Part 1 Sakura, along with Kiba, are my least favourite characters in the manga. At least in part 2, Sakura had a reasonable amount of skill/power development and started to care about Naruto more.

No. There's no rule in fiction that limits a story to one main character. Naruto is the protagonist of the series, Sasuke is the deuteragonist etc

@Bold, so why are you telling this to me bro?


Sakura/Sasuke/Kakashi are not the main characters.. lol. Naruto uzumaki is. This whole series revolves around him, not team 7. Team 7 is relevant because of Naruto Uzumaki.

The Sasuke part is edited in.

And yet he was able to keep you hooked for years- daily talking about his work. That sounds like either he is too much a genius to keep so many people hooked across the globe and made them defend those characters and fight for them without being able to develop them at all or the people ever engaged in the discussion or reading the series are complete morons the world saw ever.

How many other series are able to make people talk about the character this much when there are no developments at all?

Naruto is a "guilty pleasure" to many people. After Kishi's first editor left around Itachi vs Sasuke the story slowly went to hell.

I'll let you hate my blossom,
But I won't let you berate my awesome Sakura!

She is all good up,
You just got stood up.

She might not be perfect,
But I don't expect her to be.

You can complain if you want,
go ahead continue to stupidly flaunt.

I see a great day,
And it may be further away.

That is when you will see,
That what you disagree, only flees.

Sakura is strong.
Sakura is developed.
Sakura is useful.
Sakura is beautiful.
Sakura is smart.

And that is my booty be golden for her.

For she is my blossom.

Changing statements now? How that makes challenging your previous statement wrong? Anyway-

I think Naruto was developed enough. ^^Rest of the characters were developed according to the need in the story of Naruto. for their further development you would need spin offs.

Knock yourself out with complaints of not developing side characters more in the story of Naruto. Like you always see them developed in plot driven stories shonnen mangas coming out of Japan. ..

Neji's death was underwhelming to many people due to his lack of development in Part 2.

No hate. Just elaborating on why I think she is one of the most poorly written characters in the series.

Oh, well that's different I suppose. At the very least you aren't cussing her out like she's a real person :eww:

Sakura in part 1 was really useless and annoying, but she changed a lot. She doesn't have any kekei genkai neither power up, but she became pretty much one of the strongest kunoichi of her generation and now she is a jounin and the best medical ninja of Konoha.

-In part 1 she made Sasuke and Naruto look like two n00bs in chakra control.

That's why I can't stand when people call her useless. She may not be the best heroine, but she is not useless neither the "worst and undeveloped" character.

Okay I'm done reading. Due to receiving my infractions, I have to be cautious of what I'm doing, so the only things I can say is that Kishi obviously trolled Sakura hard. I believe that Hinata was always planned to be the main heroin from the start because Hinata was one of the first female character to be drawn and if you compare this series to Mario which his older series, there's obviously strong parallelism between the two.

It's funny how we got in this trailer,SP made Sakura complaining to Hinata being in the main heroin out of thin blue.

I personally think anyone with a decent mind would know how badly her character developed in this series.
