While theNarutoseries has given us many unforgettable moments, one jaw-droppingly iconic scene is frequently overlooked by the fandom. The fight between the five Kages and Madara Uchiha fromNaruto: Shippudenis one of the most intense battles in the entire series, but what stands out the most in this is Tsunade’s incredible tenacity despite being defeated by Madara.

On the other hand, despite having a similar power structure, her apprentice Sakura Haruno has yet to show us a moment that quite compares to Tsunade’s battle with Madara. While Sakura has had her share of impressive feats, especially in her battle against Sasori and later alongside Naruto and Sasuke, many believe it still might never surpass Tsunade’s “Gigachad” level scene fromNaruto: Shippuden.

Tsunade’s Iconic Scene in the Battle Against Madara inNaruto: Shippuden

A whole iconic moment of Tsunade was created during the Fourth Great Ninja War ofNaruto: Shippuden, where she fought alongside the other Kages against Madara Uchiha. The battle was intense, as Madara, with his power of the Rinnegan and theEternal Mangekyo Sharingan, proved to be an unstoppable force to reckon with. Each of the Kages pushed themselves to their limits, but it was Tsunade who stood out as the epitome of resilience and willpower.

In this fight, Tsunade was eventually bisected by Madara’s Susanoo, leaving her detached from her lower half. However, even in this nearly fatal state, she summoned Katsuyu and used her remaining chakra to heal the other half-dead Kages. Despite being on the brink of death herself, she remained conscious and determined to save her comrades.

Tsunade became unquestionably one of the most powerful characters in the entireNarutoseries at this point. She showed her extraordinary healing powers in addition to bearing awful pain, proving why she was one of the three Legendary Sannin and theFifth Hokage.

Can Sakura Surpass Tsunade’s Legendary Feat inBoruto?

Sakura Haruno has always been a controversial character in theNarutoseries. In Part 1, she was often criticized for her lack of fighting skills compared to Naruto and Sasuke. However, Sakura’s character development took a major turn when she became Tsunade’s apprentice, learning medical ninjutsu and honing her incredible strength.

Her defining moment came during the fight against Sasori of the Red Sand, one of the members of the Akatsuki. Paired with Lady Chiyo, Sakura displayed her newfound combat abilities and sharp strategic mind, ultimately playing a critical role in defeating Sasori.Sakura’s growthhas been consistent since then, playing a vital role in the Fourth Great Ninja War and finally reaching her peak in theBorutoseries.

However, despite Sakura’s shine inBoruto, there’s a valid argument that no matter how epic her moment may be, it still won’t surpass the “Gigachad” level scene that Tsunade had inNaruto: Shippuden. The sheer horror of being bisected and yet continuing to persevere, heal others, and remain conscious is an almost impossible feat to replicate.

Thus, withBoruto, Sakura has a perfect chance to finally step into the spotlight. For instance, Sakura’s defining moment could involve protecting her daughter Sarada in a battle against a major villain, emphasizing her role as both a mother and a warrior in a crucial moment. Additionally,Borutocan also explore Sakura’s potential in medical ninjutsu, showing her advancing Tsunade’s techniques even further.

Sakura’s journey from an underdog inNarutoto one of the strongest Kunoichi in the world has been inspiring, but it’s clear thatBorutomust give hera scene that showcases everything she’s learned and accomplished; something that will be equally important, or even surpass Tsunade’s impressive moment.
