Exactly what move did she make other than gritting her teeth and talking tough?Contrast that with what Kakashi and Jiraiya did.Also Asura Path was a weakling and taken out thricee (if I recall,once by Jiraiya,then by Kakashi and then by Naruto) and yet she couldnt defend herself against him
If I wanted to I could compare the lives Tsunade directly saves compared to Jiraiya and Kakashi but I am not going to as they all saved the village in a way. Tsunade didnt stand there and look pretty, she gave all her chakra to the villagers and saved their lives with Katsuyu.

Tsunade was supposed to take Asura out herself but Kishimoto changed it last minute to allow Pain all to Naruto. She could have reacted to it but Naruto was quicker.

No she was not, please show me a scan. She was not scared of Madara, she wouldnt be scared of Pain.

Being cut in half and being alive is not impressive to you? You have high standards sir.
Did you forget when Sakura forgot to breathe when she saw Madara? Every fodder gain courage with more screen time

That sums up your post for me. :p

I enjoyed the story. You are dissatisfied -that's your choice. *shrug*
You're a mod aren't you?

It's funny when a mod of NB tries to defend the most hated character in the manga XD Please don't waste your time defending Sakura, Kishimoto himself views Sakura as a joke

NO.

They said she had good character DEVELOPMENT.

Key word; Development.
A well developed character =/= the kind of development some were looking for ( not automatically).

It may be or it may not.

Good development =/= it was developed in to something good ( not automatically- it may be good in eyes of some, some maybe looking for a different end result)

@Bold: I don't understand what you mean by that. Care to elaborate?
It's basically, the exact same thing you told me for you liking Hinata's development;

Decent(?) Back-story. (I still don't get why this is factor, especially in this Manga)
Had a big fight.
Gained some semblance courage.

You told me this in the pairing thread.
So after reading what you said about Tsunade, I was able to remember you said the same thing for Hinata's development and I said to myself, "Ok, I get it. It explains so much."

My gripes:
> Sakura's character, behavior and development in chapter 699 was thrown away and out the window.
> Sasuke's sudden change in Sakura was rushed and awkward.

This isn't even about pairings. This is about how Sakura has no respect for herself and is still weak when it comes to Sasuke.

I agree with that.

Let me give an example of two characters who fit what I was trying to say;

Neji = Good Character/Poor Character development.
Obito = God Awful character/Decent Character development.

It's looks bad when Sakura does it. When Karin does it, it's funny.
.... You said it was bad for Karin though....?

She is a medical nin.What she did was not that impressive in the least.Thats the point which I am trying to make.Most of the females in this manga are made out as pairing fodder or given unimpressive roles of healing people.There is not a single bad ass female in this manga.Tsunade is a legendary sannin.Just saving villagers with Katsuyu aint gonna cut it.At least be aggressive and do something about this guy going about murdering people in the village like theres no tomorrow instead of just waiting for Naruto.Jiraiya and Kakashi took on the problem head on

Also her face when Asura attacks her says it all.She was a goner if Naruto hadnt saved her.Naruto got stronger than her with just a week of Sage mode training which is laughable

Kishi had done an interview in 2012 and these lines made me lol

"Next year I'll write about Kakashi first, then Sasuke, then Naruto."

"What about Sakura?!"

"Sakura will... well she's slipped my mind."

Your pretty much on the money here. But let me explain to you why I care about backstory.

Back story defines a character for me. It makes me understand them better for the actions they are about to partake. Its like meeting a person in real life. You say hi and bye to them. Till you get to know the person more better. You never really connect to them as deeply. For me in order to connect to a character deeply. I need to know there backstory. Hence why I feel its important for characters I like.
