Tsunami // Sakura Haruno

☒ Starting Memory: Naruto and Sakura vs Kakashi; getting the bells for the second time. (From here to here with the sound off).

She will remember Naruto (and Kakashi) on sight, as well as recognize that she (and the other boy) are apparently supposed to be really good at fighting. With enough time to extrapolate she will probably realize they are ninja, since she will have a basic understanding of how her world works.

( SKILL REGISTRY )

Significant Positive: Confessing to Sasuke (my forehead is the only thing above average...) (v01c003p15-19)
Three of Three's Elevator Game // Day 146, afternoon
Form: gold coins with a smiling woman's face on one side, a frowning face on the other; flip to view.
Shareable: yes; 8/8

Summary:( but really )

Effects: ( facehands forever )

( oops animated gifs mildly obnoxious on the network )

Trivial Positive: Being on Team Seven was fun! (gif-set source)
Game 107 // Day 135, afternoon
Form: a small flip-animation book with a little cartoon monster. Flip through the pages quickly to see the monster run and make comedically scary faces!
Shareable: yes; infinite

Summary: So as part of a later signeg Sakura tells Sasuke that being on team seven was fun -- however, due to like...pacing and interesting story telling, we don't really get to see team seven do... a lot of stuff together, silly d-rank mission stuff, learning to be a team &c &c &c. It's basically just like BAM Land of Waves arc BAM Chuunin exams, which is where the plot really ramps up.

But clearly there must have been something there? Which is why this is mostly a headcanon memory and now I am going to spam fanart (and some canon art)

Effects: ( +a zillionty team seven dere )

Significant Negative: getting between Chidori and Rasengan (pg 2-9)
(Loser) Game 102 // Day 131, morning
Form: Turquoise colored box, open to view
Shareable: yes; infinite

Summary: Sasuke and Naruto are fighting on the hospital roof, while Sakura watches them from the stairwell door. The fight gets more and more heated and angry, until they both bring out their most powerful attacks; Sakura rushes out to put herself between them, ordering them to stand down. Both boys panic because physics has decided to work today, and neither of them can stop their current trajectory, even with Sakura right in their path.

PS yesterday was Sakura's birthday, apparently. Tanjoubi omedeto~ Sakura~

Significant Neutral: Med-nin training (headcanon)
Game 96 // Day 123, morning
Form: copper bracelets. Four uses
Shareable: 1/4
-self
-Sasuke
-Mau

Summary: While Naruto was learning how to punch really effectively with Jiraya and Sasuke was off learning to disdain things out of existance, Sakura spent her three years being Tsunade's apprentice; this memory is mostly focussed on the medical skills side of that, but there was a lot of focus on chakra control woven into that that is applicable to pretty much all her other ninja skills. Given the glimpses of the hospitals and operating rooms we get to see in canon, I assume this was very much like being on rotation for med school for three years, with some handwavey chakra ninja ninja thrown in. Lots of studying, lots of patient contact, lots of hands-on learning the ways of the human body and how to fix it when it breaks.

Summary:
Naruto has transformed/is doing the nine-tails cloak thing -- all that crazy black scratch artwork is supposed to evoke the fact that all of his skin has burned or flaked off, leaving that underneath. He is not conscious at the moment; just a very angry, very powerful monster. Kabuto remarks that Naruto must have wanted to save Sasuke so badly that he was willing to end up like that ('What a sad kid...'). Sakura thinks of the promises she made Naruto make about bringing Sasuke back, then rushes him, saying that it's okay, she'll save Sasuke for him, so that's enough--! Naruto attacks her and the memory ends.

Effects:
>>
>>...
>> ffffffffff
>> Okay no but seriously, how much guilt can Sakura carry inside her body, because that is how much she has right now. She doesn't fully understand, because she doesn't have the context/full memories for those promises, but she is aware that she is responsible for Naruto pushing himself so hard that he apparently became a monster. She is going to spend a lot of time being sort of miserable and guilt ridden and full of shame that apparently she wasn't enough help to prevent that happening to Naruto.
>> Also apparently they really fucking care about Sasuke. Sakura now has sort of ++desperate need to protect Sasuke from unknown something or other, and is also very sure that Naruto feels the same way.
>> ++guilt
>> ++desperation; must be stronger better faster &c &c &c
>> ++sad

( I actually had more I wanted to say about this. A lot of tldr here and spoilers for shippuden stuff )

And then I rambled forever about canon and also blah blah Sasuke blah Sasuke I guess. I have also used up a year's supply of S, A, K and U.

no serious write up for omake-memory :B

Skill // Mundane: high evasion.
Skill Game #12 // Day 101, late morning
Form: a chocolate puzzle piece

What it is: Okay, I had to think about this one for a bit, because I could not remember why I had put it as a separate skill on her registry. But I am fairly certain it's because that, while all ninja are agile and quick, Sakura has been specifically trained in avoiding attacks no matter what. She may not have the highest speed, but she will now be able to analyze her surroundings and keep focused enough to be more dodgy.

Significant Positive: Offering herself to Chiyo as a puppet to fight against Sasori. (9 pages, starting here or youtube)

Okay, so obviously there's some omniscient narration technique going on here I can't use -- Sakura isn't going to be privy to Naruto's inner monolouge and such, but it doesn't make a lot of difference to the scene.

Also of note is that Sakura/Sasuke/Naruto are all about 12 here (as opposed to current ages of 15/16)
