Talk:Sakura Haruno

New outfit?
Since when did Sakura wear her new outfit on Shippuden? It looks kind of cute, I guess. Just someone answer. --Rasengan888
 * From time to time during the extra minutes in the Shippuden anime, mostly when she isen't on a mission. Jacce 21:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * She's actually currently wearing it in the manga, when she's healing people from Pain's invasion. Ai Raiokachi 18:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Painful Sky Leg
When did Sakura use this jutsu? --ShounenSuki 15:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed. Sociable me has been repeatedly engaging in the same revert war for a fair period of time. Other editors already made notes disproving the information that was being added. But Sociable me kept adding the information back and would not discuss it. Since Sociable me was unwilling to cooperate properly with the rest of the wiki I've blocked Sociable me now. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 10, 2008 @ 18:28 (UTC)
 * If you're wondering. The information was being added by Sociable me, and Tsunade medical. The've were adding things to Sakura and Tsunade's pages with rationales like "Tsunade knows every Medical Ninjutsu", and other complete assumptions. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 10, 2008 @ 18:31 (UTC)
 * That's odd. I thought that Tsunade DID know every medical ninjutsu. Goes to show what I know, though. :)  Ai Raiokachi 18:34, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think they have thought of Cherry Blossom Collision. The preforming is basicly the same, only using the hand insteed of the foot. Jacce 18:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Cherry Blossom Collision, or Impact or whatever it is and Painful Sky Leg are basically the same moves. If I remember correctly, a long time ago Painful Sky Leg was tagged with Sakura with the added (In Whatever Naruto game) next to it. Then Sociable me and Tsunade medical removed it. Or it was some random anon who did it. I don't know I know thatTsunade used this move though when fighting naruto and when fighting Orochimaru /shrug Can't remember.--TheUltimate3 22:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Images
Ok, there's a little dispute over what images to put in the article.

The three images in question are Image:Sakura Shippuden.jpg, Image:Sakura Haruno alt outfit.jpg, and Image:Sakura Haruno Shippuden.png. All three have rationales so they are ok.

Originally only Image:Sakura Shippuden.jpg and Image:Sakura Haruno alt outfit.jpg were in the article, then KazeKitsune replaced Image:Sakura Shippuden.jpg with Image:Sakura Haruno Shippuden.png. I found the former image to fit the article better and undid that. KazeKitsune rationaled that the image he added provides a full body shot and put that back. In a compromise to fit both opinions best, I decided to just put all 3 images in the article. However KazeKitsune still wants to remove Image:Sakura Shippuden.jpg from the article.

The rationales for the individual images are:
 * Image:Sakura Haruno alt outfit.jpg - Depicts Sakura's alternate outfit
 * Image:Sakura Haruno Shippuden.png - Provides a fuly body shot
 * Image:Sakura Shippuden.jpg - Depicts Sakura's outfit in context, without all the out of context white and extra emphasis.

Personally I'd like to keep all 3 images in the article, as it fits best.

Oh, also another annoying laptop bit submitted my edit to the compromised version before I could finish my comment, but to sum it up. I decided to revert to the compromised version (all 3 images) while this discussion is going on. Do note however that official policy is to revert to the earliest state before the dispute. In this case, that means that if someone didn't like me picking the compromised version as the temp state, then I'd have to go back to the original state. This would mean that Image:Sakura Haruno Shippuden.png would be completely removed from the article since it did not exist in the article in the first place. So please just stick with the compromise while discussing. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 22, 2008 @ 23:42 (UTC)

yeah I found an image of Sakura in her outfit after the time skip and at first I thought it was the same but apon comparison. The image I found had Her toe nails painted a shade of dark red. Now normaly I would just diregard it but people I asked have said her nails are painted, and actually I could belive this because Tsunaday's nails are the same color almost when compared. So I was wondering if I should post this image or not.--Luigibros2 19:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sakura does not have her nails and toenails painted in either the manga or the anime, so I don't think using a picture with her having painted nails is appropriate.
 * As for the "Sakura upper body in context" picture I don't see how it's useful at all. The full-body shot has more details of the outfit itself, and I'm pretty sure no one really thinks the outfit magically changes with the backdrop. If that were the case we would need one picture of her inside a house, one inside the cave where she fought Sasori, one inside Tsunade's office, etcetera. The "context" of where she wears those clothes IMHO is totally superfluous. It's background. When using a picture to illustrate an outfit, the scenery in the background is irrelevant. Since the upper body shot has a lot less details and everything it shows is shown in the other pictures too, if any picture should be cut out, it should be this one; it's redundant. --90.57.61.164 12:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not a "difference" in background that makes context, it's an actual background. When you take two things, place one on flat white, and the other on a backdrop a viewers perception of the image is different. Images like the white shot are good for giving a flat factoral overview of finite details about something. However the perception of them is different than a shot that is actually drawn in the context of the anime. To be honest, if anything it is better to avoid them. They are drawn out of a context they belong in and as a result have a overall context or difference in them from what is actually shown in the show.
 * But moreover also note how it's drawn. The full-body shot isn't a normal neutral shot like the upper body, it's more of a promotional shot with Sakura in a specific pose out of any normal context, a bit unnatural even. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jan 4, 2009 @ 13:26 (UTC)

Part II
Ok, first what I want to point out is that when shippuden first started, her height was always put as 165... on all Naruto info sites! Plus if you look at that password cut-off they do in the first episode where they have that height chart, you can pretty much tell that that's her height. I have no idea how ppl got 161cm from that!


 * From the official third databook. It lists her height as 161. Don't derive heights from images you see inside of the anime, they are not reliable. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 9, 2008 @ 01:09 (UTC)

Even so, they wouldn't place a height chart in the anime if it wasn't suppose to prove something! for example, when Naruto had his turn, he said he was 166cm tall and how tall was he compared to the chart? 166cm tall! If they can do it for him, why change it for Sakura! All I'm saying!


 * That episode is inconsistent within itself. Yes, Naruto does say that his height is 165 in his section, but Sakura does not say her height. Furthermore, Naruto is depicted a good bit taller than Sakura and they even make note of that within the episode. As for that height chart, not only does she not say what her height is, they also don't draw her properly against it. At one point she is drawn near the 165 line, but then when they zoom in she is nowhere near that line, she's down around 161.
 * As for an explanation, animators know nothing. They are not the ones who provide the facts on the naruto series, they don't keep a factbook beside them when they draw trying to keep every last finite detail. But not only that, it's quite likely that they didn't even have a clue what Sakura's real height was. Kishimoto probably told them what Naruto's height was or something, but never told them what Sakura's was, and as a result, they couldn't proportion her correctly, they likely added in the height backdrop to avoid the intermission scenes from being to different from each other. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 9, 2008 @ 03:12 (UTC)

the one of naruto was based on a manga image. the one of sakura wasnt. exclamation!!!!!!!--69.237.226.162 03:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Height
I changed it to 165 cm.
 * So it seems... why? The third databook states it's 161,0cm. --ShounenSuki 19:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

wait huh? im sorry i dint understand wat u wrote. u changed it? --AMTNinja 19:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * An anonymous editor changed Sakura's length to 165cm. The third databook states it's actually 161cm, so I changed it back. --ShounenSuki 20:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

oh! isnt it weird, that they're heights are really short for their ages! lol I mean im 15, but im 5"11" anyways, why can't we put inches and feet with cm too? --AMTNinja 20:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know where you're from, but 180cm (~5'11") is very tall for a fifteen-year-old. I'm from the so-called tallest country in the world, and here the average adult male is about 180cm in length.
 * Any way, the average of a Japanese sixteen-year-old girl is 157,71cm (SD 5,42). For a boy of the same age, it's 169,78 (SD 5,33). In other words, she's of normal length. --ShounenSuki 20:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Nature type?
Has Sakura ever been shown using a nature type if so what is it? And while we're on the subject, is it possible not to have a nature type?
 * No she hasen't show any nature type yet. As far as I remember, Kakashi said that most people have an affinity for at least one element type. Jacce 06:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

New power
I just got the DVD for most of the episodes of shipudden and I just gotta say. WOW, Sakura has so much more power and jutsus in this part of the naruto series. This is obviously because she has been training with Tsunade, but there are some rumors that she might have surpassed Tsunade. Is this true? Just asking, cuz I was thinking I wanted to edit Sakura's abilities but i just wasn't sure, I also heard a rumor that she could possibly be the next Hokage, OMG, I'm not sure it this is true either. coolbloo12
 * If you se something we missed, edit it and see if it stays. Jacce 16:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hell no!. Sakura would never become Hokage, simpily pecause she's just not strong enough her jutsu are limited to medical and just strength and I dont think she has enough chakra to be Hokage. Plus if she's still in love with a traitor I don't think she's ready.--Inferuno Ryuu 16:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Sakura's Team
I can't change the infobox, i just want to change Sakura's team back to Team Yamato, since the 8-Man Squad was disbanded a lot of chapters ago.--Dadadaft 04:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Done, to be honest ideally this won't be an issue with the new infobox. The whole idea of team vs. previous team is completely flawed because it makes the information dependent on a specific point of time in the story. In the new infobox there will just be a team parameter which all teams should be listed in, there will be a previous team, however that parameter is explicitly used for more of betrayal cases. If a team was disbanded at some point in the story and the characters just moved into new teams (characters swapping between 8-Man, Yamato, Kakashi, etc... then those would always be listed under team). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jan 12, 2009 @ 05:20 (UTC)

Why doesn't Sakura have an appearence description?
I've noticed that Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi have been described in their articles, but Sakura hasn't. I'm new, and I don't know how to add this information, so I was wondering if someone could do that.


 * I've noticed that too. I guess I'll do that.-Xnaminex

...
 * Done. there are a lot of spelling errors though, so people can correct that.-Xnaminex

Sakura's true feelings
It appears that even though Sakura openly loves Sasuke there are incidents which subconsciously show that she feels more for Naruto than she lets on. An example of this was when she was pinned to the tree by Gaara's detached hand of sand as she kept quietly calling out Naruto's name and not Sasuke's PrimarchRadiz 14:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's possible she was still conscience at that point and was aware Naruto was the one fighting. She obviously loves Sasuke and, she offered to go with him to Orochimaru. She probly loves Naruto in a friend way and people just shallow to think she's whoring around her team. I hate fake anime pairings, they're just stupid and make animes look like soap opras. Also to peole who think Sakura's a slut, open your eyes! Ino tries to flirt with Sasuke and Karin tried to rape him, Sakura's never even flirted with anyone. And one more thing, some peole think sakura has gotten fat over the timeskip, she hasn't. the shirt she wears is baggy in Part II. I just loathe went people make fun of good anime chacters.-xNaminéx

Sakura's Student-Teacher Bonds
This probably isn't the place, I'm just curious what other people think.

She only seems to have one really strong student-teacher connection that she became stronger from, Tsunade. Naruto has two, Jiraiya, the toads and Sage mode; and and Minato (throught some sort of Will of Fire), the Rasengan. And Sasuke has three, Kakashi, Chidori; Orochimaru, snakes and sword; and Itachi, Mangekyo Sharingan. Sakura got everything she is as a ninja from Tsunade. It just annoys me that Sakura isn't her own person as a ninja yet. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Naruto and Sasuke are copies of thier teachers, I'm just saying that their teachers' training has helped shape them into the ninja they are today. But Sakura, unfortunatly, seems to have become Tsunade's double, the medical ninjutsu, taijutsu, Oukashou, sore looser, short temper, all from Tsunade. No doubt Tsunade did a great job and Sakura is a good ninja, I'm just saying she has the potential to become such stronger and isn't getting the chance. There battles are even the same!:

Technically Sakura had a short temper long before Tsunade became Hokage, as for saying that she really only picked up her skills from one teacher is wrong. Sakura can disperse Genjutsu because of Kakashi and the will of fire is really a attribute that can be applied to all hidden leaf ninja (Remember the third asked Iruka if he had the will of fire) sakura got hers when she decided to become stronger during the Chunin exam's second phase
