Preventing The Inevitable
24 parts Ongoing Dying was everything Sakura had expected, an event to happen sooner rather than later (a lot sooner, actually), an unstoppable force fueled by the arm of a goddess piercing her, and just barely not enough will to survive.
Simultaneously, it was nothing she could've ever predicted, imagined, or prepared for. Not when she was apparently five years old again.
Or;
What awaited Sakura after death was neither the afterlife nor an endless void of darkness.
She didn't expect to wake up screaming in a bed too soft and a place too peaceful. And she certainly didn't expect that place to be an alternate timeline, a world that was living 20 years in the past, where the dead where alive and young again, as if they had never perished in the war.
But could starting from zero again change anything at all?
This world was going to end anyways.
Or was it?
Sakura starts to work for a better future, a world where her comrades wouldn't die and could grow old, only to realize that her new world seemed to have some differences from her original one.
One being that her family was unbelievably poor. Another being an older brother she didn't remember having last time around.
