Sakura Haruno

⚠️ WARNING: Implication of Rape

(Sorry guys, it had to be done...)

Sakura Haruno was no prodigy.

She disregarded her lessons, instead chasing after a boy.

She was civilian-born.

And yet, she had mastered and created something no one had ever thought of.

Blood affinity, or blood control.

Although there are chakra coils within a person, chakra flows through the blood as well. A thin line of pure, untainted chakra that was never disrupted.

Reaching the pinnacle of chakra control, with her Seal, the Strength of 100, she had been able to control and manipulate that thin line of chakra.

And with that, the blood.

There was a reason the black market called her blood blossom.

::

She clenched her first tightly, the bandages on her arm and hand tightening.

Why was she so angry?

Her eyes blazed as she gazed at the place they all met, before promises were broken and leaving the village was never even a thought.

The Shinobi Academy.

It was long closed for the schooling day, but there she stood, one hand tightly be her side and the other clutching an umbrella as the rain poured down.

"Well look over here, it's Sakura Haruno."

The woman in question bared her teeth, emerald eyes glaring at her captor. The ropes that bonded her gripped her body tightly as she growled, trying to escape.

"Aw, don't get to upset, girlie. There'll be tons of fun." A new figure emerged, chuckling darkly.

She tried to speak, but the gag covered her mouth and muffled her. The figure crouched before her, pouting at her angry face and trailing a cold finger over her cheek. Chuckling again as Sakura flinched.

"You are so cute."

A dark, cold feeling washed over Sakura as she sat there in fear, tied in rope and unable to speak. They had stripped her of all her weapons, even the hidden pin in her hair.

She was vulnerable, alone,

And afraid.

The figure moved back, sitting across from her on a chair of his own.

"You know, I met your friends once.

Naruto, Kiba, Ino, Shino, Lee, Kakashi, and Sasuke Uchiha.

Interesting people. Of course, they didn't know that I was a certain person, with certain..associates that had the power to get you.

They gave me your name, where you lived, your job, and your favorite establishments that you frequent. From there, it wasn't hard to find you alone.

And now, we're here."

He laughed gesturing to the dark room they currently sat in.

Sakura felt a bead of sweat roll down her face as a chilling shiver ran down her spine.

"We parted ways. And you have quite the price on your head in the black market, blood blossom. We could just sell you and be done with it, but like I said..

We are gonna have fun."

No one heard her scream.

::

Sakura spent many sleepless nights recalling that nightmarish hell hole.

She spent many hours in front of her mirror, tracing the scars that would brand her body forever.

And that.. wasn't the only thing.

With the scars that cloaked her body, she never felt beautiful. All she wanted to do was curl up and die.

They abused her, tortured her, and finally, forced themselves upon her as they chuckled at her screams.

She could never live truly again.

And..and knowing the same group of people who left Konoha for Sasuke Uchiha was behind it..

Sakura Haruno would never forgive.

No matter how hard she tried.. she could never forget.

She had lost control of everything after that and massacred the entire building, killing the man who started it all gruesomely. The rescue team that was Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, and Hinata had arrived on the scene only to find their friend bathed in blood and sobbing.

Broken.

::

Standing before her fallen comrades, due to her, she may have seemed unreasonable and insane.

But if you gazed upon the battles, the torment, the wars, that were etched into her skin as scars, maybe..

Just maybe...

It would look justified.

This was created not only to give a better understanding of how deeply shattered Sakura is, and to give better reason as to why she is so angry at the Traitors. In the original, a few people asked why she was so angry at them and that they were confused, so I came up with this.

Sorry?

Just so it's clear, this is what Tsunade was mentioning in 5. A Mission about losing control. Sakura, the OP beast that she is in this book, can be very destructive when losing control.

And in Sasuke Uchiha's chapter, the last one about not accepting the war in her eyes and the shiver on her shoulders, and her fear, that was because of this.

In A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, when Sasuke began to force himself onto her as well, Sakura panicked and attacked him brutally as she was sent back to when this happened. When she was raped. She is able to express attraction to Shikamaru and have him kiss her since she knows how much he loves her and he always asks for consent unless she initiates it. But seriously even being grabbed by a man makes her freak and attack them.

She's broken.
