Summary
"Sarutobi, Minato has personal strength, but he's soft, even softer than you. He could never keep the village strong, and we would end up in a perpetual war because of it."
With these words, Danzou convinced the Third Hokage of who his successor as the Fourth should be.
Now, the next generation must keep Konoha the strongest village, able to dominate and control its neighbors with impunity, whatever harsh methods of teaching are required, whatever mad experiments and modifications are needed on those lacking the inherent strength to protect the will of Fire.
Those like one Haruno Sakura.

Summary
To graduate the Academy, prospective shinobi must pass the Genin Exams.
For most, like Uchiha Sasuke, the son of the most important shinobi in the village, it’ll be easy. For him, it’s not a question of passing, but how many colors he can fly with.
For others, like orphan Naruto, its either pass or get some job moving boxes around for a general store.
For Civilian-born Haruno Sakura, it’s life or death in the most literal sense of the phrase.
When the three’s paths converge before a fisherman that might be a nukenin and a river full of corpses, unlikely alliances are struck, uprisings set fire to the streets, and when even family fails, the only thing left might be the power of friendship.
***
How long ago had the exam started? A minute? Two?
She was going to die.
It struck her harder this time, somehow. The thought had been occurring to her all morning. For her entire life since that first day she entered the Academy, but it had always been a nagging feeling. A small weight, like a particularly heavy scarf.
The scarf had cinched into a noose. She still couldn’t breathe. She was going to die.

I Wanted a Peaceful Life in the Shinobi World. So What?! by STARFanfiction_Hisa (STARPokemon), STARPokemon

Summary
Hisa Sato had everything perfectly figured out.
Her life in Konoha was going exactly according to blueprint. She successfully graduated dead-last at the Academy, mastered the art of looking profoundly exhausted, and perfected a slouch that made her physically invisible to anyone seeking a capable ninja. With her midnight-blue hair casually tied back in half-braids and her dark purple eyes permanently set to a sleepy glaze, she was on the fast track to a cozy, zero-risk career in civilian inventory management. Her retirement plan of continuing her parents restaurant was practically signed, sealed, and delivered.
Everything was perfect and good in her life... until she got assigned to Team 7.
Instead of sorting kunai in a quiet warehouse, Hisa is dragged across borders with a hyperactive blond walking-disaster who treats his life like a tragic main-character monologue, a brooding Uchiha prodigy with a serious attitude problem, a pink haired fangirl, and a lazy, silver-haired captain who knows way too much about the village penal code.
She just wanted a peaceful life in the shinobi world. So what?!

Summary
Ten years after the wedding of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen, the ancestral home of the Targaryen family has been flourishing under the leadership and protection of its Lady Paramount and her steadfast Lord Consort.
The true dragons have thrived without the chains of King's Landing and are joined in the skies by their many hatchlings - children who only know love and support from their large family. They have two grandsires in the form of Ser Harrold and Ser Ben; an uncle to play with in Arthur Arryn; a fun Aunt in Alyssa Targaryen and her chaos twins as cousins; and the grumpy Archmaester Vaegon and kind Rhaella to teach them.
Everything was peaceful... until King Viserys I Targaryen decided to visit Dragonstone in an attempt to bring his family together.
--
The King and his family show up unannounced on Dragonstone only to find themselves unwelcomed and surrounded by dragons who do not forget and who have certainly not forgiven them.

Summary
She ignored the small voice in her head that kept telling her she wasn't doing it for her family, but for selfish reasons.
Because she didn't want to give up her first friend. Because she could even, maybe! Be send on missions with her.
The fantasy of what would happen if maybe she didn't retire and stayed on a genin team. Was sent with Ino and came home with her, stayed unspoken and tucked safely into a small part of her brain she didn't like to think about.~
4 year old Sakura makes a decision - when Ino, her best friend, will join the Academy, so will she.
And she will be strong enough to be send out with her on missions.
That means dedication, and learning- things that came easy to her anyways.Bookmarked by Yakuru
