@ImNotGoodWithUsernameslmao whatever progress she made in the fight was ultimately undermined because Sasori let himself die in the end. He also basically won that fight, he landed a fatal blow on Sakura and Chiyo was poisoned. Had he not committed suicide by Chiyo he would have finished off both of them.

I also never said Sakura couldnt take Shin. She shit stomps him if she can close the gap. Im saying Shin at best falls somewhere mid-Akatsuki level.

I actually like Sakura as well. She is a powerhouse and a great med ninja. She has the tool set to be one of the biggest contributers. The problem is she never actually had any major/useful contributions to the series. Shin was the only enemy she was ever able to take on her own. Her med-ninjutsu never saved anyone particularly important either.
