Sakura had no clue what was going on. The only reason any Hyuuga even knew was due to the byakugan.

FOX...DIE!!!!!!

The difference with Hinata is that she had no intention of winning when she fought pain. It's not like she was like Okay imma jump in here and save the day. She expected to die. It's just She would rather die trying, than die crying on the ground like Sakura waiting for Naruto to figure it out. Hinata is basically following Naruto footstep, she has the will to not give up. During the fight with Kyuubi if Hinata didn't do what she did Naruto would have been captured and most likely tortured.

Also Hinata is no smart, but her byakugan that surpassed neji gives her cqc advantages so she pretty much pre-occupy the situation

Wow this post is so true. Lol

Sigh let me educate you again.

- You tried responding my post with illogical content. I was expressing the differences in between those characters of how side characters can't bridge the gap of the 3 main characters in character development. I mean look at Kiba, he would be owned by one Naruto clone at this point. You said Itachi and Shikamaru were different, when in turn you forgot those characters were leagues away from the normal side characters/main characters from the start.

- I still comprehand the English language better than what you have proven, you couldn't even answer a single post 4 pages ago. A spelling or grammar misplacement? Wow that shows my intelligence. Asking one question, and being mislead for four pages? Mhm, someone in here is wrong.

- I showcased Sakura's feats as we all know. Part One Sakura, is useless in battle. She could barely attempt to help her team-mates and her character development tried to change when she cut off her hair :l. I told you countless times already, I WANTED a discussion on how Sakura is a better character than Hinata.
No plot
Straight up dicussion
On how these characters are different and the same.

Both of them were considerably weak in Part one.
So how would Sakur fair against Neji?

Next is Part two where Sakura actually got development. Still the same girl mentally, in terms of battle.
How would she fair against Pain?

You don't understand what I'm trying to say, nor am I bashing the character. Hinata's feats in the manga come only to a certain point, while Sakura get's the plot development she deserves because she is one of the three main characters in the manga.

You couldn't even explain to me what made Sakura better than Hinata besides the simple fact of what was given to her in plot, when in fact the opponents that Hinata fought against during those time frames, Sakura would of lost too.

Yet here we are, still talking, and yet you are trying to prove something that was never there. Simple idiocy.

-Still condescending I see. Lel, my english is good enough, it's the 3rd language I've learned so yeah. It's pretty good is you take that into account.
-I was only talking about feats and facts, even you say that and yet you claimed to be the one talking about facts. You even said that I bashed Hinata (calling her fodder trash) while I never did. You even insulted me on several occasions far worse than I you. (If you can call that what I said insult)
-You want a discussion? Please make a thread yourself and don't go completely off topic in another one.

There is a simple answer to your question though and it has been already answered by someone else in a similar fashion: Because the creator wrote it this way. Why are Naruto and Sasuke so freaking strong? Because Kishi wanted it to be like this. Same goes for everything else in Naruto even battle smarts.

Sakura biggest strength when it comes to being smart in combat is her healing field. Sakura is only known to being smart when it comes to her studies mainly on Human Anatomy which healing is her prodigy.
The thread itself counters that.

Sakura isn't efficient in combat, she mostly had to deal with a way to defend herself but she also need to be in tactician and battle strategy wise which she's does not utilized in .
Also countered by the first post.
Only those who unlock the Hyakugou Seal can go in battle front line, and when she does, Sakura usually straight up being reckless, as such this really holds Naruto & Sasuke down when she try to act as a decoy yet she had no idea and got completely annihilated by Madara.
She went like that because she was the bait, Sasuke and Naruto were supposed to attack exploiting Sakura's regenerative techniques. Sasuke followed the plan but got countered by a Limbo, Naruto, ignoring Sakura's powers, went to rescue her. Nothing would have happened to Sakura, not if Madara was only going to stab her or push her away, that was the whole idea of using the seal, to serve as a shield or a diversion.
In almost every situation, Sakura always think herself trying to be useful by acting like she knows what she's doing but in the end she always cause herself in trouble.
Yup, getting saved is part of being the heroine. Every shounen has one.

Sakura is pale in comparison compare to Neji, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Kabuto and or Itachi.
Pale? I disagree about her being inferior to Sasuke or Kabuto when it comes to intelligence, even Naruto said she was better tactician than her. Of course Sasuke, got more panel time and more battles, so he got to show her intelligence more often, buy by hype and praises from other characters, Sakura is smarter.
Sakura may no be smarter than Shikamaru when it comes to battle feats, but she is when it comes to book smart feats.

Even Naruto who was considered to be the number #1 knucklehead is alot smarter than Sakura. Naruto always have tricks behind his sleeve and was able to overcome almost every opponents by being the most unpredictable ninja.
Naruto himself admitted she was better than him. But yes, by feats in the manga, since Naruto had many more fights and panel time, he has more feats than her in this or any area than any character actually...

Look. I'm aware you're not too fond of what zeref is saying here. But all in all he's right. People will place a heavier emphasis on the feats of characters they find more favorable. Does she have battle smart feats??? Sure...but..the thing is the entire premise behind the "feat system" is the it's meant to draw attention to accomplishments that characters had in comparison to their peers and whether or not they were able to exceed their peers. Sakura has accomplishments the problem is her accomplishments don't out number naruto's sasuke's kakashi's, itachi's madara's...the list goes on. Based on the fact that the feat system is utilized to determine a characters capacity to "neg diff" on the battlefield compared to their peers then yeah...sakura ranks pretty low on the list. And really her "battle smart feats" are not all that impressive because it was explicitly stated in the series she has smarts. That's what those battle feats are...battle smarts. But the problem is that her battle smarts didn't really a huge role compared to naruto's like in the ninja war. She healed people and that's nice..but the truth is naruto could heal people too after his power up so and again one of the purposes behind calling a "feat" a "feat" is that there's differentiation between the person and their peers.
I understand all that. Of course the men had more feats, and more relevant and flashy as always, this is a shounen for men readers after all.

My thread wasn't about making her look like the character with most intelligent feats in the manga or anything, I know she isn't. Characters like Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Itachi, etc had many more fights than Sakura, that gave them the chance of displaying the feats they have now. I only wanted to make people realize how many smart feats Sakura has, even if she only had one big fight to shine.

It's also true she was praised to be a smart character all along the manga. Naruto even said she was better tactician than Sesuke.

Here's what I am curious about now.

You must be registered for see images

If Kakashi said since she is a genjutsue type, so she could surpass her master. The real question is why did Kishi never make her learn any genjutsu?

Because he doesn't care about her . I'm not even trying to troll.

For four straight pages, and then some. We still couldn't have a conversation on it, which I understand. It's hard to answer this because the only reason is "plot". The only reason is "Kishimoto."

I tried to show you this for the past pages yet I'm being condescending? I might rub of that way but I never meant anything like that.

To point out one thing you said: Without Kishimoto in this - Sakura would lose to Neji, and Sakura would lose to Pain - Development and all.

I just wanted to show you/people that the characters aren't so different, that in fact Sakura only got to breach out because of plot, because of Kishimoto, but you told me I was illogical. See where I am getting at? This was never a hate post to begin with, it was always a discussion.

Anyway good talking to you ~

She's definitely battle smart, she knows to stand back while Naruto and Sasuke do the fighting.

Lol I know this. He has said this in her interviews. I think one time he said he did not know what to do with her? Still it makes me wonder why some people try to defend her thinking her hate is not justified?

The first image is an example of why she should stand back and do nothing, the second only happened because Kaguya was distracted, flew into her, and sucked.

He said he forgot all about her. Hell, there was an interview annouced for the 13th this month where Kishi will talk about his views on Sakura's character and why Neji died. It'll slay the Sakuratards .

How does this show he cares about her character ? THe dude has said he's fond of Choji and Hinata in separate occasions. That doesn't mean he cares for their characters Lol

People should hate Kishimoto then.
