1. She is a secondary character. Her development stopped after the Sasori fight how long ago.. She is slightly more important than the rest of K11, but the Sannin trio/deadlock has been overshadowed by the elder-younger son struggle. Even if she was meant to be a main character, you cannot argue that she has gotten the same amount of spotlight as Naruto/Sasuke.

2. Sage chakra = physical + spiritual + nature energy. Not nature energy + chakra.

The yin seal can't help her attain a SSM if there is one, and if it does, Kishi will have
to change the rules about senjutsu, and seeing as frog sm and snake sm follow the same rules, I doubt it.
Thank you so much for saying this!

I've been saying the same thing (in this very thread) and people keep on shrugging it off.

Based on the amount of panel time each character is getting, that's absolutely true.

That and even more of his back story is known then sakura's.
More time has been spent on his character so I would think that means he is more of a main character then Sakura.
You could even call Obito more of a main character.

There are plenty of characters who have more panel time and more character devlopment then Sakura.
Shikamaru is included in that

Just because you've been skipping over the times she's in the manga doesn't make you right.

Well, Sakura now has the yin seal, so she would have the chakra reserves to be able to use sage mode I suppose. That would be pretty cool.

Some people would say it's an ass pull, but, what do you expect? Kishi isnt going to let the trio be unbalanced and leave Sakura in the shadows.

Most times I'm with your arguments, Mistraal, but I have to disagree on this one, since Long Haired Leaf Ninja has a point...

Sakura in essence was a main character in the starting chapters of part 2, but she lost way too much panel... she was completely left when Naruto and Sasuke started to walk the path for finding peace... their role in the whole plot reached another level.

She still is part of the main team on the series, Team 7 (former Team Kakashi before Sasuke rejoined), but she as an individual can't still be called a main character.

It's sad but true, there are other characters that even not being part of the main team have way more screentime in the arc, for example, Bee.

Of course, I'm not saying Sakura is useless. In fact I have enough insight level to realize she is one of the pillars that is mantaining the SA at safety with her remote healing ability, but one thing is how useful a character can be, and other different thing is how much screen time does it have.

Furthermore (a lot of people will bash me for this one) even Sasuke was not a main character until he arrived the war, he was completely out of sight... he was an antagonist with anti-protagonic purposes.

He's going to do just that (just as he has for the entirety of the series).

Naruto and Sasuke represent far more than Sannin trio clones (they've long since surpassed the Sannin and neither focus on those "Sannin powers" anymore ie BM mode, EMS). They're parallelization with Hashirama and Madara (Elder+Younger son) is far more significant. From both a power and story related perspective.

Naruto can already blow up mountains (and will also get other half of Kyuubi chakra) and Sasuke is bound to get a Perfect Susanoo.

Sakura simply can't compete. And the thing is, she doesn't need to as she's a secondary character. Chapter 641 outright says that Naruto and Sasuke are the main attractions.

I'm sorry to disagree... I highly doubt Sakura can't blow mountains in her current state.

I haven't missed a thing and I'm sry to break it to you but she isn't a main character.
Other then getting her chakra seal she hasn't had much panel time lately either.
I'm not one to bash on chakra but its the truth sry

So I just woke up and read ***********’s version which luckily has bigger panels… have you guys noticed her hands stance?

You must be registered for see images


Her handsigns are no longer the previous ones… which were for healing.

You must be registered for see images


And we all know for what that is…

Oh, and please, no bashing. You know my hand doesn't hurt to use the report button.
Let's discuss civilized.


NOPE sakura will definitively get the CS mode!

CO*CK SU*CK mode ! she aint more worth!

I didn't know that this sage mode theory had a date stamped on it to come true??


Sasuke's summon was the first to go, now the frog, katsuya will probably soon follow. We didn't see her at all this week so we can't prove a thing.

All previous sages had to phiscally go and train in the respected places associated with their sage mode, sakura doesn't even know where the forest is. Just stop it already, please.

And how do you know that she doesn't even know where the forest is? You have any proof of that? Do you think that she made a contract with the Slugs just like that with no prior info? Please. You stop it.
