Sakura Manga Kishimoto Style

Sakura in an original design. I kinda tried to imitate Kishi's original style he used in the earlier manga issues of Naruto. Most of the time, his characters would have a lot of accessories and giant kunai, and Sakura especially, would usually have a cute yet teasing look on her face. Here, I based the design off of her Shippuuden outfit, I still kept some important elements of her attire, though - like the red color, black shorts, and her clan symbol.

Around her ankle is the Haruno clan symbol (white circle), and on each side of the weapon she's holding, has the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans' symbols. In a way, it represents that Sasuke and Naruto are still head-to-head with each other, and Naruto facing upward because he represents sunshine and happiness, while Sasuke is left alone and lost in darkness. Sakura on the other hand, is watching from the bottom, as she feels she can't do anything more for the two of them.
