Summary
Chakra was extraordinary at making the impossible possible. At least that is how those who were not trained in the arts viewed the work of shinobi. Chakra was incredible and fearsome. It allowed people to become stronger, manipulate the elements, and even heal people. There was only one thing it was never capable of doing. It was a common consensus throughout the elemental nations that nothing and no one could bring back the dead.
Sakura takes memorizing a few hand signs to another level and then improves upon it.

Summary
Sakura, who is made up of all of what makes Konoha Konoha, is a disturbing thing. She is rotten and corrupt and a liar and the blood in her teeth will always linger on her tongue. Blood tastes like metal, did you know? Sakura grits her teeth and forces herself to age like a human girl does. Sakura Haruno is no paragon, no, she is divine and all divine things are made of rotting. But still, she bears the corruption like a shinobi. Like a godling.
For Sasuke, she will say right now, so unsure of her nonexistent humanity. For Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, and every other loved one she’ll gather, she’ll say later and her false human skin cracking.
Humanity is a scarce thing for gods.
(Or: Sakura is Konoha, and despite this she tries to learn how to love a boy and how to become human. One step at a time.)

Summary
He graduated from the Academy at the age of five. Made Chūnin at the age of six. Promoted to Jōnin at ten. By thirteen he’d earned his bingo book entry, his ANBU tattoo and the moniker Copy Nin (Friend Killer).
By fourteen he had lost everyone who had ever mattered to him.
And now at fifteen he’s being told that he is a father.
Like most things on that list, it was being thrust upon him. Unasked for. Unwanted. Albeit quietly, reluctantly, from the somber arms of a girl he didn’t remember from a night he couldn’t remember– one of an endless string of nights that he could not remember.Kakashi is Sakura's father.
For twelve years he gets to forget that fact.
The past always has a way of catching up.Bookmarked by Flippants

Summary
The view looked different from Charon’s raft.
The other shore was drawing ever closer, and Sakura… watched it happen. She was done fighting. The end of the war simply meant the end for her.
Konoha was rebuilding, she was un-building. No one realised she was sinking, the water slowly crawling past her lips.
Then the unlikeliest person went and made it his business.
Couldn’t he just let her sink in peace?
