I love Naruto, one of my favorite animes. However I also hate it, a lot of characters are well-rounded and well thought-out, but there's always the handful of characters that get on your last nerves.
My favorite characters are Gaara, Naruto, Rock Lee, Hinata, Kiba, and Neji, in that order. However two characters I can never stand are Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke is your typical Emo OCD little orphan brat whose whole family was killed off and, you guessed, it, he only seeks revenge. He's freaking 12! Even if his family was killed off by his older brother, he has to have some fun, God! And, besides that, I personally think that the clan actually deserved to get killed off. Half of Konoha had their symbol all over the place, which indicated an overly narcissistic, arrogant, and prideful clan.
As for Sakura, though she is considered the 'smartest student of their class' she didn't even know Genjutsu when it was first used on her outside of the academy (despite the warning of whirling leaves associated with it), and she never does anything of use. She only acts when she is the only one who can do anything, and, even then, she fails at life. Not to mention, in the second series, she gets some uber godlike powers and abilities after only 2 and a half years.
