From early part 1. That's why at the beginning of Shippuden, when everything WASN'T A MESS Sakura was even able to pull herself together, look Sasuke dead in the eye and attack him herself. The fact that they keep regressing her character day by day, well, that's another story...
And emotional maturity that SHE INSTILLED IN SAKURA, too! At least in canon. Because remember when they failed to reach Sasuke once again, who was the EMOTIONALLY MATURE PERSON. Tsunade was instilling into her that emotional maturity so feelings won't get in the way of judgement+
She made the decision ON HER OWN & the decision was NOT TO GO with it and even more, SEIZE the moment to KILL OROCHIMARU while at it. She wanted NO ONE TO INTERFERE as she can be EMOTIONALLY CAPABLE OF STANDING HER OWN GROUND, even at her LOWEST. That nothing can manipulate her
Let's remember how both Shizune was trying to backtrack her from it, Orochimaru via his antics, Jiraiya via his threats. What did Tsunade do? She NEUTRALIZED THEM ALL. She knocked Shizune out, put drugs into Jiraiya's drink so that NO ONE CAN STOP & INFLUENCE HER.
YES, Tsunade did went through a lot of emotional back and forth because Orochimaru KNEW what buttons to push, given her PTSD. However, despite that, despite being backed into a corner with multiple MANIPULATION techniques, from all sides, Tsunade reached a conclusion on HERSELF
Orochimaru had followed her to make her that deal. And HE KNOWS WHAT BUTTONS to press because Tsunade had been suffering from PTSD. He knew her ins and outs. But even then, Tsunade was always ON THE BRINK of it, by questioning him and distrusting him from the very get go.
As for the Sasori bit, once again may I remind you this panel of what teen Sakura thought in comparison to adult Sakura when Sasori spoke of turning humans into puppets as if there's no tomorrow. Funny change in characterization...One would say OOC.
If this "whole ass thread is a flop", your whole ass response thread is a flop, to quote you, thanks to this one image here, given that Sakura became a medic nin TO PROTECT THE LIVES of her comrades, not sacrifice them to a jutsu that literally implies taking someone's life. https://t.co/g1eEih1JTM
@mzloox So now you're playing the 'it's not officially translated & it's not such a big deal card' taking away attention from the fact that the context is clear when she says she'd do it. Funny.
Odd reach to say that ab Sakura given what Edo Tensei implies? Remember this Sakura?
I love it when they ☺️ #narusaku
