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

Haunted By The Past
Sakura Haruno had heard nothing else but bad rumors and nasty things about her. What did she do wrong? Is there something wrong with this blessed kunoichi? Sasuke Uchiha left Konohagakure. Sakura promised herself that she will get him back, no matter what. She loved him too much to just let go. After exactly two and a half years, Naruto returned from his training. It was about three years when they haven't seen Sasuke. Naruto wasn't the only one who became powerful, but also Sakura. She changed. She was called weak, but now, she will never let them say that again. Never again. But as expected, they couldn't get Sasuke back. No matter what. The past haunts Sakura again. It brings her the memories. Is she still weak? No, yes, maybe? Is the reason why she can't get Sasuke back is because...she's still weak? Weak like before? Like in the past? She's.....haunted by the past. [[Better than it sounds!!!!!!! I freaking suck on writing descriptions. Never really like writing them lol. Anyway, this is probably pointing on SasuSaku, clear?

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.

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
