Keep in mind, this is NOT A CHARACTER BASHING

Well, I don't have anything against Sakura receiving a power boost. In fact I was really disappointed when
she was left behind in part 2 after Sasori's battle. We have a feeling that she is useless because she doesn't go to the battlefront, but it isn't that way. She's a medical ninja, and so as one she needs to stay behind healing. Doesn't matter if it's lame role for her,it's a vital point.

But there are some flaws here that many have already pointed out. In Pain's arc, she only healed people. Well, that's ok, since she could have felt that she would be more usefull healing the injured people than having a pointless match against Nagato.
But right after that, when she tried to take out Sasuke,alone, she tried it with only a poisoned kunai? Really? Where was this "hidden power"? Why didn't she use it that time?
The only reasonable explanation would be that she didn't know it yet. But let's recap : The war arc began right after that event. Tsunade was very, very busy with all the Kage's meeting and plans. So the only explanation for her training, would be she was sent to the "Slug's place" as was Naruto, and some Slug Sage taught her that special ability. Could be Tsunade's Regeneration or some kind of Slug Sage Mode.

Regardless any of these things, that power would be pointless. Why?
I'm going to explain.
It's almost sure to say that Sakura's ability will somehow, remember Tsunade. It will be close-quarters combat with an high regeneration and unbelievable strength.
HOW IN HEAVENS, could this style fit the Sasuke's Amaterasu Spam/Susano'o Arrow Shot Spam or BM Naruto BD spam??? She will be massacred. Sasuke could care less about her, but Naruto will hold back in fear of hitting her.

So, I still think Sakura would serve a better purpose if she just stayed behind and heal Naruo or Sasuke if any of them got injuried, and in the worst scenario, where them both are fallen, she would arise and defend them(Just as in the chunnin exams)

If she fails next week then she's a female version of Kiba.Hyping herself up then fails epically.

Actually she's strong, but not even close to Naruto's or Sasuke's level...

lets wait and see before jumping to conclusions if what she can do is useless also if its a strong mode i hope kishi can explain why she hadn't used it against sasuke or pain but then again she was healing most of the time and after seeing what nagato did to the village that could have intimidated anyone but who knows

Me too, the only thing she has to back up her statement is how awesome Tsunade is.Sasuke never said anything about being Oro's student and Naruto stopped bragging about J man after the Pain arc.

Kyuubi cloak refueled her chakra and she was storing it up anyway.

Think you missed the points. She suppose to stay in the back and heal. Her medical ninjutsu is just as deadly as tsunade and if trusted to heal sasuke would be the easiest way to get to him. Obivioulsy it takes her time to store whatever is needed to pull off a attack which sasuke with his eyes activated could easily see her storing large amount of chakra for whatever reason. I think she had the ability for awhile. Large time gaps happen. These things are not a back to back to back happening. Time gaps are assume. Rather large ones are stated.

I certainly hope its going to be more usefull than everything Tsunade did in the fight against Madara.
Tsunade just made herself seem weak by saiying ''I can only fight this way'' while being skewered repeatedly without landing a hit.

She'll probably will be able to pull off some high class Herculean medical shit and save people.

If she fails next week then she's a female version of Kiba.Hyping herself up then fails epically.

Oh god Kiba... they made him the most powerful character in Naruto UNS.

Nope!! Naruto Sage Mode in UNS is very OP with his unavoidable Rasengan Barrage spam ¬¬

Hopefully its a version of creation rebirth that she can transfer to other people, so instead of her fighting, she maximises other peoples potential.

I personally think she's a low Jounin level fighter. Which we think is crap because Naruto and the ilk are all well into S-Rank, but it's still pretty good overall, considering the fact that most shinobi are Chuunin.

Sakura is full of crap. If she could do dome sort of special techinque why wait this long to do? Why not use it on sasori?

Maybe it wasn't perfected then, it is very easy to make up a way someone could have aquired new abilities off panel. Alot of ninja never showed their best in certain situations. Jiraya didn't use SM vs orochimaru yet he used it again pain. Stuff like that.

The writer of this manga obv hold jiraya and oro and tsunade as equals, even though there is a power gap between the 3, as far as we know from reading. It could be the same case for her. Tsunade can definitely hold her own against her teammates. As long as Sakura can do that it would be good enough she said 'compete with them' i believe not that shes the same level or better but we will have to see.
