I just thought.....If Sakura is this strong with just the diamond thingy (don't know what it's called XD) 

then how much stronger will she get if she releases it like Tsunade??? (assuming she can)

 

she would be CRAZY powerful!

 

I mean Tsunade always has the diamond on her forehead...and she's nowhere near as strong when Sakura has it 0_0..........

[Tokura Misaki]

I was late. 

 

Anyway, Sakura powered up. The funny part is Naruto's reaction regarding her new power.

Chatte is Theorycrafting!

Nah I was answering someone, tho I am thinking constantly at what this could mean...

Btw, found it in the end guys so don't worry/

[TouKen4Life3g]

I don't think Tsunade will die.

I DO think that healing herself from this will put a serious dent in her lifespan though and she will resign as Hokage, continue to act as a mentor, and open the door for Naruto to become Hokage.

 

She may also be the one to slap some sense into Sakura as far as her feelings for Naruto. "Don't make the same mistake I did." Etc.

It sounds possible. It's just I never seen sliced in half situation before in Naruto, so I don't know if she will live or not. I think I'm a bit worried more because ironically, Sakura has the seal now. It's like "If you have it, then the previous one will be gone." Here's hoping Orochimaru and others could be helping them out. That said how can they help Tsunade in that regard. I guess I should just wait as always.

 

Well, I can see that happening, but it should be either her dying note or to the point Naruto is heading into grave danger. Which that said, what could it be. Juubi seems like it will be taken out before this volume end. This is really confusing because it really feels like the final arc with having Sasuke acknowledge Naruto here. Not going to happen, but it could have if Kishi didn't plan him and Naruto to fight at the end. This is seriously confusing.

Exactly.

This is the tip of Sakura's asskicking iceberg. We haven't even addressed her opening this seal or all her slug foreshadowing. She has a lot more up her sleeve.

I think we're underestimating Tsunade's massive Uzumaki/Senju chakra reserves and the strength of Byakugo and the slugs. In all honestly, the Kage are lucky it was Tsunade because if it were anyone else they'd probably be dead. She can literally lay there and stop herself from bleeding out.

If she does die however, I will be mad if Sakura won't be there or know about it. I think it would be cool to see Sakura save her. Can you imagine Orochimaru returning to the field and Sakura having to find out THAT way?

There is also the possibility that Tsunade will take a bite of the yummy Karin goodness. Granted, I don't want to see Karin be the hero there but I guess she deserves something besides being Sasuke's punching bag...

I think Sasuke has a lot of growing to do before he acknowledges Naruto. He already acknowledged Sakura, albeit indirectly. Granted, there is also my theory where he knows exactly what he's doing and is egging Naruto along and pushing his buttons so he saves Konoha...

That theory counts on a fully reformed Sasuke though and I'm not totally sold on that just yet. Especially with Juugo's comments in this chapter.

Well, I don't want her to die, but the least she can do is hold on for a while before she dies, like talking to Naruto and Sakura one last time. I know we are underestimating and I hope it is that case, but it's just the first I have seen a character cut in half in this series, so I don't know what's Kishi take in here. Karin can really be useful in that regard, so yeah, seems like it can work. Again, I just wonder how the situation will be handled.

 

It's hard to judge Sasuke or this event to be honest with you. I feel like this should happened after Naruto and Sasuke settled it already, much like how last DBZ arc worked. Granted, it was well, you know, but at least it did settle more or less the feud between Goku and Vegeta before he fully acknowledged Goku as the best. That said how can Kishi even place this situation. The problem is that this Juubi's business seems like it will be taken care of in this volume. Then what, we got Obito (still in progress) and Madara just chilling until Hashirama (real) shows up to fight him. What the hell is going on? The worst part is that I just recently went back to older chapter and yeah, if Naruto achieves that finalized BM, which seems to be hinting here, then how can I expect Sasuke to be equal? Naruto is heavily foreshadowed to be God and if you remembers his battle, he's incredibly OP, to the point no man can breathe. Obito was lucky to have that portal move as well as Madara to have that fan, but he sure kept him for a while. Another problem is those guys got Rinnengan, yet Sasuke doesn't. So, how can I buy Sasuke is equal. That's why I feel things are too easy. It feels straight face win, and I don't buy it. There must be a struggle within and I don't know how or when, but it must one.

 

Surely, I can't be the one trying to figure it out how is this going to work.

[redragon88]

Is Sakura's seal different from Tsunade? I'm still not sure about it.

 

I originally thought that it was the power of the seal that let her increase in strength but now I hear that was her actual power all along. I really want to next chapters to further clarify it because in all honesty it seems that everything we discuss right now is just mere speculation and not actual clarification.

 

The problem with thinking Sakura was not using all of her power before hand is because I would find it foolish that back when she fought Sasori that she would restrict the damage that she could use if there was a chance it would help them defeat the enemy. Sakura almost died in that battle, so I don't think she would purposely restrict herself at the risk of death. That very thought goes against everything the medical ninja stand for, never dying no matter what.

 

So you have to understand why I find it a little ridiculous to think that Sakura could've done much more in the battle against Sasori when as a medical ninja you have to try your best to stay alive. I think that at least when Sakura did actual battle she would refrain herself from saving chakra, leaving it at a standstill, and resume once again after the battle was done.

 

Still, in the end I don't know if her new enhanced strength has anything to do with her diamond seal or if it was something she could do all along. I really want more confirmation on it from the manga. Maybe if she really does release it and it becomes a regeneration technique like Tsunade's we'll get further answers.

[Otaru]

Ok, i checked and for me it's "There is no need for me to make youth!!"

 

I think  that Sakura is just saying, unless Tsunade, doesn't need the yin seal chakra for keeping her always youth.

 

For example:

 

Tsunade's Seal has 100% of power: During the battle, Tsunade might use 80% of this power because she needs the remaining 20% for her appearance.

 

Let's go to Sakura

 

Sakura's seal has 100% of power: During the battle, Sakura might use her whole power (100%) because she's already youth!!

 

At least I get so....

 

Yes that's what i thought at first ! lol

Thank you

I hope Kishi will explain sakura's power up though

[Mistraal]

From what we've seen of Tsunade I think we can discern it has stages of power and that it's possibly a derived jutsu from Byakugou.

Anything else definitely requires more info though.   Maybe Naruto will ask Sakura about her new ability next chapter and she'll explain it! :)

Some form of regeneration does make sense because right now she doesn't have a defense. She can dodge or block some attaks but she can't block a bijuudama or any other ability. Also seeing Tsunade crack sussano makes me believe that a Sakura Sasuke fight might come up. She is excellent at genjutsu her taijutsu can crack sussano and with regeneration she could in theory fight against amaterasu. before sasuke got to her she was shielding herself from the flames and I wonder why

[Otaru]

Im not in fact I think we ALL have been drastically underestimating her.

I agree with that.

she haven't yet released the seal

[TouKen4Life3g]

Well this is what happens when I think ahead. I should continue to play the waiting game. It's just it's strange because it feels too easy, wouldn't anyone agree. And Team 7 is getting the main focus, which is great, but then after this volume, are we going to prologue their glory hour? Granted I do like that, but knowing Kishi, he's like one time deal for a theme and can't go further. Oh well, I'll stop thinking further ahead. I'll play the waiting game. Maybe if Obito gets in the mix soon, then this will get clearer. We do have 5 chapters left so let's see how this goes. I don't know but it just feels too easy.

[Chatte]

My curiosity is why one it's a seal and the other it's a technique...

Hmm....

[TouKen4Life3g]

Actually, I want to know if it's permanent.

[Mistraal]

Bad translation?

I trust our friend here. It makes more sense if it's a Seal anyway rather than a technique. At least it does in my mind since it's a marking. The Naruto fanbase has a terrible habit of jumbling the names of the powerups anyway, it's possible the translator sees "seal" and "technique" as synonymous?

But there names are different thou.
Thou they both of strength

[Chatte]

Well I wasn't referring at the translation because both our Japanese pros [thanks guys] said Sakura's forehead diamond is a SEAL.

Sakura = Hyakugo Seal

Tsunade = Yin Seal.

And when Tsunade releases, she activates Byakugo.

My curiosity is why the name of the seal is Hyakugo which is highly similar to the name of the technique and what actual technique has in store?!

Dunno why I have the feeling it's something that goes beyond Tsunade's techniques.

It was this thing with Yin and Yang seal.

Yin chakra = genjutsu users.

What if Sakura has in the Hyakugo seal both Yin and Yang chakra?

Do you imagine the potential there? O_o

And I know there was this thing in order to give life form, you have to have both Yin and Yang chakra.

So what if..Sakura has it?

Gaah, I need the next chapter.

And some researches.

Maybe Sakura will inherit the other half like Naruto will get the other half of Kurama's chakra?

I can only toss out ideas, we have so little info to go on. It really wouldn't be fair to Sakura for Kishi to leave this hanging unexplained while all the other characters get Talk no Jutsu about their new toys.

I didn't mean to imply that our translators were bad if it sounded that way.

 

EDIT:

Looking to this more....Man I love Sakura but that sounds like too much power. If I'm understanding it correctly that's Sage of Six Paths level and the key to unlock Creation of All Things. Maybe...

Maybe Team 7 can combine somehow to make the Sage of Six Paths? Really just jotting down brain juice now lol.

[Atheck]

I'm beginning to wonder if Kishi maintain this centre of focus on Sakura for the next few chapters. Keep in mind that Team 7 was not the only group to be seen careering through the barrier where Jubi is. There is the possibility that Kishi will devote some time to the other rookies battling against replicas. I hope that this is not true because it would be far more preferable if we could acquire a better understanding of Sakura's abilities with this seal. Hopefully this magnified strength is not the only benefit and her general speed has increased as well.

 

If the seal can be released like Tsunade's then Sakura should become even more powerful than what she is right now. It may also provide her with some regenerative capabilities similar to Byakugou. If this were to happen then Sakura would have irrefutably surpassed her teacher. It'll be intersting to see how this applies to tier rankings and hypothetical battles against the more powerful characters in the Narutoverse.

Something else that should be considered is the possible deaths of the remaining Konoha 11, including Hinata.

Tsunade and Co. didn't become Sannin until their entire platoon died and if history repeats itself this may come to pass for Team 7 to become Sannin. ALL the rookies just charged in as a group.
