No Sakura trouble is not who Her sense is,it’s Her temper, lack of decent chakra reserves and worst Taijutsu and Minato was not going to cure that because it would ruing Kishi vision of Sakura.

I dont see Minato will be a good teacher for her. His own team turned upside down.

What new jutsu he taught Rin, and Obito?

Tsunade or Hiruzen can be a good teacher for her bcus they are teacher material.

Minato was the worst sensei possible. Don't believe me? Just ask Obito and Rin. Who both got killed. (Except Obito, but he doesn't count)

So yea, let him teach Sakura. Maybe she'll get herself killed.

I think Sakura would have been stronger no matter what if she had two teachers. Two teachers give different perspectives and know different techniques. Sakura only trained with Tsuande while Naruto trained with Jiraiya and Kakashi. Sasuke also trained with Orochimaru and Kakashi.

If kakashi couldnt do anything what will make you think minato can do anything
Kakashi never tried. Naruto and Sasuke were the only ones he really taught.

Lol nope. If Kakashi can't save her who can?


Face facts. When kakashi sits down and trains someone they jump tier lists.

We saw it with naruto
We saw it with sasuke.


Kakashi didn't train her cuz he knew she was trash from get go.

Not even Minato could have improved upon Sakura of Part I.

Chakra control aside (she doesn't need to be taught how to refine it) - he's a creative genius and Sakura isn't.
She hasn't shown any skill, affinity or will to develop her own techniques, or in anything outside what Tsunade has taught her herself.

Genjutsu? Minato, as far as I can recall, doesn't have any particular skill or explicit interest in the art.
Fuinjutsu? Despite her chakra control and intelligence I can't recall Sakura showing any particular skill or interest in this herself.
Taijutsu? Their styles are opposites, ill suited to each other.

She's apparently Water/Earth natured and Minato is Fire/Wind/Lightening :lol

Though I get why Rin is used as an example, that in itself is hardly fair - war time and all that. Between Minato being required for other missions, Rin's time outside team training (I imagine) would be largely spent in the hospital or assisting them in general.

... Sakura on the other hand sat about and did nothing to improve herself. She relied on her academic skills to see her through and neglected her physical training and her apparent affinity for genjutsu.

Had she asked Kakashi, straight out - "Train me in genjutsu!", I don't think he would have said no. I think he would have called in a favour to have someone better train her in the art perhaps.

They are genin - not academy students - and Kakashi refers to them at this point as soldiers. She has to take initiative to imrpove herself, to push herself to get stronger for valid reasons... something she's wholly without when she was Kakashi's genin student.

Should probably keep in mind that Kakashi's own experience as a genin/chunin was vastly different from their own - what he probably expected was Sasuke and Naruto's drive/determination and dedication to training.

Sakura, she fell so damn short it's laughable - what sensei should reward that behaviour with training?
... she didn't deserve it, training and techniques like that - coming from an elite jonin like Kakashi, should be earned by those who want to learn.

So Sakura remained an untrained dumbass until after the Chunin Exams.

Kurenai had the best skill set to teach Sakura, hands down.
She also had the right mentality regarding taking your training seriously - kunoichi pride and all that. Would have loved to have seen Kurenai pick that girl apart and break her out her fangirling. But alas, it was not to be and we had to suffer through 700+ chapters of her stupidity.

Kurenai Yuhi was not a fangirl.

Their relationship wasn't one-sided though. Asuma liked her back, their relationship didn't impede their abilities as shinobi - Kurenai's pregnancy did.

Which isn't exactly unfair, she's entitiled to take herself off active duty to breast fed her baby. That doesn't make her a bad person (or kunoichi), if she had left her baby in the care of the Sarutobi Clan and jumped straight back work I can imagine a horde of readers would bash her because it.

Either way, it's lose-lose for Kurenai.

Though, overall it appears she handled the situation - Mirai > Salad. In terms of mother/daughter relationships, I bet Kurenai did it better... she'd have to f*ck up in a spectacular way to have outdone Sakura in that regard.

Though as the mother of Asuma's child she fufils an important role in Shikamaru's life - so... there is that too I suppose.

Itachi "fodderised" Kakashi Hatake as well. The entire Uchiha Clan. Orochimaru the Sannin...
So with all that in mind, the fact Kurenai was fodderised by Itachi Uchiha isn't something I'm going to hold against her.

Assuming Minato would teach her something or at least train her unlike Kakashi, then yea.

And you are still talking as if Sarada and Sakura have a bad mother/daughter relationship? You really can't be that delusional. They have a very strong bond that goes beyond blood, that was the whole theme of Gaiden. It showed just how good Sakura was as a mother.

But you are too stuck up on Sarada's fit in the first chapter to see that. Not surprised, your whole judgement when it comes to Sakura is always skewed and distorted. :lol

That little snit was significant, yes. I can't believe someone is a great mother and it results in... that. I don't see how it's possible.

Of course my judgement is skewed. I'm human - not vulcan.
