This is the only chapter I will put a disclaimer for. I like to believe that, this being , everyone is well aware that all of these stories are non-canon (being fanfiction works) and the canon characters and their stories are all owned by the creator.

Essentially, this is not necessarily a rewrite of Naruto, but rather, a rewrite of Sakura specifically. Kishimoto says that Sakura was based on what he figured a real girl would be like. I find that baffling, and frankly, even though she is Japanese, I have a hard time believing that this is the best Sakura could be. I saw a potential in Sakura's character that I'm sure other people saw as well, and I feel like there were plenty of opportunities for Sakura's character to make the changes she should have but still grow. Therefore, I hope that I can successfully paint Sakura out as I imagine, and hopefully, it'll be great.

"Everyone will review the transformation jutsu!" Iruka screamed, only to be greeted by the moans of all the students thrusting their skulls into the desk, no doubt.

A couple students took their turns transforming into something, and eventually, a pink haired little girl came to the center of the class. She stretched a bit, her joints cackling beneath her skin. "Alright, Sakura, here! Let's give it a go!" Bringing her hands together to do a few short signs, Sakura shouted, "Transformation Jutsu!"

Iruka found himself staring into his own eyes, and flabbergasted, he marked a check on his paper and dismissed her with a, "Good job." Sakura squealed, and glanced over to Sasuke. He was a charm, the living epitome of the sexy, dark and broody type. I wonder if Sasuke saw that?

Sasuke quietly took Sakura' s place at the center of the class. Effortlessly, he did the same as Sakura, and turned into another replica of Iruka, much to the teacher's discomfort. With a contorted face, reluctantly, he marked the check box. "O…OK…" He stammered.

The rest of the day breezed by in this pattern, and naturally, Sakura passed!

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Sakura squealed as she bounced on her heels. Amazing! She passed! Gurgling, she mumbled happily to herself, "Sakura Haruno is now on her way to the Road to Ninja!" Luckily, the learning of the jutsus that she needed to know to pass weren't hard at all! And even better -Sasuke passed, too!

She glanced over to other familiar faces that had passed right along with her. That plastic-blonde-b'tch Ino passed, as well as that super smart guy, Shikamaru -even though he's such a lazy, simple guy-And even that chubby kid that eats all the time. That timid girl with the blank eyes had seemingly passed also, followed by that guy and his puppy and the weird kid with a bug fetish. Perfect! No soul left behind!

But then, Sakura's eyes found themselves landing on the village delinquent…

Uzumaki, Naruto.

Every soul passed, but his.

It was today!

Really!

Sakura shot up from within her bed, and for a moment, her head began to sway. The moment it subsided, though, she found herself practically throwing herself back and forth across the room as she got herself ready. Today was orientation! Finally, she was gonna get places! She snatched her headband from off of the dresser, and stood in front of the mirror. She paused, and she stared at her reflection for a moment.

Sakura Haruno, of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Smiling, she began to hum to herself. Moving to tie the headband, she tried a few different looks. Around her waist, around her neck, covering her eyes a little, covereding her eyes a lot, covering one eye, covering the other, hm… Something just didn't look right to her.

Sakura tied it around her forehead. She stared at her new look for a while… But then, she pulled it loose. Her forehead was too big. It's already noticeable as it is, so she'd rather it not be anymore obvious. She then decided to tie it in her hair as if it were a plastic headband instead.

Better.

"Sakura! Get going!" Her mother's rumbling voice rushed up the stairs and into Sakura's room, the house vibrating a little. Sakura immediately growled, and looked towards the door.

"Sure, I was meaning to think of that!" She yelled sarcastically. CHYA! Why is she still talking to me like a little kid? I'm a ninja now! Growling once more, she looked back into the mirror with her sharp grassy eyes. She huffed.

She is no longer Sakura Haruno, of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

She is Sakura Haruno, Kunoichi of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

The teams had been chosen. Lucky, lucky, Sakura-chan!

Sasuke, and Sakura! Team 7 from here on out! But, there's just one minor set back. Sakura grudgingly glanced over to Naruto. Ugh… to be stuck with him, it must be fate… but then, she glanced back at Sasuke again. Then again… to be stuck with him, it must be fate! Cockily, she looked back at Ino with a coy grin. Watching Ino physically restrain herself from having an open meltdown was sooo fulfilling!

"Ino! Shikamaru! Chouji!"

Things just get better and better~!

Turning back around in her seat, Sakura continued grinning to herself. CHYA! The power of love's always so strong!

She couldn't wait for their very first mission together -her, and Sasuke!
