Well, let's get the facts :
Jiraya gets Naruto, Orochimaru gets Sasuke and Tsunade gets Sakura.
A new "Sannin" trio would be obvious.
At first, when I saw Sakure getting a big boost from part 1, whe she fought against Kakashi, I really expected that
to become true. Finally Sakura would become strong enough. When se fought with Chiyo against Sasori, once more I expected she was becoming cool. Then, she justs stops evolving. While Naruto and Sasuke are getting power ups from various sources, Sakura just stays there, on the same level. You can say she has improved her healing skills, but it isn't enough from one of the main characters of the story.
I am pretty disappointed that Tsunade didn't taught her that Regeneration Jutsu or even made her sign contract with Katsuyu. And I don't think Sakura's taijutsu is on pair or even close to Tsunade.
I may be wrong, and Sakura could just pop the Regeneratio jutsu or summon Katsuyu and fight against Madara IDK, but the chances of this happening is very low.
There are 3 choices :
1 -Sakura was a horrible studant
2 -Tsunade was a horrible sensei
3 -Kishi didn't develop Sakura as she needed to be.

I think that's the reason people called her useless. It's not because she is "that" weak. Actually she is one of the most powerfull characters from her generation (part 1), she's called that because she is not even close to Naruto/Sasuke's level and she is/was one of the big players of the whole manga.

This is not a bashing on her, just a fact that I wanted to point out, and that i'm very disappointed, because it would be BOSS if the Team Kakashi could take down Obito/Madara or the Juubi and receive the title of the new Sannin team.

We're all expecting someone who comes from a normal family to become a bad ass ninja. At this point, she's is the third best healer in Konoha, and she does not have ANY boosts. It's all raw will power from Sakura. Don't cry that she's not Sasuke or Naruto level, or that she has no power ups. She's not supposed to! :scorps:

This is such a common misconception.

3. Kishi said that he can't create good female characters. It's really all his fault. You're right she did have a lot of potential though

I agree, but, if anything, Tsunade was a far better teacher than Jiraiya and Orochimaru was the best teacher of the three. Sasuke got a huge boost in the skip, Sakura got a pretty decent one while Naruto got... the oodama rasengan and marginal boosts in tactical and taijutsu skills. Just what did Jiraiya teach Naruto? But I digress...
Yeah, Kishimoto just can't write female characters, maybe with the exception of Tsunade, that's why he just forgot about Sakura. Such a pity...

Why not? Her teacher is one of the Sannin, as are Naruto's and Sasuke's team. It would be a basic thing to her to have at least a summoning jutsu or a kinjutsu to use. Tsunade is very strong and could have taught Sakura more things.

She taught her bad ass Taijutsu, and healing. It takes time to learn that. She likely knows summoning jutsu as well. There's no reason for us to have seen it yet though.*_*

No reasons? Konoha was torned apart and now Naruto is completely exhausted. I'm pretty sure that there are enough reasons to summon a giant healing slug(Don't need to be Katsuyu, there must be some other Giant Slug on the "Slug Land")

A healer, fighting Nagato, when no one in the village could match up to him? Besides Naruto? Her duty is to heal first. That's the job of the Hokage to protect the village. Not some Chunin Healer.

But her summon is not a fighting type. She could just do the same as Tsunade has done, but in a minor scale. At least it would show us that she was capable of doing something other then crying.(I recognize she was the medic boss from the village, but as Tsunade's pupil I was expecting more). So what she's a Chunin Healer? Gennin Naruto fought a tailed beast way before this. Definitely she was in need of a power up.

Kishi didn't develop her enough. She was originally adept in genjutsu but that never got expanded. She could have been a powerful genjutsu/super strength shinobi/medical ninja specialist but he hasn't allowed Sakura to reach her potential of being a top-notch fighter.

That at least would be hella stronger then she's now...Put here a Summoning Jutsu and Forbidden Techinic(Tsunade Regeneration) and she would surpass her sensei and the gap between her and Sasuke/Naruto would be acceptable

Duh he is waiting for her special moment.

She will solo the Juubi and turn Madara and Hashirama into fodders like they were in the first place.

Then she will become the jinchuuriki for the Juubi and unlock the Rinnegan.

If there's another arc, then yeah. Otherwise no.

For all we could know, Minato could've not had come from a clan.

Yet he adapted FTG into a faster, seal based tech.
