Top 10 Most Disappointing Naruto Characters

I dislike Sakura Haruno, and in my opinion, she's one of the most disappointing Naruto characters.

I feel like Sakura wasn't an amazing character in the anime, but she was in the manga. Now, don't get me wrong, Sakura improved over time, but at the start of the series, she was a bit annoying, to be honest. I have many reasons why, so let me tell you some of them.

She chased Sasuke like the biggest fangirl there was and pushed Naruto away harshly. Sakura was extremely rude to Naruto in many ways. Even though she had some good moments, that wasn't enough to make up for her rudeness.

Plus, she's a stereotypical anime girl - someone who shouldn't be feared by the main character because the main character is stronger, but somehow is. Naruto only fears her because of how undeniably rude she was to him.

She was fine in the manga, but in the anime, she had a heated temper that made her treat her friends poorly. If I could change some things in Naruto, one of them would be to improve her character in the anime. In the anime, her character development was ignored. She contributed very little to the show and acted like she was better than everyone else. If she was in trouble, she'd faint or scream "Sasuke!" or "Naruto!" - yet she still acted like she was stronger than everyone else.

Things got better in Shippuden, and that's when she grew to be more likable. She could've been better in the anime, and the fact that she wasn't is disappointing.

Kakashi didn't want Obito to go after Rin. He didn't want to let him die - in fact, he was ready to purposely abandon Rin instead of risking Obito's life to rescue her. He was just being a reasonable team captain. Rin wasn't that important to him, and it speaks volumes that he never considered her worth keeping, like Obito did. I guess he never looked at her as more than a comrade, let alone someone to form a deeper connection with. Some fans ship them, but that's beside the point. The fact is, Kakashi was never cut out for a relationship.

I was really disappointed with the outcome. Obito died because Rin was selfish. As if it wasn't enough that their other teammate was willing to lose his life for her, she disrespected him with that confession out of nowhere. She's ungrateful for the fact that Obito saved her when Kakashi was ready to leave her behind. Rin was a source of bad luck for both of them.

Because of Rin, Obito died in vain. It was fitting that her feelings were ignored, given her lack of compassion. What a terrible moment for such a petty confession. Was that all she could do aside from jeopardizing the mission and being a damsel in distress?

I can't really blame Obito for saving her, though. She was too precious to him, even though she let him go by focusing on tasks more important than the mission. As a medic-nin, she should have known how to handle the situation better. And let's be real - transplanting an eye is no small feat, but it was her responsibility as a medical ninja to know these things, in addition to being protected by her team.

The real person to blame is their sensei. Why in the world did Minato let them be on their own? They were still young and inexperienced in combat, no matter how competent they were. Overall, Team Minato was the most disappointing team ever.

She'll forever lament in the afterlife, knowing the sad truth that she can't have him. Rin was the evidence that not all fangirls deserve a "happily ever after." She wasted multiple chances to confess her feelings, only for those moments to be interrupted. She also lost the only person who truly loved her, and because of her selfishness, fate punished her by denying her what she wanted most.

I hated Obito for still loving this girl, despite her being, in my opinion, undeserving. It's ironic that she finds herself trapped in an afterlife where she's "friend-zoned." She deserved the indifferent treatment Kakashi gave her. At least Kakashi wasn't cruel enough to say the harsh words she probably needed to hear about being insensitive to Obito's feelings.

If Kakashi could speak his mind, he might have told her, "Rin, you were not my priority. I intended to protect Obito, not you. I didn't save you because I had feelings for you. Don't misinterpret my actions. Your feelings don't matter because you're too focused on me, not the person who sacrificed everything for you. Obito's promise and the mission meant more to me than your feelings. Remember, we lost a comrade for life because of you. Duty comes before anything else."

Too bad Kakashi only loves Kahyo. Poor Rin - she died for nothing.

He was supposed to be Kage-level, but he lost to Sasuke despite having 11 Izanagi.
