I am kind of pissed at how poorly they portrayed Sarada. She hardly got any focus the first three episodes so this is pretty much her introduction in the anime as a character and for a future main character it was lacking to say the least. Her characterization initially comes down to nagging Bort and then arguing with him over a stupid sandwich which just seems dumb on both their parts. I guess they used to hang out before maybe but don't like each other or whatever but that is not explained at all. My problem is how poorly she was shown in the test. She is the daughter of the legendary Uchiha Sasuke. She should have a great showing but it was lackluster at best. She easily got caught in Shikadai's shadow justsu and simply runs with the other girls without any strategy. She also easily falls into Inojin's trap with the girls as well. The only thing she did is show she is good with shuriken's which is something but not much when it only even accomplished anything because Lee froze up. The episode was hyping Bort vs Sarada like their parents and yet in the end they don't fight at all outside of arguing at the beginning. The Boys were coming up with all these nice strategies while the girls just charged ahead with no strategy. It was plot no jutsu that the guys didn't simply easily get the flag before the girls even got there with the way the episode went. I wanted Sarada to show she was smart and truly skilled with a decent move set like Bort has shown the last few episodes. In the end she threw some shuriken's while Bort showed he can summon and she watched Bort heroically rescue her friend while she just stood there. Since the next few episodes seem like she will be irrelevant she simply seems like one of the filler girls with a little skill as opposed to a true future main character so far.
