Hello everyone! Welcome to my second posted fanfiction! I am so excited to be writing this and getting the story out of my brain. The idea behind this story is that Sasuke and Sakura did not really have an actual relationship progression in the show in my opinion. It was nothing but unrequited feelings, then suddenly they are married with a child. This story is my own idea of how their relationship may have matured over time as they did.
There will be several Acts in this story, all within the timeline of the series and manga. They are as follows:
After Failed Mission to Retrieve Sasuke: Capture
Before Five Kage Sumit: Alone
Paradise Life on a Boat (232): Feelings
After the End End (Before Atonement): Forgiveness
Sakura Hidden: Love
Hidden: Fulfillment
Naruto Gaiden: Patience
Before Boruto: Attention
After Boruto: Resentment
After Boruto (Non Canon): Repentance
After Boruto (Non Canon): Promise
This fanfiction will explore some very dark concepts. Sasuke has been through terrible things that have distorted his reasoning. A person that is twisted that much would not have a normal, healthy relationship as long as their mind is muddled. As for Sakura, somewhere along the way, she grew up, but in the end, she decided to be with this twisted man. There had to be some reason she chose him still, and some reckoning as well for what he'd done. There will be triggers for some in this, and I will forewarn at the beginning of the chapter for those that contain them. If you don't like the things I will write about, please just don't read it.
Please review you guys. My other fanfic is just a long lemon, this is my first time attempting something with a storyline and plot so I will give it my very best.
So without further ado, let us begin.
I do not own Naruto nor its characters.
Please enjoy and review. Thanks for reading.
