Of course in power level gap she is second to Sansuke and Naruto still but then everyone else are (expect perhaps Killer Bee and five kages).<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Oh, she had an elderly woman doing most of the work. :P<br/><br/>Granted, that<em> was</em>badass and it got me hoping that maybe Sakura would finally be useful and we would finally have a strong female protagonist....
