Why Sakura Haruno is a misunderstood character from Naruto.

 People hate Sakura unjustly, because of something she said in chapter 3 season 1 in the manga and how she used to act, but people completely oversee how good of a character she truly is. 

The first thing that people hate about her is her attitude towards other people was and the argue that she only cared about Sasuke and his love. While this might have been partly true she also cared about all her other friends even willing to fail in the chunin exams for naruto the person people claim she doesn't care about. It is clear to me that she matured a lot in the series, from a whiny weak character to strong powerful women. Sakura wasn't given any powerups or had a powerful clan she worked hard for the power she knows has which took a long time to earn, after all that training and gaining the byakugo seal she became the most powerful women in the village and one of the most powerful in the naruto universe. Her love for Sasuke Uchiha is also one of the main reasons she is hated they say she is obsessed with him and only cares about his looks, while that may have been true when she was 12 years old an immature kid, as ahe grew and matured she learned to love him for all his dark past and everything. Even thought she may love Sasuke that doesn't mean he is the most important person for her because she does have other drives like being able to defend her friends and much more. We also don't know much about her family life it could have been terrible because when her parents were onscreen they neglected her and acted like she was very weak which heavily damages a child's self-esteem.

I can go on but I do not have enough time to do it, but she is one of the most misunderstood characters in naruto.
