An Au wherein Sakura is placed in a team with Nara Shikamaru and Aburame Shino.
There are those who fight with brawn. There are those who fight behind desks and command others. There are those who fight using their years of experience. There are those who fight with their instincts. There are those who fight with all their might with or without a plan. And there are those who fight with calculated steps and patterns. Here we have 3 fresh graduates that were appointed to a team that only came once every century: A combat team that can engage battle with a particular fighting style that most would consider weak: 'Smart'.
Pairing: Unknown yet

Forged Beyond
Naruto, orphaned in the wake of the Kyuubi's wrath, was marked by the village as a monster. No mentor extended a hand; no peer stood by his side. As others played, he lingered in the shadows, craving the warmth of recognition. His pranks, his laughter, all mere echoes of a desperate heart reaching for fleeting glances. Sasuke lived under the same roof as his family, yet his existence was a shadow of another's brilliance. Itachi-the golden son, the perfect shinobi. Sasuke was forever in his wake. "It's Itachi's brother," they whispered, "Why can't you be like him?" The words burrowed deep, seeping into his soul. Sakura, born to a civilian family, rejected the path laid before her. When she defied the role of a dutiful bride and aspiring kunoichi, her parents' love twisted into cruelty. The bruises were not just on her skin but in her spirit. Bullied for her looks, she wondered if anyone would ever see her true beauty. Bound by shared pain and unspoken dreams, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura turned their backs on the village. They swore to return, but only when they had become the warriors they were meant to be, and to gain the respect they always deservedComplete

Heal Me, Like You Always Do.
Naruto has been ridiculed and shamed. His heart was torn into shreds as he never felt more useless in his life. Moreover, this caused him to drop the charade of being the village idiot. He didn't need to act dumb anymore because all it did was get him hurt. Perhaps this made him more vulnerable. The girl, by his side, has offered him ointment and constant support, but she doesn't know how much her kindness will help to save whatever is left of who he used to be. Unmasked! Depression! Triggers! Naruhina! Super Naruto! Smart Naruto! Drama! And ... Mild Sakura Bashing! I'm sorry!!!!! I am learning to like Sakura but... just like Sasuke it's going to take some time to love her.Complete
Between Silence and Soft Footfalls
"Sometimes, the loudest love is the one that never had to ask to be heard." At the edge of the quiet Nara forest, where the wind carries both secrets and the scent of wildflowers, Sakura Haruno has built a modest life filled with orphaned children, gentle animals, and healing hands. Revered for her strength and grace but untouched by love, she has long believed her heart to be meant only for service, not surrender. Shikamaru Nara, the elusive genius with clouds in his gaze and burdens in his mind, lives a life governed by logic, strategy, and an eternal pursuit of peace-until her soft laughter begins to echo through his days, stirring questions he can't outthink. Their lives begin to intertwine through quiet visits, reluctant friendship, and a growing tension that neither one of them names-until fate, family, and a series of clumsy near-confessions force their hearts into a dance they can no longer avoid. In a world healing from war, they will discover that love isn't always loud-it is often found in the hush between conversations, the stillness after laughter, and the soft footfalls of someone choosing to stay. A heartwarming, steamy, and laugh-out-loud journey of two unlikely souls who stumble into love, domestic chaos, and forever-one quiet moment at a time. Between Silence and Soft Footfalls is a tender tale of family, devotion, and the slowest, sweetest burn of all. Naruto © Masashi KishimotoComplete
The Camp Shinobi Disaster
AU. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. Poor Sakura Haruno thought that nothing could be worse than having your parents ship you off to some mixed-gender Ninja Summer Camp program, especially when almost nobody she knew would be there. Add the fact that she was paired up with both the hyperactive blond kid who used to do horticulture and some rich guy whose only outward talent appeared to be gathering masses of fan girls, and a lazy cabin counselor whose favorite past time happened to be reading porn novels. Great. But just when she thinks it won't be so bad, things get weird. Counselors are disappearing, kids are freaking out, and rumors spread quickly of a terrible creature stalking their once-peaceful camp. When Sakura's best friend Ino finally goes missing, it spurs Cabin 7 into action - but will they be too late? Main pairings: SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, SaiIno, ShikaTema, and SuiKar.Complete
