I agree. I think sakura empathises the most and is the most compassionate on the team (she brings the femininity) so she would probably feel sorry for obito similar to naruto. Of course she wouldn't be as passionate about him like naruto is but she would still show him compassion. She only acts mean when she and naruto are goofing around or when her temper flares up but generally she is more emotional.

Exactly. Obito must have known this because he told her to see him as an enemy. He knew she was beginning to accept him and he feared if she did she would have trouble with his request.

Her character just...flat out sputtered and died from Oro vs. Naruto onward. Like, I can't even be bothered to be a fan of her anymore. Will elaborate if anybody questions.

I am curious to what you have against her. Sakura may not have done much fighting but she helped defeat Sasori, found valuable info on the zetsu, figured out Obito's abilities, healed the alliance, took out a bunch of spawn with her new powers and did her all to keep Naruto's heart pumping. It's not much but it helps.

She was also the reason they even got the mission to go to the bridge for Orochimaru. Sasori gave her the info about it.

Yes, that's right! I forgot that one. She's valuable just not a high-ranked fighter.

Nice thread. She clearly isn't developed as well as naruto and sasuke but she has her merits. Although I do hope she does something to stop madara getting that 2nd rinnegan and show offensive prowess coz she hasn't been doing much if that.

Not gonna lie, after watching the series for this long she has grown on me so I could never truly dislike her (same with Naruto).

She lacks consistency. From the very beginning her character represents human weaknesses; the ability to break past said weakness to become something beyond expectations. Kishimoto went about her character in such rapid leaps, however, that she seems overall rushed.

From the very start she was outshined by her teammates, a plot point that peaked during the Invasion of Konoha arc. From there, that should have been her turning point, and it was to an extent. Her training with Tsunade was supposed to turn her into someone of use, something noteworthy. She established her role wasn't on the front lines and desired to become a medic.

From her introduction to Part 2 she was displayed with a larger amount of character development; she seemed stronger, more mature, virtues that peaked during the fight with Sasori.

As Shippuden strung on, however, her 'character development' was to some extent devolved. Her character fluctuated. She went from strong to indecisive to wanting to be strong to crying for Naruto to putting on a facade to helpless again to being saved again to once again believing she was one the same level as her teammates.

Her character fluctuates too damn much, and it doesn't help her development in the slightest.

I see your point. She had potential and then Kishimoto kind of went and focused on Naruto and Sasuke and forgot her. That is my only annoyance too but I still respect her character's growth despite how little. If she was still acting like 12 year old Sakura I would have been disappointed, but she could have been more too.

Kishimoto said he's not good with females and her constant changing is stereotypical (but sadly true) so I'm guessing he was trying to express her growth in the natural way women develop. I know I was a mess from 12 until 17 and in between I was very unstable. Now at 30 I am centered and honestly quite jaded.

I feel he kind of did the same to Hinata. Her moments always ended up taking a backseat to her sudden helplessness instead of her simply growing and staying strong.

Old fashioned men also view women as helpless, though they can also be strong.
