Twenty Truths About Sakura Haruno
I do not own the characters, they belong to Kishimoto.
1) Sakura was the smartest kunoichi in her age group, and second smartest over all, behind only Shikamaru.
2) Sakura became a jounin when she was eighteen, shortly after the war ended. It is still to this date one of her proudest achievements. Nobody really believed a civillian born girl could make it that far. Sakura loves proving people wrong.
3)When she was twenty-three she created Konoha's Children's Hospital with Ino. She would run said hospital and would later come to also run the Konoha General Hospital.
4)Sakura is considered the best medic of not only her generation but of all time. She surpassed not only Tsunade but also Hashirama. Her skills were equal to Tsunade by the time she was nineteen and the only reason she was considered behind Tsunade at the point was because of her lack of experince compared to her. Still, by twenty-one the world acknowledge even with her lesser amount of experince she surpassed all other medics.
5)Sakura was considered one of the best taijutsu users in the world. In Konoha they were only a few who could match her and the only kunoitchi who could match her was Hinata. Tsunade could in her prime. Taijutsu only sparring matches between her and Hinata were always interesting because with their same skill level and the fact that they both only needed one hit it normally came down to the luck of who got the first hit. Hinata had won a few more rounds due to her flexibility and slightly faster speed. Sakura didn't care. Hinata may have won more and her taijutsu may be just as affective as Sakura's but that didn't change the fact that when it came to pure physical strength Sakura was still stronger. And Sakura could never bring herself to regret focusing more on her medical nin-jutsu in her later years in life.
6) Sakura's biggest regret in life is ending her friendship with Ino. As she got older she understoof how foolish it was to throw it all away based on a rumor. Ino had been more than her best friend, she had been her sister. Ino was what Sakura aspired to be and Sakura let her jealousy and need to feel as worthy as her get in the way. Looking back Sakura can recginoize that Ino never saw Sakura as less than and always protected her because she cared for her not because she believed Sakura needed her to. Getting their friendship back was a mircale, but Sakura knows there will always be that small rift between them.
7) Sakura's second biggest regret is not having Sarada in the comfortable rooms and safety of Konoha. Karin was amazing and Sakura will forever be grateful to her but man did she want a real hospital surrouned by her friends and family.
8)Sakura never once saw Naruto as a romantic interest. At first he was to much of an annoyance and then he became her best friend and then her brother. She loves him dearly but it has never been romantic. Still, Sakura can be objective enough to know Hinata is one lucky girl.
9) Many years later in her life Sakura would find out Tsunade kept her from seduction missions while the rest of her friends had to go on them. Logically Sakura knew she was to short tempered and wouldn't be able to hide her disgust to successfully complete the mission. Still, Sakura was angry at Tsunade because she kept her from those missions not because of the logical resason but because she was her favorite.
10) Sakura may not be as strong as Naruto or Sasuke but she sure as hell comes close. Besides when it comes down to pure taijutsu the boys are only good for dodging. One good hit is all Sakura needs to send them flying.
11)The furthest Sakura has ever hit someone is a about mile. The guy totally deserved it. He had threatened her prescious Sarada and Sakura would never stand for that.
12)Sakura knew her hair was a unique color, but it was perfectly natural. So stop asking Naruto!
13) Sakura lost her first patient when she was fifteen. The feeling of guilt and helplessness is a memory she will never forget.
14) Sakura is embarressed to say it took her a bit after Sasuke returned to give her honest angry opinions to him. She knew he had seen her angry at Naruto but Sakura had never directed that at him and was scared doing so may scare him away. She's thankfull that it only seemed to make him respect her more.
15) Sakura likes to brag that she has the latest three Hokages in her corner. After all Tsunade was her master, Kakashi her genin sensei, and Naruto was her best friend slash brother.
16)Sakura was named Inojin's godmother. Since Ino was Sarada's godmother the two often helded compentions to see who was the cooler godmother. They never did seem to get answers since the two would always bicker and the kids would take it as a chance to escape.
17)Sakura considers herself as Aunt to Boruto and Himawari and she knows they feel the same way. She adores the two, but god does she hope Sarada and Boruto never marry. Not because he doesn't deserve her, because if anyone does its him or Inojin, but Sakura just doesn't think she could take Naruto screaming about how their offcially family know. She knows Sasuke feels the same as her. Although being family with Hinata would not be bad at all.
18) Hinata and Sakura get together occassionally to complain about their husband. It started after the war with them sharing their feelings of loving someone who never seemed to notice or care and as they got older and married the love of their lives the two would get together and complain. Mostly about the fact that while Sasuke and Naruto may have realized they love them and return the feelings they can still be so oblivious. Men.
19) In some ways the person Sakura respects the most is Shizune. She will never understand how she put up with Tsunade all the years alone, than became her advisor, than Kakashi's advisor, and finally Naruto's. The woman had the patient of a saint.
20)Sakura knows she has many flaws but she has come to embrace and love her flaws. They are apart of her, make her who she is, and Sakura is perfect as such. She will never allow someone to take her love for herself away from her.
While I do like Sakura she is my least favorite of the main girls so I hope i managed to do fine. It's frustating because she had so much potential and just like every other female Kishimoto had to fail her.
