I seen alot of threads on diffrent boards with hateful threads made dedicated to sakura of naruto. What i wanna know is, why does everyone find her so annoying, and is she really that useless?!? I mean her character is rather smart just stuck on boys right now or so it seems :rolleyes: What are your opinions about her as a character in the show.

She's cute, quite capable in battle (as we saw during the battle in the Forest of Death and in the prelims), but definitely needs to get over Sasuke. The guy has no interest in her whatsoever, but she simply fails to notice.

Don't worry about Sakura, her time of pwn will come.

I haven't read the manga but I've always had a feeling that she'd be useful in some way. Cold Steel just proved it for me.

the problem with sakura is that she spends all her time chasing after sasuke when naruto and all the others go train and get new abilities so in the end she isnt helpful in battle because she doesnt have any special abilities to help out

Yeah what was it Kabuto said, she's got no special abilities. Sasuke has the sharingan, was trained by Kakashi and knows the Chidori. Naruto has Kyubi and can summon, Sakura has a wide forehead.

That said, she does have the inner Sakura in case her mind gets taken over, but the chances of that happening again are slim to none.

The problem is, people compare her to Naruto and Sasuke.

Sasuke is a genius survivor of an elite clan, with a kekkei genkai.
Naruto has one of the youma of legend inside of his body, as well as a trainer who is none other than one of the sannin.
Sakura is an ordinary, intelligent but not note-worthy kunoichi with no special techniques passed down through her family's teaching nor her bloodline. She excels at the standard techniques taught to every shinobi, but no more.

It's not that she SUCKS, it's just that she's not remarkable.

In the next sequence of Naruto manga she will be useful

*SPOILER*

She'll be a medical ninja, and maybe have the same skills as Tsunade seeing as she's the one who's training her. She'll probably be able to knock Naruto away 100 feet O:

It's definitely hinted that Sakura is very likely -going- to be useful. If you wanna know why, read Avenger's spoiler (it's probobly not anything you wouldn't guess yourself.)

The reason she can't keep up with basically all of the other main genins in the show is that she doesn't even have any technique(s) passed down through her family. Basically every one of those characters, even Ino, has some special technique that's been passed down by a teacher or family member. She learned the normal grade-school stuff very well... that's about it.

I'm hoping for that to come.
Honestly I've always thought Sakura was kinda more in the way than being of any help. Plus she never cares to notice Naruto cares for her and saves her but Sasuke does not, so it can get quite annoying when she *****es Naruto like she sometimes does.

Yeah, that may be it. People expect her to be like Naruto and Sasuke when she's just a normal kid.

It looks like she's going to become the "tsunade" version of Naruto's team (team 7?). Alea makes a good point, she doesn't really have any secret technique up her sleeve or anything. I imagine eventually she'll become a medic like tsunade though.

At least becoming a Version 2 Tsunade will give her more of a purpose.

in the beginning i just saw her as one of the other characters but it seems she hasnt learned anything from episode 1.. (if you remember the race she actually picks up a huge "tree" on the boat and says shes been getting a speciall training by tsunade so she might become interesting)

but personally i freaking hate her..she just whines and cries and whines and if i could i would become a character in naruto just so i could kill her:]

i dont think sasuke doesnt care about her..i think he does but if he would let him self fall in love with her his dream of killing Itachi (one of the coolest in naruto if i may say;P) would be in danger so he just tries to shut her out completley.

I think in one of the future episodes Sasuke will kill her, because she is being too annoying :p (there is a limit on how much you can annoy a person you know :) ). That would be awesome :devgrin: .

Tree? She tears off the mast from the boat, and swings it. She doesn't -say- anything about being trained by Tsunade. One of the fansubbers put in a note, (It looks like Sakura has been training under Tsunade!) or something to that effect. You shouldn't mistake the two.
