She had to run from her past, but what exactly would wait for her in her future?

Sakura, not willing to leave those dear to her, goes to rescue them. After which she discovers Tsunade is not going to just leave her be, but the apprentice doesn't plan to let her kindness be smothered out. Abandoning her home wasn't her original plan.

Sakura
Haruno Sakura comes from powerful family, each and every member of it being famous in some oarts of the world. But she is the last one alive. She has seen a lot of things, during her life, death, betrayal and pain. But that doesn't mean that she gives up, instead she goes on and stays as cheerful as a person can be. ~~~~ Okay, i suck at description, but the story isnt as crappy as it. No massacre, Naruto's parents are alive, Itachi is still in the Akatsuki and in the story some things will be different, like ages for example. And Pedo-Snake (aka Orochimaru) isn't traitor or the bad guy. (I actually like him, lol)Complete

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 #NarutoComplete![•Weak• [Sakura Haruno]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/247899044-256-k406714.jpg)

"Your annoying Sakura." It was simply a sentence but it hurts. "Sakura-chan! Don't worry when I come back I'll protect you." Stop. "Ma,this won't work on you Sakura." Please,stop it. "Forehead,why don't you just stay at home? You can't even kill a bug." Right,i forgot. "Your weak,Sakura." The pink haired kunoichi stared at the sky blankly,not noticing the fallen tear on the side of her eyes.

The Girl They Never Saw [Completed]
[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 ❤️❤️❤️Complete
Sakura's Rise
Abandoned by her team, Sakura Haruno finds comfort and support from the most unlikely source. With growing feelings, Sakura is forced into a tense situation when her team returns four years later. She must choose between being happy or tearing a family apart. Her choice leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouth but none have the chance to try and fix it. When pushed into a corner, a rat will always bite to survive. Sakura found this out the hard way. When you bury something, you expect it to stay buried. This was not the case for Itachi Uchiha who had more than a few secrets buried. With the only choice he ever wanted in life taken away from him, he wanted nothing more to join his buried love. That was until the dead came back to haunt him. Author Note: Uchiha massacre never happened. Sasuke and Itachi are 3 years apart. Orochimaru attacked but did not give Sasuke the curse mark. This story will not be based on the Naruto timeline. If you do not like the pairing or how I write it then do not leave a hate comment, just stop reading. I own nothing but the storyline or OC created for this story. I own no art and only edit the pictures together for the stories I writeComplete
