Sakura wanted to die. Sasori was fine with staying dead. But it seemed fate had other plans for them, because when they both wake up younger with blood pulsing through their veins, they had to remember how to live again.

Sakura, who is often sent on solo diplomatic missions on behalf of the Hokage, makes an unlikely ally on her travels. itasaku (note since y'all keep complaining: I also ship SasuHina so SasuHina is in this story. It's in the tags. I don't care if you ship them or not, this is literally a crack ship fic. Quit being an asshole.)

When Sakura was three, her father told her he was a criminal. When she was seven, the last thing she saw of him was the sword on his back. When she was eight, she had a friend named Kiba. When they were twelve, they met Shino. And when they were genin, they began to fight for the truth because they could no longer fight for the sake of Konoha.

The Third Hokage was dead. It wasn't enough. Team Eight knew loss like the seals on the backs of their tongues. They'd been silenced, branded, abandoned, ambushed, left on the enemy's doorstep like a gift--unlucky was their nickname, but they would make it their trade. The Third Hokage was dead. It was Danzo's turn. SEQUEL TO: Hoshigaki (2017-2019) Commissioned Cover by @AwesomeDragonTamer (caleb-crow on Tumblr; caleb_thalia_crow on Instagram) BETA: @OfCloves

IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * A delicate blind girl. A ruthless powerful shinobi. An innocent heart. A manipulative mind. A healing caress. A rough dominating grip. During the time of war and fighting between clans, the weaker always obey the stronger. Those who cannot fight merely wish to survive through the endless clash and can only accept being controlled and satisfied with the limited freedom they have over their life. Then there are those who, with whatever skill and strength they have, wish to help others by relieving physical and emotional pain. One such clan caught in the endless clash for dominance, known far and wide for their vast chakra supply, their domineering physical strength and their frighteningly powerful pin wheeled blood red eyes, develops and interest in a unique healer. A healer whose skill seems to be no match even for those trained for years in medical ninjutsu. The reason? She uses her heart and not her eyes. However, it isn't only her skill in healing that seems to pique the interest of the Uchiha Clan leader. Uchiha Madara, a prideful man with powers unmatched by any other besides the Senju Clan leader, is unconsciously drawn to her warm and unconditionally caring personality. Seeking comfort and a sense of belonging in the arms of a delicate woman was not what he had planned for himself. But things never happen the way they are planned and they never will. And Uchiha Madara ends up with two people he considers so important that he will do anything in his power to protect them. ~~~~~~~~~~ Ranked #1 in Madara Naruto and all its franchise (C) Masashi Kishimoto san OC and creative plot (C) Midnight_Lilac

"You're the only annoying person whose company I can really tolerate," confessed Sasuke. I rolled my eyes but this time with a genuine smile. My right hand rose to my chest and I asked innocently, "Oh? Am I annoying?" "You are annoying," he answered without delay. His smirk lingered as he looked away from my eyes. *** Notable for being the two top strongest students in the Konoha Academy, Sasuke Uchiha and one girl spontaneously form a rival relationship, hence becoming a pair of well-known coequal rivals. They hold a small amount of dislikes toward one another. Sasuke sees her as an annoying, self-centered, perfect little Barbie while the girl sees him as a conceited and stuck-up boy who has a hair resembles of a duck's butt. Of course, they judge way too fast and they actually don't know each other too well. But what happens when they do? *** #1 in Story Rankings for #sasukeuchiha (x6) #1 in Story Rankings for #neji (x2) #2 in Story Rankings for #naruto (June 28th, 2019) #2 in Story Rankings for #narutolovestory (Feb 1st, 2019) #3 in Story Rankings for #sasuke (x2) #4 in Story Rankings for #anime (July 16th, 2020) #7 in Story Rankings for #fanfiction (July 15th, 2020)
