A mission to infiltrate the Akatsuki, what do you expect? Be their most treasured friend? Well yeah that actually happened to Haruno Sakura. But she never expected them to be her new family. What would happen to the Akatsuki once the 5-year mission of their most treasured cherry blossom ended? Will the Akatsuki be ready to give up their goal for their cherry blossom?

"Wh-" I then held his hand. "Shh," I told him. "Don't talk. Just close your eyes." "I'll just have nightmares," he told me. "No more nightmares," I used my free hand to close his eyes. "I promise,"

Orochimaru never became a missing-nin. The Fourth Hokage still stood tall. There was no Uchiha Massacre. The Akatsuki never existed. Madara never became a problem. What could go wrong in such a perfect world? Sakura Haruno had always been alone, and at thirteen, she abandoned Konoha. She had to run from her past, but what exactly would wait for her in her future? @NarutoWattyAwards 2014 Third Place Winner in the General Naruto Category! *Written from 2013-2015*

My name is Rima Hatake, so I guess you can tell who my father is, the copy cat nin Kakashi. As for my mother, well that's a secret best kept hidden, for if it were to get out I would have a certain S-ranked criminal after me. Before she was murdered, my mother sent me off to Kumogakure to train with Killer Bee-sama, but that was nearly seven years ago. Now, I have been summoned back to Konoha by the Hokage to join one of the genin teams and reunite with my father, the man who chose the village over his own wife and child. Let's just say, things are about to get interesting. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto, only the characters I created.
