I don&#39;t find her to be usefull at all, really. And besides, only thing she can do is see through genjutsu (and actually, there were many times she didn&#39;t even see through genjutsu when it was so OBVIOUS, and Sasuke saw through it and she didn&#39;t (Orochimaru pretending to be naruto and Sasuke warned her about it, and frist time Kakashi tested them, the whole Sasuke being killed) and just seeing through genjutsu wouldn&#39;t make a person good enough to be chuunin... I mean reason why Shikamaru didn&#39;t make it (T_T) cause he needs more than just shadow techneque..needs to add something to it so he can utelize that and defeat opponent) ...just seeing through genjutsu is not gonna make you exactly win... I mean... pretty much make Sakura vs. most any other character...she would loose

I&#39;m sorry... and her always going &quot;sasuke-kun..this and that&#39; is tiring and annoying...that&#39;s mendokusei...I mean..she should be training...and she did nothing... so much for her resolve to be like Sasuke and Naruto... I mean she needs to get off her butt and quit whining and learn to be more useful, learn jutsu...

Gosh and if she is gonna like somebody..might as well like Rock Lee, at least he likes her

</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
just to add, that Shikamaru DID NOT yet fail the exam...he lost the match but I think he will become chuunin without really winning the match, coz hes a leader and a really good thinker, which can be worth moretahn winning such a stupid match..

It&#39;s funny but I didn&#39;t make it. Found it somewhere on the net.

That picture&#39;s from one of Rock Lee&#39;s super moves in the Playstation 2 Naruto game: Narultimate Hero.

There&#39;s a thread around here somewhere with videos of all of them.

[OshadowO]

the pic is from a parody chapter of chapter 181 that inane did. The chapter itself was pretty heavy and dealt with some darker issues. .

very funny btw if you&#39;re a manga reader and haven&#39;t read it. not sure where you can get it though:/

[Krbadass]

I&#39;d like to see her have a bit of a bigger role.. it&#39;d be nice i guess. But its not too bad right now.

Sakura is only good for saying: &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; &quot;SASUKE-KUN&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&quot; GIVE IT TO ME HARDER SASUKE&#33;&#33; O YEAHHH&#33;&#33;

also even though she has perfect chakra control, that enables her to had some advantages over others, but since shes a girl, she has difficulties against guys...

i mean, at least she outsmarted zaku in that battle, and outsmarted ino as well...

you gotta give her credit for that guys.. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
She gets no credit from me. She has difficulties against the other girls. She&#39;d get owned by the other female genins as well with the exception of ino. well kin is absent but i&#39;m sure she&#39;d take suckara.

<span style='color:#D6DBE0'><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>Yes suckara cuz she sucks</span></span>

[Shikai]

yeah she need to get over him.. cuz the groopie additude from sakura is getting on my nerves.. sakura and lee maybe?

well i voted for &quot;Maybe... only if it were something cool&quot;.. she&#39;s too much on the background.. allthough her &#39;trying to get into spotlight with kamikaze move vs sound nin in order to protect sasuke&#39; was remarkable...

who knows she might pull of something

[PuppetMaster Kankuro]

Sakura sucks. Hopefully she gets killed in the upcoming episodes by sum sand nin or sumthin. There is really no point for her being in the story unless Naruto still wants a piece.

HELL YEA, DIE SAKURA&#33;&#33;

[RaZzy]

yeah she&#39;s boring
she should have a bigger role...
FIGHT FOR SASUKE BITCH FIGHT&#33;&#33;

[Aegis Runestone]

I don&#39;t wanna know what you guys think of Sasami from Tenchi Muyo&#33;.

You guys are cruel and evil. I cannot believe the high immaturity level of the posters on this forum. &lt;.&lt; Two words: GROW UP. It&#39;s no wonder anime gets such a bad repuation these days. You guys are just not funny, you sound like a bunch of spamming morons. Sakura is like any teenage girl I know, so if any of you are planning on getting married and you have a daughter, I pity her, you&#39;ll probably abuse her or something.

In any case, Sakura isn&#39;t going to die, it&#39;s obvious that she is a main character along with Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke.

[IcePalm]

Sakura serves an important role in demonstrating just how unusually strong most of the genin in Naruto&#39;s year are. She&#39;s been shown to be smart (at least academically) and a reasonably hard worker, in our world she&#39;d be doing well; yet she&#39;s nowhere near most of the others in terms of ability.
She also has relatively normal concerns and priorities- most people are mocking her pursuit of Sasuke, but isn&#39;t that more normal for a person her age than the desire to kill their own brother or to become the most respected ninja in the community?

That said, it would be nice if she could construct her own unique jutsu or at least demonstrate more of the techniques that are available to ninjas of average ability.

Edit- To the &#39;OMG B1GG3R B00bz PLZ&#33;&#33;&#33;&#39; people- Sakura is presumably around 12 years old; is lusting over pre-pubescent characters really your thing?

[Naruto]

no but bigger titts

[Phainein Terra]

Okay, let me spell it out for the morons who missed ALL THE F*CKING CLUES.

The reason Lee is starting to grow on Sakura is because they are much alike. Lee must work his @&#036;&#036; off to develop the skills to be a ninja. Sakura, who was so excellent in school, is suddenly learning the hard lesson of how unskilled she is in life. She has thus far experienced a series of epiphanies that is making her understand that she, too, must work her @&#036;&#036; off to develop the skills to be a good ninja, just like Lee. This is why she sympathizes with him so much at this point in the story.

Sakura is very bright, and she has a great deal of skills, although they are not strong. I foresee (and I haven&#39;t read the manga) that she will soon show how much of a true boon her intelligence is to those around her. I also foresee that she may be a breakthrough ninja, someone who developes her own Bloodline Limit. You have to think... where did those Limits originally develop from? Someone had to be the first in an old family to really bring it out. And I think Sakura will do that for her family. That is just a prophecy, however. We&#39;ll see if it comes to pass.

I GOT IT&#33; SAKURA JUST NEEDS TO WIN A DAMN FIGHT&#33;
