Sakura Uchiha (うちはサクラ, Uchiha Sakura, neé Haruno (春野)) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure. After being assigned to Team 7, she quickly found herself ill-prepared for the duties of a shinobi; however, under the personal training by Kakashi Hatake, Shindō Shunsoku, and later the Sannin―and subsequent Fifth Hokage―Tsunade Senju alongside Shizune Katō, she overcomes this hurdle, earning the recognition as one of the greatest medical-nin in the world.
Background[]
Personality[]
Abilities[]
As a genin, due to her focus on her studies, Sakura lacked any practical combat skill, other than the basic skills she learned in the Academy. This 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 Senju for two-and-a-half years. From her display of skill in the earlier portions of Part II, others have remarked that Sakura could surpass Tsunade.[1][2] She also learned under the tutelage of Shindō Shunsoku. Upon completing the Strength of a Hundred Seal during the Fourth Shinobi World War, she has finally caught up to her teammates at the time.[3] Two years later, she rises to the rank of jōnin as an adult.
