Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori

Winners: Chiyo And Sakura

Sakura was still considered an unlikeable character in the early parts of Naruto Shippuden, which is why she needed a great fight to highlight her development. Sakura teamed up with Chiyo to stop Sasori from causing any more damage. The two kunoichis were at a disadvantage against the puppet master, so they formulated a plan to counter his threat.

Chiyo attached chakra threads to Sakura, allowing her to control the young ninja’s movements. Chiyo and Sakura had to dig deep to find an opening, and once they did, they made sure to punish Sasori. The Akatsuki member was stabbed in the heart, which brought an end to his life. The fight was quite emotional, especially for Chiyo, as she did not want to kill her grandson.

However, Killer B proved everyone wrong by beating Sasuke to a pulp. If Sasuke did not have his teammates backing him up, there is no doubt that he would have died at the hands of Killer B. In the fight, Killer B showed that, while his looks and style were outlandish, he was still among the top fighters in Naruto.
