Sakura Haruno

* Part 1
* Pre Ninja War
* Great Ninja War

## Introduction

Sakura is the only child of Mebuki and Kizashi Haruno. She had an ordinary childhood, raised by her parents without any serious tragedy or complications, unlike her team members. When she entered Konoha's Academy, a few of the girls in her class started picking on her because of her broad forehead. Sakura tried to combat their teasing by hiding her forehead with her bangs, but this proved to the other girls that it bothered her and caused them to tease her even more. Ino Yamanaka, one of her classmates, saw this, and defended Sakura from her bullies and encouraged her to embrace her forehead rather than hide it.

Over the following years, Ino's guidance and friendship helped Sakura become comfortable with herself and develop into her own person. Though she felt indebted to Ino for helping her, Sakura began to feel that she was living in Ino's shadow when she, instead, wanted to be Ino's equal. At some point after she entered in the Academy, Sakura met Sasuke Uchiha and she developed a crush on him. When she told her friends, she was surprised to learn how popular Sasuke was with the girls. Sakura heard a rumour of Sasuke being attracted to girls with long hair and she began letting her hair grow to get his attention. A couple of years later, when she learned Ino had a crush on Sasuke, Sakura ended their friendship so that they could compete for Sasuke's love, thus beginning a bitter rivalry between them. After they were placed in their teams, Sakura approached Ino, telling her of her liking towards Sasuke. Ino revealed that she too had feelings towards him. Sakura took it to end their friendship, starting their dislike towards each other in the beginning of the series

## Character Details

As a genin, due to her focus on her studies, Sakura lacked any particular combat skill, other than the basic skills she learned in the Academy. This greatly limited her role in missions, to the point where she frequently noted how much she relied on her teammates, Sasuke and Naruto. On one occasion, she is even stated by Shikamaru to be: "A kunoichi with no particular talent". Determined to change herself, she undergoes intense training with Tsunade for two-and-a-half years. From her display of skill in the earlier portions of Part II, others have remarked that Sakura would likely surpass Tsunade. Upon completing the Strength of a Hundred Seal during the Fourth Shinobi World War, she's finally caught up to her team-mates at the time. Two years later, she rises to the rank of jōnin, and was capable of single-handily defeating Kido Tsumiki despite the Anbu being empowered by a Tailed Beast Drug. As an adult, Boruto remarked that she was a suitable replacement for Naruto as Hokage.

While Sakura has rarely been seen using taijutsu in Part I, she was able to hold her own against Ino, one of the top students in her class. After Tsunade's training, Sakura's taijutsu improved to the point that she could easily destroy a number of Sasori's puppets. As an adult, she could go toe to toe with a Mangekyō Sharingan wielding opponent like Shin Uchiha.

As seen in Part I, Sakura's most defining skill was her proficiency in chakra control. Even as a genin, Sakura could greatly augment her speed by sending chakra to her feet, impressing both Naruto and Rock Lee. Such exact use of her chakra allows her to perform a jutsu with maximum efficiency without wasting much chakra. Kakashi Hatake once noted that her aptitude is well-suited for genjutsu. While never actually seen using genjutsu, due to her affinity for it and her proficiency in chakra control, Kakashi taught her a method to deal with being caught in genjutsu that involves abruptly stopping the flow of chakra. She's frequently been shown to quickly identify when genjutsu is being used, and release herself or others from it. By adulthood, genjutsu had little to no effect on her and she is able to break out of even some of the strongest ones with ease

## Powers and Stats

Tier: **8-C** as she's regarded to be an above average shinobi with good chakra control | Likely **7-C** as she's shown to have high destructive output with new chakra control | Likely **6-C** with Byakugō seal

**Name**: Sakura Haruno (Uchiha in Boruto)

**Series**: Naruto

**Age**: 12-13 (Part I) | 15-17 (Part II) | 32 (Boruto)

**Classification**: Human, Kunoichi, Medical-nin

**Powers and Abilities**: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Chakra Manipulation, Statistics Amplification (Shinobi are capable of enhancing their physical capabilities with the use of chakra. The Shunshin no Jutsu allows Shinobi to greatly enhance their speed by focusing chakra in their feet), Surface Scaling (By focusing chakra at the soles of their feet, Shinobi can scale and cling to vertical surfaces, and even walk on water), Weapon Mastery (Can utilize weaponry like kunai, shuriken, and exploding tags), Acrobatics, Explosion Manipulation with explosive tags, Minor Illusion Creation and Duplication (With the Clone Technique, Shinobi can create illusionary duplicates of themselves that have no physical substance), Shapeshifting (With the Transformation Technique, Shinobi can transform themselves into other people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects, such as weapons), Paralysis Inducement (With the Temporary Paralysis Technique, Shinobi can completely paralyze their targets from close to mid range), Afterimage Creation, Stealth Mastery, and Speed Enhancement (The Substitution Jutsu allows its user to instantly replace themselves with a nearby object such as a tree log, plant, person, or clone at the exact moment they are attacked. The Jutsu works even if the user is physically restrained or observed by characters as observant as Sharingan or Sage Mode users. This creates the optical illusion of the user being hit, which confuses the opponent and gives them an opening to flee or counterattack), Genjutsu Nullification (Shinobi can typically break free from and nullify non-ocular genjutsu by intentionally disrupting the flow of chakra within their bodies), Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant, Analytical Prediction, (Tsunade taught and trained Sakura to master her evasion techniques), Earth Manipulation, Wind Manipulation, Water Manipulation (As a leading force sakura is shown to be able to manipulate most chakra Natures) Regeneration ( With Byakugō seal) Pain supression (Was capable of withstanding life threating situations while fighting Kido and his chakra tailed beast like cloak.)

Attack Potency: likely **High-Rise Level** (While in part I she was able to pin down an offguard Zaku and hurt him as well as capable of damaging Naruto) **Town Level** (during the bell test and onwards Naruto regards Sakura as someone he does not want to get hit by as it would cause massive damage) Likely **City Level** (Sakura gets stronger throughout the envasion of pain and mastering her Byakugō seal.) **Island Level** (During the Great War sakura is compared multiple times to Naruto and Sasuke even moving up to thier 6 paths form. This should logically make her at around KCM1 Naruto level at least.)

Speed: **Supersonic** (As contiuning her training should be comparable to base early Naruto) **Hypersonic+** (as moving into part II sakura gets much faster and stronger capable of matching Naruto and Kakashi) **Massively Hypersonic+** (Being Relative to KCM1 Naruto) likely **Far Higher** (Sakura gets even stronger and uses her abilities even better while fighting against Madara and Kaguya)

Durability: **City Level** (Sakura gets stronger throughout the envasion of pain and mastering her Byakugō seal.) **Island Level** (During the Great War sakura is compared multiple times to Naruto and Sasuke even moving up to thier 6 paths form. This should logically make her at around KCM1 Naruto level at least.)

Stamina: Superhuman (Could summon Katsuyu effortlessly and start healing the Alliance)

Intelligence: Gifted (Sakura is an accomplished medical ninja and is book smart. Thanks to her keen sense of observation and analytical skills, she is often able to fool her opponents and take advantage of their vulnerability by using a variety of deceptive tactics and cunning maneuvers.)

Weakness: The **Creation Rebirth** cells can only split a certain number of times in a lifetime, and by speeding up this process, users of this technique are shortening their natural lifespan. Initially, she was insecure about her abilities and prone to crying when her loved ones were hurt, but that has since changed as of Naruto Chapter 632. She is also enamored with Sasuke and powerless to stop him from wreaking havoc throughout Shippuden. She will put herself in harm's way to protect innocents and loved ones.

### Notable Attacks/Techniques

* **Chakra Enhanced Strength:** This is a technique where the user focuses chakra into their hands and feet using precise chakra control and releases it with pinpoint timing.
	+ The training for this technique is quite arduous, as Tsunade repeatedly came to Sakura with full force to help her learn. Subsequently, the outcome of this training is incredible, giving the user enough strength to make gigantic craters or kill opponents with a single strike.

* **Chakra Scalpel:** This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for precise incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, this method can make cuts inside the body without creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection.

* **Cherry Blossom Impact:** While some may see it as "superhuman strength," this technique is an application of medical ninjutsu, that demands the ability to concentrate, along with minute chakra control. An enormous amount of chakra is kneaded inside the body. All of it is gathered into the fist a split second later. After that, the chakra is released into the target, causing massive damage. With the damage done dependent on the amount of chakra used, it is also possible for a skilled shinobi to amass it in their fingertip. When the ground is struck, the excess shock pulverizes it into tiny pieces, which are then scattered like flower petals, earning the name "Cherry Blossom Impact."

* **Creation Rebirth:** The absolute pinnacle of medical ninjutsu, created by the greatest medical ninja, Tsunade, is the ultimate regeneration technique. By releasing the enormous volume of chakra stored in her forehead at once, the body's cell division is forcibly stimulated by proteins, reconstructing all organs and tissues. The technique itself does not regenerate the old cells; instead, it hastens the creation of new ones through division. If this technique is used, a body with severely damaged vital organs, usually incurable, can be instantly restored to its pre-injury state. By Tsunade's claim, as long as she has chakra, she can't die by any means. As such, she gains a form of "immortality" throughout the technique.
	+ However, a body's cells can only split a certain number of times in a lifetime. By speeding up this process, users of this technique are shortening their natural lifespan.

* **Strength of a Hundred Seal:** Seal, which is reputed to be the pinnacle of chakra control. By storing vast amounts of chakra over an extended period into a specific point on their body — usually the forehead — the user creates this seal, which manifests in the form of a rhombus-like marking. Once the seal is formed, the user's already impressive chakra control allows them to perform techniques without any wasted energy. When released, the seal will spread across the user's face or wrap around their entire body. The stored chakra is then released into their body, greatly amplifying their medical techniques and giving them access to the Creation Rebirth and the Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Techniques.

* **Mystical Palm Technique:** This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without needing medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a considerable amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few experts can use this technique. Kabuto Yakushi demonstrated the ability to use it a short distance away from the target instead of direct contact.
	+ The user can overload the target's regular circulation by transmitting excessive chakra, trapping them in suspended animation. Although this is usually undesirable, Kabuto once used it to get Kiba Inuzuka out of his way.
