History Characters / NarutoSakuraHaruno

** When it comes to Hinata, she exhibits a strong sense of protection and care. However, her demeanor towards Hinata is noticeably tenderer as compared to her behavior with Naruto.

** She is also this for Hinata as well, but is far gentler with her than with Naruto.

* HairTriggerTemper: At times, especially in the anime, it can be nearly impossible for someone to tell what can cause her to go ballistic and send her into a dangerous rage, especially and unfortunately for Naruto.

->''I've always considered myself to be a true ninja… but those were just empty words, because Sasuke and Naruto were always in the lead! [[LetsGetDangerous But now it's my turn to take the lead, and all of you can watch me from the background]]!''

* ForYourOwnGood: Sakura seems to be a firm believer of this (along with ToughLove) when concerning others, ''especially'' Naruto. She tends to believe that only she knows right from wrong to the point of patronizingly blocking others out. When it combines with her GuiltComplex, it has led to disastrous results.

* NotHelpingYourCase: To an almost tragicomic level on the first chapter of ''Manga/NarutoGaiden''. [[spoiler:When her daughter asks if Sasuke ever needed glasses, she don't know. She then tries to hide Sasuke's betrayal of the village by saying that "he was away a lot when he was younger." As Sarada's doubt increases and she even asks if Sakura is really Sasuke's wife, Sakura breaks in a fit of rage. A fit of rage so big that breaks the ground and destroys her own house. Naturally, a lot of things inside the house fall off and break. One of them is a portrait of Sasuke and Sakura. The problem is, it's a montage, and Sarada discovers that there was a photo of Taka (except Jugo) hidden behind the frame. The chapter ends with Sarada looking at the figure of Karin, probably beginning to doubt even if Sakura is her real mother]].

* InformedFlaw: When she faints after [[ItMakesSenseInContext destroying her (and Sarada's) own house]]. Shizune then says that Sakura "used to faint often when she was younger", while we have only seen her faint ''twice'' in all the manga, [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten both during the test to become Kakashi's trainee]].

* ACupAngst: Has a rather small chest and shows irritation about that on fillers.

* FatalFlaw: Sakura tends to be an example of how much being one of the most humanized characters in a intense world of ninjas can really suck.
** Thanks to her intelligence, there are times she can be very imposing and patronizing, even after her CharacterDevelopment. Not so bad unless that is combined that with her stubbornness, temper, passive-aggression, and selective hearing tendencies, then she can be rather off-putting at times, which can lead to...
** Her immense sense of guilt from being more in touch with her feelings, but not having the same control, causes her to make rash actions and decisions with tunnel vision. She is especially sensitive and emotional when it comes to [[LikeBrotherAndSister Naruto]] and [[SingleTargetSexuality Sasuke]], to the point where it also causes her to be stubbornly reluctant to share certain information, which can be why Kakashi isn't always willing to share certain info with her at times.

** In the movies and a few filler arcs, Sakura is shown to be more competent in battle, fighting and defeating one of the members of the {{QuirkyMiniBossSquad}} on her own.

* AngerBornOfWorry: Towards Naruto. No matter how skilled he becomes, she always has serious concerns about his safety during combat situations, especially when she punches him after coming back from his battle with Pain for making them all worry, then catches him in a surprise hug, which is meant to highlight the development in their relationship up until now. Though justified: as the jinchuuriki of the Nine Tails, Naruto has more enemies (some ridiculously powerful) than your average shinobi.

** Beginning from the Chuunin exams arc when Sakura vows to be kinder to Naruto (and even before then, such as defending Naruto from Sasuke's criticisms), she displays a protectiveness of [[LikeBrotherAndSister Naruto]], sometimes to the point of over-protectiveness, especially when it comes to [[SingleTargetSexuality Sasuke]]. This would include [[LockedOutOfTheLoop not telling Naruto that it was him, not Orochimaru, who destroyed the bridge and injured her in his Four-tails Mode]] out of her attempt to spare him the pain of guilt. When she learns from Sai [[BrutalHonesty in a rather blunt fashion]], that [[JerkassHasAPoint from his point of view]] she (out of his feelings for her) and Sasuke keep making Naruto suffer, she resorts to [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim lying about having feelings for him now instead of Sasuke]]and Shortly afterward when she tries to kill Sasuke by herself in order to spare Naruto or anyone else from shouldering the burden. Not to mention her resolve of wanting to become stronger (and later, a more competent healer) so that she can protect both Naruto and Sasuke and not have to choose which one to save.

* CommonalityConnection: Her's and Naruto's shared bond with Sasuke is one of the main reasons she and Naruto develop a [[FireForgedFriends strong]] [[TrueCompanions friendship]] over the course of the series.

The girl of Team 7. For most of the series Naruto [[DoggedNiceGuy has a comical unrequited crush on her]], but she acts dismissive towards him while she's in love with Sasuke; However, over the course of the series she grows to appreciate and care for Naruto [[FireForgedFriends as a friend]] [[TrueCompanions and teammate]] in great part due to their shared bond with Sasuke. She would eventually become Sasuke Uchiha's wife and the mother of Sarada Uchiha in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}''. Sakura herself is an intelligent, gifted ''kunoichi'' from Konoha. Unlike most other ninja in the series, she has no unique skills of her own, using only standard ninja techniques and her brains. As a result, during Part I, she mostly sits on the sidelines standing guard over someone. After failing to prevent her only love, Sasuke's defection, and seeing a badly injured Naruto in the hospital, she concludes that she can't leave things like this, and apprentices herself to Princess Tsunade with the intent of no longer being a burden and help bringing Sasuke back.

** Sakura Haruno also shares a lot of similarity with Rin Nohara, Mikoto Uchiha, Mebuki Haruno and other characters. It can be said that Sakura Haruno is a "normal" girl in the story.

** Sakura Haruno also shares a lot of similarity with Rin Nohara, Mikoto Uchiha, Mebuki Haruno and among other characters.

* GirlyBruiser: A socially conscious fangirl who is loud and abrasive. It starts out as her "Inner Sakura" side in Part I.
* GoodIsNotNice: She is a good person and does have good intentions, but at times she can be a really nasty grump, ''especially'' towards Naruto.

* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Seriously, as others, especially Naruto, have learned the hard way, getting her worked up can be disastrous.

* {{Squee}}: During Team 7's introduction to Kakashi, when asked about the things she likes, she squees [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan while looking at Sasuke]].

* MyGreatestFailure: How she felt towards being unable to stop Sasuke from turning his back on the village, especially after Shikamaru refused to let her come along on the mission to retrieve him. Also how she felt when healing Naruto, after his match with Orochimaru.

* PluckyGirl: See her fights vs Ino (where she deliberately pressed Ino's BerserkButton angers Ino to avoid getting sympathy and broke Ino's Mind Switch Jutsu, albeit with a little help from Naruto's cheering) and Sasori (where she got serious injuries ''and kept fighting anyway'').

* FriendToAllChildren: Sakura has shown a soft spot for children. ''[[LightNovel/NarutoHiden Sakura Hiden]]'' has her setting up a clinic for children after the Fourth Shinobi World War.

* MoralityPet: To Sasuke. This was constantly [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] throughout the series, because his desire for revenge and powers was more important than her feelings. However, it was finally played straight at the end; it was first shown by [[HeelFaceTurn his genuine apology to her for his selfishness]]. Later, in ''[[LightNovel/SakuraHidenThoughtsOfLoveRidingUponASpringBreeze Sakura Hiden]]'', Konoha manages to contact Sasuke and request his assistance to help against an enemy who wants to attack Konoha, but he turns them down, as he believes it does not concern him. However, once he finds out that the enemies have captured Sakura, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther he immediately rushes home]].

* BerserkButton: She tends to have great amount of them, typical of a {{Tsundere}}: ''Never'' diss her forehead or call her ugly, and Naruto shouldn't lie about [[LikeBrotherAndSister their platonic relationship]] while she's trying to heal him, even if, in retrospect, he was put on the spot and didn't actually know how to answer. Nor should he (or anyone else for that matter) underestimate her.

* BareYourMidriff: In the third movie, explained as being "summer attire" (Naruto and Lee also had slightly different outfits).

* PluckyGirl: See her fights vs Ino (where she deliberately angers Ino to avoid getting sympathy and broke Ino's Mind Switch Jutsu, albeit with a little help from Naruto's cheering) and Sasori (where she got serious injuries ''and kept fighting anyway'').

* DoubleThink: During her Fake confession to Naruto, when she talks negatively about Sasuke and the promise between herself and Naruto, her tone implies that she is trying to force herself to believe what she is saying when, in reality, she is still very much in love with Sasuke, which Naruto notices.
