Thanks for the reply. I think I´d go with Sasuke. heavily traumatized boy in the 1st part, an Alpha dog, really good leading qualities, repressed on his feelings, sharing only with those within his own inner circle. He did show a deep moral formation given by his late parents.
I think one of the deepest plot-holes is how come Sasuke switched this loyalty, Ethics, for a power-up under the guidance of Orochimaru. I mean, we know it happened as he told everyone he was going over to the serpent´s nest but not an actual set of events that broke the bond -momentarily- between HIM-Sasuke and HIS VILLAGE-Konoha.
Now, I´d like to touch as a manga, the panels did serve -me- an actual dish of the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke. Maybe a couple of really good, tight, competing rivals with a quench for surpassing each of other but I didn´t get too many panels on the kind of relation Sasuke had with the village. We see Naruto saying hi to lots of people, a social availability=will, to either help any Konohan but I just remember Sasuke dealing with his own family members.
I mean, there were actual panels showing us Madara telling Hashirama he was the one to rule over Konoha but when dis we get this before the war arc regarding Sasuke??? This is just like totally off the picture in the 1st part, mid 2nd, AND inserted in the end to evoke Hashirama-Madara relationship.
Sakura= good willing, team worker, a high moral spirit. 1st PART We mostly remember her as the girl with the kunai, but in written dialogue and, panels, she is a pretty solid character with lot of growth to be granted.
2nd Part= Did anything really happened with her???? I see sort of the same feelings with a more positive secure Sakura with her medical skills, even maybe a bit more resolve. As a reader I believe Kishimoto did deliver a panel good enough to show off her evolution when Sasuke met team 7 and he tried to kill Sakura just as she was planning to do. This is her most important moment however it might not have sufficed to anchor her maturity-set/skills within the readers.
I´ll be back later for more on Jiraiya, Kakashi and Sasuke tomorrow
