What is Sakura's purpose?


I just started Naruto and I'm almost done with season 1... and still I don't see the point of Sakura.

She doesn't fight...

She isn't pleasant...

She doesn't contribute anything to the show, besides I guess being the token girl character. What is her point?

Any Questions??

I've read the entire manga. She serves no purpose.

She's there to make you mad. Whether you're a fan of her or not, she's just there to make everyone mad in every different way.

At first I was liek :D
Then I was french for the rest of the day :}D

She is there to create a love triangle.

Sakura is actually a lot more tolerable and likable in the manga, the anime kind of messed her character up and made her more annoying than she was actually intended.

The closest we ever get to seeing "manga Sakura" in the anime, is in The Last and Boruto the Movie, since Kishimoto was involved with both of those productions (of course, Kishi wrote the entire script for Boruto, while The Last's script was heavily edited by him).

Glad to see no one has changed.

I suppose she was a little better in the gaiden. Though she didn't get much opportunity to beat up Naruto or other crap as she was busy doing the dishes.

Useless sums her up; though cannon fodder isnt all useless as she took punches keeping them off sasuke in that one exam. I keep seeing her in situations running minutes of commentary and I'm like just punch someone or do something already. And her opposite shadow outline that yells is annoying.

I thought the Inner Sakura was the less annoying one.

Sakura is THE strongest and smartest female character. Just wait and see.
I have never understand why people complaints about Sakura and no one complaints about Hinata.

Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language

Trust me, there's a LOT of people who like to complain about Hinata. Have you seen some of the user reviews for The Last?! Hell, there's even anti-Hinata groups all over Tumblr, Facebook, and even DeviantArt!

They might not be as vocal as Sakura haters (whom I can't stand either, because it's pointless to hate Sakura, and I've already gotten over my anti-Sakura phase years ago), but I have seen many Hinata haters left and right.
