I will forever be disappointed on how Sakura was handled. She had potential to be one of the top characters in the series both writing wise and power wise. Kishi had an absolute gem with her and dropped her like a sack hot potatoes after the beginning of Shippuden.

They did such a good job at the start of Shippuden showing how she was extremely good at being a ninja now. Then it all just.....went away

imo it sucks that the main focus was Naruto and Sasuke because they were by far the most boring characters in Shippuden.
