Sakura Haruno is one of the most important kunoichis of her generation in Naruto, and despite being a character that divides fans, it cannot be denied that his great power has been of fundamental importance in history. It is because of that now we explain what the mark on Sakura’s forehead means, and why it symbolizes the most important skill of the shinobi.
Sakura’s Chakra
Before having a mark on the forehead, Sakura was noted for having amazing chakra control. that rivaled the best shinobi in the ninja world. This was recognized by Kakashi upon discovering the ease with which the kunoichi was capable of channeling her energy to different parts of her body, either to increase her physical strength or to defy the laws of gravity by climbing trees.
But even his talent needed a guide, and that’s how he began to train under the Fifth Hokage. Tsunade already had a mark similar to the one that would later appear on Sakura’s forehead.And it was not a mere coincidence. In fact, it could be said that the rectangle on the Hokage’s face is a perfect representation of her most characteristic and powerful abilities that led her to become the leader of Konoha.

The mark on Sakura’s forehead is a result of her harsh chakra control training, and is called the Strength of a Hundred Seal (“Byakugo no In”).. It is a Fuinjutsu or Sealing Technique that only those who have exceptional chakra management can achieve. The mark is actually a kind of energy receptacle that can be controlled by its user. Since it is a concentration of chakra, you can take advantage of it to boost your physical abilities such as your strength or speed.
However, the One Hundred Strength Seal can also be used in battle for other purposes. For example, we saw how Tsunade and Sakura used it by releasing their accumulated chakra to summon Katsuyu., a giant slug that inhabits the Shikkotsu Forest. Kunoichi also often use this chakra to power their medical jutsus and healing abilities.
