It wasn't a fight, she just 1-shotted the damn thing, and Sakura is useless. it are fact

You just proved my point. Sakura 0NE-SHOTTED a RINNEGAN SUMMON. That implies that she can potientially one-shot his other animal summons minus the cerburus.

The Animal Path's battle power would be severly reduced fighting her.

It's not like it's a big deal anyway, it's just a freakin' summon. It gets back up nevertheless.

Firstly, the standards expected of jōnin are likely to vary, from village to village. Further evidence:
  • Sunagakure is considered the weakest village, at least out of the Five Great Nations
  • their shinobi populace took a plummet after they attempted to invade Konohagakure
  • this is reflected in even Konohagakure; when Kakashi was made jōnin whilst still a kid
Looking at specifically the jōnin of Konohagakure, they had solid stats in the three main shinobi skills.
  • Sakura's are lackluster, with a 3.5 being the highest of three
Of course, none of this takes into consideration that Sakura is an emotional wreck.
  • jōnin are expected to operate alone and without any self-impairment

The reason is simple, Sakura isn't strong enough to be a jounin. All three jounins that you listed are far stronger than her. Having higher data book stats doesn't mean you are stronger than the one who has lower stats. It doesn't work that way and some stats are more important than others so getting higher stats in certain categories is less useful compared to other categories.

Stats aren't always reliable when it comes to these comparisons. Sakura overall may be more well rounded than Temari, but that doesn't mean she can beat Temari in a fight.
What good will forming hand seals faster do when you only use Chakra Enhanced strikes, especially considering that Temari is a long range specialist?

That being said, Sakura would qualify as a Tokubetsu-Jonin based on her medical prowess alone. She'll need an upgrade in combat skills, however, before she can be considered true Jonin level.

I'm surprised you haven't gotten banned yet. Everywhere I go, you seem to be trolling and flame baiting. :|

You are aware that this saying existed way before the Dark Knight, right?
Oh wait, you're just flame baiting again. Damn I always fall for these things. :D

Does ranks matter in Naruto ????

If you go by the ranks Naruto should be in the village with Konohamaru and group since he is a genin...............
In-spite of being a Genin all the Kages and jounin are depending on Naruto to save the world .......

And if Sakura is my favorite character then whatever her rank she would always be the best medic ninja for me and same goes for Naruto ..

Hashi, Tsunade, Kabuto are better medics than Sakura....Shizune prolly too

Jounins are ninjas that can disregard their emotions and do what they need to do too get the job done
Sakura does not deserve to be a jounin

Actually, Jounins should have 2 basic elements, moderate use of genjutsu, and good taijutsu. There are exceptions though.

First of all I am talking about alive ninja's and ninja's fighting with the alliance so :-

  • Hashirama :- He is dead and not working with alliance atm
  • Tsunade :- Was fighting in the frontlines not sure she will survive
  • Kabuto:- Fighting against the alliance so no chance of healing the enemies

which leave only two capable medics and they are Shizune and Sakura...
both having being doing a great job of supporting the front line ninja's and plus also figured the zetsu's abilities and both came up with detailed analysis of the same.

Main part was Sakura's contribution and her research which played an important part in doing the analysis as well

Oh yea, I forgot that part. Sakura has yet to show any elemental jutsu

In my eyes.. After looking at how she was in the S ranked mission vs the lovely Akatsuki. I think she has earned Jounin for sure. She helped an old lady that was heading to her grave soon with a task the strongest Kazekage of the past could not do. Some people should try showing her more respect because she is not as useless as you people put her out to be. No I am not a fan of her but she is not as useless as you think she is. Bet she can hulk smash the hell out of Hinata. Turn Ino into her bish and TenTen wouldn't stand a chance.

Emotions and versatility.

Jounin's can put aside their emotions for the betterment of the mission. Sakura has shown on too many occasion's that she is incapable of hat.

Sakura is an amazing Medic and amazing close range fighter but she isn't versatile at all. She is similar to Tsunade in the sense that if they get you where they are effective, it's game over. Anywhere else they pale in comparison to most other Shinobi.
