NO.
as much as it seems that the three kids are going to follow the sannin's footsteps, you must remember that in the end, they'll probebly be friends (and hence, not like Ji\Oro\Tsu). so, even though Naruto and Sasuke seem to go with the Jiraya-Orochimaru realtionship, there has to be foreshoadowing to hint that things aren't gonna end like with the sannin. Here Sakura comes in, she isn't gonna train with Tsunade, and her specialty isn't medical ninjutsu but genjustu....


i haven't seen 103 yet (or 102, if you're asking), so i can't comment about that part...
Why does everyone keep saying Sakura has a specialty in genjutsu? Anything genjutsu relating to Sakura has been one attack on her (Kakashi, really early in the series) and the ONE time she broke Kabuto's sleeping technique. Unless you forget, Shikamaru did it too. She only knows that one because someone taught it to her. They've said in the series that Sakura can learn anything if she is taught how to do it once, that's her extent of genius-ness.

As far as we can tell, Sakura's "specialty" is learning things if she is taught step by step how to do them.
