Nah, he didnt listen to them for 630 chapters why now?Kishimoto is only doing this because Radical Feminists are bribing him.
Yeah, the odd thing is that weve seen her fight so rarely that despite apparently having a knack for it, she was never shown to cast genjutsu. It could have been a useful backup to naruto nd sasukes brawling style of fighting.Seriously she had potential especially as Tsunade's desciple
She should have had Slug Summons
Byakugou
Be able to use genjutsu effectively, she has always had good chakra control
Had a nature release etc.
Just the little stuff as to not be considered fodder
Well those emotions in part 1 never really disappeared, they just got buried beneath the surface. I strongly disagree that the majority of what shes shown in this manga can be considered skills. Kishi did a poor job of integrating this character into the show.I don't hate her, especially like most of the trolls in this forum. But I dislike her, personality wise. I've reread the series, starting from the very first chapter. She's an annoying vain brat from the start of the series. Shippuden was supposed to change that, given that she was given the role of saving Kankuro and fighting with Sasori, but then Kishi wrote her as an immature teenager greatly driven by her emotions, as seen with her decision about Sasuke in this arc and so on. It just sealed it completely.
I don't have a problem with her skills. She's the support after all, but she didn't get as much spotlight unlike the other people in her team who are now really really powerful. Though I still wonder about her being inclined with Genjutsu as said in the beginning of the series.
