Cynical 15-year-old Akina Akunawa dies and wakes up reincarnated as Sakura Haruno, the least-liked character in the Naruto anime. Trapped in the body, Akina despises Sakura's short pink hair, lack of skill, and canon obsession with Sasuke Uchiha. Determined to survive the dangerous ninja world and rewrite a flawed destiny, Akina decides to keep quiet, feign modesty at the Academy, and train in secret. But how long can a cynical soul maintain the façade of a cheerful, naive child while secretly preparing for the fight of her life? Akina will prove that this 'trash' character is capable of more than obsession-she's capable of revolution. "The truly devastating thing about life is not the pain it inflicts, but the agonizing realization that the suffering is utterly pointless. There's no grand cosmic lesson, no divine reward for endurance. You simply take the hits until you don't, and the world moves on, oblivious. It's a tragedy without an audience, and frankly, a waste of a good theatrical cry." - Akina Akunawa. © All Rights Reserved

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. I thought, no, I believed that I have improved. I believed that I have changed, caught up to my peers, became strong enough to stand side-by-side with them. Yet, evidence is here, all around me. 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

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. I want to portray Sakura in light of being a strong woman, rather than just a "side character" who can't do much. This is also a story about self-doubt and learning to appreciate what you can do and learn boundaries and how to exceed the expectations put on you by others. #1 In Sakura Haruno #1 In Hokage #1 In Sakura #1 in Ninja #1 in Narutoshippuden #1 in Konoha #1 in Kakashi-sensei #1 in Tsunade #1 in Sasuke #2 in Self-improvement #2 in Akatsuki #2 in Team7 #3 in Naruto #9 in Selflove #10 in Women
