Yet, Kishimoto never really worked on her that much. But she had quite some potential! This is such a loss, in my opinion. If memory serves, it was the extreme shipping war surrounding Hinata. Kishimoto basically didn't dare to write anything (other than the occasional trolling) as it would generate huge backlash. The western world may prefer Hinata, but in Japan Sakura is seen as the prime candidate. Kishimoto chose the best option and that was to ignore it as much as possible.

It's the Anime that flashbacks so much and ruins it. As to same pasts same goals: We learned from the very beginning that the world's a dark place where ninja die and die often. It's a miracle we don't have more orphans. As to same goals: It's a world that sees that it's rotten to the core, but it's also unable to bring itself to change. Many people dream of bettering it and many people dream of being a Kage (Ask kids what they want to be and they're all police and firemen, later "famous") Mialla1223 wrote: Kishimoto is a good mangaka, but for some reasons, he messed up. And it is okay, he could fix it, by finding the right ways for doing so. Considering that he was still figuring out how to write a story when he started, it's amazing he got this far. He did write himself into corners that he may not have seen coming (including the shipping wars).
