"Take my eye," Sasuke had said.
Those spinning kaleidoscope eyes would never spin again.
She had accepted.
(TIME-TRAVEL/THE LAST SEMI-COMPLACENT/SAKURA-CENTRIC)
Three years, Sakura believes, is enough time to indite herself out from the memories of the losses of the latest Great War- the same one which had claimed the lives of both of her teammates. Looking up at the Konoha skyline reminds her of the fondest of these recollections; a grand statue of Naruto Uzumaki still stands, pristine-gold as it had been when it had been erected so long ago.
Maybe it started off with a wish-- a wish to keep him alive, perhaps, that had triggered it all- but either way, the moon's descent towards earth is threatening to eradicate all life on earth. And Haruno Sakura realizes that her hope is now a future too harsh to face.
And like any normal person during hard times, she doesn't- she goes to the past.

The Rise of Uchiha Clan Part II
Three years have passed since Team 7 was torn apart. Now sixteen, Naruto returns to the Hidden Leaf Village, older, stronger-but unprepared for the darkness that has taken root in his absence. What was once a hopeful mission to reunite his friends has become a descent into a world filled with new enemies, hidden truths, and emotional scars too deep to ignore. Sasuke, now entangled in the web of his clan's legacy, uncovers a truth so devastating it threatens to consume him entirely. As his grip on himself begins to slip, he stands on the edge of becoming the very thing he once vowed to destroy. Meanwhile, Hinata-no longer the timid girl she once was-has made her own choice: to walk into the storm if it means saving Sasuke from himself. Even if it costs her life, she's willing to face the darkness so he doesn't have to face it alone. In a world unraveling at the seams, the bond between these three is tested like never before. Love, loss, and fate collide-will Naruto's light be enough to pull them all back from the brink?Complete
What could have been (one shot)
She had wasted years chasing a dream that was never meant to be. Sasuke Uchiha is dead-killed by Naruto in their final battle. Sakura Haruno should hate him for it. She should blame him, curse him, and despise him for breaking his promise. But she can't. Because deep down, in the hollowed-out remains of her heart, she knows the truth: Naruto was never the one who failed her. She was the one who failed him. Once, he had been hers to claim-the one boy who saw her, recognized her, and cherished her without hesitation. But she had turned away, blind to what she had until it was gone. And now, as she watches him in absolute love with another-with the fire, devotion, and tenderness she once craved-Sakura is left to drown in the weight of her mistakes. For once, she reaches out to the only friend she has left. But as the hours pass and the truth becomes unbearable, one question lingers in the cold Konoha air: What does a person do when there's nothing left to hold onto? Tonight, under the quiet glow of Konoha's bright lanterns amongst the cold winds, one last mistake waits to be made. Canon Divergences: Sakura never trained under Tsunade, never reached her full potential, and remained a low-tier kunoichi under Kurenai's genjutsu tutelage. Her obsession with Sasuke only worsened over the years. Naruto, no longer the boy who once begged for her affection, is soon to be Hokage and devoted to Hinata, the soon to be Hyuga clan head, the woman he truly loves. As the past and present collide, Sakura is forced to face the life she could have had-and the one she threw away.Complete

距 - Distance ...---... "Sakura..." she turned towards me, sending a smile. I felt my heart flutter at the sudden sight. "Yes?" "If two people love each other, they get together, right?" She seemed confused at my question, but nodded. "Yeah. Why?" I faked a smile and shook my head. "Nothing." "Well, I'm sure that you'll meet a pretty boy that would love you too." I felt my smile drop, but as always, I kept it up. In my head I scowled, because it wasn't a boy I wanted, like any other cliche romance story. I wanted her. ...---... If two people love each other, they should get together. But...this is different. Because she's pretty. I'm ugly. She's rich. I'm poor. She has her family. I have an unloving brother. She has friends. I'm a loner. She's popular. I'm just her old friend that clung onto her. ...---... I look at her across my room, wondering how it was possible we managed to stick together for so long. All I was to her was someone who listened to her problems, defended her from people, and gave her a Laffy Taffy every Tuesday after her volleyball practice. "Just a friend," I imagined she would say when her other friends would ask her who I was. And now we sit, at four in the morning, completing homework. I watch her as she averts her eyes to the window, the one she usually snuck out of, and bobs her head to the tune blasting out of those pink headphones of hers. Her half lidded emerald eyes, dubbed with exhaustion, glisten in the moonlight, as her ruby lips mouth along with the music. Maybe, if I got closer... And then I remember where we are. Who we are. I'm just her roommate. She's my friend. Maybe...this distance is enough. Because every time I try to get closer, he would come and ruin it all. "Its best if you just stay away," he'd say. As I soon get my head out of the clouds, I see her, with her pink hair and emerald eyes. I unnoticeably sigh before returning to my work. This distance is enougComplete
Sightless Silver
"The world is grey, it's simple, nothing can be trusted. For a child like me, who can I trust in this place with everything trying to take my life? That grey tree, it could fall on me, this grey building I hide in, it could collapse on me. Nothing is bright because everything is grey. People are the greyest of them all. That's how life is when no one can show you color. The two lifeless bodies who once shown brightly to me, they too are now grey. The two who showed me the world with colorful books are now cold and lifeless, blending with the grey. I too, would be joining them, eventually that is. I, who was never colorful, will be going to where color shall show. At least, that's what I hoped for. I saw the colors of the sky, but it was all a ruse of false hope. The world was grey again, and I was stuck drowning in it once again." When a child turns into a girl, the colors show. All it took was being happy with life and enjoying what you had. That was something a child couldn't understand like a girl could. When one who has had nothing gains something, they understand. A girl who lost her two colors in the world, understood why color existed. It wasn't because the world is out for you at all times. It's because the one who is most untrustworthy is yourself. The girl learned after she gained her colors. She couldn't see her colors because she couldn't understand what she was missing. It's not that she was missing anything, it was that she was always concerned about what she was missing. In other words, you can only see color if you can gather the courage to stop doubting why you exist. That's exactly what the girl learned after so long. Years of her own self-loathing curiosity were only holding her back. A child who couldn't understand what anything meant, now a girl who can forget that and start living her own life with her own choices. That's the life of Rizuka Kyoyin, the Sightless Silver. {Mary Sue Warning} ~Book One of the Silver Series~ -Love KimiComplete![Sightless [A Naruto Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/32648775-256-k671597.jpg)
Sightless [A Naruto Fanfic]
'How could I have been so blind?' That was the question that demanded attention in Asari Kazue's mind. As time passed and her surroundings continued to shift, that one thing never changed. She never saw the person that she walked outside of Konoha's protective walls to meet again- it was as if he'd become someone else entirely. She'd been too blind, too trusting, too naive- Never again. At the same time, while part of her wishes to escape, the other part is only longing to find that side of him again. Perhaps then, she'd be able to make sense of all of the confusing feelings- the ones that hurt despite the fact that she's a girl who's never known the feeling of pain. *** 'I just want to breath without someone jumping.' Jun's rapidly deteriorating control over the part of himself he once labeled Kurai Jiko has everyone who's aware of the situation leaping to their feet the second the boy does as much as form a hand-sign. It's suffocating. For the boy whose only dream was to be a normal shinobi of the village, his life has all but become a nightmare of his. He'd do anything to escape it. Anything except run from it. *** 'Just for now, let's keep it a secret. The moment everyone knows... everything will change.' The two years that her team was in splinters, Miki found refuge in the one person around her who never changed. When he was nearby, she could breath. She could think without her mind pulling up memories that as far as she knows, can never become reality again. When he's not around, however, everything comes crashing down. In an attempt to escape this, she's taken more missions in two years than she'd done in her lifetime up till that point. At the same time, a piece of news appears that will change everything- not just her life, but the life of the one person she cares about the most as well. Sometimes, however, change is a good thing- whether one wants to accept it or not.Complete

trapped ➳ naruto | ✔️
"Don't make this any harder than it has to be, Sakura." I swallowed hard, my body shaking. I can't believe this is actually happening. Who knew that it will actually end up like this? I knew that I have to save Naruto and Sasuke-kun so that we could run away and hide before it's too late. "I-I'm not opening the door." I took a step backwards, looking at the kitchen. There was a knife on the counter, I needed it. If he is going to break inside, I have to fight back in order to get out of here. I quickly get it and face the door once again. I take a deep breath and tighten the grip on the knife's handle. There was one big question that kept running inside my mind over and over again. When will this nightmare end? Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto suddenly found themselves stuck in their own "ideal world"; a world with no chakra, ninjas, wars and just peace, tranquility and happiness. Their loved ones who were once dead are alive and the place they called home is back to normal again. Everything seems perfect, right? Wrong. They soon find out the person who has trapped them in that world is out to kill them. What's worse is that he won't stop at nothing until they're dead and they don't even have chakra to fight back. Will they be able to escape and be safe? Or will they remain trapped forever? Quote of the story (but not in the actual story): "Just like everybody else, you three believe in everything until it's disproved. You believe in old myths, in ghosts, in powerful creatures, etc. It all exists, even if it's just in your minds. So who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as you and I?"
