Results of 'NARUTOP99' Global Character Popularity Poll unveiled, winner to get their own manga by author Masashi Kishimoto

Yeah Sakura 3rd !!!!!

I'm actually very surprise considering the amount of hate she's getting everytime her name is mention

but tbh i would prefer a manga on a secondary characters where we don't get a lot of backup story about them more than a Minato one

Quote from Help1

Who is the character that won, fans?

Minato

Quote from Selynn

Actually, Itachi was always my favorite while watching Naruto, but since we've seen his story a lot, I thought it was fair that he placed 2nd. We've seen little of Naruto's father's past. Actually, the character of Minato was a bit boring to me. He has a lot of fans just because he's powerful and Naruto father. Personally, his character is too bland. Sakura's 3rd place is impressive. In fact, Sakura has a lot of fans who love as well as hate. Kishimoto explained that he actually likes the Sakura character, because the editors put pressure on the him who had to listen to a few noisy empty haters and put her into the background, unfortunately we never saw her development from her like Naruto and Sasuke.

I 100% agree with Minato, he have a big fanbase because of how strong he is and because he is naruto father

but he is one of the most boring character, his character have no depthno backstory, and even the few times we saw him wasn't enough to really give him a personality

But i disagree with the fact that we never saw any development from her character

She went from the unconfident sakura, who couldn't express her emotions really that's why she had her inner fort and who couldn't fight and always had to stay in the back

to her a mature sakura, who's more confident in herself and who have more ease to speak her mind and doesn't need to stay in the back and could actually fight

and even in shippuden when she was in the back it was not because she was useless like when she was a kid but because she was actually more useful in the back thanks to her medicine jutsu

and even with her relationship with Naruto and sasuke we could actually see a big development

her relation with naruto went from seeing him only as a nuisance and a brat to seeing him as a real hero, someone who had her trust and could rely on her, and she really cared about him

while for Sasuke, the start of shippuden she's still the naive girl "in love with him" and want to find him and bring him back to konoha

to then realize that the sasuke now isn't the same that she knew and changed, to the point where she was decided to kill him to protect naruto and it really show a big change in her development where she finally put the safety of naruto above her obsession for sasuke

sadly one of the reason why i Hate the end of Naruto and Boruto is because i feel that all this development that she had through Shippuden and towards Sasuke was completely threw over and erase with the end of naruto and boruto

and people who deny that Sakura didn't have a development or say that she was useless in Naruto just act in bad faith in my opinion

I'm more curious about how Hinata end up #10

when we saw her maximum 10 times in shippuden and she never fight, never was useful

and even personality wise she had no development since Naruto
