Welcome to MH !

So you like Narto? Then I have a question for you.
What is Sakura contribution plot-wise to naruto now?
Thank you.
For the moment, we are yet to see, overall is this:
One of the major themes in Naruto is holding on to your humanity. As Kishimoto stated himself, he wanted to show her off as an irritating character with good intentions. He even told that he is fond of Sakura because from all the characters, she has a more human feel to her than the other characters.
But putting that aside, as I said it's about holding on to your humanity, emotions and, as well, protecting the ones you love. Becoming a tool in this old idea which seems to be discarded by many, but getting back in time look at Haku and Zabuza, Sasori, it was all about being a ninja tool and in order to be able to do that one must kill his emotions, yet, in the end, was that humanity that they came back to and they sacrificed themselves in order to make a way for a hopeful future where ninjas are more humanized, when all put aside their pains, hatred so on and so forth - and here we relate to Pein arc. Once again, great example of holding to your humanity.
Sakura revolving around Sasuke's existance (another of the points risen by others)? While this might be true up to a certain point, she developed more than that, she put aside her weakness for him and started working to get better and better. If you're going to bring me that thing with killing Sasuke, that once again represents an example of where emotions come in play.
Sakura failing to kill Sasuke happened because her emotions got in the way, yes, but look at the decision she had to make here. She took it upon herself to try and kill the boy she loves, the boy she previously sworn to protect, which goes against a major theme in Naruto. If Sakura killed Sasuke, she would have lost a part of herself that made her human and destroyed the ideal of protecting her loved ones. Since she is the EMBODIMENT of this ideal, it would have made no sense, story wise, for her to actually kill Sasuke. This is very obvious.
Sasuke represents that weak part that we all have. It's balance, yin and yang, you name it.
While Naruto is her strong part, Sasuke is her weak part. In Team 7 she always was the balance between Naruto and Sasuke.
While she was some sort of genius in her own way, like Sasuke, and untalented ninja as Naruto.
Genius because out of K11, Sakura's been noted the most intelligent. Intelligent as in book-worm, not tactician as Shikamaru, don't misinterpret that and untalented as Naruto because we saw that she didn't have anything special, she was just literally applying the teachings from ninja classes and Naruto was as well, untalented at the beginning, if you remember.
Wasn't able to do a proper bunshin.
So, as you can see, she has one of the biggest plot-relevance. You can dislike her but that doesn't mean she's not belonging to this story when she is centered around the most important idea/message of this manga.
But people usually see the surface of stories rather than the depths (I am talking overall, not just you

).
Sorry if I took it too far, heheh. ^_^
Cleary trolling htere Boss - but I love you still.
Sakura is not a character in Naruto anymore.
Says who? Last time that I checked, Kishi introduced her in the chapters along with Konoha 11 and directed a movie where he went more in depths with her.
So yeah, she still is a character.
Boss insulting my Bleach, and Charlie liking the post? You BOTH dead to me.
Chatte, what does your nick name mean? What's the little story behind it?
The story behind it is this:
Long time ago, dunno if you guys know, there was a TV show called Mutant X.
I liked very much Shalimar Fox because her DNA mix was based on ferals/felines and as I like felines veeery much, I chose this name which in french means cat as female cat.
Though I am aware in slang means also another thing....
