* RememberThatYouTrustMe: Kakashi isn't very good with emotional conversations, so when Sakura needs a dose of this, he creates a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming by [[spoiler: removing his mask]].

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Sakura is jealous of Ino, who gets to be a relatively normal chuunin while Sakura runs around dealing with conspiracies and learning horrifying jutsu. Nothing is stopping her from stepping back and becoming a hospital medic; however, the idea of staying off the front lines [[SoldiersAtTheRear feels like cowardice to her]]. This is due to her own issues and, possibly, the influence of Gozen, who hates the stereotype of women being healers and [[spoiler: very much wants to pass on the legacy of the Second Hokage's black ops team]].

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The view retired ANBU have towards today's Konoha, and [[spoiler: the reason why Gozen decides to shape Sakura into a weapon for the village.]]

The story explores the military side of village life, and Sakura's drive to become an elite soldier so that she won't die in the field.

* BlessedWithSuck: Sakura's view of the Sharingan. Jiraiya isn't too keen on the Manjekyo either.

* AgentsDating: Sakura and [[spoiler: Itachi]] go on a fake date to steal supplies, and Sakura jokingly floats the idea of pretending that he's her secret boyfriend in order to explain her absences from the village. Their mission also seems to [[ShipTease involve a lot of domestic downtime in an idyllic cabin]].

** Employed by non-clan ninja during the Second Wars. Sakura uses this to improve her eyesight, but worries that further interventions might lead to her going full Orochimaru.

* HouseHusband: [[spoiler: Itachi learned to cook from his mother, who was apparently Ninja Martha Stewart. Even missing-nin need a hobby.]]

** Sakura and her [[spoiler: cat.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Sakura is constantly struggling not to give one of these to Naruto after the timeskip. She can't stand that he feels entitled to go on high-level missions even though he has no field experience, and that he's disrespectful towards their commanding officer, Tsunade.
** [[spoiler: Sakura to Itachi, once she is confident that he won't gut her for suggesting that giving his eyes to an emotionally unstable Sasuke is a really stupid plan.]]

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The view retired ANBU have towards today's Konoha, and [[spoiler: the reason why Gozen decides to shape Sakura into a weapon for the village.]]

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Sakura is jealous of Ino, who gets to be a relatively normal teenage chuunin while Sakura runs around dealing with conspiracies and learning horrifying jutsu. Yet she never seriously considers stepping back from her insane training regimen and entering the medic program. The idea of staying off the front lines [[SoldiersAtTheRear feels like cowardice to her]], possibly due to Gozen's influence.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Sakura is jealous of Ino, who gets to be a relatively normal teenage chuunin while Sakura runs around dealing with conspiracies and learning horrifying jutsu. Yet she never seriously considers entering the medic program. Her time with [[CynicalMentor Gozen]] has influenced her to think that being a healer would be cowardice, when she has the potential to fight on the front lines for her village.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Sakura is jealous of Ino, who gets to be a relatively normal teenage chuunin while Sakura runs around dealing with conspiracies and skinning corpses to steal jutsu. But she's not so jealous that she'd step back from the front lines and become a medic like in canon. Arguably, her time with [[CynicalMentor Gozen]] has brainwashed her into thinking that being anything other than a solider would be cowardice.

** Employed by non-clan ninja during the Third War. Sakura uses this to improve her eyesight, but worries that further interventions might lead to her going full Orochimaru.

* BlessedWithSuck: Sakura's view of the Sharingan.

* CovertPervert: Sakura picks up Kakashi-like reading habits with focus on reverse harems, bondage, and femdom. Unlike Kakashi, she at least tries to disguise her reading material in public.
* CynicalMentor: Sakura's [[spoiler: genjutsu teacher, Gozen, a retired ANBU from the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen. She has a low opinion of the Uchiha, the Fourth Hokage, kids these days, and the idea of some punk making a name off of her jutsu.]]

** [[spoiler: Sakura to Itachi, once she is confident that he won't murder her for suggesting that giving his eyes to an emotionally unstable Sasuke is a really stupid plan.]]

** Sakura's basic physical training, which involves being chased around by Kakashi's ninja dogs all day.

* BioAugmentation: Employed by non-clan ninja during the Third War. Sakura uses this to improve her eyesight, but worries that further interventions might lead to her going full Orochimaru.
* BlessedWithSuck: Sakura's view of the Sharingan.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Subverted by Sakura, who (as in canon) is basically the only major female character that isn't affiliated with a famous family.

** Sakura is constantly struggling not to give one of these to Naruto after the timeskip. [[spoiler: She can't stand that he feels entitled to go on high-level missions even though he has no field experience, and that he's disrespectful towards their commanding officer, Tsunade.]]

* BioAugumentation: Employed by non-clan ninja during the Third War. Sakura uses this to improve her eyesight, but worries that further interventions might lead to her going full Orochimaru.

* BlessedWithSuck: Sakura's view of the Sharingan.

* CynicalMentor: [[spoiler: Sakura's genjutsu teacher, a retired ANBU from the same generation as Sarutobi Hiruzen. She has a low opinion of the Uchiha, the Fourth Hokage, ninja these days, and the idea of some kid making a name off of her jutsu.]]

** Eventually Kakashi stops being Sakura's sensei and starts being an eccentric older brother figure. He's much better at the latter than the former.

* HouseHusband: [[spoiler: Itachi learned to cook from his mother, who was apparently Ninja Martha Stewart.]]

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Subverted by Sakura.

* SelfSurgery: A clumsy, stopgap version of this helps Sakura to survive being impaled by Sasori.

** Sakura's basic physical training, which involves being chased around by Kakashi's dogs all day.

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The view retired ANBU have towards today's Konoha, and [[spoiler: the reason why Sakura's ex-ANBU genjutsu teacher decides to shape her into a weapon for the village.]]
