THIS IS NOT A BASH THREAD. I'm just giving my opinions and evaluating her as a character. Sorry if there is already a section for this type of stuff, I don't know the site that well.
To begin I think Sakura is pretty admirable. Like somebody said, she's the only one in team 7 (bar Sai lol) who got all her power from training. She's always looking to better herself which is cool.
The bad thing is that I don't feel that she's had much significant character development throughout the series. To me it always felt that despite being a main character, she was mostly there to give Sasuke more mention. Most of the significant things she did was for the sake of Sasuke besides fighting Sasori and such.
Another thing that I didn't feel to strongly about is her "love" life. It's not the fact that she doesn't choose the guy who really likes her, would do anything for her and always listens to her, but the fact that she has no reason to like Sasuke at all. It's understanding if Sasuke showed subtle signs of caring for her, but it's the exact opposite. I could say that until a few chapters ago, he most likely despised her. As far as our conclusion goes, the only reason we can tell that she loves him is solely because of his looks which is extremely one-dimensional for a character with so much more potential for a love interest.
I think it's cool that Sakura did everything in her power to save Sasuke from the other dimension. I also don't hold it against her that she isn't "helping" in the fight against Kaguya like most people think. She already did enough on her part by retrieving Sasuke. She just isn't meant to fight a god, that doesn't mean she's "fodder" either. She's one of the strongest female characters in the series; she surpassed Tsunade who is the Hokage, so Sakura is also far from weak.
This is just my opinion, what do you think?
