By "improve", I mean if Sakura will be at least comparable to the combat effectivity of her fellow ninjas like Chouji, Kiba, Hinata, Tenten, etc.

Right now, she's the weakest and most worthless genin in Naruto. Well, she's talented in molding/controlling chakra and in identifying genjutsu, but what's the use of that if she doesn't have a considerable chakra and good jutsus to match that?

So what's your opinion? Will Sakura stay the weakest throughout the series, or will she improve and have weird jutsus later on (perhaps Inner Sakura kuchiyose or something)?

Amazingly this is actually pointless.

You have a better chance to win the lottery then Sakura not improving. She improves just by sitting there. Hell she learned the Release without anyone teaching it to her.

The Release jutsu (for genjutsu) was probably taught at the Academy. It's a basic skill.

Maybe so, but she knew when to use it, detected it and helped others deflect it.

A jonin (most likely) put that sleep on the people. And yet she still was able to repel it.

You may know how to use a skill, but unless you know when to use it, it's useless.

Kamui4356 · 2004-06-07, 02:37

Of course Sakura will improve. She's going to learn all sorts of new cheers. OH! you meant improve as a ninja.... Then no, she's always going to be useless.
But at least her cheerleading career is looking bright.

Triga · 2004-06-07, 03:59

Sure she will but I was frustrated and answered "Err, doubt it"

. She'd better!

Lost World · 2004-06-07, 04:10

This is pointless. She's one of the three main characters. Of course she's going to improve.

Yup that's what i though

HoboGod · 2004-06-07, 04:25

this is probably something descussed in the Official Sakura Discussion Thread

sakura isn't important enough for more than one thread on any given forum. if that hasn't been talked about in that thread, then start talking about it there.

If so, why was she so surprised when she found out that Shikamaru could use it?

netyello · 2004-06-07, 04:37

She wasn't surprised. She was pissed off at him because he was faking being asleep. Typical Shikamaru. Always trying to stay/get out of trouble.

She wasn't surprised that he was able to use it, she was only surprised that he went on to take a nap after he used it

Edit: Dammit, someone beat me to it

Anyway, I voted doubt it, they didn't even improve her skills a tiny bit in the whole series, I mean any visible change. Then again, she doesn't fight much to show of her skills.

She knows stuffs like that, that's her specialty, it's there she's good on. She's like the smartest.

IntegraTypeR · 2004-06-07, 07:19

No, she'll always be a side-dish character.

Alexander Anderson · 2004-06-07, 08:17

did she improved? a bit
will she improve? probably

pyu · 2004-06-07, 08:48

Personally, I doubt it. She has the least development compared to Naruto and Sasuke. What I am afraid of is Kishimoto simply using her as a wall-flower character intended to spur on Sasuke and Naruto.

She might improve slightly, but not a lot compared to what Sasuke and Naruto will become.

I doubt she'll improve very much. We have sasuke with chidori and improving his sharingan abilities, we have naruto starting to train to learn rasengan, and what is sakura doing.. nothing. If she does improve, yeah, she'll probably become a medical-nin or something like that but as for becoming any real use for naruto and sasuke... other than rooting them on..
*(^_^*) Go Sasuke! Go Naruto! Go! (*^_^)* I don't think she'll serve much of a purpose.
