>_> Let's face it Naruto can be real dumb at times. Of course part of it was because of growing up as an orphan and no proper guidance a parent would provide to his kid to groom him. Still he is not pretending when acted that way, he still can have those moments at times when he is getting all the acknowledgement. It's his charm in a way and saves him falling in to a Garu Stu so not complaining about it.

It's still a shame that people take it out on Sakura when Naruto can act mature and accept the rejection and still be friends with her.



Now that's an argument which only shows lots of mysogeny and bias. Is it a coincidence that a lot of haters prefer a meek Hinata which is living on only for Naruto and acts like an ideal wife in traditional sense as a "well written character"?
Doesn't look like it seeing this post of yours. :heh:

The thinking that Naruto is all about fights only is another mistake many readers make and that's one of the reasons they feel disappointed with the the recent arcs this much. Naruto had awesomely described ninja fights. And it's written with a backdrop of war and blood. But it was always about the message writer was sending. It always concentrated on inner struggles of characters and upon the people who lost their way during all the mayhem. If they had noticed it then they would have been better of.
You double posted.....

In my opinion she is useless, People might disagree but oh well,
The fact that it is Unknown if she is a medic or a additional combatant against The juubi was
quite annoying.

First she was a medic healing the SA
and then she changed to combatant and Barking she is on par With naruto and Sasuke.
then she start healing again.


This War arc. was ****ed up for her.
She can only think of Sasuke if she was a strong Independent woman
Sasuke wouldn't be in the picture since the start of Shipuuden.

There are only 2 Kunoichi's I really like

And that's Tayuya and Temari.

Why bring that emo kid up???

It shows her versatility , and she rather preserve he life of the people, saving Naruto from having to fathom the lose of random people, instead of fighting with them. You do know that Sakura did help with the tug of war too, just saying

I agree that much. Still he was not pretending when he acted that way. He still can have those moments at times when he is getting all the acknowledgement he ever needed. It's his charm in a way and saves him falling in to a Gary Stu category so I'm not complaining about it.

It's still a shame that people take it out on Sakura when Naruto can act mature and accept the rejection and still be friends with her.

Naruto had awesomely described ninja fights. And it's written with a backdrop of war and blood. But it was always about the message writer was sending. It always concentrated on inner struggles of characters and upon the people who lost their dreams and way during all the mayhem. Deep down they know they are probably not on the right path but still cannot see another way out either. Sometimes there are no right or wrong choices individually but what's best for all. If they( such readers) had noticed it then they would have been better of.
see this is exactly what I mean I said nothing about any other female character yet you bring up Hinata and assume you know my preference in women and càll me mysoginistic. You are wrong if sakura was strong and independent why does she chase someone who frankly told her in the face he doesn't like her and she makes him SICK! I love a good female lead but there is none in naruto they all suck none of them are interesting BLAND is the fitting word for all women in naruto. In magi there is a strong female lead who has good backstory, relevance TO the story, and can fight. Sakura is useless as a main character she is NOTHING but a love interest her medical abilities can be replaced by any no name fodder and she can't even fight. She is expendable.

Obito does not fail as a villain he is a bad villain but there's three things that make a villain. 1. Action(the biggest part) 2. Background( second biggest part) 3. Motive( third biggest part). Only his background sucks.

Nah, there's a lot more to a good villain.

More important than action is motivation and personality, take Orochimaru, that guy oozes charisma and that's part of what makes him the best overall villain along with his twisted means of gaining power, like testing on unborn children.

These cool kids making fun of a fictional character. Lol And this is our future. :coffee:

Sakura is not a fail character. Kishi's style is different and he gave her a specific role to play. She's not an over powered main character. She's a realistic Character that we can relate to.

If kishi wanted to, he could easily give her a power up that would make her stronger than naruto or sasuke, but he didn't which means he intends for her to not be over powered. He intends her to be a realistic character with many flaws.

Regarding her love, Well shes a tsundere character so of course she's going to hate/resent naruto in the beginning, then later on, She started appreciating him, and even loves him as well. That's how tsundere's work in a shonen manga.

You can hate on sakura all you want, but the thing is, she's quite popular in japan and that's what matters the most for kishi.

First, there is a big difference between not being at her teammates level and being unable to fight.

Sakura will never be at Sasuke and Naruto's offensive power level, she will always be weaker than them, it's hard for her to catch up since she is nothing special, just a regular shinobi, with no clan at all, she doesn't have kekkei genkai, she doesn't have a bijuu sealed in her stomach, and her brother's eyes weren't transplanted to her... So there is no way she could defeat any of them.

But this doesn't mean she can't fight, she has been recognized by several shinobis, both allies and enemies, as a great Kunoichi, praising her skills and talent.

So think whatever you want, in Narutoverse, Sakura is a great Kunoichi whose every single accomplishment was product of her training and hard work, nothing more.

Irrelevant to the story?? Sakura is the main heroine! Naruto is in love with her! And she is in love with Sasuke! That kind of controversy makes people discuss their preferences about who end up with who, choosing their pairings, and makes uncertain the ending of Naruto, making it interesting to keep reading the manga.
The heroines of a Main Stream Shounen manga, are always saved sometimes, are never at their teammates level, and usually find other way to help. Sakura's Support skills are healing and intelligence:

For the record, she didn't call your argument full of misogynist content because of Hinata or anything similar, the reason is the following sentence you wrote:
All women who have no uniqueness or differentiation from other women feel the need to call themselves strong and independent xD if they were they wouldn't need to tell everyone they'd show it.

No none of that changes the fact that she is a failure of a main character. She doesn't even have a goal!! Take my comment about the "strong independent woman" thing as you will but only insecure weak women feel the need to tell everyone that. Its like a guy who feels the need to say I'm strong and I have a big dong it only further proves the opposite. EDIT you also further proved my point that sakura is irrelevant to the story in her being nothing more than a love interest she has zero relevance.

When Sakura said she is independent??
How many heroines from Main Stream Shounen didn't got saved sometime?
How many of them are at the male character's level?
A goal? What about becoming as good as her master or better? Or bringing Sasuke back to konoha?

If we are going to eliminate every single character that is irrelevant for the haters, Naruto would only have 2 characters and the evil guy.

Regarding to her relevance to main plot, it depends on the arc, we can't compare her relevance in the Rescue Gaara Arc to Hidan and Kakauzu's Arc. In every arc she was always the person the main hero is in love with.
Haters always repeat she is a horrible character and claims Kishi said that when he actually didn't, that was a miss translated. So, i haven't seen any serious argument backing up this "failure character" theory...

so is this to convince sakura fans that she is a fail main character, or so that people can go on another Sakura hate fest and you can stroke your egos on how you all look cool by hating on fictional character, and in the process gaining absolutely nothing.:rolleyes:

I add somethings take a look again . like naruto is an idiot but sometimes he can be smart than any other .
naruto with compare to sakura almost removed his imperfection like some stupidity
ignorance,or obsession with sasuke.
also sakura showed her intelligence 3 or 4 time in shipuuden... i can say that she good only in booksmart, but sasuke and naruto grown in booksmart too ( especially naruto)
