Wasn't Sakura supposed to originally be a genjutsu type? What ever happened to that?

Her being a woman counters anything that might make her awesome. Damn it, Kishimoto.

[volkner.livejournal.com]

At first she was very skilled in it.

But after awhile she realized she was weak and went under training.

gj Kishimoto for changing her character :3b

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

I remember after the timeskip when Sakura first showed her super strength, Kakashi thought that not only does she have the same powers as Tsunade (including med jutsu) but also is originally a genjutsu type so she might even surpass Tsunade completely...but that's all we heard of it. :(

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

That's why it'll pop up right at the end of the series, when Sasuke tries to put her in a genjutsu, she breaks out of it, and then epically punches his lights out!

*is a pathetic, desperately hoping soul*

[anat-astarte.livejournal.com]

This is what I want and am waiting to see too. Kishi seems to like tying present matters to established past events and conversations doesn't he? :D

[orangefoxfetish.livejournal.com]

If she does this, I will forgive her for everything she may have done that I dislike.

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

The author changed his mind?

You misread something?

I'm pretty sure it was just Sasuke remarking that Sakura had a knack for detecting genjutsu. Not necessarily that she was remarkably good at it or enything.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

HE DOES INDEED.

*crosses fingers*

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

Kakashi mentioned it himself.

[anzu-less.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. I've always prayed and hoped for training with Kurenai, but now that she's preggo I guess she's been reduced to an angsty baby holder... /sigh. Yeah, it'll probably pop up at the end somewhere, but I don't think it will be featured.

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

'Cause we all know how good Kakashi was at relaying 'facts' in the first couple 100 of chapters...

*coughhyugadon'tturnouttobeuchihaancestorslikehesaidtheydidcough*

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

i don't think that's so much a specific and intentional characteristic of Kakashi as it is evidence of Kishimoto's forgetfulness/sometimes poor storytelling.

[subieko.livejournal.com]

I think Kishi forgot. Either that or he meant she was good at cancelling genjutsu, not casting them. We do see her cancel a few high-level genjutsu--she and Chiyo even cancel Itachi's genjutsu.

[subieko.livejournal.com]

OH MAN I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN SO BAD.

[leaf-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

Tsunade got a hold of her and taught her how to destroy a rock by punching it.

[leaf-kunoichi.livejournal.com]

This.

[tothe-slaughter.livejournal.com]

You're kidding right.

Women in this series specialize in one thing.

And that's tears.

[anat-astarte.livejournal.com]

Love your icon! XD

[anat-astarte.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[masochista.livejournal.com]

LMFAO

also oh my god what is this squalo icon i don't know you anymore

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

Or...maybe he just changed his mind. It's a thought.

[tothe-slaughter.livejournal.com]

You evidently haven't been paying much attention to my movements in fandom.

[masochista.livejournal.com]

No, I meant that as: "Oh my god, Squalo, not that loser."

[rend-dx.livejournal.com]

Genjutsu has always been shortchanged in the series. Really though, if you disregard the Sharingan, genjutsu really hasn't been used much at all. =|

[bjorkubus.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping she'd poke his eyes through his skull much like Black Adam did to Psycho Pirate. Eyeballs flying through the skull included.

This is Naruto, though.. so he wouldn't die like Psycho Pirate.

[tothe-slaughter.livejournal.com]

Got something to say about Squalokorvaedkavetch.

[masochista.livejournal.com]

Yeah.





He's a loser.

[bjorkubus.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Naruto and Sasuke are pretty good that that, too.

And, more recently, Gaara. WITH HIS SINGLE EPIC TEAR.

[tothe-slaughter.livejournal.com]

Damn. The truth stings.

[tothe-slaughter.livejournal.com]

...YOU THOUGHT THOSE WERE GUYS?

[bjorkubus.livejournal.com]

MY BAD.

[strange_quark]

You are, truly, a woman after my own god damn heart.

This will happen or I will break things.

[strange_quark]

I

You

I

Marry me.

[strange_quark]

This wasn't just in the first 100 chapters, it was after the time skip, too.

"Sakura was originally a genjutsu type."

[senior-witch.livejournal.com]

It's at the end of volume four when they register for the Chuunin exam, and actually it was Sasuke who saw through the illusion, but he tried to encourage Sakura, who was very inconfident of herself at that point.

[senior-witch.livejournal.com]

I think the problem is the Sharingan. One of its powers is genjutsu. I can hardly see Sakura counter something like the Tsukuyomi. Maybe get out of it, but not cast a genjutsu that is as evil.

[braver.livejournal.com]

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. LIKE NOW. xD

[oddityangel.livejournal.com]

'No more silly faces.'

[omizu.livejournal.com]

I think the problem is that the Sharingan hasn't shown it's complete full OMG IT MAKES FRIES power yet.

that's the only way I can see the kyuubi being led around..by it's nose.

I mean...after that Sasuke will be able to even procreate with himself by himself because of his Sharingan. TRUEFAQS

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

You also have to consider that these aren't real people that change their mind as time goes on for various reasons.

They're fictional characters created by a single creator, which means they don't do anything their creator doesn't make them do.

Kakashi would only change his mind if Kishimoto intentionally decided that he would change his mind for story purposes, which we wouldn't know unless there was a panel explicitly talking about how he changed his mind, which hasn't happened yet and probably won't (until it becomes relevant story-wise).

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

I remember that. It was so cute :( Where'd that Sasuke go?

[sidesmile.livejournal.com]

Oh when Sasuke wasn't such a douche~ That was a sweet lil' scene.

[numara.livejournal.com]

omg, it's not even funny how hard i lol'd at that.

THANK YOU KIND SIR/MADAM.

[lightina-hime.livejournal.com]

Pfft, that would be AWESOME!

[lightina-hime.livejournal.com]

Agreed so hard.

[tothe-slaughter.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME. :|

Lamb's the name. Pleasure to meet you.

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

You also have to consider that I wasn't talking about Kakashi.

I was talking about Kishimoto.

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

lol i forgot you existed for a second there. ok.

[veins-as-string.livejournal.com]

I'd just like to point out that I love every single person who posted here xD You are all made of awesome, I got some laughs from this.

and you all made some good points.
