I personally agree. There is no female alive in the Naruto verse who can compare to her accomplishments. Whether it be rhetoric or allegorical, Sakura without a doubt is the only kunoichi holding such praise worthy of the title of most influential. She has done so much for the series. People seem to confuse her character with the other females who are less fleshed out, but that is not entirely the case. She contributes to the sole fact of being the enjoyment of human torture. No one in this manga has enough screen time to make us want to turn the page or hope for her death willingly through the each time she makes a comittment to better herself. She had grown in depth between the outrageous fan-girl we used to know during the early stages of Naruto.
As was shown in the Sasori Arc where she helped bring down an Akatsuki member only after two years of training, when her only existence in battle diluted from a single panel of Sakura cutting her pink locks of hair. She was at such a high point, and she only continued to further our enjoyment as the series continued. When Sasuke entered the arc, she was seemingly ready to finish off the Uchiha once and for all. Taking the mantle and showing us that her charater progression and development skyrocketed to a new all time high. It was until then she met Sasuke that everything began to stalemate with the bad memories. Where she showed us that she was the same fan-girl for Sasuke that she was in Part one, that she never changed. Even so as the series continued her character continued to be the bridge between sanity, and revulsion. No character has surpassed Sakura to that limit where everytime you see her character the sole fact of her breathing air makes you want to scream. Even now Sakura continues to try to catch up to Naruto and Sasuke, her one and only goal in the series besides mating with Sasuke. I have high hopes for her that one day she will be able to reach their levels with sheer will and talent. Soon enough that hardwork will pay off and Sakura's character will shine again. Only to become three more steps behind the main characters in each category.
Without a doubt Sakura is the best female character in this manga.
