Honestly I don't care too much for Sakura development, of course some is good,but it's not like I crave it like I crave Narusaku moments. Althought, I do see Sakura doing something real big, like being the one that kills Sasuke or Madara ( more so Madara) when their blindsided of course. I hope in the war we get a lot of Narusaku moments, especially those life saving, I'm here for you moments.

You do realize that in of itself, Sakura development like that would give more NaruSaku moments just by circumstance. And I doubt Sakura kills Madara...and Sasuke is meant to be redeemed, so that one is out of the question. I doubt we will see very many moments though in the war. Naruto has other concerns right now then romance.

There is one villain I hope for Sakura to face and defeat - Kabuto. Medic-nin vs Medic-nin, Snake vs Slug.

If anything would make Sakura get some recognition, it'll be that.

Too true, that would be the moment for her to shine!

[Kuraudo]

Maybe, but I think that Kabuto is too many powerful for Sakura. Naruto is only one to defeat him.

Well, I wouldn't underestimate her...

Yea I know that Sakura's development most likely means more Narusaku moments, so I guess we need more Sakura development lol....I also realize sasuke is going to be redeemed, I just don't want to admit it.

IMO Sakura is going to take someone big out, and she could take our Madara ( i doubt it, but it could happen) Madara could be fighting Naruto then is on top of him about to finish him off and Sakura kills him from the back something like that.

[Phantom_999]

Well you never know maybe Sakura MIGHT fight Kabuto and win. Far as I concerned she needs to do SOMETHING important for those haters to finally get off her back and finally fulfill that heroine role Kishimoto planned for her , but even that probably won't deter them and as for those NaruSaku moments well we're not saying have them during the war that would be "talk about inconvenient and bad timing" but you know after the war the only reason I would want it during the war is because we've waited long enough to honest and I would dislike it very much if it was only resolved at the end that has happened TOO MUCH already plus it would be a total punch in the nose if all that romance we've been waiting for was just happening post manga and off page/screen if you know what I'm talking about

@Kuraudo - For the moment he is, but like a few have said, there's still a lot of things in the manga that have not been concluded, it's still too early for the manga to end. If I were to guess I'd say we've got at least another 2-3 arcs left in this story (which would take the chapter total to around 700). That's more than enough time for Kishi to give Sakura some attention i.e. training (Genjutsu, Summoning etc.) More than enough time to prepare her for a possible fight with Kabuto.

Naruto isn't going to fight Sasuke, Madara AND Kabuto (either all at the same time or one after another), that's not realistic and who would there be left for someone else to fight. The reasons why I think it'll be sakura to fight Kabuto are:

1. He had pretended to be T7's ally and friend, only to betray them (and the rest of Konoha) by revealing his alligience to Orochimaru all along.
2. He's a disgrace to all those who are Medical-nin. Performing inhumane experiments on his patients (both for Orochimaru's goals and his own), dessecrating the bodies of the dead, and denying those that have passed on the chance to rest in peace (Edo Tensei). The crimes he has committed go against all what the Medical Corps stands for.
3. He's a long standing tormentor and threat to Naruto's life (and to a lesser extent, Sasuke's).

It is for these reasons that I think Sakura has a legitimate claim to fight against Kabuto.

[Kuraudo]

Well, I wouldn't underestimate her...

I didn't say that I underestimate her. At the moment, we don't know true strength about Kabuto. We didn't see the real fight between him and someone yet. Remember, Naruto was always kick Kabuto's slimy ass!

I agree with you this time. But, if this fight is really happen I think that Sakura will team up with someone in fight between him.

... Naruto and Sakura vs. Kabuto. Interesting...

[Phantom_999]

Yeah I would like that to happen too But I want Sakura to train some more and have some more combat oriented justu before fighting that Orochimaru obsessed freak and giving him a good, painfully deserved, violent end and you know get rid of any KIDS Orochimaru impregnated him with *laughter subsides* sorry just wanted to say that because I can't stand those two characters they just weird me out

Obviously. I am honestly surprised that people ever thought Naruto would fight Kabuto. It'll definitely be someone else. Perhaps even Sakura. Fighting Kabuto would more or less be the biggest fight we ever saw her in. And since she can do that without messing up any plot points and get development, I'd say she probably will. Remember, Sakura IS a protagonist so her fighting a major villain isn't far-fetched at all.

Another thing, anyone ever think that Sakura might do something in the Naruto versus Sasuke fight? Granted, she resolved to believe in them, but I don't really think she'd sit back when those two are having a life-death gamble. Naruto even said that they might both die. Nope. She 'aint sittin' back and watching.

[bthug]

Naruto and Sakura vs Kabuto would be sweet or maybe Sakura and Ino or to even spice things up Sakura and Hinata or Sakura and Kakashi, maybe and a big MAYBE Sakura and sasuke( I would not like that).

I also see her stepping in the fight between Naruto and Sasuke, maybe she will have to choose between the two of them...like sasuke tries to woo her over and everyone thinks its working, but BANG she punches him in the face or heals Naruto instead of sasuke, who knows I'm just writing what ever comes to my head. Or maybe it will be Naruto and Sakura vs sasuke for a little bit before she gets hurt...idk

Really?

That situation is as fanfic-ish and OC as it gets. But I'm sure she'll step in or something. One thing I can't see though is Sakura and Naruto vs Sasuke. Nope.

1) The Term is OOC which means out of character. OC is original character.
2) It is actually not hard to conceive as it's happened similarly already at the end of the Kage arc. So....

1) Typo. Chill out.

2) Of course. But something as big as the final fight when they are going try-hard and it's serious... I doubt Sakura would fight with Naruto. It's just not her fight. Maybe she'll help as Naruto arrives or whatever, but actually fighting Sasuke alongside Naruto is highly unlikely.

I did not mean for that to sound rude or anything, just correcting you. Sorry if you took it offensively.

And it seems according to the OVA that her and Kakashi may be in their own fight before it takes place so you are probably right. But if Sakura were to be there, I think she would. It is just as much her fight as it is Naruto's.

Nah It's good.

The OVA isn't the Bible... Anyway, I doubt she would. Sakura is a part of Team 7, but the Naruto and Sasuke situation goes way back and at times totally excludes everyone else. Sakura knows not to do that. Yes, she might try something in the beginning, but after a while, she becomes a complete idiot to even try. She just can't keep up and it's a SHONEN RIVALRY. Sakura undoubtedly will stay out.

[ciardha]

like sasuke tries to woo her over and everyone thinks its working,

Won't happen. Sasuke never had any interest in Sakura whatsoever. Only female he ever showed even minimal interest in was Karin, and note that didn't work out so well for her. Sasuke decided Karin had to die because his feelings for her was interfering with his sole goal- killing everyone who either got in his way or had any connection to Konoha. Sasuke has zero ability or interest "wooing" a female, if you notice, even with Karin, she does all the "wooing" the closest he comes to wooing Karin is his gentle grateful words and gaze "you saved my life" and that wasn't wooing but a vulnerable moment where his feelings for her just came out.

Sakura has moved on from Sasuke and fallen in love with Naruto. Note, when she encounters Sasuke in part 2, neither time does she blush, smile, flirt, much less profess any feelings for him or squeal like a fangirl, which she did regularly in part 1. Who does she blush, smile, flirt and profess feelings for in part 2- Naruto, from the first moment she sees him all the way up to the last time they talked- mentally Naruto even sees her now as she is and looking at him smiling and openly in love with him (chapter 505, how he pictures his age peers in his mind).

Look at how Sakura approaches Sasuke when she plans to kill him. Her words and expression are devoid of any affection for him, the face she shows him is all bluntly business-like. Note- Acting affectionate doesn't even occur to her as part of her plan. Sasuke doesn't stir any romantic feelings for her anymore, not even when she and Naruto first see him at Orochimaru's hideout. There's a moment's awe (not connected to any romantic feelings- no blush, much less a smile) that immediately shifts to fear- she already sees he's become a much darker person, even before he acts. All her feelings for him are memories of a boy she once crushed on, a boy that is long gone. Memories have great power, that's what causes her faltering when she attempts to kill him, it's what keeps Kakashi from even getting as far as Sakura did. (Thus Sasuke's complete contempt for Kakashi trying to reason with him.)

[merryGOflava]

^ sasuke would rather die than woo sakura not even for his life.....

Oh, please... Do you expect Naruto to defeat all antagonists of the story??? + I feel like Madara is the one who's going to kill Kabuto (just a pure speculation here, but I think that Kabuto has Madara's real body..).. + Madara doesn't trust him... so...
