[Spoilers] Sakura entering Sage Mode?

[Joshutsu]

Link to Sakura's seal being an advanced version of Tsunade's?

I'm not denying that her power-up didn't make her strong, only saying that power of that level is useless against the likes of Madara and Juubito.

Comparing Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to the Sannin is a flawed comparison IMO. Simply because of Naruto having the Kyuubi and Sasuke having an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Naruto and Sasuke represent the duo of Madara and Hashirama more than they do the Sannin because of the powers they use. Naruto relies on his Kyuubi powers and Sasuke relies on his EMS. In this battle you won't be seeing Naruto and Sasuke using their "Sannin powers" much (sage mode, snakes etc). In contrast to this Sakura relies on her "Sannin powers" (white strenght seal).

Naruto is bound to get the other half of the Kyuubi chakra and Sasuke is bound to get a Perfect Susanoo. Those two are about to acquire god-tier powers (Naruto's powers are already god-tier really), Sakura simply can't compete at that level.

To put it simply, the 3-way deadlock simply doesn't exist amongst these three because Naruto and Sasuke represent more than Sannin clones. They represent something much bigger, the elder and younger son of the SO6P (Naruto may represent the Sage himself even).

The fact it's called something different alone and the whole surpassing everyone is doing says to me it will bring about a different technique upon release. 100% sure kishi won't make a lesser version to tsunade's, that would just be dumb.

The sannin parallel does exist and so does the 3-way deadlock, we saw it a few chapters ago. Sakura does have the potential to be able to compete with them in her own right. Even if she can't now in your eyes even more a reason to give her more power-ups, no?

The madara hashirama parallel is sort of overshadowing the sannin parallel at the moment for obvious reasons as it is the edo tensei spamming spree.


There are many parallels in this series and i believe they are all relevant. Sasuke and Naruto are truly on a higher level than her. But she is still a part of the team 7 dynamic and sannin parallel when it comes to them both. So i have no reason to doubt that her getting her present power-up is to assist. To be shown off in a sense like they are. Or kishi shouldn't have bothered giving it to her.

I am not on the sage mode ship 100% because i honestly can't see what seal she is forming behind the speech bubble but i'm not against it because she needs something more. Maybe her seal release will be enough, you never know :3

 

[Uchiha Dan]

Sakura already has insane super strength!
If she had Sage Mode, she would probably be able to throw Madara and Tobi into space!

Sakura doesn't have Sage Mode and will never will.
It's too OP.

 

[izinagi54]

well it could be, but some jutsu also have the same thing, but if she does I want a good explination with it, not just cuz Naruto has it, or Sasuke might as well I want to have logic, and a reason why Tsunade can't do it. I hate plot pulls like that, its just from out of blue, the only way they work is killing off a character emotional value to the lead role, so he can change for the better or worse

Sakura has the potential to compete with an EMS User and the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki? Please explain.

The Hashirama and Madara parallel is far more relevant since the power that two those have eclipses the Sannin by several light years. Naruto and Sasuke are following that path. Against the current antagonists, toad, snake and slug powers are completely useless. Naruto is already capable of busting mountains and Sasuke is bound to get Perfect Susanoo. Sakura simply can't compete with that.

The parallels are not about power scaling. The toad,snake,slug powers never wen't beyond the summons. As clearly seen before Jiraya >= Orochimaru > Tsunade.

When i said in her own right i was referring to her current power-up to be. It's not the amount of power you have it's how you use it. Example FTG on minato put him how far up the ladder. I am one to believe kishi is intending to put sakura near their level.

Look at how people think naruto >> sasuke, yet the manga is making it seem like naruto is somehow lucky to be able to keep up with sasuke when we ourselves think it is pretty clear naruto can stomp sasuke.


That white strength seal will prove she is just not an exact tsunade clone. As far as i'm concerned for the most part once whatever she does makes her >>> everyone else in her generation like naruto and sasuke she is as badass.

I hope i will get my credit where it is due for believeing she could prove to be even stronger than currently in the future. We will have to keep an eye out.

 

[Slug Princess]

So I just woke up and read ***********’s version which luckily has bigger panels… have you guys noticed her hands stance?

You must be registered for see images

Her handsigns are no longer the previous ones… which were for healing.

You must be registered for see images

And we all know for what that is…

Oh, and please, no bashing. You know my hand doesn't hurt to use the report button.
Let's discuss civilized.

Oh come on Chatte, you know way better than that. You know that's Tsunade's Remote Healing Jutsu . Be real here, Tsunade is heading to the battlefield again. If someone is to pull out a Sage mode it isn't going to be Sakura for Christ sake.

 

[Honord Sage]

Don't worry, if it happens kishi's logic always exceeds everyone's in this base. To the point where 'asspull' is the final result of butthurt.



Kishi will make her power-up useful in battle. The 3-way deadlock has been fullfilled now it's time for the 3 of them to fight together like the previous sannin did. We don't know what is gonna come of that seal. If i was tsunade i wouldn't teach her somethign that would do her harm like it did me.

Her seal is an advanced version of tsunade's so it should do something slightly different to her i'm sure. N oone can be dumb enough to think she got that seal to sport around on her head and never use besides extra chakra for healing. Or maybe they can.

Kishi logic already said She can't no large chakra reserves, Kishi law on Sage Mode.

 

[FemmeFatale]

The slug sage would be powerful indeed it would be tooo OP. Even sakura with speed is too overpowered

 

[know it all]

To be honest, I personally can't see the difference between those two seals, :dunno: but it seems like many others can, so I'll go with the prevailing opinion *_*

 

[ShadowBandit]

Tsunade with all Her Chakra and qualifications and Jutsus and lineage could not accomplish it if it exist then How a low chakra Girl like Sakura is going to achieve it? You're not being logical in you're reasoning.

Please Sage, nothing you ever say is logical, it usually leans to the left of you biased opinion of your hatred for Sakura.

Find me a manga page that says Sakura has low chakra reserves and that her lineage, which has never been a subject in the manga affect her ability to enter a sage mode. Also the details about Slug Sage Mode, has never been discussed so we don't know the requirements for it.

And it has been stated by Kakashi, that Sakura has amazing chakra control, that she has the ability to use justus with less chakra when compared to Naruto.

But to the OP, it is interesting find, however its been a while that Kishi has focused on the differences of hand signs. At this point in the manga, a second power up might be a little to farfetched considering how she recently just received one.

But its still interesting how many Sakura bashers still exist on this thread, this thread has gone on for 11 pages mostly because Sakura haters have to put in their word that Sakura sucks.

 

[Phoenix110]

Sakura entering sage mode is an astronomical impossibility

 

[PureSkillz]

Medi ninja are supposed to keep themselves safe in order to help others.

Sakura is a medi ninja. She gets sage mode to do what? Fight and get injured/killed and not be able to heal people?

Her seal already has an advantage over Tsunade's seeing as she does not need to keep herself looking young.


What exactly could a slug sage mode do for Sakura? Increase her speed & strength? So she can attempt
to go toe-to toe with Obito and get completely slaughtered by his hax???

Naruto used sage mode once against the juubi and that was to throw a FRS cause he was out of Kurama power.


You honestly can't believe that a slug sage mode would be of any use during this battle.....

Should prob go read the manga again because all those parts you skipped through with Sakura and Tsunade in them answered this.

 

[gizmoekun]

I kinda agree that Sakura really needs to step up.

Well , sinced the kages were healed already.
And when Tsunade came back to battlefield maye it will go something like this.

Tsunade: Sakura you did a great job healing the other injures ninja. You even used the byakogou seam properly.
But this time. You need to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke. You must show them the real result of your training with me.

Sakura: yes! Tsunade-sama im going to use my trump card! I will enter sage mode!!!


Blah blah blah blahhhh and the story goes something like that. Lol

It would be a sight if it went down that way..Something we haven't seen or expected but idk I'd like to wait and see

 

[Deleted member 107247]

<div class="bbWrapper">Anything is possible, obviously, but more than likely Sakura will not have Sage Mode. To be honest, I don't think she's worth that much focus or attention, especially at this point in the manga. And as previously stated, putting your hands together does not automatically equal sage mode.</div>

So again, trying to punch/kick Juubito is gonna do what other than be suicide?

I'm really not understanding how Taijutsu comes off as being bad. Naruto had fisticuffs with Pein. The Raikage is a beast and so are Gai and Lee. The Neo So6P was just restrained so Sasuke and Naruto could get in melee range. But that Sakura though. All she'll do is kick you.

Not surprisingly, Sakura is the only female in the series outside of Tsunade with a main focus on Taijutsu.

Try to sound a little less sexist next time.

Okay listen clearly.
In my first post I said Naruto used sm solely for FRS/power measurement.

Naruto fights with jutsu and taijutsu. SM increases the power of both.

Against Juubito, noone has used anything but jutsu/ninja tools.


Has Sakura shown any jutsu other than basic ninja skills & healing? No.
Meaning she'll have to use taijutsu against Juubito, which obviously isn't a good idea.

Naruto & Sasuke almost died when they got inside melee range.

Second time, Juubito was transported directly onto a combined ninjutsu attack,
the only attack which seems like it could even touch him because of amaterasu not being able to be put out or w/e.



Main point? Fisticuffs is probably the worst idea ever. Sakura in sm would use fisticuffs as she hasn't shown any jutsu other than healing.


Now how is that sexist?

Last week's chapter seemed to be some kind of setup for the army getting ready to participate. Shikamaru was all telling everyone to get ready, it would be really lame now if now that a few pages were dedicated to telling everyone to wait for the right moment never led to anything. There was the one part where Hinata finally mastered her 64-palms tech, and after that she got out her twin lion fists and declared that she was going to use them together or something like that. But they haven't showed that actually happening. So that was even more set-up. Sakura is among those waiting for their chance to do their part.

It could either be some powerup or a really awesome combo strategy that Shikamaru comes up with. I'm anticipating that Shikamaru will lead some kind of strategy with Ino helping him deliver orders. He's like the new HQ, and Sakura will be included as some part of that. If she had a power-up, Shikamaru would have to think of a new strategy on the fly, he might be smart enough to do that.

I guess if people really need to believe there'll be some kind of Sakura awesomeness, then maybe she would wind up being some kind of key to whatever strategy they come up with. Just like Naruto was the key to that chakra-sharing strategy earlier.
