Sakura grew into a powerful ninja, helped Team 7 face threats from Zabuza, Orochimaru, and the Sound Four, and later survived a deadly fight with Kakuzu and Hidan. After reuniting with Naruto and Sasuke on Team 7 and preparing for Orochimaru’s attack, she began her Chunin Exam final match against Naruto, with both using their new techniques.
Sakura became a Chunin, developed her Ice Release and medical skills, helped establish Kazahana Koyuki’s rule, and joined Anbu after Team 7 disbanded. She later rescued Sasuke from Kimimaro, but they disagreed about Team 7’s future.
Sakura pursued forbidden cloning research, established a laboratory in the Land of Snow, and prepared a new heart for Yugao. She later fought Sasori and Deidara at Tenchi Bridge, where Naruto was left unconscious and bleeding and Sakura caught Deidara’s real body with her silver thread.
After returning from the past, Sakura became a Jonin and led her students through missions that brought Konoha into closer alliance with Kirigakure and exposed Akatsuki’s plans for the Tailed Beasts. The volume ended with Sakura and Sasuke heading to Takigakure as the Takikage discovered that Fū had left the village.
Sakura confronted Akatsuki, exposed and defeated Danzo, and trained to master Sage Mode while Naruto and Sasuke faced conflicts of their own. After traveling with Sasuke to another world, she killed Danzo there and refused to give Obito Shisui’s remaining eye unless he traded his life for it.
Sakura Haruno returned from another world, faced betrayal and illusion, and reunited with Naruto and Sasuke as Team 7 prepared to fight Akatsuki. The volume ended with Sakura fighting Pain at sea, pulled toward the Deva Path as he approached with a black rod.
No recap yet. A volume gets one once it has 100 chapters.
