Eh sadly no matter what happens for some people. Even when characters show a much different change in growth or power, it still won't make a difference to others. I mean Sakura's growth in power was hands down high this arc, mentality it's been good too, biggest being her not trusting Sasuke, her speech to not have naruto do it all, and her concern for him.
Yet as good as her healing is, people still call her useless. I'm kinda shocked at just why can they still claim this? I mean take away the actions hinata did with kuramas power, the air palm and rasengan strike. Now what did she honestly do on her own this arc? Barely took down a jubbi clone herself, fixed narutos shoulders, and spent a fair time acting as bonoculars for sakura. Meanwhile sakura blows away the majority of the jubbi clones, calls katsysu, uses remote healing, releases the seal with tsunade, doing a joint technique with her, and even saving shikamaru with effort from naruto and tsunade. People seriously go on saying sakura is useless or healing is boring, well Sakura's actually did things, a lot of things this arc. No matter how popular hinata is, nothing has happened to give her a major power people look for constantly in heroes. Sakura has that with her seal and healing. Healing is nessessary, heck the only reason many were able to help naruto pull obitos chakra out was because so many allaince ninja are left because sakura and tsunade were able to heal them.
It's like a battle setup in wow, when I played the game years ago, there was always a simple battle formation out of 3 roles people could take:
Damage made the majority, the fighters, were split between melee and ranged. Melee took up close action with the tank or defenders, around him and the bad guy. Rouges would be behind the bosses to backstab them. Other times minions would be around so we would need to split up. Ranged simply stood back at mid range or longer to strike from afar. Usually heavy armor melee fighters stood upfront or around the enemy with the tank (usually warriors, paladins, and death knights)
Tanks were heavily armored and endured a lot of punishment, they needed enemies to focus on them so while the fought, everyone else was protected. Enemy on tanks, damage can strike them down while the enemy focused on the tank. Tanks still did some good damage, but they needed to endure lots of hits. Sometimes other tanks were around to switch out if one got too much on them.
Last role was obvious, the healers. Healers healed, buffed, and impeded enemies with debuffs form time to time. Healers had different specialties too like area healing, removing certain effects, or in limited cases, providing limited support. Some tanks had a designated a healer to only watch them. Healers always stood in back and moved with damage and tank of forces.
No raid bosses were just wear them down with overbearing power, it took strategy. I'm not saying the current fight was like a raid in wow but everyone in these things for wow has a job or role to do, the same is said in the current situation as sakura put it before. Her best is to heal people and she did that, even if she didn't get to join the rasengan strike. Her efforts with tsunade saved many others to enable that chakra tug of war.
