!NOT MY BOOK! (from itsthechocopuff on ao3) During their mission to Wave, Sakura realizes how behind she is in her training and decides to do something about it. She vows to become a shinobi her Village and her teammates can respect and depend on. But Sakura has always been a paper ninja, so her first stop for inspiration is the library where she finds unexpected help in the form of one very bored tokujo who quickly goes on to become an integral part of her life. Soon, despite the neglect of her sensei and all odds seemingly against her, Sakura's destiny begins to change.

What if Sakura had a good teacher, one that paid a little closer attention, one that encouraged her growth. Honestly, I want a Sakura with character development as well as opportunities.

The war is over. Yet, only one left alive is her. A girl, they never paid enough attention to. A girl, who is to be sent in time and change the whole history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing. There is nothing left behind, but corpses scattered around. Blood. They are all dead, because once again, I have failed to save them. Once again, I disappointed everyone around me. Once again, I am the only one, who is left behind, alone.

They are all dead, leaving me only one alive. I bite my bottom lip, fighting tears that are pooling in my eyes. I have failed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Story Rankings : #1 in #Sakura #1 in #SakuraHaruno #1 in #Shippuden #4 in #Akatsuki #1 in #Haruno #4 in #Konoha #71 in #Naruto

Sakura Haruno died because she was supposed to die. She no longer had to deal with the crazy things in her world because fate had finally put an end to her. Maybe fate also had a few other things in mind too.

She wheezed and hacked. Through blurry vision, she could see a flurry of movement. The ringing in her ears wouldn't go away either. 'This is it,' she thinks, 'Finally my time, eh?' She couldn't wait to see everyone again. She jolts. She isn't dead, she realizes. She isn't even in the same area where her body should be laying dead.
