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*

The Sasaki Family is revered as the head of one of the most vicious Yakuza Organizations in all of Tokyo. Rin Sasaki, a 15 year old teenager, is the sole heir of this family. The only problem? She's a girl. In an attempt to prove her grandfather wrong, Rin attends the notorious, all boys boarding school, Konoha Elite. But high school isn't as easy as it seems, especially when you go to a school created to train future hitmen, assassins, and yakuza heads. So, will Rin be able to stay out of trouble? (Eh....probably not.) Will she keep her gender a secret? (Highly unlikely!) And what happens when a puppet freak, a blond bomber and a Jashin-obsessed teen start taking an interest in this black haired shortie? (A really big mess)

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.
