I just finished watching episode 373 of naruto shippuden and I am so fucking happy that sakura finally showed her strength and that she is actually really strong. This whole time I was so dissapointed that she would keep only being used as a means to heal everyone, which of course isn't bad either but she was never supposed to only be a medical shinobi but also one that fights. I thought it was a waste because she is very capable and really intelligent and it wouldn't have made sense for her to keep being a passive character. It dragged itself out for so long but finally she's showing her true fighting ability, I'm so happy. Everyone kept saying she's just useless so I almost thought she would never really take active part in a proper fight. Also she's not even useless, healing abilities are just as important, if not more than fighting abilities. She and Tsunade as well are always the backbone of the medics which is super useful and important. I suppose not liking her can be justified but baselessly discrediting her and hating her as much as she is hated is just weird.
