Truthfully, I don't mind Sakura becoming a medical shinobi. It's just the type she became. I refer medical shinobi to be more like Shizune. Subtle techniques, use poison, and the like. Sakura and Tsunade's strength seemed to make them one trick pony's to me. Other then summoning Katsuya they lacked any form of offense other then punching things. When you have Might Gai and Lee in the series whom I find more enjoyable to watch in combat it makes their super strength boring to me. It also makes them predictable without the speed the gate users had to get in close to use that power.

I'd have liked Sakura to have been more like Shizune, but with some genjutsu like Kurenai or some ninjutsu knowledge like Kakakashi. Some variety in her combat abilities and something other then fangirling over Sasuke would have made her more interesting. Like how she didn't come from a clan like most the konoha twelve did or have some secret technique.

I'd have also liked to see Hinata develop more. Since she's not a genius at close quarters fighting I'd have loved to see her try to do something else with the Byakugan. How Kisimoto never put in a Hyuuga sniper is beyond me. Heck sniping fits with her shy personality too. Or she could be really good at hiding since she can track her opponents and since her teacher was Kurenai and Hinata has great chakra control her taking down people from afar with genjutsu before running up to poke them in the chest would have been awesome too.
