I've only read up to vol. 38... has Sakura already stopped sucking by vol 43?

[KakuTheGiraffe]

I mean, is she able to do anything more than trying to heal Naruto or crying because of how useless she is?

EDIT: Sorry, I ment vol. 38, not 40.

Sakura' s the worst. In two years, can someone manage that much power? Just impossible. And her monstrous strength, where is it from? Just because Tsunade has a monstrous strength and is her mentor doesn' t mean she can have it too. Sure there were showing some inner Sakura inside her in the beginning when she was a kid, but nothing about a monstrous physical strength.
Sakura and Sasuke always get the best... so much favoritism... (poor Naruto, he trained 2 years with Jiraiya and didn' t get stronger, maybe slightly... but look at Sakura and Sasuke, they' re both become so powerful...) such favoritism...

She has the best Chakra Control of all of the Genin (then genin anyways). Her strength is from using that control and enhancing her blows and hits with just the right amount of chakra without exhausting herself.

I thought it was about time that the main female in the manga actually DID something, so I was ecstatic when Shippuuden came about. Yeah, Sasuke and Sakura did seemingly progress better than Naruto, be he's still a ton better and a great ninja. Plus, it's Naruto's determination a will that cause him to get better. When it comes down to it, when Naruto matures more and finally grows up completely, he'll be a badass ninja.

shes the weakest of the three but still strong and smart, she did take out one of peins summons and beat sasori so0o0o0o0o0

Watching more and more shippuuden, Sakura gets so moody. She always hits Naruto and most of it for no reason. She' s becoming sooo unbearable! She acts like she knows all, always gets bossy around all the other guys... How her team manage to put up with such a girl is beyond me. The useless Sakura wasn' t that bad. She gained some powers and already acts high.

I'm almost positive that the way Sakura acts is a defense mechanism. Sakura knows that Naruto and Sasuke naturally have more potential than her and that she will never be able to become as strong as them. Her tough, know-it-all act is just her trying to hide insecurities and look after Naruto (*cough* whom she has feelings for *cough*).

[Cupi~chan]

I agree with you. Though I think she' s going too far. And hitting Naruto too much even when he says annoying things that has nothing to do with her, or isn' t worth hitting for. She' s just bossy annoying.

Much to Naruto's fancy, Sakura will never stop sucking.

Sakura really seemed to like sexy yaoi justsu

[Mr. sickVisionz]

Sakura is insane. I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm not sure what volume/chapter it is... but she fights like 100 puppets and an Akatsuki member head on and kicks his ***.

She went from being a super loser who could only bite people (forest of death) and cry to a super genius medical ninja with the strength and ability to fight Akatsuki members head on like its nothing. Plus, she's cold. In the filler arc she defeated someone with powers similar to Genjutsu and then proceeded to execute that person on screen.

[Cupi~chan]

That' s what we were talking about. How strong she got overnight...^_^
Two years... It' s not a long time enough to get that much power, even if she did she should need more experience, but looking at her it' s like she' s been doing this for at least 5 years... Look at Naruto? He learned almost nothing in two years in his training with Jiraiya...
