The FIVE lies about Sakura Haruno

[Keimil]

I made this thread to prove what many people say about Sakura is inaccurate, incomplete, out of context or just wrong.
In this thread I will start from single statements users often post in threads about the main heroine, without taking into account the events that happened in the series.

1) First and more common:

"Sakura is useless"

Spoiler

Maybe, in the first part of the series, when she only was able to stand with a kunai, use Kawarimi and Bunshin no jutsu, so in battle she was just a open target waiting to be killed by the enemy, or saved by one of her teammates, being relevant only in written tests and breaking genjutsu.

But that stayed in the past, Sakura became a Medical Ninja, she inherited her master's healing techniques, her strength and will of fire. To defend my point of her being useful in the story, I'll show you some scans many people seem to forget.
So, here is Sakura healing from main characters to irrelevant villagers:

Secondly, Sakura has hadn't many fights during the series, however, in most of the fights she did took part, she had been told she is excellent Kunoichi, from both enemies and allies. So I decided just to show all the times she was praised during part 2:

Conclusion:
In what universe this is useless to you people?? Don't mind, I don't care, in Narutoverse is pretty obvious what they think of her, and all her accomplishments, so the opinion of some random Naruto's fans lacks of relevance to me... Just keep in mind that the manga thinks other way than yours

2) A stupid and shallow one:

"Sakura is ugly"

Spoiler

This is just a personal opinion, unfortunately, there is no way to counter this... But it is important to realize how many people have been attracted to Sakura in the series:

So, inside Narutoverse, except for Sai (xD), Sakura is not ugly, and again, it is fine for me.

3) A lie repeated by fanboys, stay as a lie:

"Sakura is as strong as Naruto or Sasuke"

Spoiler

No, she isn't!
Sakura has become stronger??

Spoiler

Yes, she did, but that is good enough to be at the same level as her teammates?? No, It doesn't.
Lets list up Team 7's Offensive skils:

• Sasuke, has lots of Raitons and Katons, Enton, and all the techinques Sharingan can do (advance genjutsu, Susan'o, Amaterasu, etc)

• Naruto has Kage Bunshin, multiple Rasengans differently sized, FRS, Sage Mode, Bijuu Mode, Kurama Mode (or whatever it is called).

• Sakura has Chakra Enhanced Strength, Katsuyu Acid. PERIOD.

So no, she is not as strong as them. However, it is true she has some support skills none of her teammates have, and obviously i am talking about healing.
Fighting is not the only way of the Shinobi, there are a lot of ways to to contribute in Narutoverse. Either Sensor, Telepath, Medic, Super Tracker Nose, Tactician, etc, are valid ways of support.
So maybe, Sakura being the second best Medical Shinobi in the five nations, she could be close to her teammates's level, not in terms of offensive power, but in usefulness.

4) A pretty unfair one...

"Sakura is the only one in team 7 that will not surpass her master"

Spoiler

False, this was predicted since episode 2 from part 2 for very qualified Shinobis:

5) Last but not least:

"Despite being the heroine of the series, Kishimoto original didn't intend to have Sakura become the heroine, saying on occasions that he sometimes has a hard time viewing her as one, and attributes this to lack experience and him being unable to draw good heroine characters but grew fond of Sakura nonetheless. During the 2010 interview many who work with Kishimoto have stated Hinata would have made a better heroine than Sakura, however, Kishimoto said that despite not being portrayed like one Sakura would be showing a more heroine side of her from then on."

Spoiler

This is a part of Sakura's Wiki. I have found in several sites that this is completely false, and that the proper translation of what Kishi said would be:

周りからヒロインらしくないとかヒナタのほうがヒロインだとか言われているがやはりサクラは自分の中でヒロインなんで、これからヒロインっぽい所見せる」

I have been told by other people*that Sakura isn't acting like a heroine, or that Hinata is more of a heroine than her, but if I think of it Sakura really has the strength of a heroine inside her, and from here on out she’s ready to show it, too.

I am not entirely sure of this is true, but given the fact I found it in several sites, i assumed it was, sue me.
However, I will take it back if someone can prove me it is wrong.

 

[Asu Be]

She's 1, 2, and 4.

agreed. lmao your sig XD

 

[Ayame Uchiha]

You're right about all your points but.....I still don't like Sakura >.>

 

[Gerkak]

Not bad. The reason people say those things is because people like her. she dosen't seem to be main heroin material imo.

 

[Optimistic]

Kishi's eraser > Sakura's ass > Hinata's boobs

 

[Aomine]

I hate sakura. I really dont know why lol.. She cries way too much and after i saw her personality in part 1 i always told myself, a bch will always be a bch xD she has a big forhead & shes really annoying.

 

[Sasukenumberonelover]

Merpp .. Kinda agree u_u

 

[LORD TAPATIO]

Excellent work. I don't like her as a character but you had great points

 

[Lazerus Eks]

These are right but, the only way she'd be able to kill Naruto is if she'd sucker punch him with her full strength

 

[Lazerus Eks]

Kishi's eraser > Sakura's ass > Hinata's boobs

Hinata boobs bigger then sakura a$$
she don't have one

 

[take it easy]

anyway i hate her ugly character.

 

[Keimil]

She's 1, 2, and 4.

I posted all kind of evidence (manga facts) to prove she isn't in 1 and 4 (2 is just a personal opinion).
How do you back up your point?

 

[Guntah]

Ok, good for you, but i dont think that will change Narutobases opinion on Sakura :|

 

[Keimil]

I give zero shits what a Medical Ninja can do in a Shonen manga, not to mention that she hasn't surpassed Tsunade yet.

I didn't say she has surpassed her yet, i said that eventually she will...
Good, If you really cannot see how relevant that kind of support can be to the story, there is no point discussing with you

Ok, good for you, but i dont think that will change Narutobases opinion on Sakura :|

I don't care, I already said it, they can have their opinion, Narutoverse thinks differently, and that's what really matters, not random haters's opinion with no back up at all...

 

[uchihajaime]

1. for a main character, she does not have sufficient feats. Saying she is useless is a bit of an overstatement but it is partially true.
2. valid though having pink hair is kind of weird.
3. I agree. Sakura is no where near the level of Naruto and Sasuke.
4. I see no evidence to suggest she has suprassed Tsunade, whereas Naruto and Sasuke have long since surpassed their Sannin masters. She has skills similar to Tsunade but hasn't surpassed her. I doubt she's surpassed Kakashi. Perhaps she will in the future. However, with the speed that Naruto is wrapping up, I doubt Kishimoto will spend much time having her surpass Tsunade.
5. Okay, but the problem is she hasn't shown it. She has potential but really displays it.

 

[Joshutsu]

This thread won't change any of their opinions on her, even though you posted the proof in black and white. They will always hold onto the hate towards said character. Just like the rest of us you might as well move on and enjoy sakura as a character with the thousands of fans that do as well.

Finally some1 with some brains on this base...

1) She is the female main character, she will always have less feats than the men, Shounen manga principal readers are men, and believe it or not, it is not profitable to make an outstanding female heroine that can kick asses at the same level that the hero. Even though, I think she has had enough accomplishments (feats) to deserve that Naruto fans stop calling her useless, but that is quite unlikely...

2) There are all kind of weird hair in Naruto, in anime actually.

3) Agreed.

4) I never said that she has already surpassed her, I said she will, and i back it up with Kakashi, Chiyo and Hashirama predictions shown in the manga.

5) Aparently, the author thinks other way...

Thanks I agree with you.

Finally some1 with some brains on this base...

Thank you!

 

[-Phoënix Flower-]

There's no point really..no one wants to change their opinions about her U_U
Though I agree with all those points...good job

 

[Bijuu Bomber]

I respect your opinions, but these kinda threads won't change peoples minds about her..
