Sakura has been useful a lot of times before. All this "finally she's useful" comments are just stupid. Just a few chapters ago she uncovered and kicked the ass of the white Zetsu murdering people in her camp in a very badass way and Naruto is now standing cause what she did the last two chapters but the selective memory when it comes to Sakura is astounding.

As someone in the beginning said , Kishi wasn't (isn't) writing story anymore...
Ii mean, as i know, he got his own assistants between 1st and 2nd volume of manga* - ( *ofc he didn't publish volumes of manga, but to describe it easier... so,.. around 7th ep in early SJ), and after the arc with Pein, he made big mistake and "got online" and started writing what others were telling, not his own ideas, because i assume he himself didn't have idea how to unwrap already wide and fcked up story.
So, Kishi, go and read Bakuman for some useful advices, from colleagues Takeshi and Tsugumi.
And nowdays naruto chapters reminds me of GoT, ERRYBODY WANNA GO ON THRUNE!
yeah...
That's a lot of bullshit. You can see how he was setting those three after the sannin ages ago etc. There are tons of indications that this shit where on his mind long ago.

Another thing that annoyed me was after all this time, sakura's character development, she still clings to sasuke, i mean what the fck this guy wanted to rip your throat out and now is suddenly reunited with naruto. But yeah she is like "SASUKE-KUN" and naruto was like i am here to sakura. Now i think kishi intended for that to happen but i really don't know why. You would think after so much time that sakura finally get a fcking clue and acknowledge naruto being their protecting her ass as well. So just what the hell is on your mind kishi?
If i was Kishi i will be banging my head on the wall by the idiocy of my readers. Seriously Sakura hasn't got back to her 12 year old mode ignoring Naruto and such. Look at her response after Naruto said he helped too a little and you might get it. Also look at the scene again with the surprise mark and Sasuke jumping in-frond of her.

LOL Naruto, Konohamaru, Sasuke, Kiba and now Sakura too? LOL Tsunade, it's time to retire.
Sakura is definitely not at the level of Naruto and Sasuke yet...what big talk as usual sakura. And Sakura is not useless, she just let herself be useless. Sakura is still following Tsunade's footstep (Super-strength, Medical-nin, now the diamond thing and wanting to be hokage), but Naruto and Sasuke have already overcome Jiraiya and Orochimaru. So sakura still has a long way to go. But Sakura is the heroine so i hope Kishi stop making her seems useless.
The whole thing is basically a recreation of the sannin trio with a new stronger generation. Sakura definitely ain't stronger than those two but her enthusiasm comes from the fact that at least she can stand fighting at high level like they do and not be like the other ninja around them, that's why she feels she has caught up.
As about her power, i think she already may have surpassed Tsunade or is just one step from doing so. Notice how she said " and i don't even have to worry about keeping my youthful looks" and how the 1st Hogake commented that she may be better than Tsunade? Those are indications that she is above Tsunade or at least that her potential is.

...or when fighting Sasori.
Honestly I can't imagine using such a jutsu towards one rogue ninja, especially since it was 2 on one. It's also possible she wanted to reserve this jutsu for some more important occasion and back then wasn't necessarily that occasion.
Seriously you people have such lame reasoning. The answer is very simple. She couldn't even use her power against Sasori. That whole thing was like a year ago in Naruto years. It was already stated that she was saving chakra for 3 years to make the seal she did now.
It seems she needed that time. Is Naruto or Sasuke the same as that time? Haven't they improved a lot since then? Why assume that Sakura always had the same abilities as she does now? Think people!
It seems that until now she was saving chakra into the seal so she could never utilize her full abilities anyway.
