I no longer believe Sakura to be a main character after looking back on the series.

Sakura was never meant to be originally in the manga. His editors thought Hinata was to boring and wanted someone more edgy.

Even Kishi’s own wife wanted Naruto to end up with Sakura and was mad when it didn’t happen. Couple those tidbits with the fact that he openly admitted he didn’t know how to write female characters and you have what we got.

So no. Kishi never intended Sakura to be the main heroine, but we got her anyways thanks to Shonen cliche tropes.

@bold: are you sure about that I've never seen a reference for it.

Sakura is literally at the center of mostly every major thing revoling Naruto and Sasuke
