A pair of lifeless, emerald eyes stared down at the bodies on the ground. The devastation of the surrounding area became a common sight ever since they started arriving in this dimension.

Countless lives were lost and many bloods were shed to cover the earth in red.

"Do you wish to change this world?" The words whispered so softly, but it sounded to be spoken by the thousands who laid forever still.

"Yes." No hesitation, no thought.

"There must be an exchange. What is your offer?" The voice of millions asked.

A small pause, a hesitation. "My future for theirs."

The whispers grew louder until it sounded as if all the dead were screaming.

The words continued to be repeated. "The offer…..Future for theirs….the offer…future over theirs…"

As if it was an eternity, two words were said softly, "Offer accepted."

With those words being said, pale hands reached out from behind. The left covering the eyes and the right hand was placed over where the heart was.

Lips ghosted over light tan skin. As if a puppet, the two bodies spoke in synch; one having the voice of millions, the other the voice of despair and dashed hopes.

"Power shall be granted,

To right what has been wronged.

The eyes with the power of the gods forsaken,

With the heart of guidance.

The one with no fate.

The one whose books of life are filled with blank pages.

The one who is all,

But is truly no one.

You have been chosen."

As if the dead bodies didn't exist and the war never happened, the air became peaceful and still.

At the first sunrise of peace, the scene that the surviving allied forces arrive upon was horrifying.

In a certain part of the battlefield only contained a single person. As if the bodies of the dead were sacrificed for a single being.

A tall, tan-skinned male with sun-kissed locks and deep, ocean eyes flickered in front of the lone figure.

Worried eyes changed into shock, horror, sadness, and lastly, disbelieve.

"Sakura-chan.." he whispered, unable to believe the sight in front of him.

Dull, pink hair with splashes of red, healthy tan skin was now an ashy pale color, and clothes that were organized and pristine contained rips and missing parts.

She sat on her legs, with her arms limp at her sides and her face looking up at the sky.

But, what shocked the boy, no man now, was the empty eye sockets and a gaping hole where the heart was.

"No….nononono! Naruto screamed out, as his hands reached out, cupping Sakura's face gently. His hands shook.

"Mama!" A young teen cried out, a mixture of red and black blur passed the group of Hokage guards, landing next to the Hokage.

Tears fell down her eyes, as she stared at the woman who raised her. She fell down to her knees and hugged Sakura's midsection.

The other shinobis who followed him stared at the scene in pain and remorse. None of them are able to believe what has happened to the pink-haired medic-nin.

But, it was inevitable due to the war. Though the cause of death was unforeseen.

I have always loved Sakura since I was maybe 6 - 8. I didn't understand why people are always bashing on her. Compared to the others in Konoha 11, she doesn't come from a clan, doesn't have a Kekkai Genkai, or a tailed beast inside of her. (Though, I can't say the same for TenTen since it isn't clear where she comes from, but is highly likely comes from a Civilian or Merchant family. Though, there's a chance she's an orphan. )

But, Sakura (and TenTen) has been able to become very powerful without having those. She was able to make a name for herself and I believe that even if she didn't ask Tsunade, she would have found another way to become stronger. For me, with her chakra control, Kishimoto could've made her become more well-equipped in other types of fighting styles, not just taijutsu and healing.

For example, in her profile, under the lists of jutsu she uses, she doesn't use Chakra Scalpel. In fact, she mainly uses her strength in battle.

Additionally, her intelligence. There were moments where it shined, but the majority of the time, it didn't.

Also, they say that she surpassed Tsunade, but in the stats books, Sakura's current points are 26 while Tsunade is 35. While, I know that doesn't necessarily mean that she hasn't surpassed Tsunade, but it just shows how there are parts where she could improve on, like Stamina, Speed, and Ninjustu. Though, what I'm surprised on is that she has a 3 in Taijutsu and Strength.

A 3!

What's your opinion on what Sakura should've been like? Like, do you think Kishimoto underrated her?
