    Summary

    Before the moon could fall and the world could burn, Sakura Haruno walked away.

    Disillusioned by the Hidden Leaf’s politics and the slow rot of the Council, Sakura didn't just go to find Sasuke—she went to replace his master. Now, the Hidden Sound is no longer a den of snakes, but a rising superpower built on the resonance of the discarded and the betrayed.

    As the Otokage, Sakura is doing the impossible: she reached into the darkness of the reaper to reclaim the legends of the Whirlpool and the Flame. From the obsidian canyons of her sanctuary, Sakura is pulling the red threads of fate tight. She will protect her family, she will heal her kin, and she will show the Five Great Nations that the loudest sound in the world is the one that breaks a cycle of hatred.

    The war isn't coming. The Resonance is already here.

    I like the start of this. Sakura outgrows Konoha, leaves with Shikamaru, Neji and Hinata, becomes Otokage at Orichimaru's request. She builds an empire and becomes a BAMF. Konoha gets called out for neglect/abuse of its Shinobi. Akatsuki join her in Sound one at a time. Alliances. Return to Konoha, bring down Danzo, attack by Cloud and Stone.

    AI assisted writing? The agreement with Pein about the Akatsuki taking turns visiting then joining is familiar and there are occasional continuity issues. There's also moments where the character speaking references moments that they weren't there for. - i.e. Shisui saving her on the bridge in Wave instead of Kakashi.

    Massive AU. Minato and co live, no massacre. Polyamorous relationships amongst the adults (Namikaze/Nara household specifically) and blatant nepotism. Naruto and Sasuke grow up as brothers and are shit teammates. Kakashi is blatantly sabotaging Sakura to get her off the team and replaced with Sai (helped by Rin)(some bloodline bullshit excuse for his instincts). Sakura is strong and smart, top of her class and serious about being a Shinobi. Story essentially starts at the Chunnin exams and the boys informing her she’s being dropped. They get their asses kicked by Orochimaru, Sakura rescues them and hauls them around, meets up with an injured Ino and agrees to help team 10 (all boys are unconscious). Shikamaru wakes up and realizes Sakura is protecting them all and gets all moon eyed. Sakura takes down team 8 and kills the Otto team. Make it to tower. Injured. Boys apologize but… not great. Lots of adult POVs throughout. Sakura kicks ass in the prelims. Up against Shikamaru in stage 3. Interview with Minato about lack of training (Kakashi and Rin are in trouble), Danzou hovering around, Genma is her new sensei. Friendship with and Lee. Root spying at night, Sakura is staying with Genma (and most of team Ro) for the time being. Kakashi is at least remorseful but ordered to stay away for now. Training with (adopted by) team Ro. Tenzou finds out about Mokuton, explains his history as much as he can and tells her to keep it a secret for now. Sakura save Hayate from the attack, identifies Kabuto, warns Hokage. Shikamaru is fully obsessed and Sakura is oblivious. Chunin exam invasion, Sakura takes out a full squad (8 Chunin/Jounin) to protect the boys but nearly killed in the process. Orichimaru escapes, Minato survives, lots dead. Sakura’s parents killed by Root in the chaos. Tenzou is helping her hide the truth about her mother (originally from Mist, probable bloodline limit, related to Mei?) for now but plan to tell Genma soon. Tsunade told about her Mokuton, plans to claim Sakura as her heir but it comes with conditions - at least 2 kids, no marrying into other clans, carry on the legacy, etc. Trade off is she would be protected as would Genma and Co because clan law demands they keep her secrets. Sakura agrees, Genma is told everything, move in to the compound. Drops the adoption news on the council.

    Summary

    The Fourth Ninja War ended a while ago. Sakura and Kakashi go on a mission together. Something happens that changes their relationship.

    But before they can come to terms with it, they're sent on another mission. And they have to pretend to be lovers.

    It's a sticky situation. Sakura can't keep herself from spiralling further. Kakashi is no help.

    It's a classic case of will they won't they.

    ((This fic is finally nearing its end and I cannot believe it! I abandoned it so many times and then finally picked it up this year. Really just happy I got it finishing it six years after I started.))

    Summary

    Uchiha Itachi was admired by everyone and truly known by no one - until Sakura Haruno stopped caring about the Uchiha mystique entirely. Now, the girl who once faded into the background has become the only person capable of pulling him out of the shadows. Non-massacre AU. Rated M.

    31/

    Sakura (16) sent back to the 3rd war and dropped in Sasori's (15) lap. Tells him the truth, agrees to stay with him and keep him human and grounded. They plan for her to return to Suna with him as his wife, a Uzushio refugee to explain her training and abilities. They get close as they travel, come across an invading army attacking a settlement, kick ass and draw a lot of attention. Kazekage (3rd) shows up with Rasa and an army only to find the opposing army has retreated (or been killed). Explanation time.
