Reminder that sakura was a random citizen of konoha with no clan kekkei genkai or power ups

[@palmtv3538]

But she was still trained by the granddaughter of Hashirama and Hundred Seal is quite the power up. The only random citizen is Lee and might guy as both were literally normal people without great chakra control or chakra

[@jjbro4158]

PREACH🔥

[@VanLe-gk3ie]

Her Byakugou Seal was a convenient asspull to show off in front of Sasuke. Very convenient timing for a Team 7 moment in the war. Why didn’t Sakura pull out the Seal sooner in the war or when Konoha was invaded by the Six Paths of Pain? Oh right, she’s storing it up which makes it lazy writing by Kishimoto. Normal shinobis who are actually better than Sakura who became legends in their own right with no Clan, KG or powerups are: Minato, Sakumo, Chiyo, Hiruzen, Konan, Rock Lee and Might Guy.

[@youbetterwerk5602]

THANK YOU

[@rockzs74r]

Sakura had no clan previlage like all of her friend she is just a daughter of Random Genin. She doesn't have Uzumaki's infinite Chakra, Uchiha's Sharingan, Hyuga's Byakugan, Yamanaka' Mind penetration Technique, Nara's Shadow Binding, or Akimichi's Body enlargement. she didn't have Inuzuka's Dog or Aburame's Insect either. All she got from her family is his father Pink Hair

[@vamp1024]

Sakura is and has ALWAYS been my favorite. From the beginning as a 12-year-old girl to now that I'm 27, I see SO MUCH of myself in her, as well as things I admire in her. I have never understood the hate she gets from the fandom. She's intelligent, DEEPLY devoted and loving, hard working to a fault, self-aware of her flaws, super strong, has PERFECT chakra control, and is the best medic in the entire universe! Yes, she has made mistakes. Yes, she's done a few things that are shitty. But that just makes her more human! She learns from her mistakes, and grows from her earlier toxic behavior. She never stopped loving Sasuke and always believed there was good in him, which some may call naïve, but I found her devotion and patience inspiring. NOT TO MENTION she has to work hard and EARN every power up she gets. She doesn't have kekkei genkai and she isn't a Jinchuriki or a reincarnation of a super-powerful demigod, so none of her power was genetically handed to her. She had REALISTIC character development. I'm beyond proud of how far she has come, and I'd even go so far as to say Sakura is my favorite anime character of all time.

[@justaregularhumanbeing6871]

Hell yeah! Glad to see some love for Sakura.

[@hikari5810]

I’m convinced most people that criticize Sakura see themselves as her, especially her flaws. They read/watch escape from reality so they look up to either heroes that can achieve anything or cold hearted villains that are loved for their specific role in the story, that they got no time to think about how Sakura feels like a real person. She’s a reflection of their mistakes and slow development to adulthood, so they feel threatened by the harsh reality.

[@LadyYukinzaki]

@@nathanmorgan3457 WDYM 💀 if it wasn't for her Sasuke and Naruto wouldn't even be ALIVE. He even says that in the video. And being "important" is different from being "useful". She wasn't "important" because the story was focused on Naruto and Sasuke at the time, but that doesn't mean she wasn't the entire reason they even won. For example Kiba wasn't "important" in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, but he was "useful" for stalling Sakon/Ukon for the Sand Siblings to come. If he didn't Sakon/Ukon would have probably caught up to the other Sound Ninjas and killed the Konoha 12 off. The simple FACT that a shinobi like Sakura who was born to 2 non-shinobi parents became the strongest human unassisted by LITERAL god is insane.

I feel like her being the new Head is interesting. She looked to be the typically type of teen that would definitely be into gossip and finding the right tea/combat intel then grows up to be an agent of extracting information to be quite fitting. Also it would be pretty off-putting and would definitely catch a lot of people off-guard. People assume their interrogator to be intense and intimidating but then are met with Ino's beauty and charm. Taking advantage of their underestimation paired with Ino's intense personality and pride, she'd be able to get the job done. All she needs is hard experience. (Didn't Ibiki go through torture including having a DRILL through the head???)

She could not have been represented worse in og Naruto, but she is the most impressive ninja given her lack of background.

Without Hinata stepping in against pain the nine tails wouldn’t have came out

[@merryrodriguez1172]

And that was the only thing she did in 900 episodes.... No hate tho she's a side character and the thing she did vs pain even choji could do it

[@housestarkmvs6087]

I mean yeah Hinata did it, but only cause she was the only one that really saw what was going on because of her Byakugan. Naruto didnt go mad cause it was Hinata, but rather because it was one of his friends, legit if Choji wouldve jumped in, or Shikamaru he would have reacted the exact same way. And saying "but they didnt do it", yes Hinata had the courage to do it, but also was she pretty much the only one knowing what was going on. If Shikamaru knew that naruto was on the verge of dying right there he wouldve interfered aswell.

[@LNKnK]

​@@housestarkmvs6087 people always say this and it is not verifiable and leans towards unlikely. It's like trying to erase Kishimoto's intentions from the manga. Naruto physically hurt Sakura who he claimed to love messing around with the Ninetail's cloak He knew Jiraiya had fallen to Pain. He learned that Kakashi had just died. So if Naruto would have done that for everyone why didn't he? Why didn't his eyes even go red learning about Kakashi? Going into full 9 tails mode, he/ Kurama is also shown/drawn stepping to the side of Hinata's body when charging at Pain (even though previously with less tails he hurt Sakura). Then Kishimoto again brings up Naruto specifically saying Hinata getting stabbed by Pain was the worst pain of his life. Not losing Sasuke. Not hurting Sakura. Not the loss of Kakashi. Not the loss of Jiraiya. Hinata getting stabbed. The writer wrote that specifically. The writer put Hinata there specifically... Not any other character. So to say he'd do it for anyone is just people projecting their interpretations of Naruto on the manga which was specifically written to show him doing it for Hinata which is emphasized by Naruto doubling down on the pain he felt watching it happen later on. We need a video on the most common head canons people pass off as fact in this series.

Neji was important because of his arc where he learned that Naruto, Son of the fourth Hokage, vessel for 9 tailed fox, and reincarnation of the son of the god of ninjas, was not a weak ninja, due to the circumstances of his birth. Which, alright, he didn't know he was fighting NINJA JESUS, but the other bits still made that a bit silly when you think about it.

I would love a video on what IF orochimaru actually successfully absorbed Kimimaro instead of trying to take over sasukes body and the illness wasn't a factor, how strong could a kimimaro orochimaru become, his wide range of jutsu, his ability to use hashirama etc by resurrecting them and controlling them, combined with the hardened steel bones and snake abilities, coupled with a four tailed hydra with bone protection how strong could he have been and who could he take down if itachi hadn't got him with the totsuka blade 1 shot how much of a threat could he have been, considering he took out one of the kazekage and gaara was hitting kimimaro with a full battlefield full of sand full power sand burial he has some insane durability feats

Wouldn't he lost the body after 3 years? He has to switch bodies even if he doesn't want to also, Does Orochimaru keep the Kekkei Genkais of previous bodies after he switches to a new one? I don't know since he always uses only snakes and his sword to fight, maybe he could install the Kekkei Genkais like Kabuto did but that doesn't need the switching bodies part so maybe it wouldn't make any difference at all if he took his body, he just needed to install his Kekkei Genkai into the newest body to use it.

[@jameelagill5408]

@@imnotakingimnotagodiam..ab9455 Here's the thing, they both are doing a lot but I don't think you realize how significant Sakura's actions are. Sakura came to the realization after the war that most of their adversaries were war orphans who were traumatized by the events of war and whose trauma caused them to lash out against the world. The Ame Orphans, Madara, Obito and even Orochimaru all lost a lot because of war and were traumatized and tormented by it. She realized that the best way to prevent that from happening again was to create a hospital dedicated to giving orphaned children the psychological help and support they need. Kakashi approved it, Tsunade advised and Ino funded it but Sakura created it and is the head of this special hospital. That I'd phenomenal. She recognized the issue. That tons of children were going through this heart ache without any help and so she decided to be the help they needed. She cuts the problem at the root. Instead of just waiting for another traumatized orphan to start a war she took it upon herself to prevent, to the best of her abilities, someone like them starting another world wide apocalypse. So Sakura saved the world, saved hundreds of lives, went around the world helping people and saving lives with Sasuke and created a hospital to help orphan children and give them the support they need.
