very true. i'm sure there's people smarter than me that can more succinctly put a cap on the whole thing from a feminist point of view, i just kinda wish sakura could have had a chance to kick madara's teeth in or smth

maybe i'm not feeling very charitable, but it felt like a consolation prize born out of the obligation to include sakura in that shot of team 7 working together one last time. she was then immediately hit by a genjutsu and completely removed from the post climax conflict until heals were needed.

this is still the single best panel in the whole manga after the pain arc ended btw.
