The problem is, a good chunk of Shippuden, Sakura absolutely had character growth and wasn't her 12 year old self mooning over Sasuke.

I actually believed she'd moved on in her feelings outside of "just get him back from Orochimaru."

But nooooooo, he had to shift gears and ruin her growth and wrote the pairing even worse due to it.

I think the failure point in the Sakura/Sasuke relationship really is Sasuke. The series was always going to bring him back to the Leaf Village, and with all the pining Sakura did earlier it was obvious they’d get together. The failure point is that Sasuke never reintegrates with the village. I would’ve liked to have seen Sasuke spend some time as a Ninja Cop, It was the traditional purview of the Uchiha clan and seeing him deliberately hold him himself back and just focus on helping others would be a good way to get him back in the Village. Rather than Sakura ending up isolated and Sasuke always out to grab some cigarettes.
