Her Good Ranking[]
Her Heroic Deeds[]
- Although she acted arrogantly and rudely when she was younger, she subverted these corrupting traits by adulthood and became a much more mature, understanding and even wiser person. She also used to be very short tempered but turned into a much calmer individual as an adult (though she can still lose her temper and lash out, especially when defending her family).
- Despite her feelings for Sasuke early on being selfish and unhealthy (to the point of obsession, making her even break off her friendship with her best friend Ino just because they both have feelings for Sasuke), she was just a kid at the time and since then her feelings grew to become genuine love. It turns out that, as a married couple, Sakura has a healthy relationship with Sasuke and they are happy together.
- Since then, she also fully restored her relationship with Ino and they are currently best friends again.
- She gives Naruto some advices on how to better control his chakra to climb up the tree.
- She saves Naruto from falling to his death in the Forest of Death.
- In the Forest of Death, she attempts to protect Naruto and Sasuke from the Sound ninja.
- When Sasuke is attempting to rip the arms off of one of the Sound Ninja due to the influence of the Curse Mark, she embraces him from behind and helps return him to his senses.
- After the battle with the Sound Ninja, she thanks Lee and tells him that he's encouraged her to become stronger.
- She shows concern for Sasuke, asking him not to fight due to seeing how the Curse Mark affected him.
- She goes to visit Lee at the hospital, leaving him flowers and giving him emotional support.
- After Sasuke wakes up from his coma, she tearfully hugs him and looks after him while he's in the hospital.
- She attempts to reason with Naruto and Sasuke and convince them not to fight, and when she sees how far the match is going, she runs up to try and stop them.
- She begs Sasuke to stay in the village, not wanting him to go down the path of vengeance by himself and even offering to support him in his quest for revenge.
- She saves Kankuro's life by extracting the poison from Sasori's puppets out of his body.
- With help from Lady Chiyo, she defeats Sasori and his army of puppets.
- After getting information about Orochimaru's hideout, she is part of the team who goes to try and return Sasuke to the Hidden Leaf Village.
- She is sympathetic towards Sai, offering him support despite Sai having badmouthed Sasuke, and when Sai insists he's only a tool who doesn't exist, Sakura tells him that the bond he made with his brother proves his existence and encourages him to nurture that bond and memory.
- She is part of the team to try and capture Itachi to get Sasuke to return to the Hidden Leaf Village.
- When the village is attacked by Pain, she saves some citizens from one of Pain's summoned creatures, then leads the medical team in treating the wounded.
- After Naruto defeats Pain, she hugs him and thanks Naruto for saving the village.
- Upon realizing the burden of Naruto's promise to bring Sasuke back, she feels incredibly guilty and attempts to take responsibility and eliminate Sasuke by herself.
- During the war, Sakura heals the injuries of her allies so they can get back to the battlefield and discovers the White Zetsus who infiltrated many of the Shinobi camps.
- After Kurama was extracted from Naruto, she resuscitates him and keeps him alive long enough for him to be revitalized.
- As Team 7 fights Kaguya, she and Obito go through different dimensions to try and find Sasuke and successfully bring him back. Then, she helps Naruto and Sasuke land the finishing blow to reseal Kaguya.
- Upon Sasuke revealing his betrayal and intention to take over the shinobi world and kill the Five Kage, she begs him not to leave again, attempting to remind him of their past as Team 7 and asking to return to how things once were.
- After Sasuke apologizes for everything he did, she tearfully forgives him and helps heal both his and Naruto's injuries.
- She has her moments where she cares about Naruto and her friends, and she does try to be friendlier with them.
- Sakura's persistence in her faith in Sasuke was pivotal in redeeming him.
- She helps Naruto overcome his depression from his break up with Hinata.
- She is a doctor who works as the director of Konoha Hospital and the Children's Mental Health Clinics helping to treat people and save many lives. She is so good at her medical ninjutsu that her skills were compared to Tsunade's and she is currently deemed "the most powerful medical ninja" in the world.
- She loyally and patiently waits for Sasuke while he goes off on his travels, even when he takes years to return home. When their daughter Sarada is sad about her father's absence, she ressures her that Sasuke still loves them and he will surely return.
- While Sasuke was away, she took care of Sarada and raised her by herself during most of her daughter's childhood.
- She saved Sasuke, Sarada and Naruto from Shin Uchiha and helped them to defeat him and his clones.
- She sympathized with Shin's clones and wanted to help them. She was also outraged by the way Shin sacrificed his clones to survive, treating his clones as body spares for his organs rather than having true parental love for them.
- She gives Sasuke good advice when he is having a hard time interacting with Sarada.
Why She Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- Despite being a main character, Sakura severely fails the in-story standards compared to Sasuke, Hinata, and Naruto, who have outdone her in every way, even to heroes who on an average role with similar resources have been too comparable or surpass hers, examples listed in alphabetical order are:
- Gaara shedding his unsettling corrupting qualities and dying for his village.
- Kakashi Hatake for doing more heroic deeds during the main run of the series.
- Rock Lee, who has less potential than most of the heroes in the series, persisting further, saving Naruto and accepting his humility in forgiving Gaara for his villainous deeds.
- Shikamaru for his tactics in defeating villains like Hidan (a NPE).
- She lied to Naruto about being in love with him and not with Sasuke anymore, to make him stop pursuing Sasuke. Although she did this in an attempt to protect Naruto, she was aware about his crush for her and tried to manipulate his feelings.
