Sakura Haruno Anonymous
Shippuuden Sakura time, with or without other people I'm not fussy
>> Anonymous
Bump because Haruno Sakura is my favorite Naruto character. She was good before Shippuuden, despite common belief. She developed very quickly and steadily, giving great behind-the-scenes support while she learned.

And the time-skip made her much more competent, all the more reason to like her as a character, and the mangaka as an author.

She started off quite useless in the very beginning, because she was so focused on winning Sasuke, but she learned very quickly that she needs to improve herself. She also took steps to improve herself, and she impressed Tsunade enough that Tsunade took her on and taught her herself. Considering that Tsunade was taking over the duties of Hokage, she must have seen great potential in Sakura, to want to teach her herself, in addition to her Hokage duties. And Chiyo comments that she thinks Sakura will surpass Tsunade.

Besides, Sakura was TEH PWNZ against Sasori's puppets. Her fights against the Sandaime Kazekage, and then against Sasori's hundred puppets, were awesome as hell to watch.

You've got the characters who have horrible pasts then you get a character like Sakura, who hasn't had tragedy in her past but who you feel for all the same. Its wonderful to watch her grow up through akward crushes and insecurities into being able to realise that she need to stand on her own in order to progress forward. Her recognition of Naruto at the beginning of Shippuuden was my favourite moment, although pwning Sasori was pretty epic too.

I fucking love you guys, thanks for the pictures!

I really do like what has been done with the character. As said in this thread.. she is a great example of an awesome character that doesn't require some stupid horrible past to be awesome. She doesn't need tragedy to be motivated. What's better is she is a strong woman. That is so rare it isn't funny.

My only worry is that she will stagnate. She has possibly the most potent ability in the manga now. It is simple and brutally effective. There is no counter for it except to get out of her fucking way. No tricks.. no complication.

Probably TOO powerful. She will never be aloud to get her hands on any opponent of importance. She'd could just absolutely ruin anyone she got her hands on. If her abilities were given proper respect she would steal all the thunder from the other characters.

That includes Naruto.. and the whole thing is about Naruto.

SMASH SMASH SMASH

Oops.. sorry Naruto. Should have saved some for you.

The author of Naruto has a great deal of respect for portrayal of female characters, and thus, I am sure, will put a great deal of effort into making the storyline work for her.

I'm sure he'll find a creative way for an enemy to defeat her if need be (not that making fight scenes is very hard ;)).

Yeah she is powerful indeed, but in the Naruto world there are enemies that are much stronger, and it isnt all about strength. She will be just like Tsunade, in fact stronger than her.

I'm assuming everyone in here is up to date with the manga, before I go on this might SPOIL it for some.

Jiraiya, Madara, Itachi, Sasuke and Pein are probably the strongets, and by that I mean experience and other skills as well. Sure, Sakura will become much stronger, but remember what Kakashi said to Naruto: in the ninja world there are ninjas stronger than me and younger than you.

she has no tits at that age because SURPRISE SURPRISE, she's TWELVE!

In the manga, after the timeskip, she has tits. The anime downplayed them.

Yes and no.

The strength of so many of these people is in traps and tricky tricks. Complicated shit that can be countered. The more complicated it gets the more holes there are to poke in the strategy.

Sarkua's ability is very direct and simple. If she learned more technique and threw in some strategy she would be fearsome. If she connects.. it's over. There isn't anything you can do except keep your distance from her.

The more complicated and contrived your opponent's ability get the easier it becomes to take down. It may seem OMGWTFBBQ on the surface, but their own strengths can be exploited.

If anything, Sakura suffers from the typical problem of writing for a character that can crush anyone with ease. You can't keep them on the front line doing what they are really capable of without ruining the story for everyone else. You have to keep them on the side line and ignore everything else they can do(making the character too stupid to see how they can use their own abilities to their advantage despite the fact the character is proven to be smart).
