Sarada Uchiha

Sarada Uchiha is a kunoichi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and a member of Team Konohamaru. Growing up without her father around, Sarada spent her life being curious about what kind of person he was, whether or not he cared for her and her mother - and for a time, questioning her own identity, until she was finally able to meet him and affirm that she had a loving family. During this journey, she became acquainted with Naruto Uzumaki - which ultimately led her to inherit his dream of becoming the Hokage. Sarada was born to Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha. Since Sakura refused to leave Sasuke's side during his journey, even while she was pregnant, Sarada was born in one of Orochimaru's hideouts with Karin's help as a midwife. As such, no records of her birth were available at the Konoha Hospital. She grew up in Konoha predominantly with just her mother, due to her father leaving on a long-term mission to search for the threat that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was preparing for, although Sarada recalled her father holding her hand with her mother when she was a toddler, which hinted that he was part of her life for the first couple of years before leaving for his mission.


At some point, Sarada became ill and afterwards, began wearing glasses. Due to her father's absence, Sarada frequently questioned where her father was, as well as her own identity. Sarada's personality is derived from both her parents. Furthermore, Naruto Uzumaki noted that her mannerisms were those of her mother. While she is friendly, sociable, and polite, she has a fierce temper similar to her mother's, and doesn't back down from an argument; she has also inherited Sakura's verbal tic, "Shannarō!". Like her father, she keeps an aloof and calm demeanour, unless she is provoked. Sarada has a close attachment to her parents, whom she affectionately calls "Papa" and "Mama", despite being apart from her father for many years. Unlike her parents in their childhood, Sarada is never overconfident nor obsessed with boys, but modest and treats her classmates nicely, especially her friends Chōchō Akimichi and Boruto Uzumaki. Despite Sarada often bickering with Boruto and her rivalry with him, they are close friends and she cares about him greatly. Sarada even went as far as to encourage her father to make Boruto his student after she witnessed how much effort he put in to trying to learn the Rasengan. When Sasuke finally did decide to accept Boruto as his student, Sarada became excited on Boruto's behalf. After he apprised her that he would protect her when she become the Hokage, Sarada blushed deeply and continued to do so while staring at him in amazement at the same time when he said that he wanted to become a ninja just like her father. Sarada is also a curious child; regardless of finding Boruto annoying, she tails him around the village, observing him. She comes to the conclusion that they indeed have something in common (both of them want to spend more time with their fathers). Sarada also has great respect for Naruto, and it was due to her admiration for him that she made it her goal to become Hokage. Sarada has a fair skin complexion, and inherited the onyx hair and eyes of the Uchiha from her father. She has straight shoulder-length hair that parts on the right side of her forehead while tucked behind her ear on the right, framing the left side of her face. Her eyes are framed by a pair of red glasses, which were given to her by Karin. As noted by Naruto Uzumaki, for the most part she resembles Sasuke. In the epilogue, Sarada's outfit consisted of a pink jacket over a yellow jumper, underneath a high-collared white shirt with a red tie, red skirt and black open-toed boots. By the time of her academy graduation exam, Sarada wears a red sleeveless qipao shirt, similar to Sakura's second outfit, with the Uchiha crest on the back, a pair of light-coloured shorts, purple thigh-length stockings, black shinobi sandals and long purple arm warmers, similar to her father's first outfit. As a genin, she wears a Konoha forehead protector around her forehead with her bangs hanging over it.


Due to Sasuke being absent for most of her life because of his mission, Sarada grew up not knowing her father. Over the years, she was always curious about her father and questioned her mother about his whereabouts countless times and she even became unsure about whether he really cared about the two of them at all. Growing up without a father was something that deeply troubled Sarada and seeing all of her friends and peers enjoying time with their own fathers, left Sarada craving for her father's affection. Despite Sarada's claims that she doesn't remember Sasuke at all, she apparently has some memories of him from her early childhood, such as him and Sakura holding her hands when she was a toddler; this hints Sasuke was more actively involved in her life before he left. Moments before she finally met with Sasuke, the excitement of seeing him for the first time in years awakened her Sharingan. Her initial impression of her father was disappointing due to Sasuke's seemingly cold indifference to her and his refusal to answer her questions regarding his absence, which greatly upset Sarada and even made her cry. Despite this, she still hoped to understand him more and have some kind of relationship with him. After the ordeal with Shin Uchiha and realizing that Sasuke does indeed care very deeply for Sarada and her mother, her relationship with him improves significantly, shown where she was able to talk to her father with ease during their first family dinner together and her joy when he hugged her and affectionately poked her on the forehead before leaving to continue his mission. Although Sarada loves her father, she still doubted that he would come to watch her perform in the Chūnin Exams, and desires to follow a different path than him, but was said to be happier than even Sakura when he returned. Sarada's abilities are largely unknown, but it is stated that she have inherited Sasuke's talent, indicating that she is a gifted kunoichi, and considered to be an elite genin as well. Furthermore, she was noted by Chōchō to be easily able to pass her graduation exams. She could also single-handedly defeat dozens of Shin clones with a single punch, decimating the area in the process. Like most Uchiha, Sarada's specialty is noted to be shurikenjutsu and she is also being shown to be capable of using wires effectively.Like her mother, Sarada has excellent and precise chakra control even before she became a genin. Thus, she can control and release it from a single point in her body with precise timing, resembling strength. By doing so through her fists, she can release it as a tremendous force capable of upturning the area around her and sending opponents crashing while leaving craters behind. Sarada has high agility, able to easily avoid a Shin clone's weapons before she awakened her Sharingan. She also has quick reflexes, able to intercept a sneak-attack from Shin's creature before it could capture her. Sarada manifested the Sharingan at age 11, with the thoughts of meeting her father spurring the awakening. Her Sharingan has one tomoe in each eye. With the Sharingan's predictive ability, Sarada was able to avoid a shuriken-sword that was directed at her. She also displayed the ability to see through genjutsu with them. Sarada has a keen talent for observation and analysing situations, which she uses to come up with the most rational solutions. Like her father, Sarada has critical thinking habits, showing a keen and analytical mind, which aids her in battle to better read an enemy's attack.
