If people stopped comparing her with Sasuke/Naruto they'd be too surprised to realize how up there Sakura really is. Granted, her teacher is a Kage, and in the span of two years, she's reached a peak level that MANY kunoichi have not. Unfortunately Shippuden never gave her enough highlights to show off her skillset, but by Boruto, she's easily up there with the other Kage. She's beaten a lot of ass regardless.
Sakura turned out to be more resourceful than naruto and sasuke. While they are depending kurama or sharingan, she is the only one who could hustling all the way without depending any jutsu. Yes, she needs tsunade's explosive punch and healing jutsu, but it's just bonus to her. Also she's genius at genjutsu to begin with. If only she didn't fall in love with sasuke, what would happen to her?
What I really love about Sakura is that she literally started from scratch! She doesn't have a shinobi clan (no inherited abilities) like Sasuke or Naruto. She started from SCRATCH, and it bothers me that many Naruto fans don't acknowledge that her character development is very good. Sakura is the only female character who is well-written and not a fan service.
the scene where sakura explains to naruto how a girl doesn't change her feelings easily when in love and it changes to a shot of sasuke and the moon was just perfect. it's only a short scene but it makes my heart twist everytime
Sakura is strong, but the power of Kishimoto's script makes her weak because Kishimoto doesn't know how to write women. It's a shame that the characters that have potential in this series are wasted, even so, I still really like Sakura. Although she did not suffer as much as Sasuke and Naruto, she did suffer a lot for love and probably because she felt inferior, or at least that is what she shows throughout the series and in the ending 14 of Naruto Shippuden, anyone who listened to the subtitled song I would understand. I wish Sakura were taken with more importance, but nothing can be done if Kishimoto doesn't know how to handle her, at least I created a character much more human than anyone else, which people don't appreciate.
Kakashi played favorites. Kakashi already stated that she would be great at genjutsu and her chakra control was better than Naruto and Sasuke's when he was teaching them gow to climb the trees. All Tsunade did was show / teach her something that was more direct. Her teamates were fighters, Tsunade literally taught this girl how to fight/ box. Healing/ better chakra contol was just extra.
Hinata vs Sakura Sakura: •Save Naruto three times •became strong without having a natural skill like byakugan •fought Sasori •punched Kaguya •Surpassed her teacher •Saved Hinata,Sasuke •took care of Naruto & Sasuke for a night •best Taijutsu user beside Rock lee(she have better taijutsu skill in boruto than Sasuke) "Meanwhile Hinata" •loves Natuto •tried to fought pain(brutally failed) •NaRuTo-kUn 👉👈 🍒 🍒 🍒
She's not useless. She's HATEABLE. A prime example is when she hits naruto. Other anime use this humor and make it work but it's not funny with her. Naruto, who has always stuck by and done everything he can to keep his promise to her even when it's hurting him to his limit. She's literally biting the hand that feeds her. And this is only one out of who knows how many reasons she's hateable.
Reading the comments, we can see many people try to diminish Sakura comparing her with Naruto and Sasuke, but it happens that while they both were BORN SPECIAL, she is a common person from a common family with a common story. 🤷🏻♀️ Everything she is and has is 100% thanks to her effort. Of course Naruto and Sasuke trained a lot, in a tireless way, there’s no discussion about it, but the fact is they are already brilliant and powerful by nature. Sakura deserves all the recognition for being able to fight by their sides. She is amazing
