Melodrama is a type of play. This type of play normally has the same characters every time. eg
Hero
Heroine
Villain
Side Kick
Servant
Elderly Parent.
The Hero always defeats the Villain and rescues the Heroine. The Side Kick is normally silly and gets lots of things wrong!
The maid usually serves the heroine. She is a female domestic servant
It's not completely defined whose the Heroine, but Sakura Haruno would most likely fit this role.
In melodrama, the heroine typically embodies virtues such as innocence, purity, and moral strength, often finding herself in dire circumstances. She frequently experiences intense emotional turmoil, facing external conflicts with villains or societal injustices. Her actions are driven by a desire for justice, love, or redemption, and she often undergoes significant personal growth throughout the narrative. Ultimately, her resilience and moral integrity often lead to a climactic resolution, restoring order and virtue.
No it is not a melodrama, it is a comedy show.

There are actually three major plot elements to the standard melodrama. The first element is provocation The motivating force of the villains abuse of the hero/heroine. Why the villain chose his/her victim. The second element is the "pangs" of pain suffered by the hero at the merciless hands of the villain. The third major element is the penalty served to the villain at the end of the melodrama. This is where the villain pays for abusing the hero heroine. If you cited only two major elements of melodrama...it could be provocation of the villain (real or perceived) and penalty...or perhaps crime (the actual acts against the hero) and the villain's punishment for those actions. I would argue that there are three major elements to melodrama personally.
The Victorian stage melodrama featured a limited number of stock characters: the hero, the villain, the heroine, an old man, an old woman, a comic man and a comic woman engaged in a sensational plot featuring themes of love and murder.
Wendy Hiller played the role of heroine Eliza Doolittle in the Pygmalion made in 1938.
Melodrama was created because the Church wanted theatre to reflect how we should act and behave. The main story of Melodrama usually involves a heroine getting kidnapped by an evil villain and the hero coming along to save the girl and show that 'good always triumph's over evil' and that 'all evil people will pay in the end'
