A writer cannot focus on every character. She was never the focus of the story. Same goes for the other characters. I would say she isn't as talented as Tsunade. Firstly, she mastered good Chakra Control because her chakra pool was so small. It was tiny. But still it took her three years to make the Byakugo seal.

Secondly, she never created any variants out of it, whereas Tsunade invented this Regeneration tech (not the seal). Thirdly, she invented no Jutsu on her own. Sasuke is way out of her league here. Even Naruto invented something, albeit with a lot training and Kurama crutches. But, he did it anyway. He also learnt Sage Mode. Again, with Kurama's aid, but he learnt it regardless.

So, compared to Tsunade, she does seem a tad bit average as Tsunade mastered Chakra Control with a Large Chakra Pool. She never had that.

I'll say this before I got back to dying(studying). She is suppose to be the third main character but she comes off more as a side but whateves.What's done is done.

I am not sure if many kids here know this, but there is no such thing as three main characters in any plot. You can say she's a prominent character. But, she's a side-character nonetheless. She always was.

Idk because when I watched Yu Yu Hakasho and Yusuke and his friends all seems like main character if you ask me.

A main character is someone that is connected to the plot in more ways than one. It would take ages to explain this, but to put it simply, depending upon the narrative scheme, a main character either pushes the plot consistently and persistently or the plot moves ahead of him and concerns him/her. His connection to causality matters a lot. Sakura doesn't fit any of these aspects. In fact, even Naruto doesn't. But, that is a different debate.

Anyhow, there can never be several main characters. I haven't read any novel/play/epic where there was more than one min character. Other characters can be prominent, but they will be side characters regardless.

I kinda felt like Sasuke was the driving focus for Naruto's plot but in some forms of literature their is something called "protagonist deuteragonist and tritagonist".

He is. Take Sasuke out and there is literally no plot at all. Sasuke creates every single causality in one way or another. That is more of character types. A plot can function on its own without the character playing any sort of role in its movement.

Like the plot legit went from Sasuke to Hinata and back to Sasuke. It's kinda sad to be honest.

Well, I am a Sasuke fan, so I have no issues with him driving the plot.

That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. If you're talking about the Naruto who used FRS on kakuzu...

Sakura would kill him unless he went 3 Tails or something and even then she basically fought a 3 tails if you factor in the fact that 6 tail was fabricated in her novel...

SM caps for her though SM Naruto is not weak at all. He could take down 3rd raikage with just SM and so yh

Hello everyone :)

Sakura is one of my favourite characters and I think she is on par with her teammates.
The reason is because even if Naruto and Sasuke got more power from other sources, Sakura trained hard to get on their level.

1) Naruto and Sasuke would have never been able to kill Kaguya if it wasn't for Sakura and her healings on the battlefield aswell as her strong punch. Even damaging Kaguya puts her above most other shinobis. Same goes for Kakashi

2) Why make Sakura weaker than her teammates? Team 7 is the main team after all :)

Conclusion: Sakura is stronger than the majority of Shinobis and on par, or rather, almost as strong as Naruto and Sasuke

She doesn't have destructive powers close to them but her regenerative powers makes her formidable

Sakura is not, has not, and never will be on par with Naruto or Sasuke.

She sure strong, stronger than any Kunouchi(even-though Tsunade can rival her) but to says she on equal footing with Naruto and Sasuke needs you to seek a help from a Doctor.
