Sakura is one of my favorite characters after this chapter

[SonictheHedgehog]

she "earned it"?? it was an asspull by kishi to get that powerup in the first place

By this logic, all characters who have been training for 3 YEARS that have improved are asspulled.

 

[AnimeFanGirl4Eva]

Did Sakura start off with a tailed beast, a hokage for a father and an uzumaki for a mother? No.
Did Sakura start off with magic eyes and a brother who dedicated his life to upgrading them? No.
Did Sakura have some a dying friend gift her one of the most powerful doujutsu in the manga? No.
Did Sakura learn her techs overnight with a shadowclone plot device? No.
Did Sakura have her body augmented with Hashi-DNA? Was she revived in edo form? Did she say 'well I don't have any bonus powers I'll just be weak." No, no and NO.

Sakura literally studied, trained and earned every skill that she had over three years. While naruto and the rest of k11 were screwing around she became OP by her own hard work and effort.

could be beat any of the top ten? no. but she earned her powers unlike most of the main characters at her age.

sakura is narutos answer to nejis question.

^ Agreed. She came from nothing, was nothing, and then made herself into something. People say 'She's a failure, it was an asspull move kishi made giving her powers' Really? She trained with Tsunade for 3 years and we NEVER saw the training, who knows what happened during that time, and they have the audacity to say she still 'sucks' It's only common logic. Afterall the manga, last time I checked, is called 'Naruto' they aren't going to give 2 cares to show what Sakura did in 3 years. When Hinata learned her Twin Lion Fists, was that an 'asspull' since we didn't see her learn it? I don't think so.

Personally, I feel all the people who 'hate' her are Hinata fans (MAJORITY, not all) and are jealous of the fact she had such and upgrade from last time and has now a bigger role in the plot. Sakura is a healer at most, last time I checked, healing saves lives. People wonder why she never fights, calling her useless. Tsunade even said when fighting Madara was that ONE of her rules when training her diciples is that the 'Medic must be LAST to die' in otherwords, must be kept safe obviously, or you'll loose your medic. Why send a medic in to fight? It's like sending in a fighter to do a medics job. More comon sense. Now, she was trained in the art of healing as well in combat to help further progress her comrades if needed. It's Kishi's fault for making Sakura the way she was. Now, it seems he is trying to make up for it, and just when she is beginning to be useful, the hate begins all over. 'Asspulls, asspulls everywhere!' Pretty pathetic really.

Imo, she DID come a long way, DID learn alot for a nobody and is now finally trying to live up to her title 'heroine' that Kishi screwed up for her. Wether people hate on her for her personality or looks, I don't know, considering every hate post I read is that she is 'useless' personally to me, she improved 10 fold from the begining.

 

[Fanta]

Nobody seems to realize that this is Sakura's base power.

She was using alot of her chakra to store it into her head so she couldn't use her normal power. She isn't even using that chakra in the seal right now because the seal isn't released yet.

 

[Erin]

So what's your point? This is what I said. Did I said that when she was training she was training for the seal..lmao... I was talking about in overall, that she was training, can't you read? She was training + she was collecting half of her chakra to seal. One thing that you don't understand is that THE SEAL WON'T APPEAR UNTIL IT'S FULL, it's not something that appears whenever you want, look what happens with Tsunade's seal, it appears only when it is full of chakra. Sakura finished her creating the seal, now it's full of chakra, when she releases the seal and uses up all chakra it will dissappear but this time it will reappear when she gets enough rest and food, which means it won't take long anymore, just like for Tsunade.

1. Nope, you said power ups, and her only power up was clearly the new strength seal, look at what you said.
If you where talking about overall, you would still be wrong, since she received her other power up before she said those things.

Spoiler

Sakura's power-ups were foreshadowed long ago, around chapters where Naruto,Sakura and Sai came back from taking Sasuke back Sakura was training you can see it from her talking she even mentions that Naruto should go to train, later on chapters where Kakashi was at clinic yet again Sakura mentions training. On her free time she is in library learning new things and training. People don't make yourselves look stupid, re-read manga or something if you cannot comprehend with story. :vincent:

Even if she sealed half of her chakra every once in a while, like you assume she did, that still isn't training.

2. Lol calm down, I never said anything about the seal disappearing, or appearing, and it has nothing to do with anything I've said on this thread.

 

[AnimeFanGirl4Eva]

So now we're hyping sakura by blaming her poor genes? Well screw me sideways and call me sam, shouldn't this be done to Lee? He's the REAL hard worker.

Oh, I agree fully, I just find it odd that he so happens to be mia when they need him the most...so much for his hard work training.

How is it wrong? Her power ups were foreshadowed I don't know, like in chapter 5? Covers with her having Slug, her having axe which indicates strenght, her being a "second-Tsunade", and then her talking about training, such as "Something like this, you can't learn it from books". I really don't know what you're trying to prove. She was obviously training on her free time, when Naruto asked her on date and she replied "You should go train ninjutsu or something" at that time she just came out of library where she improves her intelligence. So anyway what's your point, are you trying to say that she wasn't training,lmao. Either your english is so bad that you can't explain your point or you have no idea what you're talking about.

what has lee reaped from his efforts exactly?

Uhhh....

Did Lee start off with a tailed beast, a hokage for a father and an uzumaki for a mother? No.

Did Lee start off with magic eyes and a brother who dedicated his life to upgrading them? No.

Did Lee have some a dying friend gift him one of the most powerful doujutsu in the manga? No.

Did Lee learn his techs overnight with a shadowclone plot device? No.

Did Lee have his body augmented with Hashi-DNA? Was she revived in edo form? Did he say 'well I don't have any bonus powers I'll just be weak." No, no and NO

Did Lee have a Sannin for a teacher? No

Did Lee have access to Ninjutsu? No

Did Lee have access to Genjutsu? No

Did he give up after having his bones crushed and told to give up? No

Did he fight against the strongest Genin who had an ultimate defenst? Yes

Did he breach said ultimate defense? Yes

Did he have his power copied because of its lethal factors? Yes

Did Lee move faster than pretty much everyone while wearing extreme training weights? Yes

Did Lee go out and fight a powerful enemy to rescue Sasuke despite JUST BEING HEALED? Yes


Despite all of that, with pure hard work alone, Lee is easily one of the strongest of his age....and to be honest could probably still beat Sakura with High Difficulty. In addition, he has the physical strength to be able to use the 8 Gates and recover from it.

Pretty damn badass to me.

*sigh* I'm done, i've explained this to you almost 5 times now, your ignorance is blinding you.

I'm only responding in accordance to your original post, extra information you bring up later doesn't matter, because your original post (red) was what I said was wrong. Even later on, in your backing of that post, you failed to prove yourself correct. You continue to fall farther away from the original topic. I'll restate my original point, since you seem incapable of grasping it.

Sakura completing the seal was not foreshadowed by her training, in which you gave examples from dialogue from sai, naruto and sakura. The only way you could argue it was being foreshadowed was in the parallelism between the sannin and team 7, which was not in your original post. A simple re-explanation would have sufficed, yet you let your ignorance rule you. Anyway, i'm done, since you couldn't grasp the simple point I was making.

I agree. He is the most skillful. Though, shame he is absent from the war :/

 

[DJKS]

Lee is there to show real efforts

This. If there is any character who has seemingly worked their ass off, it's Lee. The amount of dedication this guy has is also admirable.

Sakura may not have come from a powerful clan, but she still had the privilege of being trained under a Sannin. She and the rest of Team 7 had privilege and are main characters to boot. Lee, with all the obstacles he's faced, is the real hard worker.

 

[ILikeBigYolos]

Sakura is useless

 

[Anorien16]

Oh, I agree fully, I just find it odd that he so happens to be mia when they need him the most...so much for his hard work training.

'Distance makes the heart grow fonder' ..... Kishi may be setting up big thing for Team Gai as Neji himself was part that team....

While Sakura has indeed been impressive recently and deserves her well earned applause, but none the less her power ups was a bit rushed and badly timed. For a simple comparison: Imagine Naruto suddenly appearing with SM on the battle field without all the training and hardships shown ...... Wont that appear rushed?

Also you guys are spitting on the hard work of other K11 ......

1. Sasuke managed to mastered the great fireball jutsu (A justsu that marks Uchiha adulthood) at the age of 6-8 before he awoke sharingan. Not to mention he manged to train himself well enough to reach base Lee's speed on a short term's basis in only 1 month.... he can copy techniques but can he copy speed or physical fitness? Dont say he isnt a hard worker.

2. Yes Naruto had a Kurama, but until recently Kuru was a monster which was continuously trying to claw its way of Naruto or corrupt his thought and required a significant amount of Naruto's chakra to suppress all the while ruining his chakra control. U have to admire how he didnt give in to the hate.... Plus did naruto use clones to master SM and all related techs? No he mastered it on his own despite the lil fox inside him disturbing him.

3. Rock Lee .... nuff said. But then again: He cant mould chakra properly yet he was one of the best in Chunin exam.... it may not be shown yet... but he may be even stronger now.

4. Neji: Yeah he was born with Byakugan but he was born to Branch family curse too ..... no one taught him 64 palms or rotation which are techniques passed down the main bloodline.... but yet he developed them on his own at 12 year old age.

5. Ino: Totally overlooked but can u imagine the amount of chakra control it takes to connect the mind of the entire Shinobi alliance?

6. Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji: Yeah they have clan specialty but those techniques are learned abilities not immediate freebies .....

7. Hinata, Shino: They had it easier but Shino too is talented and Hinata is a hard worker too despite her failures.

Lmao... how many times do I have to tell you where the fck I mentioned the seal part in the part where she is with naruto and sai? In that part I was talking that she is training, and that by training it is foreshadowed that she is going to get a power-up. What the hell is wrong with..

Nope, because storing chakra isn't training, the training she did then was long after she had completed training for the seal.

[Murasame]

Sasuke is OP = Itachi's MS

Naruto was literally given his "OP" power by his dad

What was Sakura given? She only received training. O_x. Don't know why you made that reply *_*

You're one of the reasons I joined this site.. because of your idiotic comments. True Naruto was given Kurama but did it do him any good? No it held him back plus he had to put his life on the line to master it by fighting Kurama himself. Naruto wasn't given anything that he didn't have to train or master for.

Did Itachi solo Nagato? Yes.
Did Itachi solo Kakashi? Yes.
Did Itachi solo Deidara? Yes.
Did Itachi solo Orochimaru 2x? Yes.
Did Orochimaru solo Kurenai? Yes
Did Itachi solo Asuma? Yes.
Did Itachi Izanami Kabuto? Yes.
Did Hashirama say Itachi was a better Shinobi than him? Yes
Was Obito scared of Itachi? Yes.
Is Itachi Solo King? Yes.

Is the FAP strong with this one? Yes.

[GodaimeRaikage]

What a bunch of whiny *****es.Stop crying about Sakura power up because she definitely had to train for them.And even with that said, Sakura skill level still isn't where it should be base on here skill level in part one and logical growth.Sakura had intelligence on the level of a jonin and the chakra control to match as a genin.She is a natural genjutsu users with analytical abilities that impressed high ranking shinobis.But to this point, she hasn't shown a mastery of any Nature element, which is illogical base on her intelligence and chakra control and No genjutsu, which is ridiculous because she's a natural genjutsu type who could dispell an A-rank genjutsu as a genin.Kishi completely failed in the power and skill development of Sakura base on his own initial characterization of Sakura.

 

[Erin]

This stupidity.. it must be a talent.

lol, you just don't want to face the fact that you were wrong. Lol whatever, ignorance is bliss.

 

[thatsAslap7]

Ninjas who have improved greatly from scratch are Rock Lee and Sakura.
Those who implied Hinata, Danzo, or any other character other than Rock Lee or TenTen have poor argument.
Hinata is part of a clan and was born with Kekkei genkai. Though she was considered weak in the beginning, she still had something she can develop to become stronger. Sakura and Lee had nothing and had to find their own strength on their own.
Danzo had all those Sharingans implanted on him.

People saying that Sakura received training from Tsunade also have poor argument.
Yes, Sakura was trained under Tsunade but so was Shizune. A teacher's best ability is to teach but the strength and determination to succeed the master is all in the will of the decipel.

Sakura Haruno had nothing special. She didn't come from a special clan that has a bloodline of a certain jutsu nor did she have Kekkei genkai that she can develop and strengthen through out time. She studied for her intelligence and worked to increase her ability to control/mold chakra.
