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*

Naruto fought to bring sasuke back, a badly injured Naruto drags sasuke's unconscious body back to Konoha. He wasn't expecting a warm welcome but he wasn't expecting things to go bad either. It wasn't going any better in fact it took a turn for the worst. Would people realise their mistakes before something happens to their little blob of sunshine that has always faked his way but suddenly cracked a little? Would everyone be quick enough to realise something was wrong before anything bad happens to him or would they choose to ignore his pleas for help?
