Changing Fate Design: Sakura Haruno (8th Hokage)

THIS SAKURA HARUNO IS ONLY FOR THE “CHANGING FATE” SERIES. IT IS NOT OFFICIAL MATERIAL AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE MANGA OR ANIME.

Remember when I mentioned Badass Sakura would come into play in the story? Well, here she is in all her glory!


This magnificent image of Sakura Haruno was drawn by the super awesome (I asked her and I was given permission to upload it.) I thank you for doing this awesome work as a commission for me!

And the outfit design was 100% thought out by yours truly,



Well, let's get down to how this Sakura came to be, shall we?


As you can see here, this is Sakura Haruno in the future or Team NMS' timeline. She is the 8th Hokage and the second female in history to obtain the title. She was also apart of the Jisedai Densetsu no Sannin with Naruto and Sasuke. On that day of the tragedy, she received wounds that would never heal. She had lost her family and her second family, Team 7, her friends, and her Will of Fire as well. She was appointed the position of being the Hokage by Shikamaru five years after the death of Kakashi Hatake. Sakura had refused the title at first, because she didn't feel like she could take the place of her dearest sensei. Those memories kept her from moving forward and she still blamed herself for not being to save the two men that she loved dearly and it was at that time that she questioned her purpose for being a shinobi. But she had realized that she had a new reason to live: to protect the next generation and her god children, Nariko and Miyuki. After a long six months of contemplating it, she finally took the job and became the 8th Hokage.


PERSONALITY

Sakura had grown a lot over the years and if anything, her personality got worse. She doesn't pull her punches anymore, not even to Sasuke Uchiha, the man she once loved. There was even a point where she even called him a “heartless bastard” when he was being cruel to people. After the tragedy, Sakura has become cold and merciless to her enemies and eradicate them on the spot when and if possible. Despite her disposition, she still has a soft spot for children in general, and her own children and god-children.


ABILITIES

When she reached the age of 18, Sakura had undergo training in Namekugi Forest in order to become a sage. Sakura's strength and abilities have also grown to new heights as she discovers she has an affinity for Earth Release. She can create craters with single blows, lift massive rocks with her chakra enhanced strength, and even use gravitational force to use rocks from the ground and use as projectile weapons. Her medical ninjutsu abilities have also increased and she also uses “Chakra Scalpel” in order to incapacitate her opponents without killing them.


Too bad the real Sakura won't come even close to this. I want her to be a badass again...
