i dont think she has a clan or something
kishi draw her to be a normal girl and most of the girls to identify her as herself her background is of a normal girl with a normal family .

Either or, there's a reason why he didn't show it, for her being one of the main characters / the heroine in the series. I do believe it's why she can merge perfectly into a relationship with Naruto, for the Uchiha and Hyuuga have a background with pure bloodlines.

I told you above why he did it. its obvious. She is meant to be the fan insert. the person we the reader identify with the most. She has minimal background so we the reader will insert our ownselved into her shoes. her parents are left deliberatrly vague for that reason as well.

were meant to see her growth and strength as she faces these challenges head on. We see her anguish and pain, and her determination. And all from our perspective. were with her as she overcomes these obstacles mwithout special techniques or a clan behind her or blood line limits.

Nothing but her own hard work.

And like us she is flawed and inperfect. She makes mistakes like us and has bad judgement sometimes.

I personaly find her to be the most relateable character in the story because of this.

Now Ill grant I wouldnt mind seeing some hints of her training, maybe see her learn slug summoning or a variation of Genesis Rebirth. But even without them as long as she continues to grow as she has id be content.

Man, sure wish there was a studio out there that would animate the Naruto manga.

She has a clan symbol so she is from a ninja family that at some point in the distant past had some significance. Apparently it's not been a clan of any note in the past few generations though. Thus the Haruno clan's status has fallen to the lower rungs of ninja families.

everyone can use a symbol , she is not from any clan , kishi do not tell anything about it and her background is already done she is a fan insert like someome said before
if u find something about it its 100% fanfic or something like that
i've see all databooks so she is not from clans...

erm... there is. it's called studio perriot

[ciardha]

No, that's not in any chapter or databook.

It's her clan symbol, that's the way that kind of symbol on clothing is used for ninja in Naruto when it's not a village symbol. A Japanese reader would immediately get it's meant to replicate the real world historical samurai clan (uji) symbols (mon). It's made clear it's her clan symbol in a chapter 1 opening illustration where it's behind her on the wall like Sasuke's Uchiha and Naruto's Uzumaki- we find out in part 2 that symbol is actually the Uzumaki clan symbol. When you see a ninja wearing a symbol on their clothing and it's not a village symbol it is their clan symbol. We see that over and over in the manga. It's her clan symbol. In fact in chapter 450 we see amongst the crowd other people with her clan symbol... so those people would be related to Sakura in some fashion.

We also see those clan symbols in Madara's flashback when he speaks about the Rikudo Sennin and his sons. We see on a page an image of clan symbols. It's meant to replicate the the real historical Japanese samurai clan symbols. Some samurai were not high enough origin status to have a clan symbol, some ninja clans in Naruto do not- Iruka's for example. The fact that Sakura does have a ninja clan symbol points to her having a ninja clan heritage. Karin comes form a non ninja family thus she has no clan symbol. Merchants, farmers, etc... don't have family crests in Naruto's world. It's specific to ninjas. (since their roles are basically exactly flipped from the real historical Japan, samurai may perhaps not have mon, like the ninja in historical Japan...)

Or maybe her parents are civilians.

That'd actually be pretty cool
Considering she's worked so hard to become a ninja.

[Phantom_999]

Yup. Oh by the way fenris, about your new avatar? ... Those aren't SAKURA'S panties are they?

Nope, she has a ninja clan symbol and plus Shikamaru's words when he was talking to Sakura about the revenge cycle shows they are ninja. They would personally go seek revenge not hire someone like a civilian would. I think it's kind of silly to deny her family are ninja when Kishimoto has made it clear they are, just not anything special, "fodder" Chunnin at best. Maybe her mom never even got to Chunnin but even as a retired Genin she would still be a ninja. Kishimoto doesn't show civilians very much in this story- they are outside the norm for this story. This is a story of ninja, so "normal" in this world would be having one or both parents that were just your typical Chunin- like Iruka and his parents. As freaky as it sounds in our world, it would be the Japanese real world equivalent of having a typical "salaryman" father and mom that is a retired "OL" (office lady). Sakura's quickly risen from "OL" to a middle management level "salarywoman" where Naruto is the "office boy" who is so spectacular that he's gong to jump ranks and become CEO eventually.

Okay, but I've never seen them so I still have some doubt though

I finally got around to watching this week's episode and I've gotta say it wasn't too bad, I rather enjoyed it despite it being a filler, and it was nice to see some Team Seven albeit it was a little sad.

Yeah, it wasn't bad, but I think something like a SaiIno moment wouldn't of hurt.. and yes, I support Ino with Shikamaru, but SaiIno is also good, and wouldn't hurt me to happen at all.

[Phantom_999]

kinda lost interest somewhat for fillers
