She changed her personality. She used to despise Naruto and mock him for being alone, but in part 2 their relationship improved and they became great friends that support each other. She also stopped being the fangirl she was in the beginning of part 1 who just thought about going out on dates and used to forget about training. She matured a lot too and isn't that unbearably annoying girl she was in part 1 anymore.

I agree on her hating less on Naruto.
Everything else, is incorrect. She hasn't matured one bit. She even wanted to kill Sasuke to put him out of his misery when she didn't know a single thing about him, so what was she doing it for? Herself.

Bring more manga scans of her development outside of Naruto.

 

[AlphaScythian]

You are forgetting the biggest thing about Naruto Part one.

People have been hating her since the first five two of Naruto came out in America via Toonami.
Nice try though.

Why should i take your world for that back in the day?
Especially since i proved you wrong and dismantled some of your bias?

That's very one-sided.. When Sakura made the decision to kill Sasuke it wasn't based on how it would effect her but on how it would lighten the burden on Naruto (Narutos promise) and amendment for his crimes.

She's a Shinobi. She's apparently "Useless" For alot of people on this site, but, She's a unique skilled medical ninja from the hidden leaf. Top best obviously.
there aren't many ninja's that can do what she did on the war when she was healing Naruto from death.

"Medical ninjas aren't allowed to Engage battle" <- Rule number 2 made up by tsunade to her students at least. Sakura is one of them.
on that picture you showed she didn't really thought about that rule tho.

overall, as a ninja, She has her skills. If we go by tactics, i am not really sure about that but reading back at the sasori fight she showed a nice mind.
So yeah, I'll give her the shinobi headband, that's my take so whatever the rest.

She matured a lot too and isn't that unbearably annoying girl she was in part 1 anymore.

The issue with her character is that she is very one dimensional. Not very diverse in her choices. I feel many women characters have done much more better than her in other anime. The changes you speak of are very small. They are not that deep. Like changing how she treats one person won't make her a completely new person. In that case you should also say that the people in the village developed. Since they to started appreciating Naruto. On top of that she is very boyish. She is not like your normal average girl. That you can easily relate to.

Now about that fangirling part. She was still fangirling for Sasuke in the war arc. Hence that stupid diversion tactic happen. I understand that she started to love Sasuke more. But no where did we know she developed any feelings for him. Like I have not seen that smooth progressional development from her. It all happen all of a sudden. Even her power up in the war arc was a asspull.

You guys also hype up her feats, yet wonder why people don't acknowledge them? Well if you look at those feats. Major bulk of them happen in the war arc. Which by that time we should call it a bit too late. Had she progressed as a character and developed those powers she got in the War arc. People would appreciate her more. If you take away those feats than judge her character. I guarantee you she would feel naked in the feats department.


Hinata haters edition:

Now this comment is for you people who are bashing Hinata in part 2.

I am directing my next comment at this scan.

I see that as the same as what he(Kishi) did with Hinata against Pein. Realistically if you look at Hinata's character in part 2, she only got one fighting chance. And that was against a opponent she could never beat. That would be the same case for Sakura if you took out her feats in part 2 and pitted her against Madara. Thats basically the treatment Hinata got this series. So in a way Hinata had it far more worse than Sakura.

She is far from unique. She is a just a less skilled Tsunade.

 

[Melanin]

She is far from unique. She is a just a less skilled Tsunade.

Her uniqueness lays within her being 17 and being on par with Tsunade with only her brain and chakra control..

Her relationship with Naruto before and after:

Her love for Sasuke also changed. Even Kakashi stated this:

According to Sai she wanted to free Naruto from the promise and save Sasuke frrom darkness, even if she had to kill him. It's somewhat a development considering that she was willing to leave Konoha to follow him through his dark path in part 1, but in part 2 she was mature enough to call out his bullshit(in chapter 699 he was redeemed, there was a time skip and they already settled their issues, so it doesn't affect in nothing her development). You're forgetting that she didn't know about the Uchiha massacre when she tried to kill him too.

And if you compare her behaviour from part 1 to part 2, you will see that she isn't annoying as she was in part 1. Sadly Kishimoto didn't emphasize too much the change in her.

 

[MAN OF SIN]

She isn't on par with her considering Tsunade was showing similar chakra control feats at a much younger age without the Yin Seal.

 

[Melanin]

Theres no evidence of her using ces as a child and what feats are you referencing? Also, Tsunades chakra control as a child couldn't have been on par with present Sakuras because she devolpe her seal as a child nor at 17..

 

[MAN OF SIN]

Tsunades strength is natural if you didn't know.. Theres no evidence of her using ces as a child..

Actually, that "super strength" is really just her releasing chakra from her fist. I don't remember ever being stated it was natural strength.

I'm not saying she got a great change in personality. But she indeed mentally changed for a better person. Yeah, Kishimoto could have displayed more of her change, but he didn't. Actually, Naruto is a character that hadn't a great personality change either, despite the fact that he matured a bit (I'm not comparing his development in general with her, I'm talking about personality development).

And her fangirlism becoming love is shown in part 1. It began in forest of death and gradually started becoming stronger. It wasn't a sudden change. And the only thing she did in the war that people was considering fangirlism was because she said "Sasuke-kun" when he arrived next to her and also because she was thinking that he didn't care for her when he was pretending to be a jerk.

Wiki defines her strength as being natural and chakra ces makes it more deadly

Where does the manga say this?

 

[Naruto X Hunter]

Well what do you know,it's the Derp Indra.Dude i was talking to you about this earlier today on your channel.You choose to ignore me right when i was about to list ways in which Sakura had been useful outside of Medical Ninjutsu.

I know you and alot of other people are stupid but to get the manga wrong this much is ridiculous,how many months/years have you been reading Naruto yet you don't even understand it?

Sakura's only useful in Medical Ninjutsu ? Which is a top tier Shinobi Arts?

How could you possibly forget how her top tier strength has helped?

Sakura's strength has come in handy multiple times,like here.

Sakura was the one who figured out that White Zetsu perfectly transformed into people by absorbing their chakra,then she told HQ,who then formed a counter strategy.Thus saving many lives.

As you can see,Sakura has greatly contributed more than with Medical Ninjutsu,so now that you have been enlightened,you honestly can't say she's only been useful with that.

And the way a character treats another one is considered to be a display of development because it reflects the change in the character's behaviour.
