But it's a reason, or excuse, not a justification. She's had roughly the same amount of screen time as Temari has, yet Temari is above even Sakura as one of the most competent female ninja in the series.When has Sakura ever been shown to be a bad team mate? In the forest of death she was shown guarding Naruto and Sasuke's comatose bodies with her life against the sound ninja. After the Chuunin Exams she sacrificed herself by jumping in the way of Gaara who was about to crush Sasuke. In part 2 we see her put Chiyo's life above hers multiple times, diving in front of killing blows, offering the last poison antidote to her, etc etc. She's been shown to be extremely selfless and willing to make sacrifices, from the get-go.
She didn't do anything. It's not her fault that Naruto is an idiot. She didn't cause any damage that hadn't already been self-inflicted.
Whoa, what are you doing? You're going to seriously compare her to someone who was a direct ally to the dark Jinchuuriki of the series? If you want to compare her do it to Ino or Tenten, both of whom are only likely to get as much help as Hinata from the writers. Temari was not only deliberately help back for the exams but is also clearly more experienced than the girls of the Rooki 9 and team Gai, whom she was pit against. I'm pretty sure any chuunin would have spanked Tenten just as hard.
When has Sakura been shown to be a bad team mate? *Snickers*, okay;
Throughout the Zabuza arc (she did Nothing), When she shows to have an obvious favourite teammate who she treats entirely differently throughout the most of Pre-Shippuden, That it took her until the end of Naruto to think 'Hey, I haven't done anything, or been useful to anyone like, ever, I should actually Do something about it!' which may be the first time I've ever seen her Train at all =\, That she made a team mate promise to chase the other even when it is very destructive on Naruto and Sasuke doesn't even want it, She Poisons her team outside their country leaving them for anyone for her own revenge, I'm also going to summarize a lot by saying Making bad decisions based on her emotions rather than her brain for the smaller occurrences, She beats the ever living out of her team mates if they piss her off, She also Jumped in the way of Gaara and ended up getting herself captured, couldn't have just pulled him out of the way....
Top of my head.
I dunno, she does hit him Really hard....
Those threads are just terrible ๐
