I know this is old news, but by glancing at the dreams of all of the females, Kishimoto portrayed them in a sexist way.

Hinata:

Hinata is obsessing over Naruto and playing the submissive role in their relationship.

Ino:

Ino stands there blushing whole two boys fight over her

Mei:

Mei's goal in life is to be married. The idea that all women want is to be married is an old fashioned and sexist concept.

Tsunade:

Tsunade fawns over Dan who is Hokage instead of her.

Tenten is the only not sexist dream, but her dream was pretty stupid anyway.
Oh please get over yourself! Since the start of manga males have had to tolerate Naruto and Lee being Sakura's *****es, Jiraiya being Tsunade's physical punch while he licks her toes, and I don't even wana go to Obito/Rin thing. If anyone should complain about their *** being portrayed as submissive and not being able to have any dream not involving the other ***, it is the males here. One of em even started a world war/end of world mission for a ***** that didn't even give a ***** that friend zoned him. Please, get over your feminine insecurities, this has nothing to do with females being oppressed, this is just Kishi sucking at writting romance period.

I am not talking about love being sexism, I was taking about poor portrayal of a character, and Kishi's double standards while giving character development to male and female characters.:p
Define poor. I saw no poor portrayal. Also, what double standards? Sakura has a lot more development than the likes of Kiba, Shino, Choji etc... To tell you the truth, so does Hinata, Sakura, even Kushina. Kaguya especially and she was just introduced one arc ago!

I don't see what you're talking about.

Lmfao, no. He's not sexist. He just cannot develop female characters (how'd you expect a man to understood a woman's feelings when women are so emotionally different/more complex?).​

Poor portrayal=characters with very less development.
Sakura is main character, so compare her with main characters, and fact is sadly her character isn't as developed as Naruto or Sasuke's is.
Hinata is 'supposedly' the love interest of main character, she needed that development.
Kushina? I mean really?:|
She just appeared in flashbacks, and played 'her role', and once upon a time in that 'Naruto dimension'.
She isn't even the proper example, to begin with.:|
Kaguya especially and she was just introduced one arc ago!

I don't see what you're talking about.
What character development Kaguya had? I mean how much do we know about Kaguya? You asked me one definition, now it's my turn, define 'character development'.

Hmm...idk if its really sexist necessarily...they are all getting to that age where the opposite relationships is more important and in the Naruto world i guess we could assume close to the age where everyone starts finding their future partners (only judging that based off of Tsunade/Dan, Kurenai/Asuma, Minato/Kushina mainly) So far with the couples we have seen, soulmates per say found each other pretty quick and young lol

Hinata's was predictable, she isn't really being submissive, but we know due to her personality she would be the submissive type. She needs someone different from Naruto i feel but thats just me, someone who doesn't need to be bossed around most of the time lol However she showed that she wants acknowledgement i think in this dream of her dream of being with Naruto. I still think its rather unknown how the Hyuga would act if her and Naruto got together..or if that would even be allowed really.

Ino's was kind of funny, she is the shallowist one and still seeking wanting attention from hot guys. Thats not that abnormal, and in her world her dad isn't dead...so that makes me better at least. You can tell shes still boy crazy

Tenten's was weird, but did remind me of rock lee hd. I think the point was though in her perfect world, Lee and Gai are normal and not hyperactive green leotard youth obsessed weirdos with a big heart lol Oh and Neji not being dead helps.

Mei's was fine, i mean shes hokage, attractive and powerful for the most part...shes probably just wondering in real life why she hasn't got a man yet and in her dream world she was able to find an attractive guy. Fact is most girls at some point in their lives want a significant other (and dudes)

The guys dreams werent too far off either...i find it interesting Shikamaru and Temari are together..again...like always lol They think alike and i seriously do think Kishi is implying at least they will hook up at some point. Shes the exact kind of women i could see Shika with.

Choji's was fine too, i mean he just wants attention and being on a team with Ino probably hasn't been the best for the poor dudes confidence. I hope Kishi shows him with a girl in the end!

Rock Lee's was funny and pretty predictable too. He has beat his rivals in love, youth, and power and won the affection of the girl he likes.

Almost all the dreams but Kiba and Shino were related to relationships or getting attention from someone in a romantic sense. I don't personally find it too sexist, but i do get annoyed that thats all we see Ino and Hinata wanting for instance...their only goals ever seem to be dude related..and same could be said for little Sakura but i find big Sakura much more mature. She doesn't harbor her silly crush on Sasuke anymore, thank god she got over him finally.

1. Naruto and Sasuke are more main than Sakura is. Their lives were the ones that were more directly affected by Kaguya, Indra, Ashura, Madara and Obito's goals. Sakura just got put on their team, so it makes sense that she gets less development than them. Put Sakura on any other team and she is just as irrelevant as Kiba or Shino. Therefore, it is perfectly valid to compare her to them.

2. Defining character development: It is when a character either does something that is significant to the plot (ie. participating in a major battle) or has some of their innermost thoughts and inspirations revealed. We have seen plenty of times that Sakura's inspiration was the fact that she felt like a burden to Naruto and Sasuke, and Sakura helped (or at least tried to help) in numerous battles/ occasions. Her friendship with Naruto has also been a source of inspiration for Naruto throughout the series, thus further developing Sakura.

3. A lot of characters don't even really need much development because they weren't directly affected (until now) by the main villains' ambitions and they did not have major roles in stopping those ambitions. Why waste time on them?

Kaguya has major development because her ambitions essentially triggered the events of the entire series, we know that her ideology was even more sinister than Madara's, and from today's chapter we know that she may very well be the main villain.
