Yet tsunade can save current kages and chiyo revived garra. And in blood prison naruto had a huge hole in him but was still healed.
That does not have anything to do with the story line..

Tsunade is med nin for decades, Sakura is med nin for around 3 years. Technique that Chiyo used to save Gaara was not a medical Ninjutsu. Currently Sakura is 3rd best med nin, after Tsunade and Shizune.
And in blood prison naruto had a huge hole in him but was still healed.
Movie = not canon = doesnt matter. Besides, Naruto, thanks to being Kyuubis Jinjuuriki, can survive woulds that would be fatal for normal people.

Meh Sakura does appear to have a role in the manga -to become either Sasukes or maybe Narutos trophy wife in the epilogue- I would have no problem with this (I am much less bothered by Hinata whose role in the manga is possibly the same for example) were it not for the fact that Sakura is actually a main character. This is a Shonen manga, love interests should be supporting characters, not main characters.

Abolish Hatred....

Close to it. :p This has turned into one of the major aspects, however, no, the biggest one is another one.
I'm just curious to see who has it right.

Which interview was that?

Few examples :

SJ: Sakura and Rock Lee don’t appear to have any of the special powers that ninja like Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara have – do you think those two characters are popular because they provide a kind of reader’s-eye view of the story as it unfolds?

MK: Is Sakura popular in the U.S.? Well, Lee only has taijutsu. And as a girl, Sakura is [physically] weaker than the others. So I can see why it’s easy to empathize with them. They represent human weaknesses.


Though this is from 2006 or something, but it obviously proves that Sakura isn't meant for any great power-ups. And it proves she isn't "liked" in Japan either, lol. Though she did overcome her greatest weakness in order to help Naruto.

Also this quote is a bit newer:

NC: We know a lot about Naruto, Itachi, Gaara and Kakashi, but does Sakura have dark secrets we don't know about yet?

MK: She's a normal girl, so I haven't given it much thought.


Also this suggests Tsunade will die:

Is Jiraiya dead?
Kishi : He lives.....in your heart.
Naruto has to be grown up. Shikamaru also needed to be grown up. And Sakura will have to be grown up, too. Lee? Lee doesn't need to be grown up anymore.


Though I did not find the one, where he specifically said that Sakura wont have the same role as Naruto, but am pretty sure I read it once. It's fairly new. I would say from last summer. But you can almost interpret from above anyway. Also the one, where Kishi laughs, when he is asked, if Sakura has higher possibility of becoming hokage before Naruto, can't find it though, but it is fun xd
The Japanese interviews are usually better, but need to find them translated on forums.

Sakura only chose to be a med nin because she wanted to stay out of fights.

Also, Naruto has surpassed Kakashi & Jiriaya and Sasuke surpassed kakashi & Jiriaya, but Sakura hasn't surpassed Kakashi OR Tsunade. She fails at being a ninja and always cries.
You dont have to bother to answer to my posts, since Im not going to anwer to someone who isnt making any sense.

Well she is supposed to be a main character but it's like kishi pushed her aside..but honestly idc U_U most Sakura threads are made just to get hottest thread or to start a flame war.

....Ill give it one more shot then......Teamwork is vital?

That no matter how small a role someone plays it effects the overall cause in a big way in the long run?

He asked if Sakura is popular in the US, he didn't suggested she is liked on the Japan. On the contrary, there, she represents feminine beauty.
And before saying that's Hinata, no, their typical female beauty is Sakura,s type, not so big-boobed and stuff like that.
Asian culture is different than Western culture.

Teamwork it is vital, indeed.
However, her role is, like you said, something on the long run.
But I'm not going to talk it here, since people don't even understand the manga they're reading.
At least, some of them.

Nope. That's Naruto's ninja way.
They share it, however, that's not the correct answer.

Feels like it is the message though :shrug:

Spend the whole series chasing Sasuke and how Naruto always talks about it

Like I said, it's one of the most important things, yes, however, not the entire message.
Hell, even Kishi said it himself, I am amazed no one remembers.

Even if you have a giant demon fox inside of you you can still go to school?

Lol, if it suits you, you can look at it this way.

I never mentioned beauty? Hinata obviously represents something else, and it was cleared, when she fought Neji, no need to discuss, what she represents. And now she finally gets, what she tried so hard her entire life. That is beauty in some way too.
And who like big unnatural boobs anyway? Only those who hasn't tried it, and watches too much porn...

I am simply assuming that it is a question, you would only ask, if you were in doubt. And I would believe he is in doubt, since she probably isn't/wasn't very popular in Japan. Besides she was extremely pathetic for the entire part 1, which would explain it.
