Its clearly explained that she broke their friendship due to being in Inos shadow more than anything so she could come into her own & she shows no tomboy traits


* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to both Hinata and Ino's Girly Girls, albet [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak with her own girly streak]].



* UngratefulBitch: When she was a kid, she used to get bullied by the other kids for her huge forehead. Ino stood up to the bullies on her behalf and they were best friends after that...until Sakura developed a crush on Sasuke, then discovered Ino also liked him and told Ino that they couldn't be friends anymore because they were rivals for Sasuke's affection.

In Part II, Sakura has picked up SuperStrength and [[TheMedic medical skills]] courtesy of Tsunade's TrainingFromHell, which turns her from TheLoad to a fine kunoichi of her [[ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl calibre]]. Her growth is shown in the first major fight of the new series, joining forces with Chiyo to help defeat Akatsuki member Sasori in a drawn-out battle, and her healing skills are put to use for much of the series.

TV tropes should be unbiased, this is not Sakura abusing Sarada.


* UselessBystanderParent: In ''Manga/NarutoGaiden'', abuse in the form of neglect is presented with [[spoiler: Sakura. While she is married to Sasuke and raised Sarada with him early on (Sarada having a vague memory of him and Sakura holding her hands when she was very young), she stayed mostly silent for over 10 years about Sasuke's disappearance within the family. She told Sarada little about him aside from the fact that he's a part of their family and that he's on an important mission that he must do, and even actually ''lied'' by presenting Sasuke's old photo with Taka members, except by overlaying their figures with hers. While this problem is rectified in the end, it doesn't stop the fact that she basically did emotionally abuse her daughter by not giving her evidence. Abuse that started early and went on for over a decade doesn't magically heal by simply finding the answer in RealLife, as the series shows.]] Lack of communication from Sarada didn't help matters, as Sakura expresses she thought she ''had'' made things clear enough to her, and thus is surprised when Sarada runs off to find Sasuke.

TheChick of Team 7. For most of the series Naruto [[DoggedNiceGuy has a comical unrequited crush on her]], [[TriangRelations but she acts dismissive towards him while she's in love with Sasuke]]; However, over the course of the series she grows to appreciate and care for Naruto [[FireForgedFriends as a friend]] [[TrueCompanions and teammate]] in great part due to their shared bond with Sasuke. She would eventually become Sasuke Uchiha's wife and the mother of Sarada Uchiha in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}''. Sakura herself is an intelligent, gifted ''kunoichi'' from Konoha. Unlike most other ninja in the series, she has no unique skills of her own, using only standard ninja techniques and her brains. As a result, during Part I, she mostly sits on the sidelines. After failing to prevent her only love, Sasuke's defection, and seeing a badly injured Naruto in the hospital, she concludes that she can't leave things like this, and apprentices herself to Princess Tsunade with the intent of no longer being a burden and help bringing Sasuke back.

** In the movies and a few filler arcs, Sakura is shown to be more competent in battle, fighting and defeating one of the members of the {{QuirkyMiniBossSquad}} on her own.



*** The development to not stay on the sidelines brings this quality more forward as she would later drug her entire team because she wanted to face Sasuke alone, and she knew they would try to stop her from going on what's essentially a suicide mission, instead of working together as a team. To put in perspective with the above, yes she does try to provide a distraction, but she plans this out only a few feet away from Naruto and Sasuke and makes '''no''' attempt at all to let them in on the plan or to ask what they think. They're just as surprised as Madara was by the distraction, and when she's ''immediately'' defeated, [[DamselInDistress they both have to jump in to save her]]. So she was as every bit as distracting to ''her own team'' as she was to her target. Her failed attempt to distract Madara proves to be more of a LeeroyJenkins moment than a HeroicSacrifice, and it reaffirms her continual statuses as a FauxActionGirl and TheLoad.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. While she was one of the top students of the Academy (second only to Ino, who became the Kunoichi of the Year), she considered herself a lot stronger than the 'Dead-Last' Naruto since she equated 'knowing more about textbook things translates to real life'. During her first ''real'' mission in the Land of Waves, she realized Naruto was not only stronger than her but had pulled far ahead and during the Chunin Exams, she sacrificed the long hair she had grown meticulously so Sasuke would notice her in an attempt to save her teammates who were unconscious from the battle with Orochimaru. Sakura eventually becomes Tsunade's apprentice, TookALevelInBadass in the first arc of Part II...and then has no truly memorable fights afterwards, and is TheMedic on the sidelines at best.

** During the second bell test in the Kazekage Rescue arc, Sakura shatters the ground with her [[SuperStrength Cherry Blossom Impact]], something that [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon makes both Naruto and Kakashi look like they're about to wet their pants]]. While this is PlayedForLaughs, Kakashi clearly had no idea she knew this technique. Considering that both she and Kakashi had been in Konoha for the past three years, this means that Kakashi paid no attention to her ''at all'', even though she was the only one of his students who was ''still'' in the village during the TimeSkip.
** After their first failed attempt at bringing Sasuke back during the Sai and Sasuke arc, Team 7 meets to try to figure out next steps. Sakura shares the research she's been doing on Sasuke's powers and asks Kakashi what's next. Kakashi promptly reveals training that both he and Yamato will be helping Naruto on, and completely neglects including Sakura in any training or further planning. Had Kakashi prepared her better or ''at all'', she might have been able to work better with Team 7 in later matters.

Kakashi promptly reveals training that both he and Yamato will be helping Naruto on, and completely neglects including Sakura in any training or further planning. Had Kakashi prepared her better or ''at all'', she might have been able to work better with Team 7 in later matters.

* ReleasingFromThePromise: Subverted when out of guilt and shame of having hurt Naruto's feelings in the past and fearing that he will die, makes a [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim false]] [[FalseConfession love confession]] to him in a desperate attempt to release him of his "Promise of a Lifetime" to her: [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy bringing back the guy she loves, Sasuke, to her]]. Naruto sees right through her fake confession, [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out for lying]], tells her that he '''hates''' people who lie to themselves, and says that even if she releases him from his promise, ''he'' has [[TrueCompanions his own reasons]] for doing wanting Sasuke to come back.

* AbusiveParents: She's very emotionally negligent of [[spoiler:Sarada's emotions revolving about her disappeared father, avoiding the subject and later outright ''lying'' to her daughter instead of telling the truth. While the question is eventually answered, it's clear that their relationship is damaged by her mother's actions.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ParentsAsPeople: Sakura, by all accounts, is a loving parent and supportive mother. [[spoiler: But her inability to openly communicate with her child (and in fairness, Sarada did keep the worst of her doubts to herself) about Sasuke, as well as presenting her with what she thought Sarada would want to see rather than admitting the truth, she inadvertantly causes Sarada to feel alienated and uncertain about herself, something that only increases when she finds a manipulated photo of her and Sasuke together.]]


Added DiffLines:

** Notably, this is ''not'' something she's managed to outgrow by the time of ''Gaiden'', as Sakura's decision to tell Sarada only the bare minimum about her father has left her child with growing uncertainty about her parentage, which only grows once Sakura presented a manipulated photo of herself over the photo of Sasuke with Team Taka. Thanks to Sarada's own example of this trope, this only ends up shaking Sarada's sense of identity so bad she wonders if Karin is her real mother and even has a DNA test to be absolutely sure about who her parents are and severely shaking the bond mother and daughter had.

Some of this is rather inaccurate. Sarada doesn't actually know Naruto all that well, becoming close to him on the same mission where she likewise bonded with her father. She looks up to Naruto and aims to become hokage, but there's no sign she sees him as a father figure. Also, Sasuke was not watching over Orochimaru's hideout. Among other missions, he was traversing dimensions searching for clues regarding what Kaguya created the Zetsu army to fight against.


* UselessBystanderParent: In ''Manga/NarutoGaiden'', abuse in the form of neglect is presented with [[spoiler: Sakura. While she is married to Sasuke and gave birth to Sarada with him, she stayed silent for over 10 years about Sasuke's disappearance within the family (he's out-in-duty watching over Orochimaru's hideout). She didn't tell Sarada anything about him besides the fact that he's a part of their family, and even actually ''lied'' by presenting Sasuke's old photo with Taka members, except by overlaying their figures with hers. While this problem is rectified in the end, it doesn't stop the fact that she basically did emotionally abuse her daughter by not giving her evidence. Abuse that started early and went on for over a decade doesn't magically heal by simply finding the answer in RealLife, as the series shows.]]
** This is actually ''{{Deconstructed}}''. [[spoiler: Because of the long, long time that Sarada spent without Sasuke, she ended up becoming closer with Naruto, who's basically her true father in all but name and genetics.]]
