He said in that interview that he will give sakura more heroine role.
There are two thing that keep me in the manga,
Naruto vs sasuke and NS.
Kishi could have given Sakura more stuff to do sure, but it's not like she was 100% useless in the war. If not for her then Naruto would be dead, or Sasuke would still be stuck in one of Kaguya's dimensions, so she defnitely did get some good moments.
The problem is that the ending completely assassinated her character and made everything she did all for nothing. The major downfall of her character starts at chapter 693 all the way until the ending for me. Everything before that was mostly ok at least from what I can remember.
