Sakura Haruno is and was a character who divided the Naruto Fandom.
The most common argument against her was that she was useless.
Now what one shall do if you are reborn as her?
Our elderly MC for sure will do anything, do not be her!
Or:
An 85...
I'm not some 16-year-old girl who got hit by a truck and got isekai into an anime world.
I'm old.
Really old.
85 years old.
I got wrinkles and white hair and I'm a bit chubby.
I lived a long and fulfilling life.
I read, watched, and bought anime, travelled the world, enjoyed the company of friends and family, found a job I adored, and adopted two amazing kids, a boy and a girl, who had children and made me a proud grandmother of seven kids.
I was happy.
Even if I didn't find someone to share my life with.
I enjoyed being a cute grandma and showing my grandchildren some classic animes like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, you name it, and not that futurist shit they have now.
Bah, just the names are awful. And even thinking about the plots just gives me a headache.
What, I'm trying to say is that the wish to get Isekai into a beloved anime was not there anymore.
I was at peace with the life I had.
As it was time to die, I was a bit scared, but I hoped to get into heaven and meet my deceased family again.
It only saddened me that I couldn't see what my youngest grandchildren would do with their lives, but I was sure they would find their way.
So no regrets.
No wish to have a new life.
I was ready for the afterlife.
So why, WHY, did I suddenly wake up in an unfamiliar bedroom, feeling so young and full of energy?
I was shocked.
Was this heaven?
As I stood up and scanned the room I noted how Japanese everything was.
Well, Japan was for me like my second home. Till I could I tried to travel there at least once every two years.
So okay, my afterlife was styled after the country I had loved so much in life.
Nothing to worry about.
When I looked into the mirror standing in a corner of the room, I started to scream!
Long pink hair.
Large forehead.
Green Eyes.
Small body with tiny breasts and waist.
This was not my body! Not even my younger one!
But I knew the person in the mirror!
"I'M SAKURA HARUNO!", I yelled in perfect Japanese. "WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!"
If God or whoever was responsible for this isekai then why Sakura?
Couldn't I be Rin and live my teenage dream of dating Obito?
Couldn't I be Naruto and marry my beloved Hinata?
Nooooo, it had to be the fangirl!
This sucks!
I don't wanna marry Sasuke!
No, no, no!
Sorry Sarada.
I have no desire to be the medic and the most useless team member.
Yes I know Kishimoto was bad a writing female characters.
Doesn't change the fact that Sakura was a huge bitch to Naruto most of the time, mooned over Sasuke, destroyed her friendship with Ino for a boy, and even with the tools Tsunade gave her she just faded into the background.
Okay, she punched Kaguya, a literal goddess, which was cool, so Sasuke and Naruto could seal her but...I just don't want to be Sakura.
I mean what can I do?
Sakura has amazing chakra control and masters Tsunade's seal at a young age, it just is not for me.
If I would be Rin or Naruto I would be a Jinchuriki and you bet your ass I would make the best out of that and become a literal deity!
So one thing is clear...I will not follow Sakura's canon path, nothing in the nine circles of hell will make me marry Sasuke the duckbutt, again sorry Sarada, and just wind up as medic-nin.
No, I will carve my own path!
And I know who will be my role model.
I find some hair ties and start to braid my hair in three braids.
No one said I couldn't get inspired by another anime.
I will introduce the power of Breathing Styles into the Naruto World and become his Love Hashira.
Yep, I will go the Mitsuri Kanroji way!
Minus finding the husband thing. Since I don't think I can snatch up Obito, one he is way older than Sakura-me, and two I don't know how to save his ass and I want that NaruHina sails.
It was my first OTP and I will kill anybody who gets in the way of it!
Dattebane!
Even if I will sob into my champagne glass at their wedding since I can't marry Hinata-Chan myself.
My hair is finished and I nod to myself.
Much better.
Now to find some clothes to fit the aesthetic.
