Sorry,but she was still more useful than almost all the other female characters in that show. Not to mention I think she had possibly the most character development in the series. not thats saying much in general mind you,
Alright ... *cracks knuckles* let's do this.
Rules: We're going by the biggest achievement each girl has done. The minor / helpful things can suffice, but i'm focusing on the major parts. Remember i'm having fun with this, so don't think i'm trying to shoot you down or anything lol.
Ino: Possessed Obito long enough to steer Juubi's omega blast away from Naruto. Had she not done so... our hero, who is one of the only people able to save the world- would of died. He didn't have any Kyuubi chakura left to avoid that nuke.
Hinata: Allowed herself to be captured by Toneri in
Naruto the Last Movie in order to stop his plans. She led Naruto to the vessel's location and combined her power with Naruto's to destroy it. The vessel controlled the moon's rotation in which Toneri was going to drive the moon into the Earth. In other words, Hinata prevented the moon from crashing into Earth.
Temari: Helped the Shonobi Alliance stand a chance against Madara. I admit, she didn't really serve much purpose but the fact she survived and managed to lead on is quite impressive. She got a lot done in Naruto Part 1 but that isn't as significant as the first two girl's achievements.
TenTen: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... .... she captured the Sage of the Six Path's weapons but never really used them to save the day so ... she might be 'as' useless as what I claimed for Sakura.
Tsunade: Served as Hokage for the Leaf Village but that's a role so it doesn't count. However, she helped every other Kage fight against Madara, managing to break his Susanoo. Although this didn't really stop him, it showed her will power could overcome the ultimate defense. That and she used her healing abilities to get the Shonobi Alliance back on their feet when Madara, Obito and Jubi were wrecking crap.
Every other girl is quite as you said, useless or not on par with these girls. Sakura is a 50 / 50 take on whether she's useless or not.
I'm not impressed with her beating up the Jubi's monsters. Naruto and Sasuke had that covered. She DID help stop Kaguya from escaping, so that Naruto and Sasuke could seal the ultimate villain. That might be her greatest achievement but it's also kinda meh ... simply because Naruto and Sasuke would of eventually had her if they sped up.
HOWEVER. Sakura was super useful in
Naruto the Last Movie, being a great adviser and insightful friend when Naruto needed support. She alone is what helped Naruto stay motivated to rescue Hinata, and also led him to infiltrate the base on the moon. Seeing her act so mature and informative with rightful knowledge surprised me with satisfactory. Without her, the movie would of felt out of place or even ... fell apart. She also gave birth to Sadara whom is an awesome female Uchiha so there's that.
While I admit she played more useful later on, it wasn't until the series nearly ended. Everything else, she needed to be rescued, or hardly did anything to provide the team with efficient help. Although she did, with Chiyo's help- defeat Sasori. I wished she had more moments like that but otherwise she didn't do much until far, FAR later when the manga series was at it's end.
