Sakura's Horseplay

er with chakra strings in order to fight Sasori, in the Pein arc, she did nothing but cry and shout for Naruto to come and save them. Plus we hate her a lot for that stunt she pulled on Naruto in telling him she loved him only to do it in order for him to not go after Sasuke so she could kill him herself and even then, she couldn't do it. Also, her character is kind of flat. She has no substance, she has no backstory. Who is Sakura? No one knows because she hasn't had any struggles or hardships to endure. In fact, and this is true, Kishimoto himself said that Sakura is very hard to write a scene for where she is actually shown to be worthy of her heroine role because how "normal" she is and that Hinata would be better fit for it. A lot of the Naruto characters have a backstory and what they went through, except for Tenten (but that's not the point), but Sakura is just somebody who is just there for the sake of probably filling a gap. So to clarify, it's not that we hate Sakura herself. We hate the character that she has become which is, in layman's terms, useless and weak. I mean, she has medical prowess beyond her years and super strength and yet....she rarely fights for herself.
