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.

She stood in between her two most precious people to stop their untimely deaths and everything happened in a blink of an eye and now, Haruno Sakura begins a different life along with her long lost brother, Sasori of the Akatsuki and somehow, the Uchiha Sasuke eventually weaves himself into her life and it gets better. Story is better than summary.

The harsh reality strike down Sakura extremely to the point where it left an everlasting impact as a result, permanently changing her. Life was not a bed of roses and it remains to this day the same, thorns causing you to bleed and the longer she pretends to be in the bed of roses, endlessly she was tortured. So she got up from the bed of thorns and witnessed the bloody lies hidden from her. From there on she desired the truth and with the legacy behind her eyes, seeking the ends of the truth leaving her hatred exposed upon her wake. [Undergoing Editing & Re-write 2019]

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*

They were shinobi: machines trained from childhood to kill or be killed. They were experienced soldiers; tools even. And that's why you can't blame them for being idiots in everything else.

"He chose your fate. You have to take over his job. His village. His place in the world. This is the life you have to live. So, what do you say? Do you accept the position as Orochimaru's successor?"

What if Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura met when they were little kids? What if they saved each other from their pain? What if they decided to become each other's family? What if Sasuke wasn't that emo? What if Sakura wasn't a Fangirl? What if Naruto was smart? What if they put on masks to hide their real personality so they could be on the same team? What happens when they take off their masks?

Sasuke has returned to Konoha of his own free will. Naruto thinks that they will be like the old days. Team 7 reunited. But Sasuke has not returned alone and Sakura has a lot to think about. There are many questions dancing around in Sakura's life. What is Sasuke's goal? - What is that bitch doing in my place? - What am I doing? But Sakura has changed dramatically. She isn't the crybaby Sakura nor Tsunade's disciple. She has far surpassed Tsunade and has locked her emotions away and threw the key. Let's follow Sakura on her path to unlock her feelings once again.

This is my own spin on Naruto Shippudden. I felt that Sakura was not shown in her best light during the Shippudden series, although she had grown as a character. I believe that she did have the potential to be more powerful than she is given credit for. So my story will detail the struggles in Sakura's journey to find her own truth, voice and power. I ask that this story be given patience and respect as it might not follow the same plot design and intention as the original Naruto Shippudden. I will update at least twice a week.
