[@michaelconcepcion4165]

This was something off the bat in shippuden + granny chiyo/sasori battle that set the stage for her growth!! Major let down as things went on

[@alexwilliams4277]

As a Sakura hater my problem was that her solutions to problems involving sasuke were always terrible and if they worked everyone would’ve died. Number 1 she tried to stop Naruto and sasuke from fighting by RUNNING IN BETWEEN NARUTO IN SASUKE while they were in the air free falling and using chidori and rasengan. If that worked she would’ve died very stupid decision. Number 2. Trying to trick sasuke and take him out with a sneak attack. Considering they are all SHINOBI and sasuke just took out danzo this would’ve never happened and he had sheringan also she would’ve just died again. 3. She tried to convince Naruto to not save sasuke by her confessing fake feelings to Naruto which would’ve ended in Naruto hating the fact he lost his friend and both of them being a loveless miserable relationship. She also knocked out her team that was supposed to help her get sasuke another terrible decision. She only made terrible decisions when sasuke was involved. That’s why i can’t stand her character she was more of a problem for her village then a asset

[@ceridwenaeradwr8105]

You know what, I think that *very* early part 1 Sakura can be left more or less untouched (apart from what you said about making her crush on Sasuke less over the top). I think that establishing her as initially a very immature *kid* who has massively overromanticized the idea of being a shinobi and doesn't really take it seriously, has the potential to make her character growth hit a lot harder. I think it's why her moment in the forest of death hits so hard. That's really the first time that everything has gone so disastrously wrong that she is left alone to deal with a very dangerous situation. She has the realisation that she is woefully unequipped to handle it, and that thanks to her ill-preparation her teammates may very well die. Watching her have that moment and then choose to stand up and fight *even though* she has no chance made SUCH an impression on me as a kid. After that however, yeah, absolutely she should dive headfirst into training and actually making a change - it's such bullshit that in the original she spends the *months* of build-up to the Chuunin exam finals doing NOTHING.

[@raoufdali1049]

You do realise what you are describing is literally what happened in the manga you didn't change anything

[@Wordlifefan9]

@@raoufdali1049 That’s the point, they were saying they DIDN’T have to change that and went into detail about what that character meant to them as a child and why it COULD work in the live action movies. They just have to do more after the Forest of Death (starting with fixing her fight with Ino) and build from there as an actual C plot instead of like the G plot in the anime

[@thehauntedtree]

Yeah. Sakura being just some girl who follows the crowd is part of her character. She doesn’t hate Naruto for no reason. She hates Naruto because EVERYONE hates him and she wants to be popular. She’s an incredibly repressed person who literally manifests an alternate personality that says what she’s actually thinking. Then she grows out of it and becomes confident and skilled person. The arc just needs a little bit of polishing to make her shine more

[@raoufdali1049]

@@Wordlifefan9 Do the fact she win against Ino that important a stalemate isn't ideal but it's good enough It showed that she had also determination And also that she gave importance to Naruto point of view she broke out of Ino jutsu thank to Naruto encouragement

[@cheyennemoore8380]

I agree. Then make her seek out Kurenai while the boys are gone and when she gets to be Tsuande's pupil later on, it'll hit harder. This put into words why her moment in the forest made such an impact on me and created me into a lifelong fan of hers. Thanks for writing this so well.

[@StarFoxLazer]

Honestly with Sakura it’s established early in that she’s a genius. So adding more breadcrumbs that she wants to be a medical ninja earlier is the way to strengthen her character. Not to mention just adding more of an emphasis that she is weirdly strong will set her up perfectly

[@TheKillerman3333]

also they shouldn't have waited until boruto to state how difficult it is to be medical ninja. Sakura explains that the reason her duaghter can't do it is becuase it requires an insane amount of chakra control.

[@ZarBluestar]

I mean. When team 7 was set up, they put the highest scoring (Sasuke) with the lowest scoring (Naruto) as well as Sakura being right in the middle - the average shinobi academy graduate So I’d say it’s more that in part 1 Kishinoti didn’t really have any direction/ideas for what he wanted to do with Sakura and fell into tropes as a crutch while contradicting himself so many times

[@mr.protagonist5639]

[@Judefluff525]

@@qwirktthis is a fucking weird comment

[@nicodemusedwards6931]

Step 1: *Fix her relationship with Sasuke* Since they end up together give them like… actual reasons to like each other beyond “Sasuke is cute emo.” After the whole “You’re a pest” thing maybe have Sakura actually look into Sasuke’s life and realize how much shit he’s gone through, causing them to become closer as she legit tries to understand him. And while he feels she doesn’t/couldn’t understand, he does recognize and appreciate her TRYING to reach out and understand him. Even if his edgy ass doesn’t accept readily. That would give a lot more meaning to the “thank you” at the valley of the end. He’d be thanking her for a whole lot more. Step 2: *Develop her Talents* Sakura becoming a skilled medical ninja and heavy hitter makes sense in the series. But keep focusing on her Chakra Control and planning. Have her learn Genjutsu themed around her aesthetic and prowess. Sasuke uses mindfuck domination Genjutsu. Maybe Sakura’s genjutsu is supposed to focus on medical purposes. Sedating and distracting people in surgery, which she applies in combat to create openings and make people susceptible to other things. Have her knowledge as a Ninja be used to decipher techniques so she can either power through herself or inform allies how to overcome them. Maybe she doesn’t 12 chess gigaplan things, but she’s good at understanding concepts and abilities. Step 3: *Just have her help more* Just… have her be more actively useful in the story. Show how important she is to the team and how they work. If you really wanna have it be the Team 7 show, make Sakura’s bond with Sasuke integral to bringing him back to the village and not just Naruto’s. Edit: Oh. For da movie… I dunno.

[@ZeeB...]

I agree, we needed to see her be more active and show more of her capabilities in battles.

[@MagillanicaLouM]

You raise an important point near the end in that there wasn't much focus on like, the team aspect of team 7 to begin with. We got inoshikacho and the logic for why team 8 is set up how it is and its usefulness, but teams 7 doesnt really get opportunity to be a team and grow as a unit before Sasuke leaves, and any attempts are mostly Sannin parallels done in Shippuden during the war iirc.

[@ZeeB...]

@MagillanicaLouM My thoughts as well and looking at Boruto, Sarada, and Mitz and how they combine their charka to enhance Boruto's attack is how I kinda imagine team 7 teamwork to be.

[@karsten69]

I'd be okay with Sakura badmouthing Naruto, IF when Sasuke (someone she cares about) calls her out on it, she takes that criticism to heart and reflects on it. And then apologize to Naruto. I'd be okay with her being weak in the Land of Waves arc, IF, when she comes home, she reflects and goes, "I nearly died... I wasn't ready and I was only a liability." And then have a 20 second scene where she confronts Kakashi like, "I almost died, teach me something useful, and do it properly."

Years ago I was one of the few people who pointed out Naruto's obsession with Sasuke wasn't normal. At that point Sasuke had done enough for me to label him as a enemy and I was so annoyed Naruto wouldn't do the same. If my best friend tried to kill me or my family and friends then went on to be a terrorist I'm not gonna be his friend anymore. Lol But nobody was mature enough to have that conversation back then.

[@202cardline]

Bro my 4th grade self thought sauske was a little bitch. I then proceeded to mentally fanfiction a self insert Uchia that wasn’t a little bitch. And to make the fact team seven suddenly had four people on a squad consistent to the new lore, I made a new character for every other team. The outfits were nonsensical. Ah…those were the days. What were we talking about?

[@txmothy]

i feel like sakura was written as a side character but placed into a lead role, so just make her a side character. people love hinata, konan, ino, and they all have some of the same issues that Sakura has, but nobody bats an eye because they have less screentime.

[@littenfire3563]

Exactly. I've always said Sakura feels like a side character forced into the role of a main character

[@maomi1852]

All team 7 are side characters. When Kishimoto first wrote Naruto he was supposed to be a naughty fox spirit that did pranks and stuff. The editor was the one that changed Naruto to a kid, and later on told Kishimoto to give Naruto a rival, so he came up with Sasuke, then he told him to make a team of 3 to be balanced, so came Sakura because they thought it would make sense to have a girl. There's even an interview where he has a diagram of the order he came up with the characters. Even the chunnin exam arc was the editor's idea. This is why Naruto has many plot holes and characters that are set up to be great that further on have no screentime or become useless.

Part 1 sakura is more nuanced than people think. And please stop calling sasuke abusive to her in part 1. Literally sasuke has shown nothing but caring and concern and only mild annoyance for her. Sakura never hated Naruto. Just found him annoying for his attention seeking and insensitively called him undisciplined because he has no parents. She just leached off what she saw the grown ups feel. I like some of the ideas but i feel you have a misunderstanding of part 1 sakura.

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Yeah part 1 Sasuke actually is pretty chill around Sakura, wasnt she the one that got to calm him down when the curse mark first activated (and it triggering in the first place was him getting pissed at the sound trio when she was fighting them off)? I won't deny stuff in Shippuden makes the romance a bit headscratching, but when they were properly Team 7, the few interactions with just the 2 of them very easily show there was a lil something, as much as you can get from a manga character meant to be stoic and has other stuff going on like Sasuke. At the very least you definitely can't say he DIDN'T care about her in p1, certainly not abusive

[@melp_miranda]

Sasuke and Sakura need a movie just like the last, could be them travelling together or something. That would fix the lacking emphasis on his true feelings about her throughout the anime.

I feel like the problem with Sakura is the exact opposite. She's fine in the first part of Naruto (in terms of how she is with Sasuke). He's THE boy to like. All the girls have a crush on him. She's just a 12 y/o who thinks her first 'love' is the one. It's how she is STILL that bad after 3 years of not being around him. Even Ino was like, that guy? Be for real. There's nothing there. THEN he tries to kill her and she still is like, be my baby daddy.

So correction: a large portion of the girls that were in Sasuke's class had a crush on him, particularly the ones who care about being "popular" or in the "in-crowd" which would exclude Hinata who didn't care about being popular of course, and Ten-ten wasn't in their class so she too probably didn't care about him.

[@Couldnt_think_of_anything]

The best way to make Sakura better is to just make her change. It’s fine if she starts off as a Sasuke fan girl. I would have her stop hitting Naruto though. In the land of waves you should have her change. Make her go from a fan girl to someone who is growing to understand the ninja world. In the forest of death make sure you show that change. In her fight with Ino have her win. She wins because she’s no longer a fan girl so she has trained and has grown stronger by training as a ninja.

[@yukinablossom5459]

The SasuSaku moments definitely can be seen in OG Naruto after the whole Sasuke’s curse mark activating for the first time. One biggest issue is probably where Sakura will have strong moments but then the moments of Sasuke and Naruto outclass her or overshadow her. Like when she punches the clone thing from the 10 tails in the war arc. And then both naruto and sasuke swoop in to kagutsuji and rasenshuriken that said clone when she clearly could’ve handled it on her own. Ofc Naruto isn’t about relationships and romance really but like maybe putting in a moment of sasuke at Orochimaru’s hideout looking at a cherry blossom tree or something. He doesn’t even have to say anything

[@cassiusfelix2805]

Its kinda ridiculous that people hate her for "bullying Naruto as a kid" when literally EVERYONE in the village bullied him when he was a kid, and most of them were adults. She was 13. Kids that age do crazy things to fit it. And not only did she do it for that reason, she also did it because he always annoyed her. If you were constantly hit on and expressed your disinterest in the person flirting with you and they KEEP hitting on you, like how she did with Sasuke, of course they are going to be kinda rude at some point to the person still hitting on them. Sasuke called her annoying. And she told Naruto the same thing and more. The onoy difference is gender. Sasuke couldnt hit Sakura for constantly flirting with him because he is a boy and she is a girl, but Sakura could hit Naruto for whipping his dick out to pee right in front of her, she could punch him for being disrespectful towards women whenever he used his "sexy jutsu" and she could hit him when he scared her on purpose. That is not a valid reason to hate her if you are not going to hate on everyone else for it too. Oh! And NC cutting their hair was a HUGE thing. Idols in Japan will cut their hair to show remorse for something and show resolve to change. Serena from Pokemon does the same thing. It is symbolic of letting go of your past self. If you have grown your hair out for YEARS and then decide to change and you make the call to cut your hair that you've been growing for 8 years, then that is a big change that you cannot reverse, so it is seen as committing to your evolution. I am a woman by the way, and I dont need Sakura to be changed, I would LIKE her to not be so dependent on liking Sasuke. But I liked her in OG Naruto. And loved her in Shippuden. So I dont need it. I just need her to still BE in the live action adaptation. A story for boys about boys should NEVER focus ONLY on boys. Otherwise it will teach boys the wrong things. They need to see that women are just as strong and capable and smart as them. That women exist and are just as valid as them. The same is true of stories written for girls. They need to see that boys are just as good as them.

[@pushyrummble8625]

Mainly hater her because she was given the screen time and also showed her double standards. She's making fun of naruto for being an orphan while loving sauske while he was an orphan. That where people saw her as a nasty person and her simply hitting naruto or talking shit about him makes her never seem to change her tune about what she said before thus people never liking her.

[@Sakachi18]

@pushyrummble8625 LOL, yes, but again, she was 13. Kids perform double standards all the time to fit in and look cool. She was making fun of Naruto being an orphan, not because she actually has a problem with orphans, but because she was trying to look cool for her crush. She knew Sasuke was always trash talking Naruto, so she thought it would gain her some favor with Sasuke if she trash talked Naruto too. It was more one of those things where she just said the first thing that popped into her head without really thinking and tried to play it cool while she did it thinking it would make Sasuke like her more. That's just how kids think, if they bully someone lower than them, it will make themselves higher up and make them more well liked among their peers, especially among those who usually find it fun and cool to bully that kid. And again, most of the time she only hit Naruto when he was doing something wrong, like him being a perv or something. The more mature he got, the better he behaved and the less she hit him. Not saying every single time she hit him, that she was in the right. But I think people gave her too much flak for that. Some people don't learn unless they have physical repercussions for their actions, no matter what you say to them or how many times you tell them, some people only learn through getting their butts beat. That is sadly just a fact of life. Not saying Naruto or Sakura are one of them or anything. But Jiraya seemed to be, and Naruto ended up learning from him, while Sakura learned from Tsunade. So their masters both rubbed off on their students in different ways. It makes it kinda hard to fully blame Sakura for her actions when her actions were directly spurred on by Naruto's actions. Plus, when you are younger it is harder to control your emotions. So while I do not fault Naruto for ALL of his stupidity, I do fault him for SOME of the things he did. Likewise I think Sakura hitting him was justified sometimes, not every single time, but enough that people should really go back and re-evaluate hoe often she hit him, and compare it to WHY she hit him, before they make such rash judgements and blindly hate her for no good reason.

[@desolation1821]

In order to write Sakura faithfully and well into a movie charakter they need to show all her issues and then she needs to have a struggle that leads to growth and her resolving or improving those issues. 1.) Her being useless -> she fights and gets stomped on and almost dies/ can't protect Naruto or Sasuke while they do all the heavy lifting -> trains hard to get stronger. 2.) Her being a bully to Naruto -> she gets flag for it from Sasuke -> her reflecting on her behavior and doing better. 3.) Her being too obsessed with Sasuke even though he is an asshole towards her -> her reflecting on that -> her being more independent. The third point is a bit harder because love is a motherfucker. It can lead us to do things that don't make sense like suffer a toxic and abusive partner. But in my opinion, all these things need to be there, for her to become a good character. I think people hate her so much because she judt took too long to overcome her shortcomings and by the point she did, most people have made up their minds about her. So to adapt her for a live action movie, this character development that she went through, needs to happen in a more condensed fashion. I think skipping her character development and putting her on the sidelines entirely would be a mistake especially if they needed to pick it up in the future. And hey depending on how much the movie covers in terms of story, it's fine if she doesn't resolve all her issues at the end of the first one. It's fine if she just stops bullying Naruto and gets less obsessed with Sasuke. Leave the getting stronger part for the second movie. Otherwise it would have to be a movie about her and not about Naruto.

Honestly, if they used a similar framing device as How I Met your Mother and have Naruto narrate his life to a young Boruto and have him reflect on the key moments and battles that helped him become hokage it could really help with the pacing and the way certain characters shaped him, including Sakura. Having him explain key events and his opinions on some characters, including Sakura can add extra depth and give us something different, as well as prevent the viewers from making comparisons to the show. It could also have Naruto express his opinions on her outside the lens of a childhood crush and show that even though she wasn't the greatest she still mattered.

[@cohenvale6342]

Imo, its kinda sad that Kishimoto focused way too much on Naruto and Sasuke in Shippuden. I mean, not trying to make an argument of "this did it better so its better", but MHA handles its characters well. I dont even know why some of the kids reason they chose to become ninja, outside clan responsibility, or what their dreams are. For a series about teamwork, it felt like in Shippuden that was lost a lot. In MHA, we know that much at least and see how different teammates sync up. Not even trying to bash Naruto. Its just looking back after realizing Sakura and Tenten were underutilized as well as so many others like Kiba and Shino (seriously, we dont even know them that well). Heck i still didnt feel much for Asuma, cuz i didnt get to know him that well. Til a filler arc i watched involving him and that temple. Edit: sakura shoulda learned 8 gates for taijutsu. And just rmemebering how Sasuke even told her that she needed to train. Youd think she'd respect his wish while hes recovering but as bro said, she pickin flowers

[@emm308]

As a girl who grew up with naruto, sakura was the heroine i was given to identify with and root for. And i did. But i was always so disappointed by how underdevloped she was. I never lost respect for her as a character, but i did lose respect at many point for how sidelined she got or how basic her motivations were. Probably why i ended up reading (and writing) so much fanfic about her over the years lol, many of which actually explore her potential. And holy shit yes i hope they improve sasuke x sakura's romantic development. Now that we know they're canon, they have no excuse not to write it better from the beginning. I love this ship, especially now in boruto. Hope that it, and sakura in general, get the development they finally deserve.

First, I am completely against changing another series to match what is politically correct in 2024, these people live in completely different worlds and social structures than ours and tbh its way less progressive to dislike Sakura cuz she has flaws than try and make her perfect so she can be PC. Second, all of the people who hate on Sakura are just mad she isnt the character they wan't her to be. Sakura was never going to be as strong as Naruto or Sasuke because she wasnt one of the two main characters and her strength was comparable to other not main characters on the show. She was a bully to a kid that was annoying her when they were young but that is something that happens. In the end Sakura accomplished a lot and became one of the top doctors in the world and from her perspective and the other characters in the show appreciate her and find her extremely useful. Not all characters are going to be written the way that everyone wants but to ignore and hate on that character because she wasnt who they wanted her to be is what is wrong with extreme progressiveness today. I love women and want them to have equal rights to men in every way but continuing to change characters and stories to make these women look perfect is just a disservice to any character because no character can be flawless or they will have no way to change or grow so they will never have character development other than the current hollywood character development blueprint "girl realizes she is perfect just the way she is and achieves ultimate power or lifetime goals." There is a reason that Fallout and One piece worked when other series have failed, even tho they may have made changes some people didnt like they both understood what really mattered about both series and the characters in one piece conveyed their manga counterparts well and the fallout characters and story fit in the Fallout world. Lastly I hate it when people disrespect an artist work from 20 years ago just because it doesnt live up to their supposed values that arent even realistic most of the time and If someone loves Naruto then they should respect the authors work and accept that the characters in these shows dont have to be perfect, especially the women even tho hollywood does have an issue with unrealistic depictions of men as well but at least they can have flaws. The only thing worse than trying to make every woman perfect is when they make the guys look like complete morons just to make the "perfect" women look even better by comparison like Ghost Busters.

Cause even Kishimoto didn't like how he handled her character. And by your logic we couldn't criticize media at all 😂

[@jakethornton4856]

@@ItachiUchiha-sh6of I did watch the video and I'm saying im tired of people and hollywood wanting to change characters from awesome stories just cuz that character isnt "perfect" in their eyes. The story of Naruto is great as it is that's why the show has the fans it has and changing another female character just so she lines up with modern values is stupid and tbh a lot of what is politically correct now is stupid. He talks about how the show is all about the boys in early naruto and thats fine cuz they are the main characters and he complains that Sakura duznt have a reason to love sasuke and they should tone that down when no person has to have a specific reason to love anyone, she likes sasuke for the same reason the other girls do cuz they think he's hot. The reason that Sakura wasnt strong early on is because she didnt want to be and part of her character development was deciding that she wanted to be strong and the story showing what happens that leads up to that because naruto and sasuke both had goals when they were young and sakura didnt really. Hinata went through a similar storyline of deciding to get stronger. My issue is with people deciding to hate Sakura because she isnt the character they want her to be instead of accepting her the way she is because no character in a story has to live up to any fans expectations so long as what they do makes sense for that character and story and the writers arent giving that person unearned powers or making them do stupid stuff for "girl power" which is why a lot of people are criticizing media because of stuff like Star Wars and Captain Marvel. People want faithful adaptations like One Piece and Fallout that make the watcher feel like they are watching more of the show they loved not a story that kills ur immersion but changing stuff to make it more diverse and politically correct

Also there would be no point in making a live action if they just do the exact sane thing but with worse graphics. Sakuras's character is presented terribly during part 1.

Another reason to cut (limit) Sakura's role is how western movies (especially American movies) have to have the "Girl Boss" character & the bait & switch replacing the main character for a female character while cucking the main male character. If they focus on Sakura the woke mob will demand she be this amazing girl boss that never struggles with anything at the cost of Naruto himself (which'll ruin Sasuke's story & the whole plot of Naruto). In order to prevent that from happening just cutting Sakura completely might be the smarter choice (since the woke mob won't know because they don't actually watch things). If they Girl Boss Sakura that'll ruin the biggest storyline she has (besides the whole Sasuke & bullying Naruto) is she believe herself better then others because she had the top marks & because she so smart she overestimates her own abilities as a Ninja in part 1. It wasn't until after part 1 of Naruto she learns that being book smart alone isn't enough you need to practice, train & be willing to put your life on the line to be strong. FYI I don't hate Sakura like most fans do & she does have character growth, but she's suffered from being on the same team as Naruto & Sasuke. if for example Hinata was on Team 7 instead of Sakura she'd be more liked by fans instead of hated (because her lack of development came at the cost of Naruto, Sasuke & Kakashi stories). Just for everyone sake & to make it easier to understand cutting Sakura (or moving her to another team) would be better for a movie version.

What? Like what? Nick, as a person who claims to know Naruto, you know nothing about Sakura. 1) Her cutting her hair is the character development. When we meet her, she cares only about Sasuke and wants him to acknowledge her. That's why her hair is long - because Sasuke likes it, so her cutting her hair is not "I'm gonna give up my beauty 🥺", it's "I can't worry about nothing else except protecting my friends". It's literal "cutting" of her need of Sasukes approval for safety of her team. 2) it's a good end of her first arc. She had unrealistic expectations of herself and Sasuke. She needed to address them. She did that first in 1st part of exams, when thought about Sasuke failing didn't even CROSS HER MIND, because she was so focused on saving Naruto and his unrealistic (then) dreams of becoming Hokage. Second is in forest of death when she had to protect Naruto and berate Sasuke for giving up. 3rd when it comes down to just her protecting both Naruro and Sasuke. Until then, she had that image of herself, that she is just as strong as anyone else, but surprise- shes not. Then when she cuts her hair, she is coming to realization that she needs to be better, she needs to be stronger and that she needs to cut off her image of herself and Sasuke. It's a great arc for a 12 yo girl. It seems like you just don't understand it.

[@Student-jt4ht]

Keeping Sakura's inherited dislike for Naruto should be kept but as the movie progress her attitude towards him would shift into her questioning why everyone in the village hated him I mean she would still think that he's an Idiot but would learn to like and respect the lovable idiot. And yes her girlish crush for Saskue should also be kept but it would blossom from infatuation into wanting to have a relationship but would be unrequited. Giving her the Genjitsu ability won't change anything major in the movie but it would help her not look useless. This would happen after the Bell training exercise and she would use this on the first battle with those two missing nin chunins when they would attack the guy they were escorting but would hit her illusion instead giving Saskue and Kakashi time to dispose of them. This would give her something to do and make feel Naruto's temporary cowardice more effective and solidifying his resolve not to run away the next battle (him stabbing his hand with his kunai). And during their Tree walking exercise she should train her Charka Control more and would strengthen her Genjitsu ability (I would like her to learn medical Ninjitsu but it would be a stretch as no one they know would be able to teach her that unless Copy-cat Kakashi copied it during his time with Rin). And with her strengthen Genjitsu ability she would be able to hide with their escort for a time and fool Zabuza once when he tries to attack her and the escort but he would figure it out the second time and would not be fooled again. And after that the story should flow like the same as the original or they make some movie type edits that's like the original story but different at the same time (movie stuff you know what I mean) and the movie ends with Sakura having some character and ability growth.

Don't forget about the other girls as well. After she left Tsunade, Ino could've went to study wirh either Aoba Yamashiro or Anko. Tenten should've learned chakra flow, so her weapons cutting power would be upgreated (Asuma's speech to Naruto comes to mind). If she had wind nature she could study with Asuma. This could lead her to siging a contract with monkey king Enma. She is a weapons user, he can turn into adamantine staf; it fits perfectly. Hinata (& Neji) learn medical ninjutsu, alongside Sakura and Ino. Tsunade propose thag every cell should have a med-nin, but when she had the power to make it happen, she didn't.
