Is it because she has Disassociative Identity Disorder/split personalities?

Shame that Kishi seemingly forgot about Inner Sakura. This tidbit might have helped define the character more in Part 2.

Kishi outright said he forgot about Sakura in an interview.

Inner Sakura is horseshit anyway, just a shitty ga excuse for Sakura to even match Ino during the exams.

Inner Sakura pretty much became one with Sakura in part two.

No, it was just used to make her seem relevant in the movie.

Inner Sakura saved her ass during that Chunin Exam with Ino or else she would have been forced to give up. She probably had some kind of disorder and the main reason why it was not included in Part 2 was because Part 2 was solely focused on her punching abilities which was quite the disappointment. Maybe Kishi thought that her comedic relief wasn't working so he took that idea out and put it in the trash. I think Sakura is naturally good at resisting genjutsu because in Part 1 she easily resisted Kabuto's sleeping genjutsu with ease compared to the others who fell asleep but Inner Sakura probably gave her that boost to what she has become today.

She has that and many other mental disorders. Genjutsu works on the brain. It can't work on that messed up brain (if you call it that). Thus genjutsu resistant

Shino and Shikmaru also resisted the genjutsu. They were just all smart enough to be aware of what was happening.

She was described to be addicted


Mental disorders are very serious

That had potential but Kishi never developed it. Also, I'm pretty sure I've heard that before... somewhere.

Maybe sakura is a fodder because of mental disorders, or being Haruno gives you some kind of Genjutsu resistance?
As for the mental disorders maybe genjutsu doesn't work on them but I doubt.

Kishimoto said that every character has their inner self, just like Inner Sakura.

A split personality in reality, allows a person to perceive, react and respond differently to their surroundings. If Sakura does have DID, it could explain how she overcame Ino's mind transfer and Sakura's alleged genjutsu resistance.

However, DID is hypothesized to form from childhood trauma. A trauma powerful enough for a child to want to disassociate from reality. Things like bi-polar disorder, paranoia and schizophrenia can also be diagnoised with DID.

I remember Kishimoto explaining in an interview that inner Sakura was her real feelings and it disappeared as she started to express her real feelings in part 2...It's a Dark Naruto situation.

Dark Naruto was Naruto's inner feelings of resentment and hatred stemming from how he was treated in life. Dark Naruto is not who Naruto is. If it was, then he'd be an avenger against the Leaf, like Sasuke. As Naruto says when he clashes with Sasuke at the 5 Kage summit.

Sakura seemingly has a split personality, because she might have a disorder.
