Her fingers are no longer interlaced like previously where she did mold chakra for healing people...

From the picture you provided there is no way to tell that the fingers are no longer interlaced. in the picture of her healing, the right hand is on top with the index and middle finger extended and ring bent at the mid knuckle. the left hand fingers are inside the palm of the right. From this picture there is nothing that looks like it has changed. all we see are the 2 extended fingers on the right hand and a partial finger covered by a bubble.

Im not saying its not possible. Im saying to me there is more evidence that she is still healing rather than trying to do something else.

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?
Everytime Sakura throws a punch or kick it's a chakra enhanced attack that is stronger than what Sasuke or even Naruto can put out according to the last Databooks. Kishi also made it pretty obvious with her wiping out 50+ juubi clones in a single attack that her abilities to use this have hit astronomical levels. Couple this with how she'd be almost invulnerable to damage due to her healing prowess and you have a pretty sustainable fighter.

SSM would be a logical extension to her abilities since it would buff her Taijutsu and, theoretically, her healing. Hence why people think it's on the horizon.


Just like i saw you guys few months ago saying kishi logic = no seal for sakura. I rule nothing out.
Haha. This is def true. "Oh Sakura will never get anything, she's useless." Lo and behold.

sakura won't get sage mode. and if she does, it will be much later as she has revealed a number of power-ups since the war started.

and that's if.

To be honest, I don't think she's worth that much focus or attention, especially at this point in the manga.
Sakura is a main character, not a secondary character. If by the chance she does use the sage mode, I don't think it will be in any of the upcoming chapters. Does any else think that she has a jutsu of her own that she will use eventually? I've always wondered what her talent in genjustsu would lead to if she lived up to the potential.

Not to be a negative nelly here, but I do think that slug sage mode is a bit of a stretch for her, well, at this point. With all the events happening right now, I simply don't think there will be enough time to reveal it.

This is an excellent point as well. This was brought up in Part 1 and once in Part 2 and never really went anywhere as ide from Sakura showing talent for dispelling/sensing genjutsu. Perhaps instead of using Genjutsu she's the Anti-Genjutsu or, taking this to it's logical extension, Anti-Uchiha.

I find that interesting.

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.

How can u even what she IS doing, u can only see half of the hand.

The picture show Sakura storing and redistributing Normal Chakra for healing. Operative word Normal Chakra all Sage Modes Gather Natural Energy that must be carefully balance and blended with Normal Chakra. Two totally different things.

You are right, thought sage mode would be good. I think she is more likely to have some form of genjutsu development based on foreshadowing. I also believe she will be more anti-genjutsu more than a genjutsu caster herself. As she has always been seen dispelling it.

Because of foreshadowing this is likely to show itself off if infinite genjutsu plan goes through.

No the only hand sign ever done was the ram, and in the pain arc tsunade stopped doing the handsign and went to go help fight, and while she was over there doing that stuff with naruto the healing continued, same as when she was cut in half she just used the ram and then katsuya funneled the power of her yin seal to heal the kages and her self.
I was bout to say the same thing.
I think you are wanting to much from Sakura as a character.
She is a secondary character. All be it one of the main ones but still a secondary character. That being said I highly doubt she will get sage mode.
Yes she problly could have the chakra controll needed even now that she's got the chakra symbol she finally has enough chakra to possibly go into sagemode but she is using a lot of chakra healing and I doubt she will have enough chakra left to enter sage mode since it does take a large amount of chakra to do so.
Also I really believe she never had the time or chance to learn it with trying to learn her medical ninjutsu and saving up chakra I doubt it would've been possible to do all 3 in the times shown or in the time skip.

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.
Are you aware that sakura's punch can pulveriZed the meteor fall of Madara?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're wrong. Sakura is a main character, always has been, and always will be. She is a member of the team 7 trio along with Naruto and Sasuke. While that being said.... if Sakura was to enter into Sage mode, then she would most likely, hell, will grab the chakra from her seal. The seal is a chakra bank, and yet we don't even know the requirements for the slug sage mode. I would like to believe that her medical ninjutsu training and her constant chakra saving did not take up all of her time. We were shown Tsunade training Sakura head-on, but we were not shown the entire training session. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of her having slug sage mode based on the silly claim that she is a secondary character and that we weren't shown it.

1. She is a secondary character. Her development stopped after the Sasori fight how long ago.. She is slightly more important than the rest of K11, but the Sannin trio/deadlock has been overshadowed by the elder-younger son struggle. Even if she was meant to be a main character, you cannot argue that she has gotten the same amount of spotlight as Naruto/Sasuke.

2. Sage chakra = physical + spiritual + nature energy. Not nature energy + chakra.

The yin seal can't help her attain a SSM if there is one, and if it does, Kishi will have
to change the rules about senjutsu, and seeing as frog sm and snake sm follow the same rules, I doubt it.

1. No, she is not. Sakura is a main character, as are the rest of Team 7. Her development has not stopped after the Sasori fight, it has progressed. Unless you've completed stopped reading the manga after the Sasori fight, then I can see why you have come to such a conclusion. I really hope you're not one of those people who think; "No fighting? No development."

Also, I would like to point out that the Konoha 11 themselves are secondary characters; they support the main character. You're right about her not receiving the same panel time as Naruto and Sasuke, but that is a different situation. Naruto is the main protagonist of the series and Sasuke follows in second in line of importance.

2. I too do doubt that she even has the slug sage mode, if there even is one for a fact. Although, isn't it possible for Sakura to learn senjutsu? I haven't studied this enough to know for sure, but to learn how to become a sage, don't you have to travel to a the location of the teacher (Ex. Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, or in Sakura's case, Shikkotsurin) to learn from them? I'm sure that the current Sage's have learned how to become a sage at these locations. Not only that, but it has been confirmed that Sakura can summon the slugs. The entire "Slug sage mode" concept is a bit of a stretch to me, honestly.

How has she developed as a character? If anything the Sasori fight showcased her growth since part 1, but other than that in what ways has she grown? Trying to trick Naruto into breaking his promise? Trying to handle Sasuke on her own instead of letting K11 help? That isn't positive growth. It's childlike behavior.

When team 7 reunited she went backwards into her part 1 self, choking at the last minute and putting herself at risk.

Her resolve to make Naruto & Sasuke look at her back was all well and all, but what did she that was impressive other than beat up some fodders and need to be rescued for the 20173281037th time...........


She is definitely not a main character anymore, and that's because Kishi put her at the sidelines for so long her importance has been diminished. Your argument is with the manga, not me..

& she can learn senjutsu if she has the chakra pool for it. Hashirama, Jiraya, Naruto, and Kabuto (With uzumaki dna) were able to learn it. Oro couldn't and I doubt Sakura could. But the yin seal can't help her get it in any way shape or form, and most people don't understand that.

She's just a normal person with no special traits. I doubt she has the body or chakra to handle Sage Mode.
A normal person with no special traits? Since the beginning it has been shown that she has much better chakra control than many can ever hope to achieve....after she trained with Tsunade her talent was starting to show. She is the strongest medical ninja alive besides Tsunade, and there have even been hints that she will be surpassing, or already has surpassed Tsunade.


I don't see a lot of ordinary ninja doing that. I wouldn't completely rule out Sakura getting SM, but I just don't see how. I guess since she has the summon now, it's possible, but so far I haven't seen enough evidence to convince me she's for sure getting it. However, I wouldn't rule it out as impossible and say she has no special traits. She's far from an ordinary ninja. Tsunade a senju/uzumaki, her bloodline is powerful and she herself is, and sakura is about on par with her right now...
