I disagree. It was the first time that we see the results of her training, as well as actually participating in a proper fight, so it isn't really fair to say that it undermines her progress.

Dodging acid the acid isnt particularly impressive seeing how most important characters at that point move faster than lightning. She also didnt avoid that acid. She lost her sleeve and whole flak jacket because of it.

Sasuke never stated that he couldnt or didnt see her show up. Even her speed feat on Shin can be chalked up to him being to slow to keep up, like Sasuke vs Rock Lee. Later on during their brief fight at Shins hideout Sakura should have been able to take him out if she was as fast you claim.

You are overestimating Shin. He is mid akatsuki level at best.

I really liked her fight against Shin. It's the way she should have been in most of Shippuden. Her evasion and speed were great and it should have been like that as she is supposed to capitalize on these skills as a medical-nin. Also, Sasuke was confident that she could have taken him out by herself, so I definitely think that she could do it. (but Sasuke and the gang arrived so it didn't happen so just try not to think too much about it)

I really like Sakura. I like some parts of her development and I can also relate to her story-wise, and I acknowledge that she became strong. She isn't as useless as people make her out to be. I think that since the 'hate' has lasted this long, there might be something wrong with some people if they still react to her as strongly and can't let it go.
