The problem with this manga is that you need to do what Kakashi said and look underneath the underneath. However, 60% of it's fans refuse to do that and take eveything at face value. Sakura looked like she charged in recklessly. That's it and that's how they're gonna take it, they won't think beyond it. Sakura got saved by Naruto again. They don't care about pairings, so they will just call her weak. She thought about Sasuke, then she's clearly still fangirling(sarcasm).
Kishi likes to be subtle, especially with Sakura and her development and that's the problem. He needs to give it to the haters and straight up F**cking show them she's not weak. They refuse to see logic outside of what is drawn in the manga and will not try to look for deeper meanings.
NH/SS have the opposite problem, when it comes to their ships. They look so deep into it, that they barely remember what actually happens in the manga and delude themselves into thinking they're right.
Kishi just need to be straight forward about Sakura's feelings and that she is not weak. Until that happens the 24/7 bashing will not end. Sure bashing will never end, but people might start waking up from their bulls**t, if their complaints get proven wrong by Kishi himself in a way that they can't twist it.
