Sakura's feats in the Blank Period (and beyond) by Calesvol
Fandoms: Naruto, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
08 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
One of the most mysterious times is that between chapters 699 to 700 in the manga, and interlude known as the Blank Period. In order to shed some light on the highlights of Sakura during this time, I’ve decided to go through the novels during this time period and create these metas for easy reference, and will try to be in chronological order. (Covers the Naruto Hiden series, The Last: Naruto the Movie, Sasuke Shinden, and Naruto Retsuden trilogy.)

Sakura Haruno: Places to excel (meta) by Calesvol
Fandoms: Naruto, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
13 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
While power-up AU's like Slug Sage and Mokuton are popular choices for Sakura, there's also people who don't like them and would prefer that she expand on what she already knows. However, outside of her intelligence, chakra control, medical ninjutsu, and chakra-enhanced strength, it's not entirely apparent what else she knows. Through this meta, I explore what other abilities she has in canon materials that isn't extremely apparent in canon.

Summary
Although many people (especially Narusaku shippers) see Naruto as Earth and Sakura as Heaven, I believe it switches over time. Regardless, this meta explores this, or how it could be interchangeable between both.

While many people are mystified by the phenomenon with Sakura and shipping her with seemingly "random" dudes, in this meta, I delve into why at least four of these ships exist at all and their connection to canon's fondness for reincarnation cycles and parallelism.

Something I see sometimes is that Tsunade's ability to prevail over Madara's wood clones didn't count because wood clones were weaker than the original. This meta begs to differ.
