True that. Sakura more than anyone needed some time to develop. I mean, her only goal was to hook up with Sasuke. That's not a really good goal since Sasuke dedicates the entirety of his life to his own goal.

She could have really developed after the Wave Mission and realized that things work differently in the real world. It should have given a new drive not only to her but to the whole of Team 7.

But instead, she went back to square one.
