We get one chapter we have been waiting for with Sakura, and people still complain.
She recently came back, just cause we have not seen anything aside from mental support in this chapter does not nessessarily mean she won't participate.
People keep saying Hinata did this speech, took part in the action, etc. Yeah well that moment passed, it was short, she took part in the action cause she was already there, why did kishi not put Sakura in it or the army charge? He could have but he didn't yeah that can hurt some of us, I'm not upset about the shoulder fixing though, it was a minor moment. But those moments passed now. Remember Sai was not in these either. This does not just condemn her to standing around though. I mean things will be very different 5-10 chapters from now. We saw more of the Sakura we usually like to see, concern and belief in naruto. Sakura's role still is not done, she can always get some action in this current fight, if not the final. Yes Kishi could have done more with Sakura but he has done better with her than others like Ino and Hinata, Ino is minor and Hinata for the development she gets, well its rushed.
This morning it was happy, now people are still going on about this stuff about her not doing anything. Well technically she is partipating in the fight, just cause its not shown on screen does not mean she is not helping. So she got the chakra cloak offscreen, guess this is just another moment to put into the catagory
who cares? It does not make a difference at this point now does it, its not hard to imagine she got the power from a clone, just because she was not seen does not mean she was unimportant. As i said a billion times, the minor characters are getting up and around this current one, we still have not even seen Sai in this new chapter, he is still MIA. This new chapter gave Sakura a secondary role, the dialouge was basicall just Naruto, Sakura, Kakakshi, Kurama, Obito, and Madara this chapter. Sakrua's concern and Kurama's input can both attruibte to a possible sequence in which Naruto may be weaker. No chapter can please everyone at once, what will it take? Sakura gets some technique from Tsunade (maybe she can encounter Hashirama give him her energy and he could "deliver" the technique to Sakura?). No action has come up yet since she came back, manga are not all just cut to the chase and do the friggin action like most other forms of animation, they stand around and think and just have drama come into effect, if it was all just cut to the chase, this manga would be reduced to only 350 or so chapters.
No telling how people are going to go with this but we should at least be happy with this:
-Sakrua is back and is able to fight, she has not yet but this does not mean she won't, she still has her development to come
-Sakura has a secondary role in this chapter displaying what we like best in NS, concern and faith in Naruto.
-Hinata is not being force fed to us, we have a fight with her just in the background again
-Sasuke and co have not come back yet, the story in this point is unchanged
-NaruSaku is still unaffected, this is the thing we care for most, its still unharmed.
Yeah some are pissed she was not seen in 615-617 but that point is passed, just like how Hinata healed Naruto's shoulder into place, this complaining with Sakura not being present, doing any action, and getting the power offscreen, all I can say is
who cares? This point going forward these minor events arn't going to have an overall effect on the story now are they? She just got back, if we stick to the ten tails fight more, she can have more screentime to do something. Just like Sasuke's new attitude nothing with Sakura on the battlefield scene has happened yet. Why complain when these things already passed without them even making much of a difference? Hinata had her time, everyone save Sakura and Sai took part in that charge, but its passed, no point in complaining about it now, Sakura is still a mentally developed character more than a physical one. We still don't know how her development will go. We should not have high hopes from Kishi but then again its not all said and done for her now is it? If its just going to be a complaint fest here even when we see Sakura, just forget this manga, there is no pleasing people even if we get good stuff from a character we like in the future, Sakura can go yin seal mode for all we care and people would still complain here.
