lol this is exactly what i've been talking about , you can only give me what she did recently & what about the rest of the series & i don't need to know she is a medic , I've known that since the beginning of shippuden .
Okay and dont quote me on this, or I'll kill you all! :devil: :|
In the beginning she was a mere plot device for the development of naruto and sasuke, she played the role of the damsel in distress so that they could have something to fight for, and power up wouldn't be random, and also served as a cute comedic relief.
However she was also the proverbial fairy in the game for the group. She was Kishi's conduit of interacting with the character and telling them things, which is why she was so smart and is seen explaining a lot of things.
Kishi failed with her Genjutsu angle, though it did explain her uncanny chakra control and intelligence to be a gennin.
Her fight with Ino gave her more depth and gave us a feel for why she was so hot headed and mean towards Naruto. She was bullied and she is trying to fit in all while being her own person, she is afraid to get close to Naruto in fear of what other may think of her...though she secretly feels for him.
She was vital to Sasuke development in part 1 too, and she was needed to fill the gap in his heart.
But in part 2 she was very very useful, not only to her team but to the plot...
