He's a lot smarter than he looks. Though you know how most of the main characters have some kind of super finisher. Naruto=Tailed beast ball/RasenShuriken/Giant Rasengan/a Whole lot of shadow clones with a whole lot of rasengan's Sasuke=Chidori/Kirin/Amaterasu/Susanno Kakashi=Lightning Blade/Kamui/Every single elemental he's copied/Thousand years of Death. I bet Sakura's about to get a finisher soon. I wonder what hers will be because we still don't know what elements she has.

Sage Mode anyone?

Pretty much. Though her punch is like mini-finisher because well, they can break bones. Before this arc, Tsunade pretty much done this the whole time, with exception of medical tech. So yeah, I do believe Sakura will have one step over Tsunade. It's only matter of what can it be.

[T XD]

Sage Mode anyone?

Sage Mode is very probable since she's following the steps of Tsunade. If she got it, then maybe we will have a flashback or background flashback of when she learned it and such.

It doesn't stop her doing that the last time. I just hope there's a brief flashback, though I do think that's possible.

She probably hadn't mastered it during her fight with Sasori. Maybe she has mastered it by now in preparation for the war.

If she had mastered it she would had already broke tsunade's rules.

If she does, she seems that she got the elements of Earth and/or Wood, or Earth and/or Air, or just Earth.

I've always wanted her to learn water because it fits with Naruto's wind, and the name "shippuden". Plus I feel like the water will help her medical ninjutsu. I was inspired by the time she healed Kankuro..or maybe I've just watched too much Avatar.

Just imagine what an earth release will do to her strength, if she can draw earth to her fist it will make it more effective..and deadly. XD

Come to think of it, someone had a theory that she would learn wood release. I'm not for it, but water and earth are the necessary combinations.

Haha How would you feel about NaruxKatarra?

I don't cross-ship or crack-ship. Or well I do crack-ship TsunadexRaikage just for the fun of it.

[Shadow1275]

The other thing is we don't know a lot about the Haruno clan. I think this was done on purpose by Kishimoto. Maybe they have some kind of special jutsu or affinities for certain elements?

I don't think, nor do I hope Sakura is from a clan. Even if, we wouldn't find out about it. I think she will remain a mystery, sadly. :c

I prefer her to be the underdog, she has nothing if she manage to get the sage mode she surpass even Naruto.
Because kishimoto always portraited Naruto as the underdog until he showed he was special like sasuke and thanks to his "genes" he was able to go forward with the never give up thanks to his special abilities, even the fact he's the host of the kyuubi and the fact he was able to perfect control it, it's thanks to the uzumaki clan.
Sakura has the chance to surpass Naruto.

[Dkey]

As I said before it is more likely that she will follow Tsunade's path and develop some form of sage form or slug summoning. That Slug can really absorb some powerful attacks.

As for elemental at least she should have water to counter Sasuke's Fire element. Or Water and Earth

Just to finish my post, the part 1 was Naruto proving that even people without talent to be a Ninja can surpass a genius this was even Naruto's motto during the entire part 1 then Kishimoto shows that Naruto was also a genius, that he came from a clan and that while Sasuke had the jutsus and the sharingan, Naruto had vitality endurance and an huge chakra spam.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Somewhat off-topic, but question: do they ever explain the ying-yang chakra system? I remember Yamato asked Kakashi if it's best to explain it to him, but Kakashi told him to hold it off.

[Akashi]

I believe that she comes from an ordinary family... but yeah, people speculated that the symbol on her clothes is similar with that on Hashirama's forehead during his fight with Madara.. Maybe her ancestors were related to the Senju clan.. we're yet to find out.

As for her abilities... I think that she has an amazing preset of skills. Maybe Kishi will add to them soon.

Well he held it off long enough.

Also there is no way in hell Tsunade could teach Sakura senjutsu. Simply because she cant do it. It was stated that Jiraya was the only one in Konoha that could use Sage jutsu. Orocimaru was already a missing nin at this point.

However I am certain that there is a slug sage and Tsunade simply never managed to learn it. Sakura could do her suppasing by learning it.

If Sakura managed to learn senjustu not only would that solve her speed problems, but it would make her a one shot kill ninja. Plus if that happened every member of team 7 would at some point have sage mode. Yes even Sasuke because that what the curse mark was. A primitive impure sage mode. Which is also the reason why he beat Naruto at the VotE. Because a full sage mode is stronger than the first kyuubi tail.

So I do believe that Sakura will learn senjutsu and I pray to god shes a water Nature. Her water style with his fuuton rasen shuriken equals a water tornade super strike.

Now boys and girls, close your eyes, and imagine Sakura with Sage markings getting reverse summoned on the battlefield ridding Katsuya. Now enjoys the goose bumps.

[HauntedCake]

My money is on Sakura having earth and water >> wood style >>> senju related..

Which is why I felt that sage mode after the event of Pain invasion makes sense. Sakura and Tsunade were there when the frog was explaining about sage mode. They both saw the result and Sakura, in one panel, pretty much noticed how strong he gotten without looking. I think all of us can say that we don't know when the war truly start, so therefore, anything can happen between, especially on Sakura's side. I can't guarantee that it's sage mode but I'm saying if it happens, the flashback can make sense of its time gap.

It seems like Sasuke can still have the summoning to make a parallel with Sennin, but sage mode seems too late, especially since he's all about Uchiha pride and all. Plus I think the fact having Kabuto demonstrating the power of sage mode tells me that Kishi may not have plan anything for Sasuke with sage mode. Besides, he's already strong without it and pretty much setting himself up as the boss battle for Naruto, including perhaps showing the new technique from the EMS, though he could get one last power. Not sure what but we'll see.

[redragon88]

Maybe Sakura can master an element jutsu in the epilogue or something like that, but for the main story it wouldn't really make sense. Besides, none of the Konoha 11 (except Naruto and Sasuke) use elemental techniques, they rather focus on their own specialized jutsus. So it isn't something that brings Sakura's character down, and even Tsunade who is her mentor is never seen using any elemental techniques.

Sage mode on the other hand is something I would really like for her to use before the story ends. Although, even I'll admit that the only reason I wish for it is because there's been speculation ever since Hashirama used it that not only is it the previously discussed slug sage mode, but that it's particular ability is to automatically heal the user without having to use hand seals. As in the very ability that Madara praised Hashirama of possessing that Tsunade lacked.

Tsunade to compensate obviously created the Strength of a Hundred jutsu which in turned allowed her to utilized the full power of her superhuman strength ability without breaking the medic-nin commandments. If it's true that only Tsunade knows that technique then it would be fitting for Sakura to have mastered the original one that her teacher wasn't able to, which is the original slug sage mode. With such a technique Sakura would be able to also utilize the full extent of her super strength power without breaking the medic-nin rules, and thus have more involvement in the battlefield. Kishi did say that all the characters we love were going to shine and as far as I remember Sakura also belongs to that pack despite the hate she sometimes get.

I doubt that her shining moment would be a small scene of her healing random people in the background, we have already seen her do that throughout the war. And I find it even more ridiculous that her shining moment is related to when Sasuke appears in the battlefield like other fans speculate. I mean, what do they expect? For her to team up with Sasuke to take the Juubi down, some stupid resolution that would be after she said that she would fight together alongside Naruto. After all her big talk of helping Naruto she goes to be at Sasuke's side? It's a terrible contradiction.

So putting all that out of the way the only way I can see Sakura shining is for her to be involved in the actual battle and use her super strength. It would be pretty sad for Kishi to give her Tsunade's abilities and yet restrict her to be just like any other medic nin out there. Sakura is different from regular medics, and so she should receive the appropriate treatment, and if Kishi really means to give her a shining moment that's what will happen.

If Sakura isn't going to have Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred then she should have that sage mode that Hashirama used, and that's if it's special ability really is automatic healing. And even though it might be a coincidence the fact that Hashirama's forehead symbol in sage mode resembles Sakura back symbol in her clothes really reinforce the idea that it might be foreshadowing to it. But that's just me, I won't speak for anyone else.

As for how she learned slug sage mode, if an appropriate flashback could be used it might not look forced. It could be that she only mastered it's use right before the war and thus was never able to use it before. Maybe she learned the teachings of it from a scroll Hashirama kept hidden and that's why we never see her go away like Naruto did. And the reason we didn't see her use it in the war is because she spent the majority of the time healing injured people and not fighting, but now with the danger of Madara, Obito and the Juubi right in front of them it might be the appropriate time to go all out with all the power they have in order to have an edge in this battle. Just like Tsunade by activating her healing jutsu decided to use frontal attacks instead of being support in order to have a better chance of beating Madara.

[candycane-chan]

so we're back to sakura's power up.

Senju. I think it's just a coincident, although the can symbol and the forhead mark look similar I still think that it wasn't intentional from kishi's part. Also, sakura is supposed to be from a normal clan so nothing blood related or being a descendent or anything like that applies.

wood/water/earth style. Wouldn't this take her sometime, I don't think kishi could ever give sakura one of those and explain it in a flashback.

To me sakura will always be intellectual/deceptive/medic/super strenght. Only
She'll probably be able to summon but nothing else.

I wouldn't be upset if she got sage mode but that's not gonna happen.
