Sakura Haruno

About:
During the time Naruto has been away, Sakura has devoted herself daily to her training under the godaime, Tsunade. As Tsunade's apprentice, she's picked up medical jutsus quickly, as well as Tsunade's super-human strength and temper. With her perfect chakra control, she's able to deliver strong blows to her opponent; just one punch could knock someone out of a spar match with this pink-haired ninja. Now that's she's stronger, like Naruto, she has yet to give up on Sasuke.

Appearance:
Sakura's hair is still the same pink it was before Naruto left, and she decided to keep it short. However, Sakura is a bit more mature and older looking. She did grow in height, but Naruto managed to surpass her in that area. Although she looks thin, be aware that she has chakra and knows how to use it.

Power:
During the three year time gap, Sakura had trained under the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade. In the time they shared training and honing Sakura's skills, she learned medical ninjutsu, how to be a medic, and how to obtain the same monstrous strength as Tsunade. Sakura trained very hard with Tsunade when time allowed it, and Sakura often found herself in life-death situations despite the fact that it was just training. Somehow along the way, she also inherited Tsunade's short-temper as well.

Sakura proves her worth when she fights against Sasori with Chiiyo. She managed to beat all of Sasori's strong puppets with just her fists and chakra, and then she also showed her skills as a medic by healing herself and Chiiyo. Together with the elder, Sakura managed to kill Sasori.
