🩷🌸𝑷 | SAKURA HARUNO🥉 — SAKURA&CHIYO - SASORI🥇さんのイラストまとめ

The last example of Sakura displaying sensing skills is when Madara’s body was being consumed by Kaguya. Another example of great amounts of chakra powerful enough to be perceived by non-sensors.

There is evidence of sensory skills being refined with experience, like Sakura.

After training with Tsunade and as she grew older, Sakura could sense Sasuke’s change after he fell victim to the curse of hatred, just as Karin had noted, as well as the chakra of his Amaterasu.

While this wasn’t pointed out the first time during Naruto’s fight against Neji in the Chūnin Exams, Sakura can feel the immense chakra of a tailed beast, and the nature, like it’s common. This was later shown when Team 7 found Orochimaru and Naruto manifested the power again.

The earliest record of Sakura being able to detect chakra signatures is when she felt Zabuza’s chakra and his intention to kill Team 7 during the Land of Waves mission.

Zabuza’s dark chakra was so intense that even Tazuna could perceive it, and he’s not even a ninja.

Sensor-types can boost their abilities using sensing techniques too, the best example being Karin. The Mind's Eye of Kagura is a powerful sensing hijutsu that allows Karin to track signatures several kilometers in the distance, as well as very specific characteristics.

Those shinobi that are not naturally sensor-types can use sensing techniques with mediums adapted to their abilities.

For example, Naruto Uzumaki is not a natural sensor, but Sage Mode grants him the greatest of sensing skills and Kurama allows him to detect negative emotions.

Being a sensor-type is a very beneficial and useful skill in battle as it allows the user to locate an incoming enemy, anticipate jutsu or identify genjutsu; however, not all of them show the same abilities and it varies depending on the skill of the user or the medium they use.

The most common kind of sensor-types are those that can sense the chakra given off by a ninja and it is a superior skill among them.

Shinobi from the Yamanaka clan, Tobirama Senju, the second Tsuchikage or Karin are examples of this, with the latter being exceptionally adept.

According to the third databook, written by Masashi Kishimoto, sensor-types are useful to track or pursue targets, and they are divided into groups based on the medium used for the sensing. Some of them include smell, eyesight, or using animals. Others use special techniques.

The series introduces a handful of ninjas able to detect chakra. It shows that any shinobi has the ability to sense fluctuations in chakra without being a natural sensor-type, especially for foul or powerful signatures.

This also applies to Sakura as genin, chūnin and jōnin.
