About

Sakura Haruno (春野サクラ, Haruno Sakura) is a main character in the anime and manga series Naruto.

The name "Haruno" means "spring" and "Sakura" means "cherry blossom", which is cherished in Japan due to its beauty and almost tragically short life span (sakura blossoms have historically been associated with samurai). In Japanese "Haru no Sakura" means "cherry blossom of spring" which may be an origin of the name.

Biography:
Sakura's prescence in Team 7 is usually overshadowed by the actions of Naruto and Sasuke. This is probably because Sakura has led the most normal childhood out of the three. Although Sakura does not possess any special ninjutsu or taijustu, she excels at manipulating chakra and is highly resistant to genjutsu (illusionary techniques). Her best traits are her intelligence and her excellent control of chakra. The latter ability makes her an ideal candidate as a medical ninja, which Tsunade has observed. Sakura does not excel at any particular type of jutsu, but is equally sufficient in each category. Her chakra control makes mastering new techniques easier. Sakura's intelligence and calmness often makes her the voice of reason in a group of hotheads.

At the end of part II, after seeing the beaten and injured Naruto from his failed mission to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, Sakura realizes she must stop relying so much on others for help. She begins training with Tsunade as a medical ninja and begins learning medical based jutsu as well as increasing her body's strength through the focussing of chakra.

Abilities and Jutsus:-

1.Inner Sakura (Special)
More of a personality disorder than a power, Inner Sakura is normal Sakura's violent inner voice which betrays her calm outer appearance. But Inner Sakura does provide tremendous willpower and even a boost to physical strength when things get desperate.

2.Superhuman Strength (Taijutsu)
Another ability learned from Tsunade. By focusing chakra into her fists or her feet and releasing it all at once, Sakura can significantly enhance the strength of her punches and kicks.

3.Mystical Palm (Ninjutsu)
Mystical Palm is a technique Sakura learned from Tsunade. It sees use with medical ninja as a way to perform surgery with chakra. In combat, this jutsu can be used to make precision strikes, especially on internal organs. It requires highly precise control of chakra

4.Poison Extraction (Ninjutsu)
A type of medical ninjutsu which requires very fine control of chakra. This technique is used to pull poisons from deep inside a body and contain it within a bubble made from water. The poison can then be safely collected and used to make antidotes.
