What if Sakura had a good teacher, one that paid a little closer attention, one that encouraged her growth. 

Honestly, I want a Sakura with character development as well as opportunities. I want to portray Sakura in light of being a strong woman, rather than just a "side character" who can't do much.

This is also a story about self-doubt and learning to appreciate what you can do and learn boundaries and how to exceed the expectations put on you by others.

Everyone else? Gone. Including her will to care ...until she woke up as a six-year-old, frog plush in hand, watching her parents die. Again. This time, she wasn't letting fate win. She had people to save: Obito (masked disaster), Kakashi (emotionally repressed), Shisui (needed therapy), and Itachi - yes, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 Itachi - who once spared her life and now looked at her like she was a glitch in his perfect math. Her plan? Change the past, save the world, definitely 𝐧𝐨𝐭 fall for Itachi Uchiha. Too late. Turns out, rewriting destiny comes with side effects: trauma, time paradoxes, and... (forgotten? Nah surely repressed) feelings. And somewhere above it all, the red never seemed to disappear. ⸻ "Damn," Shisui muttered. "This is above my pay grade." Akai let out a small breath of relief. Then, of course, he added, "So you're telling me, in another timeline, I was dramatic enough to yeet myself into a river and give away my eyeballs like party favors? Honestly, I'm insulted. At least make me a little cooler next time." Itachi sighed. Akai snorted. The future had already changed.

If the Uchiha are a clan of hatred, then she is the greatest example of that. With a power akin to that of her ancestor, a man said to have been of equal strength to that of the first hokage, Konohagakure has no choice but to choose her as an ally. But, dammit, why does it always have to be a man that gets in her way? PLEASE DONT READ THIS- It was one of my first stories and is very disorganized.

𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑼𝒔 || Sasuke Uchiha「 ♥︎ 」 by AyameMizukii

"Ashes fell between them... but somewhere, an ember still breathes." ⸻ Two and a half years ago, Ayame Mizuki swore she'd never leave the Leaf. Now she doesn't know if she'll ever see it again. The girl who once fought for peace now walks beside a boy who abandoned everything for power: Sasuke Uchiha. The name she once whispered like a promise, is colder now.. Sharper and unrecognizable. And yet... she follows. Their bond was once rooted in childhood, in loss, in unspoken hope. But time has scorched the innocence from them both. What remains is something darker. Something dangerous. Something neither of them can let go of. She's wanted. He's feared. Together, they're a ghost story whispered through villages. Two traitors. Two weapons. Bound not by duty, but by the ashes of what they used to be. This isn't just a love story. It's what happens after one dies, but there's a spark.. A single ember arising from ashes. ⸻ 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑰𝑺 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑬𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑳 𝑶𝑭 𝑴𝒀 𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑲 "𝑨𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑼𝒔"! ⸻ → 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: This story contains moments of angst, themes of depression, violence, PTSD, and more.

Undeserving by spinjitzumockingjay

Shippuden but Sakura-centered *CURRENTLY UPLOADING AND REDRAFTING ONTO AO3* - username "ziggerastica" "Sakura didn't deserve to be on Team 7" "Sakura didn't deserve Sasuke" "Sakura didn't deserve to train under Tsunade" Well, what Sakura definitely deserves is more focus and development. Of course, I could never do near as well as Kishimoto Sensei, but we can all admit that Sakura wasn't his greatest writing moment. I'm basically rewriting extracts of Shippuden where Sakura could have made different choices, or where it would have been interesting to see into her thoughts. There's also some insight into my take on the Pre-Shippuden time skip, as well as random extracts of other characters that I felt like writing. I'm not a big Sakura fan but I think she could be a great character. If ur actually reading this, it's still in progress, bear with me. A chapter a day keeps bedtime away :). I write at night so excuse me for waffling nonsense, and for how this gets increasingly worse in quality by chapter. Ships included: canon ones, plus NejiTen and LeeSaku Includes some fanart by me. I do not own the other fanart, and the characters all belong to Masashi Kishimoto.

The war is over. Yet, only one left alive is her. A girl, they never paid enough attention to. A girl, who is to be sent in time and change the whole history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing. There is nothing left behind, but corpses scattered around. Blood. They are all dead, because once again, I have failed to save them. Once again, I disappointed everyone around me. Once again, I am the only one, who is left behind, alone. I thought, no, I believed that I have improved. I believed that I have changed, caught up to my peers, became strong enough to stand side-by-side with them. Yet, evidence is here, all around me. They are all dead, leaving me only one alive. I bite my bottom lip, fighting tears that are pooling in my eyes. I have failed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Story Rankings : #1 in #Sakura #1 in #SakuraHaruno #1 in #Shippuden #4 in #Akatsuki #1 in #Haruno #4 in #Konoha #71 in #Naruto

The Girl They Never Saw [Completed] by ohmyobsessions

[Completed] No one thought she would amount to anything. Sakura Haruno, the girl who came from a civilian family. Sakura Haruno, the average medic. Sakura Haruno, the pink-haired fangirl. Sakura, the weak. Sakura, the useless. Sakura, the girl they left behind. Sasuke Uchiha thought she was just another of his many fangirls. He thought she was the girl he knocked out and left on a park bench. He assumed she would be waiting for him when he came back. Naruto Uzimaki thought she was someone who needed protecting. He thought she couldn't keep up with him and Sasuke. He assumed that she wasn't capable of taking care of herself. Kakashi Hatake thought she was an average shinobi. Nothing special, no one to watch out for. He assumed that Sasuke and Naruto were more important. Tsunade Senju thought she was desperate. She thought that she needed training. She assumed that the girl would never excel in anything particular. Only Sakura knew the truth. She was a girl who had seen too much. She was a girl who had never lived up to her own expectations. She was a girl who pushed herself to the limit every single day. They underestimated her, and she destroyed them. Amazing cover and chapter headers by @RealityKeeper ❤️❤️❤️

What happens when a young (and bratty) girl's body is taken over by.... herself? Well, from the future. Konohagakure is in the midst of a deadly war with the one of the Legendary Sanin, Orochimaru. Things have taken a deadly turn and the village has gone under attack. Having no choice left, Tsunade, the Hokage of the Leaf, turns to Sakura as she is the last straw. Sakura, with no preparation whatsoever, is suddenly forced back in time in order to stop certain events from happening and save Konoha along with the other villages. Tense and scared (quite possibly unstable) inside this new world of responsibility, Sakura feels all alone on this mission- but she knows that she will have to take on the challenge. All of fate rests in her hands, can she change this timeline? [Sakura-centric story.] [Also main ship is SasuSaku (I will never have enough of them!!!)] ----------- Ranked #1 in SasuSaku sometime during 1/2020 Ranked #1 in SasuSaku again on 5/12/2021???! (I do not own the Naruto series! This is a story based on the franchise!)

highest rankings: #1 on sasukexsakura, #1 on sasusakufanfiction & #3 on nejiten Sakura Haruno comes back to her beloved home, Konoha, after moving on from her parent's death. She now attends Konoha High and had the pleasure of meeting new and old friends. They were such kind, funny people except for one. Sasuke Uchiha was an interesting person altogether which is why catching her eye wasn't so hard. Now that it was her senior year, she planned on rebuilding old friendships and creating new ones. Definitely not to form feelings for a certain rude, disinterested guy in her English class. That was never the plan. But plans change, can't they? And Sakura didn't mind adding 'get closer to Sasuke-kun' on top of everything on her livelihood to-do list. main shipping: sasusaku ships included in the story: naruhina, shikatema, nejiten, and (eventual) saiino [ The story starts off with Sakura's P.O.V then slowly turns into third person ] [ first chapter had been re-edited majorly unlike the others ]
