Introduction[]
Sakura Haruno (春野サクラ Haruno Sakura,) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure. When she is assigned to Team 7, Sakura quickly finds herself ill-prepared for the duties of a ninja and the complications of her team-mates' lives. By training under her master, Tsunade, she becomes capable of facing the challenges of the life of a ninja and help those who need her. She is a main character of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto manga. Currently she is a soldier and field medic of the 1st Division.
Personality[]
When Sakura was a little girl, she was insecure and highly self-conscious about her large forehead, covering it with her bangs. It was not until she met Ino, who defended her from bullies and became her friend, that she became more self-confident. However, while Sakura was noted for being an honor student for her scholastic intelligence in the Academy, she became narcissistic as she was more interested in her appearance and Sasuke as opposed to practicing her ninja skills. Because of this, she found Naruto Uzumaki's advances and attempts to gain her attention irksome, calling him childish and foolish, citing his lack of a family as being a reason he was such an annoyance to everyone in the village.
Sasuke pointed out that this was because Sakura never experienced loss in her life and thus couldn't understand himself or Naruto, prompting her to look at things from Naruto's perspective in an effort to understand her teammates. Over time, Sakura became more mature as she developed a mutual friendship with her teammates. As her core, Sakura is compassionate, determined and courageous, willing to sacrifice herself and combat those she knows to be superior to her to defend her team. She has shown that despite being overcritical, overbearing, hot-tempered and blunt at times, especially with Naruto, she can be supportive of her friends. At age 16, Sakura displayed that she doesn't back down from a fight, noting that she inherited her master's contempt for losing. Sakura can also be reckless, due to her desire to catch up in strength with Naruto and Sasuke, her over protectiveness of them, and her need to prove her worthiness as a ninja, which often leads her to impulsively attack her opponents and get rescued by her comrades.
After Sasuke left the village, she becomes determined to bring him back, but eventually comes to accept that Naruto is the only one who can do anything about Sasuke and decides to put her faith in both of them after seeing Naruto's resolve to bring Sasuke back no matter what.
History[]
Sakura's childhood was relativity normal.
Sakura as a child
When she first entered the Ninja academy girls pick on her because of her large 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. One day she made friends with Ino Yamanaka who defended her from the bullies an encouraged Sakura 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 she met Sasuke Uchiha and developed as crush on him though almost girl in the academy had crush on him at the time.
After graduating from the Academy was placed on a team with crush Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki who had a crush on her and she found very annoying. She tries to bond with Sasuke by stating her envy of Naruto's lack of parents but this just annoys and offends him thought. Upon realizing what she said she tried to be nicer to Naruto from now.
Sakura first appearance before the two year timeskip.
Not long after the team meet their Jonin-sensei Kakashi Hatake and gives them the Bell Test stating that whichever of the three takes one of the two bells on his person will officially become Genin. While Naruto tries to take Kakashi, she seeks out Sasuke to see if she can help him. Only to be caught out on by Demonic Illusion: Death Mirage Jutsu, not long after Naruto and Sasuke are defeated also.
Kakashi's catches the team trying to feed Naruto
Kakashi then explains that the goal of the test was for them to use teamwork to pass. He is persuaded to allow them to try again after lunch, but instructs Sasuke and Sakura not to feed Naruto. Sasuke feeds him anyway, needing him in top-form if they're to work together, and Sakura does the same. Not long after Kakashi returns and sees this and passes, letting them know that because they showed that they cared more about the group than following his orders.

Chakra and Physical Abilities[]
An example of Sakura's strength
- Taijustu Master
- Cherry Blossom Clash: Although it may appear to be a simple case of superhuman strength, this is actually an application of the precise chakra control that is used in medical ninjutsu. The user gathers a dense concentration of chakra in their fist that they release on contact with a target. The resulting damage is enough to seriously damage living targets and will likely also do some collateral damage to the surroundings. Ground that is affected by this jutsu fractures and sends small, flower petal-size particles into the air, hence the name
- Heavenly Foot of Pain: Sakura jumps in midair and targets her opponent with a falling axe kick. Sakura concentrates her incredible strength into her heel and strikes the enemy, dealing massive damage. It was shown that when she strikes the ground, it results in a gigantic crater that can even kill an opponent caught in its immediate strike zone.
- Twin Cherry Blossom Clash
- Immense Strength
