The Cherry Blossom Impact is a technique used by Sakura Haruno in which she gathers an immense amount of chakra into her fists and then releases it on contact with an object, usually the ground, creating a devastatingly large crater. Though, this technique can be used on another person, in which the chakra shoots through the opponent's body in a pulse effect. The user must have perfect chakra control and fairly adequate Taijutsu skill to preform this technique correctly. The Cherry Blossom Impact can also be used in lesser forms, merely using chakra to enhance muscle strength. This dangerous technique can cause anything from broken bones and ruptured organs, to instant death when used at full power. Tsunade created the concept of the this jutsu to intimidate enemies and keep them at bay while she heals injured ninja.

Even though chakra is invisible to the naked eye, the Cherry Blossom Impact seems to be visible at times, seen as a large amount of chakra engulfing the user's hand. This jutsu is a very practical offensive technique for medical ninja because it is very intimidating and very effective in eliminating any enemies so the medical-nin can return to their primary task of healing the injured as soon as possible. The chakra utilized to create the Cherry Blossom Impact can also be transferred to different parts of the body to create the same effect, such as Tsunade's Painful Sky Leg. The full Cherry Blossom Impact can be as powerful as techniques like the Chidori and the Rasengan.
