Kishi can't write female characters, he's even said this

She's too weak in character for me, she should have been able to let go of Sasuke, it just seems like she: has no self-respect, is masochistic and strangely quite creepy in some ways.

Idk why Kishi continues to use these dated tropes even after two powerup he continues to portray Sakura as emotionally weak little girl that depends on Naruto and yes he's definitely no making her a genjutsu type after this.

it's not only women,each character that kishimoto forced to have an out of blue care for sasuke no matter what he does,ruined them completely,even orochimaru didn't escape that.

Orochimaru was done in part 1 man. His time was over, only his fans kept hanging on the thought of him as the final villain. He was going to revert into the "Wise teacher" mode someday.

How would Sakura get more development than Kakashi? She didn't have an evil childhood friend who she thought was dead this whole time.
Do you want her to suddenly be a senju or something?
development = sad backstory...

No clue why those 2 things are put together.

She's too weak in character for me, she should have been able to let go of Sasuke, it just seems like she: has no self-respect, is masochistic and strangely quite creepy in some ways.

^^^^^^^ Hence why this chapter just sent all her mental/character development she gained through harsh training with Tsunade (according to the databook) into trash....... Shes again relying on NAruto.......

lollllll yea dude that was toooo ugly to read.

Sakura = Genjutsu type (able to detect genjutsu and etc), PLUS the best chakra control in the manga (tied with tsunade i guess. )

Yet shes helpless against Genjutsu, when kishimoto himself put in the manga that it can be broken via disrupting your chakra, but if the best people in chakra control can't do it.... then who the hell can loll.

I know, I wish Naruto did females like Avatar did, actually making strong and complex female characters (like Katara) whereas Naruto has chicks like Sakura (useless Sasuke fangirl) and Hinata (much as I love her, she's basically Sakura, but for Naruto).

Don't forget TOPH!! =D

I had high hopes in kishimoto developing Sakura into a "Female role-model". But his trolling regarding her character and inconsistency regarding her just makes it annoying to keep defending her.

How could I forget Toph? Though I think all of their female characters are brilliantly written (I realized it when I noticed I thought of Katara as less of a female character, and more of a character that happens to be female). Sakura, when I started shippuden, I had high hopes for her, and it had high hopes again when she kicked ass during the war...and then Kishi needed her and reverted her back to Good Ole' Useless "Sasuke-kun" Part 1 Sakura.

Whats more funny is the team 7 teacher has more screen time then the main female character. I'm not even getting the logic kishimoto used here. Against Kaguya or Madara was the perfect chance to give her battle feats and development.

(I know you are an obito fan and i don't mean anything rude by what i'm about to say. ) Kishimoto made Obito, a villain, more important than Sakura and gave him better development and screen time than her, while on the other hand he wants the readers to think shes relevant as much as to team 7 like others WTF.... Lolll.

Well, Obito, I can understand, like, I think of the Ten Tails Revival Arc as somewhat like the Star Wars Original Trilogy, while it was about Naruto transforming into NARUJESUS (like Luke becoming a jedi) it was also about Tobi becoming Obito yet again and getting redeemed. Though, I see your point, at least Star Wars made Leia friggin badass, and she wasn't even a jedi, Sakura? Kakashi is more important than her...HOW, KAKASHI IS THE TEACHER, HELL, JIRAIYA IS DEAD AND IS STILL MORE IMPORTANT, WTH KISHI, seriously, GIVE HER SOME DEVELOPMENT, SOME SCREEN TIME, SOMETHING OF VALUE!
