This.

Even limited to punching and simple healing during her fight with Sasori, she was able to be of GREAT use and she was able to show everyone that she's a very capable fighter who's one hell of an asset to any team. She's definitely a strategic fighter when it comes down to it, and she's able to think quickly on her feet.

1. Tricking the Sound nin in the forest of Death. Sure, it wasn't a huge feat BUT she was able to land an attack on her foe and considering how limited she was at the time, that's what makes it all the more special.

2. She took down the Kazekage puppet with strategic thinking. Faking being poisoned definitely worked in her favor there.

3. Zetsu. Tricked him into believing she was going to heal him and BAM! His ass in on the ground.

Anyway, as you've said, she's smart, and she's skilled. Whatever new power up she has, she'll utilize it to the fullest because that's what she's good at. I wonder if she'll come up with a strategy while fighting with Naruto and Sasuke.

You forgot to mention.....
4. Sasuke Assassination Team. She tricked Sai, Rock Lee and Kiba that she was going to fight only to throw sleep bombs unnoticed. To which Kakashi commented, "Impressive Sakura." Anyone can trick Rock Lee and Kiba, but it's not easy tricking a root member.

Come to think of it....Her winning attacks are based on trickery. No wonder she is the genjutsu type. If she's already good at tricking people without the chakra, I wonder what she can do with the chakra and the perfect control of it.

Well, to be fair, neither Naruto or Sasuke have seen Sakura kick ass yet. Neither of them were present while she was fighting Sasori. So her saying "I'll finally show my real power" could also be "you guys haven't seen what I can do yet, let me show you".

Nah, think about it. Naruto has seen her strength and her medical prowess. And Sasuke knows she's a medic nin. There's definitely something more.
As for the raw.

You know it's a lose lose for Sakura... she does nothing, she's called useless. She tries to fight, it's questioned where was this power before, likely claimed as asspull. Guess not all characters can be like Hinata or Ino now apparently

Hinata and Ino didn't get any severe power-ups, though. I don't see the comparison here.

No but Naruto also knows what Tsunade can do. And I think that's one of the reasons he smiled when Sakura showed her determination to participate.

I'm not saying that somebody shouldn't be able to rise high because they weren't born into the position. I am saying that there should be a strength limit based on your physical capability. Hashirama and Madara were the gods of the shinobi world because of their respective bloodline limits. They didn't learn those they were born with them.

Sakura is already a great shinobi without being from a great clan. She is arguably the best that doesn't have some kind of special background. For her to already be at or even slightly above Tsunade's level at the tender age of 16 is already pretty astonishing isn't it? It should be anyway. I don't understand why people basically think she has to be near or equal with Naruto and Sasuke in terms of power in order to be taken seriously or given her fair due. It seems like we want to unrealistically elevate her so that she doesn't look bad next to the boys of her group who are essentially the new generation Hashirama and Madara. What other character do we know of that had equal power with those two?

Sakura getting sage mode would, indeed, be something of an asspull. Then again, after an entire 631 chapters of her not being given the tactical developments she should have, an asspull might be good for her. (and when did asspull become common vernacular on this forum? I've seen it used a lot on this thread, but I can't remember it being used in these threads even when Sasuke WAS asspulling things left and right)

Not sure. I'm pretty new here and I've seen it used so I figured it's the thing to do.

One thing I find very funny is how some haters or NH fans go, "How can Naruto treat Hinata like this? After what she just did for him? After how neji sacrificed himself for them?"

Funny, didn't hinata just seemingly gloss over Neji's death and rather thought about how Naruto's hand made her feel all safe?

Then this proves by logic that NH would just be a fragile relationship with backstabbing events.

Okay jokes aside, the arguements of NH at this point, I'm just seeing flawed logic in most cases, I seriously cannot see a way for it to make a comeback after Minato's Kushina-Sakura parallel.

I mean a battles about to start, the second to last, there is more NS stuff to come, I'd expect a bit of it in this fight and towards the end, but I just cannot think of any stable ground for NH at this point, where can they find a spot to just build it more as many of the fans proclaim?

I remember one statement with someone making a desperate attempt to make this chapter seem anti-narusaku trying to use the kushina parallel against us and saying it makes 2 kushinas.

If you ask me, if they are upset with how Naruto treated Hinata, doesn't it make more sense for Hinata to have someone who is not constantly forgetting her then.

Aka, NH is on the decline in my opinion, its going to be much harder to make a comeback because of this parallel confirmation. To others, its dead. I however wait until we actually see whats done (aka if Hinata was just happy for Naruto and Sakura or if there is closure between Naruto and Hinata, something that would show NH as dead from that point). I'll wait to see when the ship is fully sunk. Well just glad NS is better than ever.

Hhaha, gotta post this one. It's anti- NS, but

Just typical Sakura hater comments ;P

[TouKen4Life3g]

Why are we wasting energy with NH fans??? Nh is dead.... lets turn all our attention to SS now.

Haha, I like this. You're right.

Hey guys, I think ahead but something that worries me now. I would wait but here's something that I just thought of. I think Sasuke said that line early before going to the next arc/phase because perhaps Tsunade may die after all. Think about it. If these guys don't show up, then that means they will see Tsunade at the death point, much like Sarutobi's death. That said if she dies, the road to Hokage can begin and Sasuke will take the opportunity to steal it from Naruto or anyone else, much like Danzou. Yes, he's still a missing nin, but something will happen that will make everyone forced to have Sasuke as the Hokage because he doesn't acknowledged Naruto to take care of things, hence this will be their breaking point. Again, I am thinking ahead, but if these kages don't show up, oh God...

Yet it would fit with part 1 with the idea that geniuses or blessed by circumstances can be defeated or at leasted equaled by those that cannot. I saw a lot of people saying that part 2 diverted from that concept. Maybe Sakura will be that character that will be equal to Naruto and Sasuke, that more or less are the descendents of the SO6P.

Well, one that has always been mentioned from time to time in the matters of these two was Mito. Yes, she was from the Uzumaki, but we still had a feminine figure in this big panel.
Plus, Tsunade's Yin Seal is exactly a bypass to those chakra rules, because in the end, that's kinda it. You have to have enough chakra in order to perform strong jutsus. So we have a bypass, as I said. Given her chakra control, there is nothing that can hold her back on being on the pedestal with those two.
And it's not about doing that, necessarily, it's just a fair thing to do.
Not to mention it will redeem Kishi's so-called sexism.

Exactly. Many people were fond of that concept which Kishi seemed to have thrown away on the window. But now, with the recent events, he seems to be going back on that route

Well if you want to be technical they did receive a considerable boost temporarily through Kurama's chakra. Excluding those external factors however Ino's taijutsu capability should have increased as we did witness her holding her own against Asuma in hand to hand combat.

LOL How could I forget about that. And she attempted to trick Sasuke as well. Girl is all about deception.

In terms of what Shinobi was meant to be at the beginning, Sakura has it.
She's deceptive, good at picking information, stealthy.

The "lonely existence" thing was written in Sasuke's bio, not Sakura's. I have the raw, I'll post it later.

that made me literally laugh out loud.

[Otaru]

Funny, the Kizuna book reflected that moment as an important piece of love, which makes me wonder if Kishi really going to make her realize her love for Naruto when the Hokage's dream comes back. I will give him huge kudos if this is planned.

This is interesting.
I haven't read Kizuna
Is it possible to find it on internet ?

[Gravenimage]

Some NH fans actually believe Naruto was joking and that he actually loves Hinata

Well let them think like that, even if he kisses Sakura's forehead or marries her they will still say he secretly loves Hinata.

One of the most awesome things about her and it's one of the things that Kishi's consistent with. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some more deception from Sakura.

She might do something like that. I mean, look at Tsunade how she tricked Madara into thinking he had her while it was all a back-up plan making room for the other kages to attack. She's a damn tanker.

I don't have it but I believe someone in here do.

I find this funny that we are going back in time with this whole databook conspiracy. Oh well, the funny thing is if you go to the 3rd one, Sasuke's aspects to Sakura is not even there. At least have a follow-up. Oh well. Oh and another counter, if you want to acknowledge the past, then acknowledge "Sakura still didn't find the answer" in there. Yeah, see you in 632.
