How fast is Sakura
There are a lot of misconceptions in the Naruto fandom and one of the most popular ones is that Sakura lax speed and only relies on her strength. This is however not true. In fact after the war arc Sakura train for 3 years and gained speed that rivaled 8 gates Guy.
I know this sounds absurd but please read this blog with an open mind before you dismiss the idea. The evidence I use will be from the light novel “Sakura Hiden”,
unfortunately the novel doesn’t have pictures, so I can only show you quotes from the novel to prove my points, and all the illustrations you see will be from the manga. Alright let’s get started.
It was stated by Lee that opening the eight gates multiplies your power by 100.
Sakura was fast enough to dodge attacks from a high ranking anbu member, named Kido, that took a drug that gave him a nine tailed version 2 cloak. You can tell that it’s a version 2 cloak because it gave him rock hard skin,
a monstrous appearance,
and allowed him to shoot biju bombs.
It was stated by Sai that two anbu members took the drug and grew one tailed version 1 cloaks that doubled their power.
If one tail doubled their power then each version 1 tail must increase your power by 100%. Since the man Sakura fought had nine tails that would increase his power by 10 times. However, he was wearing a nine tailed version 2 cloak. It was stated by Kisame that killer Bee’s seven tailed version 2 cloak was more than nine times more powerful than his seven tailed version 1 cloak,
let’s assume it was about 9.5 times more powerful. Since a nine tailed version 1 cloak multiplies your power by 10 and a nine tailed version 2 cloak is 9.5 times more powerful than that, that means that the elite jonin that Sakura fought had 95 times the power of his base form, which is only 5% less of a multiplier than the eight gates. Sakura was fast enough to dodge almost all of his attacks while she was drugged with an injection that was stated to numb the muscles and make chakra difficult to use. And we know that tailed beast chakra does increase speed, because three jinchuuriki in their version 2 forms were fast enough to land hits on KCM Naruto.
Well I hope this post convinced you that I’m not crazy, and that Sakura is much faster than these misconceptions would lead you to believe. If it didn’t convince you, then tell me what was wrong with my evidence so I can fix my mistakes, and If I did convince you, then let me know how fast you thought sakura was before you read this blog. I would like to hear from everyone.
