I've read quite alot of fan fiction, most of it isn't worth the CO2 that it'll release while being burned. and this set of events appeared in most of them.

now, to reply to the posts which piled up over the night.

people say that Sakura is smart becuase she always got a perfect score during the academy, but what you forget is that the academy is the equivlent of elementry school, and out of the forum's population, i'm quite sure that at least 60% had an avarge of 90 points at each test during that time, Even taking myself as example, i've gotten perfect scores in math till the 7th grade without once openning the book outside class, it wasn't because i'm a super genius, it's becuase that elementry school math was easy as hell. So, that means that Sakura is only good at bookworming, she's got no real intellect.
oh, and even though I dislike Sakura (at some points), it doesn't mean i won't enjoy a good chapter about her, I Also hate Shino, but it doesn't mean i didn't like his fights.

1. Sakon was running around and crying for a large part of the fight, first when Kiba went Kenshin on his ass, and then when Kiba went Harakiri on his own liver, and also when Kiba set off the Akamaru bomb.

2. Gaara didn't carry Kankaru and Temari, they went through the forest on thier own, sure, he's the one who got them the scroll, but do you honestly believe that Kankaru and Temari couldn't have gotten a scroll on thier own?

3. They all seemed to have a vast range of ninjutsu, they all were able to to the barrier thing, and they pretty much beat the shit out of Sasuke without pulling the seal crap, so sure, they may not be Kakashi, but they're aren't a chunin leveled ninjas.

4. I'm not saying that they haven't trained him here and there, but there's a diffrence between listenning to a lecture (trainning here and there) and between having a tutor (having him as thier apprentice), and yes, Sarutobi was probably a great ninja even as a kid, and was spotted by the hokage for a future canidate, like how Tsunade thinks of Naruto now.

5. Take any fighting shonen anime and compare it to Naruto: do people sucide and sacrifice themselves to beat an enemy in the cost of thier lives and still survive? yes. do they get ridculasly strong in no time? yes. do they make all the 'he's the super legendary guys who did X and Y' enemies lose without even putting up a fight? yes. so, is it becomming tradional? yes.

peole realize that they need to protect something only when they lose something close to them, so if about half of the villiage is dead, it means that the other half is now more motivated to protect those who're left. Sakura isn't the only one who lost someone.

And if tsunade was a med nin before she lost her brother, it means that it's possible to become a good med nin even without someone to protect.

If Tsunade was really serious about it, wouldn't she start from some jounin chunin who has more experinece and talent than Sakura? and the basic knowledge could be taught by anyone, it doesn't have to be the hokage.
If Tsunade was planning to dump tons of reading matrial on Sakura, then she wouldn't have had to say 'let me warn you, i'm a strict teacher', she could have just dumped all the books on Sakura and tell her to memorize them until tommorow, the anouncment about her being strict implies that Tsunade is going to spend alot of time with Sakura in the near future.

Yes, i agree that Kishimoto is the only one who knows what's gonna happen next, but it doesn't mean he didn't make a shitload of mistakes (mainly, Lee's sudden recovery and arrivel for no real reason, or all the 'i'm surly gonna die once i do this' statments).

By tradinoal i mean that it's becoming more and more like any other shonen fighting anime, i liked Naruto becuase the main charecters weren't super strong and didn't win every fight and people dies even though they had fans. it'd be enough for me if one charecter would die each arc (even if it's only Chouji or Kiba, it doesn't have to Sakura or Kakashi).

Considering how strong Sakon was made out to be, Kiba was almost an equal match for him at the beginning of the fight.

The sound 4 aren't just sound ninjas, they're Orochimaru's elite guard, he trusts them to protect him when he's fighting the hokage, they're by no chance weaklings.

Sakura is a girl coming into her teenage stage, she's soon to become too obsessed with measuring her breasts to remember that she has to study. the fact that she got a perfect score in the academy doesn't mean she could handle real matrial, taking me as an example, i was the top student at math in the elemntery school, and i ended up taking the lowest ranked test at the finals.


that was alot of writings, i'm gonna read some ranma now, cya later.
