Dont mind me, im just posting....
Know why sakura oout of all females has the most character development in the series?
Because she is the heroine right from the start. She's in the same team with naruto the main protagonist, making her role vital in the series. Adding to that would be the parallelism of team 7 to the world renowned sannin. and mainly, Sakura's role is to stand between twoo opposing forces - Naruto and Sasuke
for comparison's sake, Hinata who happens to be a side character really has also attained much development. Kishi molding the hyuuga into their status - Noble, Greatest, Oldest, Powerful - contrary to hinata's character. Yet , hinata's role revolved a big part around Naruto. Naruto even stated that he'll change the way of the hyuugas when he become hokage, thus somehow securing a certain relationship (i mean more of it, not necessarily a couple relationship kind of thing) with hinata.
*** I am a huge fan of naruto, not only because of the cool characters, the pairings, and the powerful jutsus and clans existing. What I like about it is the plot, the arrangement of conflicts and characters, which KISHIMOTO has done a great job to come up with. I understand why there are character comparisons and bashing. It is just how fans react and express themselves. But if we are truly a fan, why dont we just appreciate and accept the plot's flow and the good writing of our Kishi.
