Just trying to say Naruto saved himself , not Hinata. I agree. You could not have even alluded to Sakura becoming a medical ninja in Part I since she had no skills to differentiate herself from her team mates. Her supposed genjutsu skills could have been actually been explained and utilized more-a fight between her and Itachi could have been possible. I kind of wish Kishimoto made Shippuden more about the three of them instead of Sasuke and Naruto. Sakura having been the reincarnation of Princess Kaguya would have been kind of cool.
You are right. The only thing we got from PartI was that Sakura is very smart, or book smart…so that makes for a good medical ninja? If Sakura knew, she would definitely have rushed to save him. Her main drive in Part 2 is basically to protect Naruto and reunite team 7. Whenever she sees Naruto in danger, she actually goes to rescue him.
The main problem she seems to have is that she looks to try and keep Naruto safe and happy but ignores her own well being and happiness, causing her to fail. Also, people calling her a fangirl when she just had a crush yes, there was some exaggeration, but they often do that in anime with women. She was actually a very powerful ninja in Part 2 and considered beautiful by multiple males. He could have done so much freakin more….. I kinda agree and disagree with the things you said.
Sakura IS considered as the cutest girl in the Naruto-verse. Naruto, Lee and Inari say it at some point. Plus that random guy who fell in love with her. My theory about that is that Kishimoto wanted to make each of the Team 7 member specilazed in something.
Naruto has great Ninjustu skills with minor Taijutsu skills , Sasuke uses Genjutsu thanks to his Doujustu with secondary Ninjutsu skills and Sakura has the Taijutsu as shown during her fight with Sasori with her secondary healing Ninjutsu skills. I think that Kishimoto found himself in a problematic situation when deciding what to do with Sakura in part 2, because had he focused on her Genjutsu skills, it would have been impossible to make her a fighter.
She plans to be by his side. Sakura is a medical nin, remember? And if she had ignored the rules, there would have been a good chance that she have died, breaking rule 3.
Now, why am I mentionning all this stuff about NaruSaku, Hinata, etc. Because Naruto and Sasuke both defeated two Akatsuki members each. So yeah, she got forgotten here and Kishi even says so in an interview. Because you are absolutely right when you say that Sakura got her power-up like an asspull.
I mean, if you go on the japanese Amazon review page of volume 66, the Japanese customers complain about the asspull too. But yeah, as a Sakura fan, I gotta take what Kishi gives me…. So give Sakura some time. They are born into powerful families, and Naruto even got a Bijuu to add to his already gifted bloodline.
So yeah, they are pretty much OP compared to her, who had to work her ass off to get stronger. Just search on the forums that discussed about chapter But when Sakura does something as unexpected as what she did in chapter , she receives praise because of the surprise effect it causes. Yes, Naruto transformed into the Kyuubi in a fit of anger at seeing Pain strike Hinata down. But how is that exactly a good thing?
During the War Arc only, and only then, has Hinata ever done anything useful for Naruto or anyone of note. The way I see it, both Hinata and Sakura are a bit lacking as female protagonists. The point of the matter is that hinata is a supporting character and sakura a main character who has way more screen time ofcourse you expect sakura to have more accomplishments.
Sakura is a main character so compare her accomplishments with naruto and sasuke not hinata. If you have to build up sakura while attacking hinata then you lose credibility. The reason why hinata vs pain had such an impact is because she knew she could not win but still tried just because it was for naruto.
Sakura healing hinata is moot and void because hinata triggered the nine tails which triggered minato which triggered talk no jutsu and which triggered rinne tensei. Do you think that sakura would sit there if it were sasuke pinned down?
I felt that the reason kishimoto made sakura a medic was because he wanted a reason for her to be there without doing anything. Even shikamaru took out that centipede. At least Naruto and Hinata, not sure about Sasuke and Sakura lol. Naruto never really loved Sakura in that way. I dont really get Japans obsession at least in the anime world with female characters having to prove to their peers how great they are at something.
The type that displays how great they are without flaunting it. As for you statement about the franchises genre. Kishimoto really focused in on relationships and companionship. Well I absolutely love Sakura. She is my favorite female character alongside Kisara Yu-Gi-Oh!
Mainly because they develop very differently from others. Sakura treats Naruto that way because, he might be the only person she actually trusts, and she knows that he will always be there for her. I really liked Sakura but I started to hate her because of her superficiality, her ignorance, her fanatism and her devotion to Sasuke and her cruelty to Naruto.
Why does she love Sasuke? She is a bad friend, she ends her friendship with Ino, her only friend for a boy and decides to make her her rival.
Naruto really loves her, he sheds blood, tears and sweat for her, he sacrifices his feelings for her to be happy and she, she strikes him for futilities, despises and tramples his feelings. She could have evolved over the time and become a better person and an excellent kunoichi, she would have learned the taijutsu with Gai-sensei and the medical jutsu with Tsunade-sama. Apologize to Naruto and Ino and treats them as her best friends and she would have bitterness Sasuke because of he tried to kill her and she would have beaten him for that Karin too , She would have fought a lot more and would have won with her taijutsu, her determination and her insight.
In the end she fell in love with Rock Lee and we would stop seeing her like a superficial and useless person. Never liked Sakura. She was willfully oblivious to the fact that she was destroying Naruto with that selfish promise that it was Sai, the most emotionally stunted character in the series, who broke it to her. I think Aohebi, that they got it right for Sakura, pairing her with someone who gives her the cold shoulder and whose affection seems little more than taps to the forehead and vague smirks.
I totally agree with you. She definitely deserves him and his coldness. Never thought about it like that Akiko-san, Neko-san. I guess she does deserve a distant and cold relationship with sasuke considering her admittedly poor treatment of Naruto even after all he did and treating her WAY better.
Naruto would have always wanted to save Sasuke whether he promised Sakura or not. Did you not watch the show? So arguing that Naruto only went after Sasuke due to the promise asked for by Sakura is not right. He would have gone after Sasuke any way. Besides Naruto never hated Sasuke for the stuff he did, he was happy to have him back in a heartbeat, so why just bash Sakura?
It just felt right. Sasuke tried to push her away because he believed she did not deserve him, and also she could be that one person who can avert him from his revenge. As for them not being together so much after getting married, well I feel they are both mature enough to make those sacrifices for their village, and their love is strong in their hearts. Their love is something beyond those things that most of the current materials based generation can not ever hope to understand. Besides it was all more sibling like.
She did not have that kind of feelings for Naruto. I have had at least 2 guys who had a crush on me, there was nothing wrong with them, but I never felt any feelings towards them.
She is now one of the most valuable women in Konoha. She felt real to me. If she was always so perfect and good I would not have related to her at all. All you people are extremely stupid.
You claim that sakura never had a reason to love sasuke and was only after him because of his good looks. First of all, sakura may have initially liked sasuke based on his coolness, but the more time they spent together, more she started to see his flaws and fell in love with his imperfect self. Second no one in the whole manga except for hinata was given a reason behind their love. He clearly loved her dearly as he started a war for her.
Sakura suffered the most for loving sasuke. She stopped wanting to be with him. I agree that she did treat him badly, but after commenting on him being an orphan, and Sasuke calling her out, she did feal bad. Above all she supported Naruto. And during his fight with kiba and neji. She cheered for him and had faith in him. Third, about her breaking her friendship with Ino. Sasuke was never the only reason. She wanted to blossom and beat Ino to prove her strength. They became rivals rather than friends.
Sasuke was just the last straw. I would like to remind you that sasuke just left recently, she was very hurt by his betrayal. Only one who could now was naruto. So she asked him to bring him back. She never asked him to promise her. It was Naruto himself who promised her. Not the other way around. About her fake confession. She just recently found out that sasuke became an international criminal and was ordered to be killed. But was the truth. Above all Sai left her guilt ridden by saying that her promise with Naruto is making him suffer.
And about how Naruto was in love with her. Clearly she never took his promise so seriously and never knew he loved her. Plus she knew that he will be able to see right through her. She knew she hurt him. She felt guilty for doing it soon after. She was planning to kill herself, after killing sasuke. Sure her plan was completely flawed and so was her reasons to confess to Naruto. But she thought there was no other way. Like sasuke tried to kill Karin, Naruto and even kakashi. Them forgiving him is fine but if sakura does it, shes desperate??
He was completely under the influence of the curse of hatred. It would have been so. But the thing is, that if sakura actually did went after Naruto instead of sasuke? She would nothing more than a shallow fangirl. Going from one cool guy to another just because the other one is too out of reach. Loving sasuke was never easy.
She knew it but she could never stop. Plus it was sasuke who made sasusaku canon due to the forehead poke. He never abandoned her or sarada.
He was on a classified mission that only he could complete due to his rinnegan. If sasuke never took the mission, there would have been another war. To stop another war from happening, he left on said mission for years as to protect the future generation mostly sarada from not suffering the way they did. After they got married, sasuke is not cold to sakura. In Gaiden we saw it. He held her so gently after it. And when sarada asked that if he loved sakura, he replied yes.
And when she asked, how can he be so sure? He said that You sarada are living proof of my love for sakura. Meaning, sarada was created from their love for one another. I had read that Sakura was planned like this, just a normal girl without much to do and that even the author gave the whole story a role that made the fandom hated. Kishimoto dislikes me in that aspect, puts them as useless. In short, good post. Sakura is a prime example of a wasted character and contradiction.
Time will tell I guess. Sakura is a contradiction. And she was terrible to Naruto, who truly cared about her and her happiness. Though she improved over the series, in the end, she regressed back to her shallow self and married Sasuke without even rebuking him for his misdeeds or even his leaving her all alone in the epilogue.
Sakura is terrible. And look at her now, she crawls back to Sasuke and marries him after all he did including nearly killing her and him treating her like crap. What a character. Sakura is a terrible character. She obsessed over a guy who was a douche to her and her friends while putting down a dude who truly cared about her and her happiness. From then on it was hard to change my perception of her, not that she made it hard especially in the early episodes.
But then it hit me Sakura it actually such a pitiful character to be tied to love. Blame Kishimoto he really need to learn to create female characters. Even with her individual accomplishments in the Medical Ninjutsu field it just feels cheapened when she is confronted with her love. But the only thing I like of SasuSaku being a thing is there adorable daughter Sarada. How she could be the union of two annoying characters is beyond me. Why are people such selective readers when it comes to sakura??
After the chunin exam sakura stopped fangirling over sasuke. Sakura never wanted to make sasuke hers. She never wanted him to fall in love with her. Sakura just wanted sasuke to be Happy. She protected her team in the chunin exam on her own. She fought ino as to prove her worth and growth. She defeated Sasori on her own will.
She charged madara as a diversion. She punched kaguya at her blind spot to seal her once and for all. After the war she opened a children hospital for war orphaned kids. She did all of this for herself! As you can see her character does not revolve around sasuke. Heck she even once chosed Naruto over sasuke. Loving sasuke gave sakura courage to become strong. It does not define her Character.
Sasuke almost killed Naruto countless time. And people are fine with it. Do you hear yourself here? Naruto forgave sasuke instantly and brought him back to his life. Sakura never forced sasuke to chose her. He did it on his own free will. People sometimes forget that chapter and chapter has a 15 year gap. Before sasuke left for his mission, sarada was and sakura was 26 or something. Both of them got married when they were So as you can see, they had a long time to get to know each other again.
Alot of time to fall in love again. Alot of time to forgive each other. Alot of time to start all over again. Plus sakura is not a lonely wife. Where is it written?? Like give me the proof. Sakura is more than happy with sasuke. Even sasuke admits it. He told orochimaru that his wife was not weak. He told sarada that she was borned out of their love for one other. And he said that he hopes that people will able to see the bong between them. You people need maps and directions to understand something because you are unable to read between the lines.
Shit on Hinata. She tries to break out, but the drug she was injected with hinders her strength and chakra. Kido comes to visit her soon afterwards, explaining that he wants to draw Sasuke out with news of her kidnapping due to their romantic relationship. Once he's captured Sasuke, he'll kill Sakura to strengthen Sasuke's Sharingan , in turn making Kido's planned synthetic Sharingan more effective.
Sakura keeps Kido engaged in the conversation while she gathers enough chakra to break free; having finally seen the Sasuke impostor, she tells Kido its many minor flaws that make it inferior to the original. When she's ready, Sakura breaks out of the basement, through the floors above, and finally the roof with a single Cherry Blossom Impact.
Outside, she meets Sai and Ino and teams up with them against Kido and his men. Sakura is drawn into a fight with the Sasuke impostor, who chokes her using his one of Kido's synthetic tailed beast cloaks. Sakura breaks free and, as she beats him unconscious, warns him to never impersonate Sasuke again.
She regroups with her teammates and decide to find the rest of Kido's henchmen, but find them defeated by fire and genjutsu, and they realise this is Sasuke's doing and he had just disappeared. Although saddened, he didn't at least say hello, Sakura is happy that Sasuke does care about her enough to rush back to the village to save her.
After turning Kido over to Ibiki for interrogation, Sakura resumes her duties and decides to wait for Sasuke's return, which she believes is imminent, so she can talk to him. The final page implies that Sasuke returned to the village to be with Sakura, as he says "I'm home, Sakura. Main articles: Konoha Hiden novel and Konoha Hiden anime While looking for a present to give to Naruto and Hinata for their wedding, Sakura finds a picture frame that she thinks would be perfect.
Ino finds the exact same picture frame at the exact same moment, and their fight over who will buy it causes both of them to be expelled from the store, neither of them able to purchase the picture frame. Ino blames Sakura for what's happened, insisting Sakura's unnatural strength and large forehead make her uncouth and, more particularly, unlikely to ever be married.
Sakura is deeply insulted by the accusation and challenges Ino to a cooking competition to prove that she would make a good wife. Sakura and Ino make their own soldier pills ; Sakura puts pudding, Ino's favourite dessert, into hers so that Ino will have no choice but to approve of her recipe. He soon collapses to the ground with blood running from his nose.
Neither can taste poison, but they do taste their favourite desserts: Ino loves the pudding in Sakura's and Sakura loves the anmitsu in Ino's.
Sakura and Ino reflect on their like-mindedness and how their competitions always push each other to be better. They, therefore, decide to go shopping together, helping each other find a gift even better than a picture frame. Sakura later attends Naruto and Hinata's wedding by herself, but thinks about Sasuke travelling somewhere. Sakura informs Kakashi that she had been doing some research of her own and she discovered several Konoha shinobi have disappeared, including a family friend of Ino's.
When Kakashi tells them that Sasuke is investigating the disappearances, Sakura reacts with anxiety at the mention of his name due to her being frustrated towards their long distant relationship. Konoha is attacked and Sakura and the others discover the attackers are the missing shinobi, who are under a genjutsu. The ringleader of the assault is Ino's family friend, Taidachi.
Ino tries to use her Mind Body Switch Technique on Taidaichi, but falls under a genjutsu trap; Aoba saves her, but both pass out.
Sakura heals them, as well as the rest of those injured in the attack. When Sakura learns Sasuke captured the ones responsible for the events and helped change their ways to repent, Sakura, although being tired of waiting for Sasuke to come home, is proud of Sasuke for how much he has accomplished to redeem himself. Sakura is mentioned in a letter written by Naruto and given to Sasuke while he is on his journey. In it, Sakura compares his current duties of protecting the village from the shadows to that of his childhood dream of joining the Konoha Military Police Force.
It is Sakura's words in the letter that compels Sasuke to decide to return to Konoha and be with her. The end of the novel strongly implies that they reunited some time afterwards, as Sakura says "Welcome home, Sasuke. When Sakura and Sasuke began dating, they had their first date overlooking the ocean, though it only lasted for two and a half minutes. When she went into labour, Sasuke brought her to one of Orochimaru's hideouts and had Karin help with the delivery.
Sakura gave birth to their daughter, Sarada , and returned to Konoha with her family. Afterwards, Sakura and Sasuke raised their daughter together for some time, but he left the village on a mission to investigate Kaguya, leaving their daughter with few memories of him.
Promising that he'd come home after completing his mission, Sakura poked her forehead. Eventually, she became director of the Medical Clinic and its top healer. She also began giving separate lessons to genin in medical ninjutsu. Later, Sakura attended a Five Kage Summit with her husband, who informed the Kage about uncovering evidence of Kaguya forming a new White Zetsu Army in order to face some greater threat.
Agreeing to keep this information secret and wanting to safeguard the future of their daughter and the new generation, Sasuke continues his wanderings as he tries to find more information, using his Rinnegan to inspect other dimensions. Main article: Academy Entrance Arc. In the anime, as the village began getting constant attacks from an unknown culprit , Sakura treated a Konoha Purification Plant worker who had his chakra drained in the Konoha hospital.
When the culprit behind the attacks was revealed to be Sumire Kakei , a unit was deployed to apprehend her. The rogue student unleashed Nue onto the village. While Kakashi organised the unit to defend from its attack, Sakura worked with a unit to treat the injured. Main article: Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring In the anime, Sakura is about to go on a trip with Ino but as Sakura begins to leave, she realises that a patient's teddy bear, which she brought home so that she could sew it, has not been picked up yet.
Sakura promised to return the bear that day, but Sarada promises that she will do it for her. Later, Sakura and Ino go to the seaside cliff, where Sakura and Sasuke went on their first date. Ino asks Sakura if Sasuke contacted her. Sakura says no, wondering what Sasuke is doing at the moment. Later that night, Sakura arrives home and asks Sarada if she returned the teddy bear, with Sarada commenting it was easy. Sarada asks Sakura how her trip was, and Sakura calls it wonderful.
As Sarada's graduation from the Academy approaches, Sarada starts asking Sakura about Sasuke with greater earnest. Sakura struggles to answer questions about Sasuke's childhood in order to hide his past from Sarada, leading Sarada to question if Sasuke and Sakura are even married.
This upsets Sakura and she punches the ground, which then inadvertently destroys their house. Sakura faints at the realisation of what she's done. She later wakes up to find herself in the care of Shizune , who informs her that Sarada has left the village to look for Sasuke and also tells her about Sarada's doubts on her parentage.
After chuckling at her daughter's recklessness, Sakura goes after her. Sakura arrives in time to save her family from Shin Uchiha , rupturing his organs in the process. Sakura apologises to Sarada for not being more open with her, but Sasuke insists that he's to blame.
A creature then teleports her and the two Shin's to his hideout. There, Shin holds her hostage and asks her to transplant the organs from his injured son into him, which she refuses. While Shin is performing the surgery himself, Sakura is disgusted about his philosophy regarding his clones and declares he has no idea what it's like to be a real parent.
When the surgery is completed, Sakura reveals she was pretending to be a helpless hostage to get information on Shin for Sasuke, and she begins fighting him.
When Sasuke arrives, he saves Sakura and pulls some scalpels out of her, and she thanks him. After the clones stab Shin, Sakura stands in front of Sarada as they prepare to attack, but Sarada launches herself towards them and subdues them with her strength. With the fighting done, Sakura hugs Sarada and expresses relief that she is alright, before confirming that they are biologically related. Sasuke accompanies them back to Konoha and spends some time with Sakura and Sarada, even posing for a family photo that their home has been missing.
Sakura and Sarada see him off as he leaves Konoha again; when Sarada becomes sad, Sasuke hugs her and pokes her forehead, promising to return as Sakura looks on with a smile. Sakura then gives him a prepared lunch and hopes for a kiss in return, but he departs without further comment while smirking, depressing Sakura as she waves goodbye.
During the new Konohagakure holiday, Parent and Child Day, Sakura had to spend much of her time at the hospital. Later the day, she found to her shock that Sasuke had returned to the village. He discussed with her his problem in connecting with Sarada. Sakura noted that having spent much of Sarada's life away and only hearing stories about Sasuke and his various exploits, Sarada probably became disillusioned at who Sasuke was as a person and his attempts at being a dotting father seemed lame.
Ultimately, Sakura suggested that he should approach Sarada more like Sasuke's relationship was with his father and brother back in the day; just enjoying the time they have together and talk about their goals. Later that night, the Uchiha family enjoyed a hearty meal together. Main article: Graduation Exams Arc In the anime, Sakura noticed Sarada's lack of excitement over going camping, and her complaints about Boruto remind her of her own complaints about Naruto during their Academy days.
When Sarada's class began preparing for the Genin Exams , Sakura joined her daughter to discuss her progress and future goals with Shino. Before she goes, Sarada notes that Sakura must be happy since Sasuke has come back to Konoha, to which Sakura replies that Sarada must be the happiest. Later, during the exams' final matches, Sakura watches with Temari and Ino , cheering loudly when Sarada wins her first match. After Kinshiki and Momoshiki kidnap Naruto, Sakura heals Hinata , who was badly injured in her failed attempt to save him.
When Boruto prepares to join Sasuke in rescuing Naruto, Sakura carries Hinata to him so that she can reason with him. However, seeing Boruto reminds Hinata, like Sakura, of a younger Naruto, so she allows him to go. Naruto is successfully rescued and life returns to normal when he gets back to Konoha. As Sarada and her team leave for a mission, Sakura watches them with Sasuke.
Main article: Mitsuki's Disappearance Arc In the anime, when Mitsuki seemingly betrayed the village by attacking two gate guards, the village was put on lockdown. Sakura was in charge of treating the injured men. As one of them began to recover and show signs of regaining consciousness, Sakura gave the report to Yurito to be delivered to the Hokage. Meanwhile, Boruto and Sarada left the village without authorisation to find Mitsuki.
While Hinata was worried about the consequences of their children's' actions, Sakura insisted that they knew what their actions could lead to but still had faith they would be okay. Later, suspecting that the attacks would make another attempt to kill the recovering guards to cover their tracks, Moegi disguised herself as one. The suspicions proved correct as a brainwashed Yurito tried to poison her. Despite Moegi and Sakura cornering him, Yurito used the poison as a smokescreen to escape.
Ultimately, Yurito is captured and freed from his brainwashing, but falls victim to the enemies' Explosive Clay trap to cover their tracks. As Sakura treats the deeply injured Yurito, she gives Naruto permission to briefly talk with the recovering guards. Later, Sarada joined Boruto in retrieving Mitsuki, who apparently betrayed the village. When the genin returned, an angry but relieved Sakura hugged her daughter as a welcome.
Main article: Time Slip Arc After Sasuke helped in delivering Shukaku safely to the village, he was given some down-time. While Sakura was happy to have her husband back, she was dismayed by how little time he spent at home.
Regardless, she decided to make his favourite dinner to welcome him home. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Boruto were sent back in time to shortly after Sasuke's defection, past-Sakura bumped into the two.
Fearing changing the future from interacting with his future wife, Sasuke decided to keep his distance.
Sakura noted how similar Naruto and Boruto where, which the two bluntly denied. Later, Sakura joined her friends in helping Boruto and Naruto clean up a bathhouse to make up for the commotion Naruto and Jiraiya caused there. Days later, as Sakura was returning home from another gruelling session of training with Tsunade, she bumped into adult Sasuke.
He quickly apologised and rushed off, dropping a piece of paper in the process a letter from Sarada. Sakura looked at the contents. While it was revealed to be a letter with the message smeared too much to read, Sakura made out Sasuke's name written on it. Suspecting that Boruto knew something about Sasuke, she decided to confront him about it. Boruto, nervous about being found out, simply said that he knew a different Sasuke then the one she knew. While seeing that he was hiding something, Sakura decided to drop the subject with Boruto, instead finding the stranger's teacher to ask him directly.
She later found the mysterious man battle an unknown assailant alongside Boruto and Jiraiya, who was after Naruto. When Sasuke's efforts proved futile thanks to his continued fatigue and the foe's strange abilities, he tackled the man into the river with him. While the man emerged unharmed but fuming at Sasuke's interference, Sakura fished Sasuke out of the river and hid him while using her new medical ninjutsu to treat him.
Eventually, Sasuke awoke, accidentally addressing her by name. As she began to ask him questions, her efforts to heal Sasuke overtaxed her and she fainted. Sasuke gently laid her down before going to help his allies. Days later, after Urashiki was defeated and Sasuke and the others were discharged from the hospital, Sasuke and Boruto were ready to leave. Before they could, they were approached by Sakura again, still determined to learn "the stranger's" connection to Sasuke.
As Sasuke fumbled to find an excuse, Jiraiya chimed in, giving an elaborate story about how they were avid fans of his and wanted to train under him, hence the injuries. Sakura ultimately accepted the story, finding the traveller strange. Before leaving, Sasuke used his Sharingan to erase Sakura's memories, along with everyone else of the past, of the recent events to protect the timeline. After Sasuke and Boruto returned to the present, Sasuke found his wife sleeping at the table, waiting for him.
After she awoke and greeted him, she decided to make him some food, to which Sasuke warmly thanked her. Main article: Kara Actuation Arc In the anime, when Team 7 was defeated by Deepa , the genin were brought back to the village for emergency care.
As Sakura worked on Boruto, Shizune worked on Sarada. After a successful operation on both genin, Sakura voiced her concerns for the mental impact of the defeat on them. Three days later, Sarada and Boruto disappeared from their respective rooms in the hospital. Sakura however quickly deduced that the two would meet up with Konohamaru and Mugino who were ready for a mission to investigate Kara. To her relieve however, the children merely wanted to voice their trust in the older ninja to handle the mission while they would stay behind and commit themselves to grow stronger with hard training.
Later, as Sarada sought intense training from Sasuke, Sakura watched from afar in concern for her daughter. As she continued to observe the gruelling conditions her daughter was going through, Sakura confronted her family.
While Sakura insisted that she couldn't push herself so recklessly, Sarada was furious to hear her mother baby her so, refusing to see why she wanted to get stronger and stormed off. Alone with her husband, Sakura admitted that as a mother, she couldn't handle the thought of Sarada being injured again like she did.
Sasuke insisted that as parents, they have to prepare Sarada as much as possible for the world, and that she is strong as they were back then. Unable to fully accept Sasuke's view, Sakura was left depressed. Later that night, Ino and Hinata decided to take Sakura out on a girl's night to talk.
They insisted that as mothers themselves, they too feared for their children's well-being, but they had to have faith that they were strong and could endure.
Ino insisted that Sakura as a child had drive that pushed her to forward, and Sarada inherited as much from Sakura as she did Sasuke. Ino's words managed to cheer up Sakura.
The following day, Sakura decided to oversee Sarada's training personally. She insisted that just blindly facing the challenge wouldn't yield any results. She forced Sarada into a sparing match with her, quickly overwhelming her. She pointed out Sarada's biggest flaws. Sarada's chakra control was still underdeveloped, quickly burning through it in her various actions and unleashing it randomly when attacking.
This affected both her combat performance and development of her Sharingan. Sarada's second problem was that her resolve was still too frail, fearing defeat. Determined to break past her limits, Sarada faced down Sakura again, using her Sharingan to mimic the movements and general timing of Sakura's attacks to reach a standstill. As Sakura criticised her recklessness, she was proud to see her inner strength was like Sakura's, deciding to put Sarada through the same gruelling combat training Tsunade did to her to improve her chakra control.
Main article: Kawaki Arc. While buying flowers at Yamanaka Flowers for Sasuke's imminent return, Ino disapproved the idea of a husband who is almost never home, to which Sakura responded that she only wanted him to return the village safely despite feeling lonely at times. When Sarada came to ask Sakura about her forehead seal , she explained and revealed that it has existed since the age of the Sage of Six Paths.
She also revealed Sasuke was returning home when Ino suddenly trembled upon sensing a sinister chakra near Naruto , much to Sakura's shock. Sarada left the shop telling Sakura that she was going home. Later when she was on her way back from the flower shop, she found an injured Sasuke who teleported behind her on the road, again shocking her. She took him to the hospital and proceeded to heal him, saving him from his critical injuries. After Sasuke and Naruto made a full recovery, Sarada and her team were treated as well, after making a daring rescue of Naruto.
She noted that Boruto not only sprouted a horn and manifested a Byakugan in his right eye with his massive increase in power, but even was acting differently. This concerned Sasuke, but Sakura told her daughter to rest. While Sakura was dismayed to admit this, Naruto firmly chose to not wallow over it, feeling that Kurama would ridicule him for it. During the course of the mission, Sakura encounters Mizore Fuyukuma several times.
When they arrive at the village where Nerugui's owners live, they are attacked by Temujin 's warriors, who wield the power of the Stone of Gelel. Sakura is eventually forced to fight the wolf-like Fugai ; she uses metal pillars to reflect Fugai's ear-splitting howl, thus causing the pillars to collapse on her and kill her.
During the mission, she's makes several uses of the medical ninjutsu and increased physical strength she gained from training with Tsunade, the latter particularly in her fights with Karenbana. Sakura struggles against Karenbana during their first encounter because of Karenbana's ability to turn invisible. During their second meeting, Sakura notices how much perfume Karenbana wears, helping her to defend herself.
Later in the fight she breaks a chandelier, scattering glass across the floor that allows her to find Karenbana and knock her out. Sakura later tries to carry Shion to safety, but they are followed by Kusuna and Sakura is injected with Secret Anaesthesia. Once she recovers, she helps her team defeat Kusuna and his men. During their journey, Amaru's body is possessed by the Zero-Tails ; despite trying to fight it, Sakura is defeated.
Naruto leaves Sakura behind as he goes after Amaru. During the investigation, Naruto and Sai are injured by strange animals. Sakura heals them and, when they get back to Konoha, forces them to spend some time in the hospital.
Hiruko later declares war on the ninja villages and Sakura is assigned to secure Konoha's borders. When she learns that Kakashi has defected and that Naruto has been imprisoned to stop him from going after Kakashi, she helps him escape and accompanies him. When they, with help from Shikamaru and Sai , find Kakashi — who is under Hiruko's control — they fight Hiruko's chimeric animals, save Kakashi, and ultimately Hiruko is defeated.
While fighting Mukade, Naruto and Yamato vanish, only to reappear immediately afterwards with no memory of what they've just been through. Though he's unaware of this, Naruto claims he saw the girl in a good dream he had, causing Sakura to pull his ear and call him a pervert. Main article: Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison When Naruto is accused of trying to assassinate the Fourth Raikage , Sakura is surprised and is the only member of Team 7 to try and argue for his innocence.
Despite this, he is imprisoned in the Blood Prison. Sakura is later part of a force sent to the Blood Prison to rescue Naruto, and while there helps capture escaping prisoners.
When they get back to Konoha, Sakura asks Naruto if her earlier surprise was convincing, as the entire thing was staged. When they return to the village, Sakura's parents, Mebuki and Kizashi Haruno , embarrass her with their concern for her safety. She meets with Naruto later to complain about her parents' protectiveness.
As they talk, they are attacked by Tobi , who uses the Limited Tsukuyomi to send them to a Genjutsu World where their dreams come true: Naruto has his parents and Sakura doesn't have hers. She enjoys it for a while — especially because her parents died saving the village and thus Sakura gets special treatment from the villagers — but she eventually starts to experience the loneliness of not having parents that Naruto has known for his entire life. Sakura is eventually kidnapped by Menma on Tobi's instructions and the Genjutsu World's Akatsuki is hired to rescue her.
Sakura then saves Naruto from Menma who in turn saves her from Tobi, thus breaking the Limited Tsukuyomi. Back home again, Sakura rushes to her parents and hugs them, glad to be back. In many video games set during Part I, Inner Sakura is featured prominently in Sakura's movesets due to Sakura's lack of a defining fighting style; games vary between using Inner Sakura as a genjutsu or as an actual physical embodiment.
Although Sakura is the most recurring female character in Naruto , Masashi Kishimoto did not originally intend for Sakura to be the heroine of the series. Kishimoto attributes this to his being unable to draw good heroine characters, and fashioned Sakura as a girl who cannot understand men, the best example of a heroine he could come up with.
Sakura's creation is a result of Kishimoto's desire to make a somewhat irritating character who was well-intentioned. When designing Sakura, Kishimoto focused on her silhouette and created a costume as simple as possible. This is a divergence from the other main characters of the series, whose costumes are very detailed. The leggings are the most notable aspect of her design, as they are meant to show that she is very active. As Part I progressed, the leggings became increasingly shorter and tighter.
Although he implies that her appearance has become cuter since then, Kishimoto and much of the Naruto manga staff agree that Sakura was "far from cute" at the start of the series. Sakura's most well-known physical characteristic is her broad forehead. Because of this, Kishimoto at times focuses too much effort on drawing it in scenes or promotional artwork where Sakura is featured prominently.
This results in her forehead appearing too large. The upper part, though, still has a Chinaesque feeling to it, so as to make her more feminine. Kishimoto's staff have said that Sakura's pink hair was originally intended to give her a unique style and to resemble cherry blossoms, after which she is named.
