Sakura...

[King Of Crows]

lol Are you purposely trying to twist my words and suit yourself or you are naive enough to be really missing the point?

She is the lead character for Naruto as a character which connects the team Kakashi. She is the one who is there consistently for all her teammates as long as they let her be. Beyond that Kishi didn't feel the need to detail it. It's his story not mine. So fine by me.

I am not hung up with a personal idea of how a heroine should/must be. Not all stories demand a strong presence of male/female character. When I feel like reading strong female characters I would pick something else.

You misunderstood me I think .____.

Of course she is a main character, there is no denying that. From what we have seen from her, in terms of abilities and overall calibre, is that she is more of a support character . . . I suck at wording this :NO: ( Basically she is a main character with a support character's development ? Best way I could put it )

OK. I can agree to that- about her not being much more extra ordinary than rest of Konoha 11. But then comes the next question-

Development how? What were you expecting her to be given her initial attributes? What do you think could have been added to her character? To what purpose? Are you talking about fighting abilities, or emotional? Was she to replace Shikamru? Exactly what Kishi could do with her differently?

People complain because Sasuke is still missing from the battle field. They don't like that we have yet to see the kages and Kabuto. Do you really think we should have chapters dedicated to Sakura among all this? Just to show that she is badass but no real advancement for the story?

Why not? Kishimoto took the time to spare a couple of chapter to give Hinata some development. He even went to the lengths of killing Neji to do it.

_@: So many questions .....

Anything could have easily been added to her over the time skip. For instance, she was said to have the potential to be amazing at genjutsu, and yet she has none :| In part 1 Naruto she could have made a steady progression like Sasuke and Naruto. Yet she was only in two fights and just ended up complaining for the majority of the time. In the chuunin exam arc she was actually useful, but after it she is back to being the same where as Sasuke and Naruto have progressed


No one is replacing Shikamaru

Sakura is a human we all get it but come on, In part 1 she was USELESS as hell, in Part 2 at the beginning she was really cool in my eyes but after Sasuke Vs danzo fight that she thought she could handle the situation about sasuke, killing him, she couldn't do it because she love sasuke, after that i just closed my internet browser, turned my computer off and took a walk, sakura is just.....USELESS!

 

[Animeniak]

I was talking about whether she lives up to the calibre of what could be considered a main character. Since she does not, and never will, my dislike of her remains justified and does not boil down to some psychological reasoning

Best way to put it...

So it's lack of fighting abilities which annoys you. Even if she would develop her gainjutsu abilities - of what use she would have been? She cannot top Itachi or Sasuke or other sharingan users obito or Madara.

Kakshi said she could be good at it because of her chakra control. Medical skills also need perfect chakra control and Sakura opted for it. She at least could help Konoha and it's alleys using her skills as a medical nin. I don't know how useful her genjutsu would have been seeing the type of genjutsu power top villains in naruto have had. Can you tell one situation where it would have been handy if she knew it?

Again- what would it add to the plot of the story itself if she knew an extra jutsu or two?

If she killed Sasuke - what would Naruto do?Sasuke fans would have lynched Kishi.

So you're saying that if kishi had made sakura killed sasuke, sasuke fanboys dickrider could do something to him? i doubt it. But in the future he will die, i promise you that.

It would have at least been better than her going: " *grunt* Sakura smash ! "

No need to talk disparagingly about any fan base.

But seriously could you yourself digest if after all his training and search for truth he would have been killed abruptly just like that by Sakura? Without actually achieving anything but the title of the biggest loser if he died that way without adding anything to story beyond killing Iachi and Danzou?

I Know I would have been highly disappointed and felt cheated.

True but everything related to sakura development went to trash right in that moment.

It's her thing. Uchihas rely on genjutsu. It's their thing. lol.

I wouldn't mind her having something more but I am not much fond of unnecessary fight scenes and added bits if they are not forwarding the story. So I get along fine with Kishi's writing most of the times.

I just want Edo Hashirama to arrive to the battle Madara's unrequited love for him will make for an interesting play out

 

[I Sun I]

Sakura needs screentime when ever she have a lot she become great like sasori arc (never gets old)

Ps Why most mods are wise ? I never seen a hater mod .

Sakura may not be capable of killing Sasuke in cold blood but she still got to make her point. That she would rather die in an attempt to kill him instead of insisting for his return "no matter what" was made crystal clear. Naruto is not going to be a price for her to be paid for Sasuke.

She freed Naruto of his promise - not when she made that debatable statement to him about her love. She did it when she put herself out there in front of Sasuke as a target. She tried to attack Sasuke and made him an opponent then and there for the whole team 7 in the process.

I know that scene can be interpreted differently by some but that's how I see it.

lmao..

Let's agree on it and forget about this whole silly Sakura argument.

 

[DJKS]

I wonder how much you guys are going to complain if you ever get to read The Vanity fair.. It has two heroines and practically no hero- none is good enough to take that place.

I loved it BTW.

So she's not a "main heroine" because of "Vanity Fair"?......

 

[King Of Crows]

lmao..

I will forget everything EVER ! !

( I totally agree ..... On whatever it is we are agreeing on ( I have no idea ) )

 

[BlueStarSaber]

Well she still alive and she is showing up in manga lately, (yes I know it's mainly showing her worring about naruto and healing him, but it's still better than nothing and what's inportant is that she is there right now) this might be kishi forshadowing that sakura will have something to do when taka and the hokages finaly apear (if combat most likely surport medic and maybe a few punches, or for delevolpment coming to terms with her feelings for sasuke and naruto I'm guessing).

Also does anyone think that kishi is try to tease naruhina and narusaku fans into a shipping war by showing sakura mainly worring about naruto, or showing both sakura and hinata around naruto on the same page in the last two chapters?

 

[Zee Seh]

Vanity Fair is not a manga but a classic novel by W. M. Thackeray. ~_~

_@: Well watever it is .. i just dont have enough time fr my all other book.. got spare time only fr NARUTO.. =D

Well USELESS is not the apt word fr her.. seems like everyone reading the manga got kishi wrong.. :dunno: actually that scene meant entirely different frm wat u interpreted ... but still thnx fr postin views =D

Best way to put it...

Lol people frm ADVANCED ANTI SAKURA UNIT...

I just want Edo Hashirama to arrive to the battle Madara's unrequited love for him will make for an interesting play out

Stop the GAY show already... Lol

Sakura needs screentime when ever she have a lot she become great like sasori arc (never gets old)

Ps Why most mods are wise ? I never seen a hater mod .

simple cuz they are mods... if mods will be biased then the whole NB will become a battlefield of the fanboys/girls and also not to forget the trollsters.. Lol

@ IRA thnxx fr postin in this thread... supported my cause well.... =D
