POLL: Is Sakura a shinobi?

[lndra]

I'm curious to what you guys think.

Honestly one of the definitions of fodder states: "Someone or something considered useful only for one particular purpose."

Now Sakura has has feats which make her a talented Medical shinobi, but in terms of actually being a ninja do you consider her being tactical in battle at all? I'll give you a prime example of 600+ chapters of development / Sakura fighting a shinobi.

If you see the picture: Madara doesn't move an inch, he literally raises the sword in the air as she jumped towards him. That doesn't sound like a shinobi at all. What do you guys think?

She was temporary immortal. She was an excellent diversion, however, she knew nothing of Madara's abilities, thus, she made an idiotic move. I can't blame her. She thought she was helping.

Ninja endured only thing she endured what that forhead for so long boyakaka

 

[To Whatever]

Sakura's a frontline Medic.

She isn't suited for fighting

Despite that, she's pretty lethal if she actually manages to hit you

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

Whats the point of this if you don't like her character?

Being strong physically =/= being a Shinobi.
Logically Kakashi would beat her in combat easily, he just wouldn't be able to tank a punch.

Pls my record is clear, unless they take questions seriously

Erm.. you can say that about alot of ninjas, you know. Naruto has rushed into battle recklessly countless of times, so has Sasuke.

Sakura is intelligent, but it's the truth she only showed tact in her fight against Sasori. I'm willing to bet that fighting with the Byaku-whatever makes you much more reckless (understandable, since you can just heal from most wounds).

That definition of fodder is horrible, though. Fodders aren't specialized in anything, they just exist to fill space, be a tool to show off another character's strength and generally get no focus at all. Sakura doesn't fit either of those criteria, so while i don't know about the shinobi part, i'm pretty sure she's no fodder.

She wasn't meant to land a decisive blow, just make it so that Madara had one less arm to spare.

The entire Sasori battle showed she was capable of using the resources at hand to pull the wool over the eyes of Sasori a few times and land decisive blows.

You can't really say not comparing to second strongest character in the entire series makes her not​ a shinobi.

How does not knowing your opponents move justified for running into a sword? That's out right plain stupidity.

Sakura isn't even good enough to be a nurse. She's good enough to be a house wife like shown in chapter 700 and waiting for her baby daddy to show up once a year.

I'm pretty sure Grandma Chiyo (spelling?) is the one that handled Sakura vs Sasori. Next.

In peace times.. Sakura's usefulness >>> Naruto and Sasukes.. Facts hurt i know.. but sadly thats the truth you have to live with.

Oh man that sucks. Thank God there is nothing wrong with this thread Lol

 

[BlacLord™]

Not throughout the whole battle and actually, Sakura herself suggested the moves to make when Chiyo was no longer fully capable of controlling.

And again, actually, Chiyo's primary focus was supporting Sakura and pulling her out of danger which failed once or twice, leaving Sakura to fend for herself.

Move on.

a medic>Hokage?

Did you somehow miss the "she was immortal" part?

Would you have honestly sat in place when pretty much only decapitation can kill you?

The fact is, Sakura was never shown to fight an opponent by herself. Like you said, Sakura was supporting the weight that Chiyo provided for her. Next, once again.

Some people don't learn :/

a medic>Hokage?

Hokage = temporary position for couple of years.

Medic = life time ability to help out people for the good.


A doctor > President... truth you must live with.

Alright bro I know you hate Sakura but she is only weak when compared to the likes of the top 10-20. Everyone else she can take.

From that scan she did not care about taking damage, her goal was a diversion (it was retarded)

She is essentially on par with Tsuande and people rarely consider her fodder

I just hate her as a character but saying she is weak or fodder is ignorant

Nah, if Naruto and Sasuke had done things right, that could've turned into a good diversion.
