well researched and thought out never really thought about a connection btw hashi and sakura but i see where your coming from. it would be nice to see some development for sakura, it seems she has been kind of forgotten about.
Comparing Hasirama and Sakura's character and saying they are similar
I don't think this holds as much value as you have stated because there is a distinction I've found between Hashirama sulking and Sakura crying. When Hashi sulks, he has done it to gain sympathy/reaction from Madara in order to grow a bond and from this week's chapter, he also sulked in order to gain an advantage over Madara (in their race). This as opposed to Sakura who cries because she cannot contribute anything to the situation.
Second, similar drawings could be as what you have presented or it could be standard drawings Kishi does. For example, you showed Naruto, Yahiko, Obito, well I have one more

That symbol is quite interesting (the most interesting part of your thread) but unlike you I failed to see how this shows Sakura will show us something later on. That symbol is linked to Hashi's mokuton and last time I checked Sakura isn't Senju nore does she or will she ever possess Mokuton unless Kishi just decides "Hey f*ck it". Also there is no way you could know she is the only one of the newest generation to know about Mokuton.
I wanna add but I don't have your dedication so I will finish by saying my biggest problem is there is no time for her in the manga. I'm pretty sure this is the last arc and the characters who will have the biggest roles are the edo's remaining, Sasukes gang , Naruto and Obito. The only ones she can have any influence over is Naruto and Sasuke and that will almost certainly be through some emotional baggage.
But hey, hopefully you're right and the manga can end with people saying "wow, Sakura rocked"
good argument, however the series is ending, and Kishi did state Sakura to show the human side of the story. To give her a power up would go against what kishi states. Sakura surpassing tsunade? thats a give and will easily happen, but anything more than that? I don't see that.

sorry still very good points and keep observations
Seems too late for me to reply but i'll do it anyway.Some of the things you mentioned is kind of a desperate attempt to cling to information.I've seem that dot circle pattern on Naruto but that doesn't mean he'll be a direct descendant of Hashirama himself.
Good points, You probably have it right on with that bulls-eye design, but i feel like you pulled that whole forehead and insecurity thing out of nothing. It made no sense, and i don't think hashirama was insecure, half the time he was really just trying to catch Madara in a joke .

I don't think he is expecting a miracle with her, she is good and all i want to see is her surpass Tsunade because if she does that makes her at least a character worth of a bit more recognition than people give her i don't expect mokuton, heck maybe the sign on her clothing and her parents are hashi brand clothing hehe
Her power up being based on something like a connection won't please me i like that she worked hard in the past to get to where she is so i would like to see that continued and no this is not going against my last comment about not minding Tsunade giving her the seal before dying because even though she gets it she still has to be able to use it properly at least i think, but her getting that wouldnt make her surpass Tsunade it would just make her the same so i would hope she already has a power up if the whole manga is ending thing is a factor
I dont know why people keep saying the symbol would be connected to the Mokuton, it is not!
Hashirama reached sennin mode just like naruto, jiraya and Kabuto did. Obviously all of them got markings on their face or even horns in Kabutos case. Now the markings seem to be different for each contract, so obviously you would get thos strange frog-eyes if you would sign the frog-contract and achieve senninmode - like Naruto did. You would get horns and stuff if you sign the dragon-contract and achieve senninmode - like Kabuto did. Now we dont know what kind of contract Hashirama signed and thus we dont know what kind of sennin he is, all we know is, that his senninmode gives him this specific pattern on his forehead.
My guess would be, that Sakura will sign the same contract in the future and maybe achieve sennin mode (maybe). We havent seen her using a summoning jutsu thus far as well (if I'm correct with this one), so this might be intentionell (if I were Tsunade, I would have teached her to summon Katsuja, why didnt she?)...
But I think her and Hashirama beeing related by blood is a bit too far-fetched in my eyes.
But its a nice find anyways!
Sad you wrote all of this for no reason. Sakura is not important to the storyline anymore. Hell.. He had to kill Neji just to give to Hinata character development.
Nice thread and nice research you obviously put a lot of effort to it, however I could not agree with these assumptions. Why? 1. First and foremost there are no reason for Sakura's relationship with Hashirama or Tsunade be a secret.
2. Tsunade is the grand daughter of the first Hokage, if she is related to Sakura then it will be reveal the first time Sakura appeared in the manga or when Tsunade met her. Every main character relations is reveal in Manga during character/plot development not in the climax/conclusion/end part.
3. No further upgrade is needed since the current war arc is a Dragonball Z fight style. Even if Sakura got an upgrade it would be meaningless, she should have a power of a tailed beast to matter. 4. Too many powerful character are involve in the current plot and another power upgrade for an annoying character is pointless. It is pointless to focus a story on Sakura when we are talking great Hokages and Jinchuuriki in an epic battle.
5. Manga's drawings, what can I say, its difficult to draw hundreds of character that will not resemble or be similar with other characters. e.g. Hunter X Hunter - Ghost Fighter different Manga how much more in one manga story with so many characters (As far as I know Naruto Manga contains the most number of character in a manga) So design and style would probably mixed up.
There so much more I can say but its just an opinion no facts nor basis. Anyway nice thread though.
If you remember, Naruto had no one we knew that were related to him. But when we get into Part 2 we learn more of it. And besides before it was revealed that the Fourth Hokage Naruto's dad was Minato, we could see that they looked a lot alike. They knew Tsunade was Hashi's granddaughter because Hashi was ALIVE back then. They had to keep Minato's surname so people wouldn't know Naruto was his son.
If this war was about Jinchuurikis and *cough* *cough* Hokages, then why are Senjus and Uchihas so important? Anyway as I said before about the relative thing, the reason why it hasn't been given to us that Sakura could be related to Hashi is probably because we didn't know anything about Hashi yet.
Examples:
-When Obito turned out to be the guy behind the mask, there were a lot of hints that gave it away that it was him. Like his hair. The fact that the left side of his face was scarred.
-Some characters with red hair were known to be Uzumakis. This was revealed not a very long time ago.
All these character symbolisms turned out to be true. So it is likely to happen that Sakura is to be related to Hashi.
Lol, I saw my theory on Tumblr as well. It's nice to see people are interested in it. ^_^
Thanks, anyway.
Exactly my point. As I was already discussing with Melanee, I have seen more similarities in their friendship with Ino and Sakura rather than with Naruto and Sasuke.
I plan on updating the thread after I'll finish responding everyone, so that people will see from where I'm coming.
I know her birthday is coming...but dunno if we'll see something. Meh, who knows?
We shall wait and see.
As for the pairing stuff, I'd rather not go there.
I want to keep it clean of those things. ^^'
pft... whatever i guess no one cares about what will happen when sasusaku have babies except me and other believers. I won't stop denying it though! U_U
And guess what I found on google images:

Same symbol Now here's my theory if Sakura were somehow related to Hashi
Okay I doubt she's anything like a granddaughter to Hashi cause we all know she really isn't. I might be over exaggerating a little but what if Sakura was relatively related to Tobirama? And here's why I think that.
[*Tobirama has white hair]
-This might seem silly but it actually is something connected to what I am saying. What I'm saying is: Sakura's family has a variety of different hair colors and styles. In real life, it is possible for cherry blossoms to have different colors like white, pink, yellow, green, and more! But the color could later change. White could become pink. While hot pink could become pale pink. Just like Sakura's father who had hot pink hair.
Plus! Among Hashi,Tobirama, and Itama they both had different colored hair and styles. So it could be a similar trait to the Haruno.
[*][Tobirama's Facial Markings]
Now look back at the picture from before. Do you see the lines sticking out? Doesn't Tobirama have something like that too?

Here's another picture of Sakura's symbol in the middle of flowers

(Just use this one for now.)
The symbols in the middle are of course different from Sakura's but look at the shape. If you put it upside down it would shape Tobirama's head. The lines would be on the inside but that doesn't mean the lines aren't there.
That's all I have for that but I think this makes sense. As much as we know of Tobirama, we aren't sure if he actually had a wife. But if this is correct,
[*]a).[Hashi's and Tobirama's mother could have been a Haruno. That's why the children had different color hair(Tobirama's looks could have come from HER side of the family.)]
[*]b).[Tobirama's wife could have been a Haruno]
[*]c).[Or both].
The reason why now Sakura isn't called a Senju might be the same as why Naruto wasn't called a Namikaze. Because maybe no one wanted the child to be known as a relative of the Hokage. As I said above, the reason why it is only mention that Tsunade is Hashi's granddaughter because he was alive when she was born. And Tobirama wasn't probably alive by the time his supposed wife had his child. Same goes for Minato.
Hoped this was interesting to you Chatte .
I forgot about the foreshadowing stuff. But oh well.
Well, that escalated quickly... They share some traits and a symbol, so she's getting a power up? No, I've never seen Kishi do this type of foreshadowing and it wouldn't make any sense. Hashirama's recent development has nothing to do with Sakura. -_-
