Why not tell Sasuke about Water Walking? Probably helps Chakra Levels too so it's a win-win.
If you add that Sasuke should tell team 7 only if they ask him first, then I'm game.

I think he should tell his team after Naruto finishes Tree Walking cuz it'll maybe make Naruto better than he is now. Though I think we can all agree that Sakura will always be a burden and drag us down.If you add that Sasuke should tell team 7 only if they ask him first, then I'm game.

I would not use determined for Sakura for anything other than her obsession with Sasuke. Sakura does not have the drive. And there is no reality check in the world that will give her that. In canon she didn't have a reality check, and look at the shit that happened! Sakura is useless to us. Maybe she can find herself useful to someone else in the future but to us, to Sasuke, she is useless. No, she's worse then useless, she's a hindrance.I disagree. Sakura has a lot of potential in any serious setting. She's smart and she's determined. She might never become a full-on combat ninja, but that's not the only type there is. Assasins, healers, seducers, spies, infiltrators. She can be excellent in any of these roles. She just needs a reality check and to let go of her unhealthy obsession.
The reason why I specifically asked for the change is to affect Naruto. At this point of time, in ogtl Naruto outright refused to help Sasuke because he's an immature dick. Now if he wants to get help he has to overcome himself.

Being a good medic is from Tsunade. If she wasn't around Sakura would never develop into such a competent Medic Nin. Assuming we aren't rehashing canon, Sakura loses the one thing that gets her anywhere.How come? Look at Sakura at the start of Shupuuden - she turned herself from nobody into a third/fourth best medic in the world in three years only. She was skilled enough to counteract poisons of Sasori of the Red Sands on the fly. Considering that she didn't have a bloodline limit to help her with that, it could only have happened due to her talent and determination to succeed. She shouldn't be compared to Sasuke or Naruto in that regard - both were freaks on the path to godhood by author's decree; disturbingly vast majority of Naruto's characters have nothing on any of those 15 year old teenagers despite being several times their age.
In ogtl her reality check happened too late and was immediately overshadowed by what happened Konoha and Sasuke - aka FoD Sound nin situation followed immediately by Orochimaru's invasion and then Sasuke's encounter with Itachi. So it's not like she's incapable of learning, too.
Her Sasuke crush was annoying to see and will be even more so to deal with but as long as she'll keep herself from being physical or loud about it, I'm alright with it. Noone's perfect afterall.
Edit. Don't get me wrong, she's nothing special on the battlefield, but life's more than that.

Also, Naruto doesn't have a bloodline either and he learns quickly too. So it's not a unique trait of Sakura's either.
Oh no, she is incapable of learning. Because she fucked up far to many times in canon to have ever considered to have learned.
But as she is now, she's a hinderance and does not have any use anywhere.
Sakura and quiet is to anyone that understands her character like Naruto and Strong is to Sasuke.
Tsunade is the best Medic Nin in History. If you're taught by the best, you'll learn a few things no matter how incompetent you are. Now, no denying that Medical Ninjutsu is her thing, but talented in the field or not, Tsunade kicked her to a higher level than any Medic Nin could in this time period. A level that's probably take another couple of years.Where do you take that from? That has no base whatsoever. Yes, Tsunade was her teacher, but Tsunade is not the only person in the world who can teach Sakura. Yeah, she'd probably take a little longer without the Sannin and she'd never develop her already somewhat shaky battle prowess, but she'd still learn.
Are you serious? Naruto learns quickly because he can spam thousands of shadow clones, who all help him shorten his learning time a thousand times, since he's a Nine Tails Jinchuriki; how's that for a unique talent?
Not to mention Naruto's almost royal genetics.
I don't think she's ever failed a medical operation ever. And being a medic ninja is her primary job.
Agree.
What?
Anyway, it's clear that you don't like that character, neither do I, to be honest; it's not often that I find myself defending her. But to deny her usefullness is a sign of blindness or denial of which I want no part.

Took a few weeks at most to learn the Rasangan. To my understanding he didn't use Shadow Clones to make the Bijuudama and it's varients.
She fails as a Shinobi. She confronts Sasuke and fails to kill him. She fails to destroy the Rinnegan despite Obito's urging. Although I admit despite the one time that no one could save Naruto and thus I don't count it, she never failed as a medic.
Oh no, you can be mediocre at something even if taught by the best. But Shizune probably knows a few things about Medical Ninjutsu you wouldn't expect due to having been taught by Tsunade. After all another example is TenTen having been taught by Gai and she's probably only mediocre at Taijutsu.Shizune disagrees with you. It's perfectly possible to be taught by the best and stay a mediocrity.
Bijuudama is like a natural extention of his Jinchuriki powers. Why'd he need to learn something that comes naturally?
Well, I do agree that she's better off the battlefield. Stuck her in a hospital and the results will be incredible. Then again, if you match her against anyone not of the top 2% of the ninjas of the shinobi world, she'd probably win.
Basically, what makes her bad is her inability to subdue her emotions, but that can be helped with.
Meanwhile Sakura developed strength enough to be a serious threat to Kaguya. She really does have strength that can at least crack mountains.
I'm hesitant to accept this as fact, considering her physical strength was shown as even more monstrous by the latter half of that fight, since she's no longer shoving half her chakra into growing a seal on her head.That's not true also. She wasn't a threat, only Naruto and Sasuke were, due to their ability to seal her away. Sakura's famous punch could have been done by anyone else, even Naruto's clone; outcome wouldn't have changed.
Bro, I get it. In fact we all get it. You follow the edgelord Naruto school of thought.Guys. Don't tell Sasuke about Danzo. And don't get his hopes up about the burden called Sakura and the incompetent teacher that is Kakashi.
First of all your spelling is abhorrent. Secondly it's not 'the edgelord school of thought' when it's true. Sakura is a burden, Kakashi is a terrible teacher.Bro, I get it. In fact we all get it. You follow the edgelord Naruto school of thought.
Sakura can never be not shit, Kakashi is worthless, the only excuse for not being literally a demigod is to admit worthlessness or have a manly moment of badass. That's cool and a really nice delusion. However, we are choosing to ignore this in favor of more rational schools of thought.
Sakura is and always will be a sub-par combatant but is a noted intellectual prodigy and potentially very useful for mountain cracking and as a support role more so than most other bin. Even know she holds wide knowledge of many things in a book sense and a mastery of chakra control surpassing assume.
Kakashi refuses to teach because he holds a lack of confidence. However, he has been shown to teach is several situations to great effect making getting him to do so a worthwhile proposition. He is also shown to be well socialized among Konica notables and rather very intelligent. Regardless he is the only feasible teaching resource at joining capacity available.
Further, operations consist of more than a pair of demigods. There is the support from the media to the farmer to the homage all of whom are valuable in their own right. Neglecting these resources is neglecting resources which is bad. Yes, even if the farmer isn't demigod badass level farmer who cultivates over 9000 strains.
Finally, these are the people we have on hand. If sakura for instance doesn't plan out as well as is hoped than oh well she was useful while we were stuck with her and she can be replaced by someone else later. That doesn't make having tried a waste, it's still helping a Konica nin and utilizing an on hand resource.
For want of an attempt victory is always lost.
So maybe you are right. Sakura is a mad wailing banshee who is a waste of flesh and can never amount to anything but any nin on hand isn't a drag. Even if shes only there as a convinient kawarimi target into an enemy jutsi that will kill her.
Maybe you're right Kakashi is useless and will never do anything. Oh well he's all we got and at least we can name drop him. Trying though is the only way to see and have him endorse us.
Maybe your right and everyone who dares not be a badass demigod like Naruto and assume is a waste of flesh. Oh well what is supposed to be done about that, kill them all?
But most of all I dun get your fixation on giving up before starting. What does one lose for hoping?
"Just remember, Sasuke, don't try to lie too much to Kakashi. Perhaps don't tell him about the voices, but let him watch your meditation. He has more experience and skill than you; that's why he's the teacher, even if he's not great at it.
As for your teammates, just remember, you're children who only recently graduated with the very basics of ninja skills. Try not to look at them as dead weights. Look at them as potential. They didn't have the training advantages you did growing up, but that just means they have more raw potential for growth. You don't have to be responsible for teaching them and shaping them, but try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Are you angry that the raw steel a blacksmith has in his storehouse is not shaping itself into kunai and shuriken? If not, then neither should you be quite so upset that students have not taught themselves yet."
Hmm...interesting. Nice to meet you, Sasuke.
Your primary objective is the elimination of Uchiha Itachi. I assume you consider the restoration of your clan secondary, if you're willing to die in this venture, so harping on about that would be needless.
Instead, you need to determine how to actually exceed him. Hatred only goes so far. Anger is worse, since it is so easily blinding.
No amount of any emotion or determination will get you there on its own. You know this, though.
So, here's my long term advice:
1. Temper your emotions. Retain your resolve, but don't let it drive you to recklessness. When you have more control, you will earn more respect, and others will be more willing to support you.
2. Use all of your resources:
Sakura is not a strong Kunoichi yet, but she excels in academia. She might be able to help you in Jutsu research, for example.
Naruto, while currently not impressive, has exceptional chakra reserves and a close relationship with the Hokage. The former could make him a useful ally, if trained--Itachi is not foolish enough to work entirely alone--and the latter has value that should be obvious.
Kakashi knows a lot of people. Aside from his normal teachings as your Sensei, he might be willing to recommend other resources to help you learn.
Beyond these, what assets of the Uchihas have you inherited? Family friends who might help you? Documents you might research? Specialty weapons you might use? You need every drop of potential you can draw upon.
3. Research. Research. Research. You can spend time looking for Jutsu, asking for someone to give you power, or you can innovate and create your own. Understand the theory, refine your control, and use them to develop techniques for development and combat alike. Sharingan memorization will help you here.
4. Trust is essential. Earn it, if you want others to help you. Show them loyalty and kindness, and most will reciprocate. Give trust to others with caution, but do give it, in some measure at least.
My short term advice?
1. Pull your team together. It will take work, but the conflict between you three is what Kakashi is most interested in resolving. Fix that, and he'll be more willing to provide useful training. Besides that, you'll need a united and competent team to succeed in the Chuunin exams (and all of your group missions).
Honestly, your best method is to try group training. Sakura will do as you ask, if you just push her a bit, and can probably get Naruto to join in. Even if it's just meditation, taijutsu kata, or chakra control exercises, it will still be a good start.
If they don't put in the work, remember that they both look up to you. Sakura wants to be good enough for you, and Naruto sees you as someone to overcome. Leverage those feelings, and you can make them push themselves towards the strength they, and you, need them to develop.
2. You're fighting Mist. If he hasn't given your team details already, ask your Sensei for any and all advice he can give about dealing with their Jutsu and tactics. Make sure he shares with your team, too.
Apologies for the lecture. Good luck, Sasuke.
So, Kakashi wants to see you meditate? Heh. Well, lets see how high we can push your meditation this time Sasuke. Try this one on for size, for music accompaniment.
I do have hopes for this song, however, if this song does nothing but provide a bit of calm music, then that is fine. I do hope it helped with meditation.
Oh yes! Apologies in advance for future frustrations Sasuke, but our connection is not, static, in time. Time tends to pass in bursts, through the connect. Some have been unheard from for months before suddenly a message slips through. Sometimes it takes less than a second to connect.
Hello Sasuke! Me again. I found some more meditation music for you to use. I hope you enjoy it. And remember "He who angers you conquers you."-Elizabeth Kenny.
Sasuke, I actually have some answers for you about what Sufficient Velocity is. Put quite bluntly, we are humans who happen to live on a different reality layer from you. This is different from a parallel world (like the summoning realm), and has several important implications. First and foremost, actual physical travel between reality layers is completely impossible, no way whatsoever to pull it off. The closest that can usually be achieved is projecting a copy of a person's mind into a body that already exists on the target reality layer.
Second, from the reality layer we live in, it is extremely easy to observe events in the reality layer you live in, including possible futures, alternate possibilities, and occasionally what your enemies are up to at the moment.
Last, communication between reality layers is rather difficult, and requires someone on our end acting as a volunteer to maintain the connection, though said volunteer isn't capable of communicating directly with you (since they're busy holding open the link). In this case, the volunteer goes by Jaune Pendragon.
