^ No, I know what you said. You said Sakura at her age at the beginning surpassed Kakashi when he was the same age. That's not true. Kakashi was already a Jonin when at the same age as Sakura and lived through a war making him having more experience when she was at the same age. Plus he became a Chuunin 6 years younger than Naruto and the others at their beginning ages.

It seams both Tsunade's and Sakura's seal came from Uzumaki's. It would be pretty cool if we found out what Mito's seal was able to do. Maybe Hasrirama will comment on that after seeing Sakura's seal.

as for sakuras seal, yeah shodai could say something, or the role could be left for tsunade should she make a return to the battlefield. plus there is still a fullblooded uzumaki (karin) who could also be used somehow...

Sakura "surpassed" the Sannin as you say, in a complete rabbit out of the hat. It literally took her about 5 panels to jump in power from scrub to above sannin powers. All because Kishi forced it into the story as a way of including her in the final fight. At no stage in the manga was sakura treated as being a particularly gifted shinobi. Very early on she was touted as being book-smart and having good chakra control. But ofcourse that was a kind of lip-service because it never parlayed into anything tangible to make us believe she could do anything. Every single mission she was useless. During the chuunin exams when the highlights were the big fights involving Lee/Gaara/Sasuke/Naruto/Neji --- Sakura was fighting ... ino ... in a completely underwhelming fight. And then now magically shes has surpassed the Sannin. Its true in the sense of that is what we saw on the page. But that doesnt matter because it makes zero sense and hurts the story big-time. Would make about as much sense as shino suddenly declaring hes going to save everyone, and summoning a 2000 foot tall giant bug that swallows the juubi and ends the fight. All this hinges on whether she gets out of the way in the next few chapters, or she keeps getting a pivotal role. If she gets out of the way, then it was a momentary suspension of belief. If she continues to play a big role in the fight .. then the whole fight ends up sucking. It could be very likely its just my own perception, but whenever I feel there are big logic gaps in something happening, it tends to really dampen the enjoyment. The whole point of a story is that it surprises you, yielding entertainment. But that entertainment only comes if those surprises were not violations of the story's own built in rules. If the 'suprise' violates the story's built in rules, then it is no longer a suprise -- it is a logic fail; or a deux ex machina; or simply dumb. Last edited by Cookie-Monster; 2013-06-04 at 11:05. |

she wasn't a scrub. sasori was the best ninja ever to come out of the sand village and he acknowledged her as gifted and skilled. i agree her story thereafter could have been written better, but i wouldn't call her latest reveal a "rabbit out of a hat". the sasori fight was a good enough precursor to justify her being so good. she has been the apprentice of the hokage after all. she's just hardly ever in the limelight of this story and it's usually as a 'typical useless' girl, but that goes for all girls in this story unfortunately... |

I think the female side characters are better presented/written than the two main females in Naruto. I have a hard time remembering Temari being useless or for that matter Tenten. Mizukage is also another decent character.
Sakura and Hinata's character is ruined because of their obsession over their respective love interests. Kishi made a colossal mess of their characterization by making them effectively one-word characters - "Sasuke-kun" "Naruto-kun"(its a bit hyperbolic, but true nonetheless). He doesn't know how to write a romantic angle between two characters without showing one of them to be utterly obsessive - take Obito for example. Its like they don't have a life other than worrying, fangirling, fanboying their crushes.

So she is deffinately not just book smart with a little chakara control. She is extremely genius with an enormous amount of chakra control and to top it of she probably has some hidden trick besides the super strength. I wouldn't be too surprised if she pulls out her own adaptation of her masters jutsu, just like sasuke and naruto did. Ofcourse when she does it everyone will call it a deus ex machina, even though most people really use that wrong... So basically it seems that many are just angry that sakura is getting in the way of their happy BL manga with naruto and sasuke. |

^exactly...sasori killed the legendary third kazekage. his most lethal weapon is his poison and with only minute samples extracted from kankaro, sakura was able to develop an antidote, with sasori himself admitting even he would require a list of ingredients. chiyo also gave the proclamation that sakura would surpass tsunade.
agreed, she was prescribed to the role of quintessential naruto manga female, but during that time she was working on a jutsu that only a sannin, and sannin's grandmother has completed. so yeah, she wasnt/isnt a scrub. in fact she has been close to sannin level capability (tsunade's at least) for some time now

Sakura is basically the mirror image of Lee...
Not emphasized in unique/flashy jutsu. Only superior herculean strength/taijutsu Lee: Gates & taijutsu moveset Sakura: Taught:Med Nin Skills Tsunades Seal Her taijutsu = Hulk Smash (Literally chakra control in fists) If anything, I predict her having a new summon. She hasn't displayed any unique contracts yet. |
