Sakura hArunO's bAckground

SAKURA HARUNO 'S BACKGROUND -

During her early
years in the Ninja Academy, Sakura was frequently
bullied by others due
to her large
forehead. To try and
combat this, Sakura
used her bangs to hide her forehead, fuelling the other kids' teasing
by indicating she was sensitive about it. Ino Yamanaka, realising this, helped Sakura by giving her a ribbon that she used as a way of drawing
attention to the cuter features of her forehead, which helped Sakura overcome her insecurity. [4] The two became best friends and Sakura grew
more confident, developing her own unique
personality under Ino's guidance. Despite this,
Sakura felt that she was living in Ino's shadow and
longed to prove herself as Ino's equal. Later, when
Sakura found out that Ino had a crush on Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura ended their friendship so that they could compete for Sasuke's love, thus beginning a bitter rivalry between the two.
