### Universe

Earth-5

**Sakura Yamanaka** (山中サクラ, *Yamanaka Sakura*), née **Haruno** (春野), is a variant of Sakura Uchiha, and a kunoichi of Konohagakure's Yamanaka clan. A former team member of Team 7, alongside Naruto Namikaze and Hikone Uchiha, Sakura is a prominent figure in the field of Konohagakure's medical ninjutsu. She eventually married her childhood friend, Ino Yamanaka, marrying into the Yamanaka clan. Due to a chance meeting with Kisshōten Ōtsutsuki, the woman said she had an interest in Sakura, and granted her power; unknowingly, Sakura accepting this power made her into a vessel for the sweet-faced Ōtsutsuki.

## Appearance

Sakura has fair skin, green eyes, and pink hair. As a younger girl, due to Ino preferring to help style her hair, Sakura grew it long, to encourage Ino to spend more time with her and try different hair-styles. Appearance-wise, Sakura's looks make her quite popular. Sakura's attire stands out from her hair; she wears a sleeveless blue qipao dress that reaches her upper thighs, with white trimmings and a white circular design on the back similar to outfits she wore as a child; it is tied with a black obi. She wears black shorts underneath the dress, black gloves, and pink elbow and knee protectors. Sakura also wears regular black, high heeled ninja sandals.

After making contact with Kisshōten Ōtsutsuki, Sakura gains the Kāma, a black diamond-shape seal, on her forehead. It was merged with her Strength of a Hundred Seal, supplanting it while reaping the benefits of its stored chakra. It is typically hidden by the young woman's forehead protector, which is worn over it.

## Abilities

Sakura is a multi-faceted shinobi; originally possessing little aptitude for anything, she blossomed under tutelage into a medical-nin without peer. Putting her chakra control to good use, however, has given Sakura the distinction of a medical-nin who sees frontline action, utilising a mixture of immense skill in taijutsu and monstrous physical strength, in addition to powerful regenerative abilities. After receiving the power of Kisshōten Ōtsutsuki, few in Konohagakure are Sakura's equal in a one-on-one fight.

### Ninjutsu

#### Medical Ninjutsu

Employing her exemplary chakra control, Sakura was trained as a medical-nin and is well-known through Konohagakure as the best in the field.

#### Yamanaka Clan Techniques

Marrying into the Yamanaka clan, Sakura was taught the special techniques of the clan by her wife, Ino Yamanaka. These techniques are those that specialise in altering the opponent's state of mind, the most basic of which is Mind Body Switch Technique: through this technique, Sakura is capable of transferring her spiritual energy into a target, taking over their body and influencing their decisions. Due to Sakura's immense skill in chakra control, she learned how to combine the techniques of the Yamanaka clan with the Mystical Palm Technique, creating a new original technique: the Mind Mystical Palm Transmission Technique, which allows her to transmit her consciousness to a target and heal them with her spiritual energy. Additionally, she can use the Mind Clone Switch Technique to take over multiple targets, or heal multiple individuals.

### Kāma

Sakura's most powerful asset is the Kāma. Recieving a portion of Kisshōten Ōtsutsuki's chakra, it manifests as a four-point black diamond seal. Bearing this mark makes Sakura the currently only known vessel of the Ōtsutsuki, who intends to use her as a contingency if she is killed, Initially seeming benign, a genetic backup of the Ōtsutsuki which subconsciously allows Sakura to access the powers and abilities of the woman who imparted it. This mark merged with Sakura's Strength of a Hundred seal, taking advantage of its vast stores of chakra to have an easier time integrating into the woman's body.

Having been instructed in its use by Kisshōten herself, Sakura is able to activate the mark at will. This gives her the ability to absorb chakra, as well as vastly increasing her physical abilities and chakra levels. It also gives her access to the vast array of Kisshōten's abilities: this includes the woman's dōjutsu, the Byakugan, and all of its associated abilities. Sakura, with her trained knowledge of anatomy, is able to use the Byakugan to aid in striking vitals, as well as assisting in surgical operations. Should Sakura's life be threatened, however, the mark will activate on its own to defend her.

Overtime, the mark has gradually been overwritten Sakura's body at a genetic level to be reborn as a "perfect Ōtsutsuki". At Sakura's stage of possession, genetically, she is considered an Ōtsutsuki. This advancement in genetic overwriting comes with the ability to access a transformation unique to the Kāma: marks extend from her forehead across her body, and two, rabbit-like horns identical to Kisshōten's manifest atop her head.

## Trivia

* Sakura is bisexual in Earth-10, explaining her marriage to Ino Yamanaka.
* While Sakura has not displayed any traits that make her special in **Earth-1**, she has proved compatible with the Kāma in **Earth-5**. The author justifies this with her exceptional use of the Strength of a Hundred Seal in the original timeline.
