old Azula who im sorry, but is several times smarter, and is significantly more tactical than Sakura by leagues. She is a prodigy and would have surpassed her father Ozai, and no, Azula can fly and melt steel and blast entire buildings with her blue flames easily. We saw her blow up buildings with ease during the conquering of the Earth Nation in book 2. Azula's flames would kill Sakura from the earlier series.
Also, Azula was able to keep up with Aang and Toph who both use vibrations and Aang who can run physically at supersonic speeds as shown when he literally blasted through the sound barrier when his friends were sick. Aang who can react to Lightning had a hard time dodging her h2h and flames, while she was being ambushed by a entire team of people who would easily fit in the first series of Naruto as top tier fighters.
Her fire vaporizes boulders, and buildings, there is no way even Shippuden Sakura would be able to just tank that. Sakura has never shown to be faster than even Hypersonics speeds and she only beat Sasori because she had someone moving her as a puppet at reaction speeds she wasnt able to react to. She needed Sasori's grandmother to aid her in movements and attacks, literally was carried in that match.
Also, intelligence and tactics have alot to do in a battle. Azula physically cant generate the same power potency physically as Sakura but she was able to tank large boulder attacks made of granite while countering Tophs granite walls with her own lighting which penetrate and pierce skin and goes through vital organs as the Chidori does.
Azula would be able to vaporize Sakura, and no Sakura cant regenerate from the dead as even Tsunade wasnt able too during her fight with Madara.
Now adult Sakura, i cant debate that we have no feats for Adult Azula. However we see Azula counter, and blitz around character who have Hypersonic to lighting level reflexes and still confound them all. Azula would be a significant upgrade for Team 7 because she has literally better feats and is way better at combat and is actually smart enough to trick those who are superior.

In hand to hand? No, the hell, she would not have beaten Sakura lol. Her current kemurikage self, which is 16 (and she was 14 in the television show) could likely beat Part 1 Sakura, but only thru instant lightning.
Azula already surpassed her father in the comics. She's 16 now and was 14 in the series, not 13. Not much of a difference, but just letting you know haha. And? Sakura has kept up with far faster threats and characters in her series.
Azula has never shown the ability to run thru Earth's vibrations faster than they themselves travel.
Yeah, no. In hand to hand, Azula loses 10/10 times against Sakura. That's not even debatable. One hit from Sakura will win her the fight. Even if it doesn't kill Azula (tho it probably will), one hit will badly incapacitate Azula and make her unable to continue fighting.
The people who use Chidori, such as Sasuke, move at speeds of which Azula could never even dream moving. Yes, Sakura can't effectively react to Chidori, but she certainly can to hand generated (albeit very fast, generated in a clap) lightning. The speeds thru which Sakura has moved on missions will be enough to close the distance between her and Azula.
Azula versus Sakura in intelligence is honestly debatable, but the raw amount of power and speed that Sakura packs is still too much for her. Azula only has a prayer against Sakura during Sozin's Comet if she can keep Sakura at bay. Azula's lightning was tanked in the comics by Zuko (tho it did seem like she wasn't trying to maim him too badly).
You're really comparing Azula to Madara? Madara has abilities that Azula wouldn't have even if she was the Avatar, and it was Sozin's Comet. Her showings against Kaguya Otsutsuki and Kido definitely put her above Azula in speed and reaction time. Breaking Kaguya's horn puts her far above anything in Azula's output.
And again, hand to hand for Azula against Sakura or Hinata is literal suicide. She's dead if she attempts that.
Are you trolling? Sakura blitz and oneshots Azula with no difficulty. Sakura could just Punch Azula in the face and Azula dies by impact. In fact, Sakura's airpunch is enough to beat Azula.
When has Sakura exceled in hand to hand? I literally said yes she has power but i am questioning how is she better if she was below average? During the chunin exams where was this amazing h2h combat skill? Even during Shippuden? Where was this skill and technique with h2h? Stop talking about power, im talking about skill something you said she beats Azula on, which she doesnt.
What do you mean Azula and Sakura intelligence is debatable? Azula literally controlled armies and was in charge of tactics. She is genius when it comes to hatching plans. Shes not stupid to get hit by a punch with power behind it, not once has Sakura ever shown us she excels highly in h2h aside just swinging blows with chakra concentrated in her hands.
She can't out run, but she can dodge as she reacts to lightning. Also i specifically am using the ATLA Azula not comics after. I am asking which Sakura are you talking about? Because Chunin and Shippuden Sakura are trash. She doent fight using her feats properly she sucks at using them. Yes she has better feats but she lacks the mindset and mind to wield all of it properly or at all. Yes she can heal, yes but if she gets burned and killed shes not reviving. Sakura isnt one with killing intent, Azula does.
Hinata is similar to Tai Lee, what are you talking about? Tai Lee literally would do the same with her skills which are basically hitting the persons chakra points.
In Legend of Korra we have average benders dodged lighting like nothing. The show just isnt dramatic but their feats are there. Azula was able to fight with multiple people at once who are super and hyper sonic. Sakura only becomes a issue later down Shippudden and as a Mother in Boruto.
Azula shits on Chunin Sakura and most of the female cast in Naruto no questions asked. from skill, technique, intelligence, and drive
Azula mid difficulty beats Sakura in Early and Mid Shippuden.
Everything else, Azula has no feats so I am not debating that. I literally said that like two times.

I mean, Sakura's skills as a kunoichi should still far excel beyond anything that anyone in the Avatarverse has shown in martial arts. The opponents that she faced were ones that would rock Azula any day of the week.
She was clearly smart enough to hold her own against Kaguya Otsutsuki and Kido. Azula has controlled "armies" like the Dai Li, whereas Sakura has the ability to pick up an opponent's abilities from a brief scan on the battlefield. It speaks volumes when Sasuke himself deemed her analyticla skills as superior to his own Sharingan.
I said Shippuden Sakura, and yes, that Sakura is too much. Her skills and everything are way too much to deal with. In fact, by that point, Sakura can do what she's often done to her opponents: mislead Azula into thinking that Azula's overpowered her and then blindside her by a punch. Sakura's speed feats are still superior to Azula's.
Aren't we assuming killing intent and bloodlust from both sides in this?
Okay, are you trolling about Ty Lee being "the same as" Hinata? Honest question. Because context matters there. This is like saying that Zuko is "the same" as Sasuke or Azula "the same as" Itachi, because they're both fire-related anti-heroes and villains (respectively, tho Itachi ended up also more an antihero).
Hinata's hand to hand combat abilities are so far above Ty Lee's that it's laughable. With Gentle Fist and Byakugan, Hinata can see everything in Ty Lee's body in a 360 degree peripheral vision. Ty Lee just knows pressures points, and doesn't strike them nearly as fast as Hinata does.
Ty Lee knows a body's weak points and chi, whereas Hinata knows how to actively disable superhuman abilities within a bender with her hand to hand combat style.
And nooo, Azula does not "shit on" Sakura or Hinata. Either one of those girls would destroy her. Maybe Hinata even more so. Again, I can't believe that you really compared Hinata to Ty Lee. Ty Lee at best has a Gentle Fist technique.
Also, using series Azula is useless. We need comic Azula if we're going to even make this a battle. Series Azula would be a sitting duck against Shippuden Sakura unless it's Sozin's Comet. But comic Azula during Sozin's Comet against Shippuden Sakura would be a better fight.
Even during Sozin's Comet and with her kemurikage version from the comics, however, Azula is not standing a chance against Hinata. No, Hinata is not "basically the same as" Ty Lee. Hinata has superhuman speed and vision that allows her to immediately see exactly where Azula's firebending is coming from, where to hit, etc.
Ty Lee just gets a general idea of which body parts Azula would use for her firebending and how to temporarily disable them. Hinata gets a full view of Azula's entire chi system and has a ruthless 64-palm technique as well as Byakugan.
Tho Sakura is above Hinata, styles make fight, and I'd even say that Hinata is a worse matchup for Azula than Sakura is. Sakura beats Hinata 7/10, but kemurikage Azula with Sozin's Comet only 6/10. Hinata, tho, pulverizes kemurikage Azula even amped up by the comet 10/10 times if she's being as ruthless and bloodlusted as Azula.
Bloodlusted Hinata is terrifying, and with her speed and striking accuracy, would make short work of Azula. Hand to hand is something where Azula literally cannot be better than any Hyuuga, given that they have abilities of which she can only dream when it comes to speed, perception, and striking accuracy.
Are you trolling? Sakura blitz and oneshots Azula with no difficulty. Sakura could just Punch Azula in the face and Azula dies by impact. In fact, Sakura's airpunch is enough to beat Azula.
I lost it at the comparison of Hinata to Ty Lee...
Also, Hinata has pushed back an imperfect 10-tailed Juubi. Sakura has defeated a 10-tailed clone. Hinata's fight against Pain, tho she clearly lost, was above anything that anyone in the Avatarverse could ever show. Hinata surviving as long as she did, and showing the physical prowess that she did, puts her above any individual. She alone did better against Pein than the entire Avatarverse combined would, tho I'm not saying that Hinata> the entire Avatarverse (just more than any individual from it).
We don't have much on adult Sakura, but the fact that teen Sakura's perception rivals Sasuke's Sharingan, and adult Sakura went toe to toe with Shin Uchiha, puts Sakura in either Shippuden or especially as an adult in her prime leaps and bounds above anything that Azula will ever be.
Assuming that Azula only gets better after the comics, and becomes the best firebender ever by 20s, 20-something Azula with Sozin's Comet would still lose to any Uchiha ever. The fact that Sakura can rival Shin Uchiha as an adult means that not even 20-something kemurikage Azula with Sozin's Comet will ever come close to Sakura, and that's especially if we give Sakura bloodlust/killing intent and her kunai to explode in Azula's face.
Also, the amount of times that Sakura has tricked her opponents into thinking that she's dead or defeated, she could easily pull that with Azula. That doesn't matter, tho, when Azula isn't ready for Sakura to close the gap and deck her.
Sakura, with slug summoning jutsus as well as exploding kunai and Byakugou to withstand the piercing effects of comet-enhanced lightning (plus regeneration) and insane speed will close the gap before Azula knows it and knock her head off.
