Was she meant to stay in Konoha, or was she meant for even greater things. Sakura Haruno has grown up in the shadows of Naruto and Sasuke, and now, even with Sasuke a missing nin, leaving one less shadow to fall over her, she is looked over. She is strong. She is intelligent. When will those around her see how truly miserable she is, living in the shadows that her team has created? Follow Sakura as she takes the journey to find her true purpose and makes her mark on the world. It's sure to leave Konoha speechless. Especially when they find out just who her soulmate is.

Listen, I didn't want to do this, but it stayed in my mind and now here we are. Basically, Team 7 vs. Kaguya, final smack down. Then suddenly POOF they're twelve again and waiting to meet their sensei on team assignment day. With no way to get back they decide to stop the war before it begins, and maybe save some people along the way. But they're twelve, how are they supposed to do that? Staring: Naruto Everyone's-My-Friend Uzumaki, Sasuke Maybe-I-Won't-Destroy-Konoha Uchiha, and Sakura Better-Than-This Haruno; with a guest appearance from Kakashi's guilt complex. We'll be in for a ride folks.

"Please fasten your seatbelts and keep your remaining arms and limbs inside the time travel jutsu at all times!" Kurama sang off tune. "KURAMAAAA DON'T DO IT!!! I LITERALLY JUST BECAME HOKAGE!" Naruto screeched from within his mindscape, "AND I FINALLY GOT A VIDEO TUTORIAL OF HOW OROCHIMARU TAKES CARE OF HIS HAIR!" Shikamaru facepalmed. "Konoha is gone. Snap out of it Naruto!" Naruto shook his head in denial. "N-no..." he whimpered as his lip quivered, "THEY ARE ALL HAVING A RAMEN PARTY!!" "Take off in T-minus 9 tails, 8 tails, 7 tails-!" Kurama yodelled. "They are all dead Naruto!!" Shikamaru began slapping him. Naruto blinked, his lip quivered and a screeching sob wobbled out of bus throat. "WAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAh!!!" "-6 tails, 5 tails-!" "Goddamnit Naruto! You freaking invented this jutsu!" "Oh. Right." "-4 tails, 3 tails, 2 tails......HaPpY NeW yEaR!!!!" A blinding light blinded the two remaining ninja and then...! "My name is Sasuke Uchiha and-! "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Naruto screamed suddenly as Sasuke began to introduce himself. Kakashi jumped back completely startled at the outburst as Sakura instinctively shrieked.

They failed, and they weren't proud of it either. With nobody left to save, and nothing left to do, the three men have given up all hope. Obito and Madara and merciless, and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. Death after death, battle after battle. They're tired, and they're done. They thought they'd already fought their hardest battle, but it turns out that the war was just the beginning. Shot back in time with the help of Kurama's hidden jutsu, they find themselves faced with the faces of loved ones, and with the task of stopping multiple tragedies before they happen. One slip up and their whole plan could fall apart. Will it, or will they save everyone? (A Time-Travel AU)

Kakashi died in battle. Team Seven went back in time to protect him. From everything. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not own Naruto or any of the pictures.

His entire life, living in the desert, Gaara believed he would quickly grow sick of sunshine. But when he met him, and saw his blinding smile, he knew sunshine kept him living. Let me give you an image: An uptight, emotionless ball of killing intent with dark glares who scared his own family. Scratch that. Instead, imagine a goofy young boy with no social filter, loved cacti, was gay, and was often called odd or unorthodox by the elders of his village. He had a demon sealed in him that taught him how to swear and tried to help him make friends. He was also the one to facepalm at his vessel's antics. Yeah. That's Gaara. :: Lots of cursing, since Gaara is an odd one and Shukaku isn't a good influence. [Basically a Crack fic, all brain vomit]
