While I do not like Sakura (pink reminds me of pepto bismol eeewww), I don't think she is useless. Sure, she hasn't much character development as she should because of who she's tied to, but with a few exceptions, that's the case with most kunoichis (I hope I spelled that right, grammar nazis are coming). They barely ever have much development or background stories. Ten Ten being a fine example of it. I know I know, she doesn't compare in the level of importance as Sakura does. Anyway, the reason I feel that she isn't useless is because obvi she has been a great asset in the war and she was rather awesome back in Sasori days. I wish she had bossed it up like that throughout the entire thing....she had her 15 mins of glory, I guess. And as someone else said in this thread, she has no blood limit abilities nor ninja parents so the fact that she is as good as she is now should be an accomplishment. Anyway, I love Hinata. lol Had to.
