Color me surprised. I don't particularly like Sakura all that much. But it would be kind of cheap of me not to have one for her. Blanket disclaimer no jutsu!


15 Fragments of Haruno Sakura

Thumb:

This is her promise, her determination, her strength; a wet streak on the scroll, a new mark on her thumb.

Chest:

Wear red. To show your passion, and hide the bleeding.

Hair:

She leaves her hair short. She doesn't need looks to win her man.

Bone:

She'll be legendary some day, that's for sure. Like her mentor, like her team, Sakura is going to be great. Chiyo can feel it resonating in her bones.

Knee:

Her knees are sore, and she thinks she can see the indentations in the ground where she knelt. But it's not important. Important is that Naruto gets back up. Important is that she could heal him.

Neck:

She can break a man's neck with one casual backhand. People are getting better about not pissing her off.

Ear:

Sometimes she thinks her inner voice is yelling into her ear. Lately though, all she says is 'Get stronger. Prove you can do more than watch'.

Eyes:

This is what ninja do, she reminds herself when she looks in the mirror and green eyes look back more jaded.

Nails:

Sakura works with her hands too much to make her nails pretty. Anyone looking at them that closely is in no position to comment.

Back:

She has an emblem on her back as well... like her teammates. It forces her to remember that there will always be people behind her.

Legs:

Her shoes cover most of her legs because she's not stupid enough to allow any openings, even for trivial wounds.

Lips:

She dreams about almost kissing Sasuke, couples the sensation of warm breath ghosting over her lips with every memory she has of him.

Shoulder:

She feels the power in her when she attacks, feels the impact as it courses from her shoulder to her fist.

Wrist:

She fractured her wrist doing one of Tsunade's training exercises. She has learned how to deal with her pain, find focus in her own nindo.

Teeth:

Sakura has two ways of smiling. One is a gentle reflection of girlhood and happiness, reserved for peace and fluffy cats. The other is a sharp exposure of teeth, edged ferocity and confidence, as befits a kunoichi.
