Hey it's me again!
I been arguing for a great deal of time that Sakura is not useless and it's in fact a relevant character. And important to the plot and story But no matter what I tried. No matter how many facts I brought up. From which angle I tried to go on. I always get more or less "Sakura in nothing of those things". So I really don't know what to say anymore to them.
If someone here can write a good/long counter argument that will shut them up at last (or at least for some time). I would be very grateful. :)
I would like to admit I was wrong about the juubi sizes. Since it's been some time since I read the chapter/s. And I thought they were all big at the beginning as they were later on. That was my fault. ;)
This post is from MF!
And it's the answer to my post I made.
This one is from AS.
If someone can write separate counter arguments for this posts I would be extremely grateful. :)
Thanks in advance!
For the AS comment:
Staying in the background is not what Kishimoto has in mind for her. It's a part of her development. Remember, back in the Forest of Death, she hated only being able to look at Sasuke and Naruto's backs and only being in the background. She wanted to be more like them that fights with them instead of behind them. This was mentioned again in chapter 632, when this same flashback is played again, and she gains the seal on her forehead. She thinks she can fight with them now. However, after that she's still in background healing fodder is what you're going to say next. Well, she has a job outside of fighting, and is just as important. She can't leave people who need healing just to fight. That isn't her role. However, one thing we can take from the manga is what the characters say can't be taken as fact. It was the same with Obito's and Itachi's explanation of Madara, and how both had their interpretations. Whether it was intentional or not to give this false information, still the fact remains what they said wasn't completely true. I agree, Sakura declaring she can fight with them, but has to back to healing doesn't hold water. That only means her development isn't finished. People call her Tsunade 2.0, because she has Tsunade's most prominent abilities. She is on par with her Sannin teacher, but hasn't surpassed her, like Naruto and Sasuke have done with Jiraiya and Orochimaru respectively. Untill, there is evidence of such, her development will still continue. The manga itself sets this up. If you say it can't happen, that's merely your own assumption.
For manga fox, I honestly don't know what to say to the "fodders" part. He has one screwed opinion. Points you can make:
-Sakura was one to make a speech like the others you mentiioned, but it doesn't change its validity. Also, Hinata didn't start that speech. Hinata's speech was speaking at Naruto, about not giving up, and how everyone was willing to die for him. Sakura's was making NARUTO's intentions clear to the Alliance that he treats everyone as a comrade, and ironically not people he doesn't want sacrificing their lives for him. Also, that she would rather die fighting than giving up and waiting for the end.
-Summoning: The fact she could summon now proves that she atleast attempted it before. It wasn't a one try thing, and it was succesful. She had practice just like Naruto and Sasuke,except it was off panel. Sasuke's was the same way. We didn't see him train for this. And again, just because we didn't see her practice it, does it make it even less valid?
-The seal: She already has the strength and once gaining it, she immediately did the remote healing via Katsuya. I wouldn't call that the actions of a noob. Don't throw around words like that without a care. It's immature.
-Zetsu: So your saying she should have kept quiet and allow them to do as they please. Sakura made the higher ups aware of the Zetsu, and they are the ones who told everyone via telepathy. They made them more wary of each other, and that was valid since you don't keep quiet about such a thing. Naruto in order to get to every battlefield needed Shukaku's help to guide him there, so if Sakura didn't tell the higher ups, Naruto would have to be scrambling around to find everyone with no direction taking more time than he did needed.
-The alliance arriving: You're talking as if all they did is stand there. DId you forget the mudpit to limt the Juubi's movements, and the Kurama chakra bird? Naruto, Bee, Kakashi and Gai couldn't have continued as they have as Kakashi and Gai kept getting exhausted, and the problm literally got much bigger as the fight when on. If the alliance were, they wouldn't be keeping the Shinju occupied while Naruto and Sasuke deal with Obito, and Hashirama deals with Madara. While I give you they aren't prominent, they have done important things that helped make things easier for Naruto. Again, because the alliance got involved, it makes Sakura healing Naruto even less valid?
Hope this helps, with your discussion. I'll probably check things out in the actual threads later. I have an account on both as well. My user name on AS is the same as Mangafox.
