Summary
“You’re not my father.”
“I know that. Do you know that?”
Sakura’s laugh was cruel at the edges, “My father would have wept if he knew what I had done for this country.”
She tilted her head over her shoulder to look at him, a rueful look painted across her face. Genma missed her smile. “I see no tears in your eyes. So, yes. I know you’re not my father.”
***
Sweet little clanless Haruno Sakura, with her exotic pink hair and alluring jade eyes.
What do you think the Hokage saw in her? A little girl graduating, ready for D-ranks? Or a tool to be used for the betterment of Konoha? A child no one would notice the absence of.
This is the version of Sakura that got pulled into the dark too soon because she was just Haruno Sakura, from a no-name civilian merchant clan, with no connections other than the ones she burned away for the affections of a boy who would never love her. A tool to be used.
For Konoha.

Summary
When Sakura realizes that playing little girl and flunking combat training had probably been a gross miscalculation on her part, she’s stranded in a rickety home in a run down country with an unconscious sensei. Sakura isn’t sure if she can make up for that mistake before it kills her or her team but she sure as hell will give it her best shot.
She really couldn’t have known that falling victim to Hatake Kakashi’s unique attempts at teaching would open up another can of worms entirely.

Summary
Every ninja comes from somewhere. Sometimes they make themselves out of nothing. And sometimes they are shaped by forces they cannot escape. In which the Haruno are also a clan and nothing will ever be the same.

Summary
It is two years after the Fourth Shinobi War and the world is finally settling down. Sakura’s life has also fallen into a steady routine of hospital shifts and increasing responsibilities, with a stability she hasn’t been afforded since her early genin days.
She should have known better than to think it would last.

Summary
Nakairi (中入り): when the performers step behind the curtain or set between the first and second half of a play to changes masks or costumes. Similar to an interval, intermission, or an entre'act.
"The interval is a rest for the spectators; not for the action," - Jean-François Marmontel, 1763
Just because most of Team 7 is gone, off striving for newer and greater heights, that doesn't mean the world stops for Haruno Sakura. In a world where she doesn't apprentice to the Godaime Hokage (can't, won't, what difference does it make when the result is the same?) her desperation leads her to a different solution: keeping Team 7 alive, anyway she can. Whether Kakashi-sensei wants her to or not.
Also known as: Sakura's World Tour.

Summary
Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa.
The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked.
When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good.

Summary
"Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”
OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.
OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

Summary
Su-won is dying.
He has been dying his whole life. He has been dying since he was born to the line of Hiryuu. He has been dying since he was six years old, since he was nine, since the death of his father, since his mother first looked at him with fear. He has been dying since the Crimson Dragon King’s soul abandoned his family, since the day he first killed a man. The blood had been as red as Yona’s hair as it dried on his hands and face. How appropriate, for Hiryuu’s descendants to finally be red.
(AKA: Su-won, his own mortality, and the loss of the only two people that ever kept him sane.)

The ‘blossoms’ of the Flower District who have no family name of their own are given the name Haruno. Sakura may not know exactly who her parents are but she has an idea of her ancestry. To be fair, Mokuton is kind of a big hint.

Summary
Some would say that the Uchihas are cursed by hatred, but Uchiha Hinode has a different kind of curse - the Deadly Nanny Curse.
“Take care of your bother,” her mother says to Hinode’s, then dies.
“Take care of Kakashi,” Sakumo says to Hinode, then dies.
“Take care of my baby,” Kushina says to Hinode, then dies.
Thus begins a story of a girl's lifelong journey of becoming the ultimate mother hen of Konoha village. And through her trials, she gains unbreakable friendships and love from one shinobi who was willing to carry any of her extra baggage.
Hatake Kakashi, a genius shinobi with mastery of a thousand Jutsu, thus becomes the involuntary dad of Konoha village. As if he wasn’t busy enough with his life.
