Ryuu Uchiha has no god. The Sage of the Six Paths was family after all, the Uchiha clan his direct descendants. The Uchiha were superior to all.

His daughter was blind. Even though she spent a lot of her time babbling around, her eyes were always calm, moving but unseeing. The doctors tried to reassure him at first, her eyes were after all perfectly healthy. Chakra block, one of them said. And with that Shin went to the iryo-nin of Konoha.

Ryuu's fate was made before she was born. Her father had wanted a boy, and so like a boy she was treated. As "a boy" from the Uchiha clan she was to be a shinobi. And as a shinobi she was to be killed (not that she remembered that).
But between her first training at 3 years old and her death a lot passed. A lifetime you could say.

As the son of a blacksmith he often went to Konoha. However, it was the first time that he went to the hospital (there was no need of an hospital for a small village like his). If the outside of the building presented a strict and calm feeling, the inside was frenetic. You could see the medics going left and right, always moving, always healing, never stopping. Their eyes were a paradox, clouded and keen, anxious and calm. Sometimes they would stop as a sharp sound will resonate, all tension will live their body, eyes will be cleared, but only for a heartbeat. Then they would begin again, always moving, head injuries before broken bones, left to right, bleeding before burning, never stopping.

Ryuu could say that her life began when she received her Sharingan. But she was a living, breathing thing before that, and as such you would want to know what she was like.
Before her Sharingan, Ryuu had been average, not good, but the "could kill some Senjus and last long enough to come back and be healed" average. But as an Uchiha Ryuu could not be average, as an important Uchiha, Ryuu was to be the best. Needless to say, it couldn't always be like that. Her taijutsu was good, above average, but there wasn't any strength, and her ninjutsu consisted only of her clan technique that she learned since she could walk. There was something missing. Ryuu needed to be completed. Her Sharingan, her precious and lovely red eyes, did that. So Ryuu lived.

The man in front of him was tall, taller than him by a few inches. His eyes were as black as an Uchiha and his brown hair was restrained in a humble bun. He looked very feminine for the trait of his face were delicate. He would have been very handsome and easily forgettable … if a long scar did not run over his jaw. It started from his right ear and finished his course in the centre of his shin. It was a smooth straight line, made in one swift, without hesitation.
" Yamamoko Iroua. Are you Haruno-san?"
So, trusting, Shin gave him his beautiful daughter.

Ryuu liked to think that she had been respected. The true was a bit more complicated. As a woman, the other girls stared with awe and confusion. As a warrior, the other shinobi's eyes were trusting and afraid. As a Sharingan wielder, her father was proud. As a genjutsu master, they glanced at her twice.
Genjustu was something that the Sharingan was good at, the natural ability to control someone and their excellent eye sight let every Uchiha able to be better than the rest of the world. The rest of the clan was happy with that, there was no need to go farther. But in genjutsu Ryuu saw her purpose. And while they were happy with being better, she became the best. Able to trap squadron of ninja with genjutsu that seemed so real, Ryuu had been feared and adored in the battlefield.
The problem came when her genjutsu healed.

"…She wasn't born like that, you know. That's why I still have hope. When she didn't cry at birth the doctor panicked and pushed chakra on her system, as it's used to do. They don't really know what happened, afterwards, just that her chakra began to move on its own. They are civilian doctors and don't really understand chakra, only the procedure. So here I am."
Shin didn't know if the doctor was listening. His hand glowing a soft pale green, the same shade as his daughter's eyes. Black onyx orbs met his.
"Move on its own?"
"That's what they told me." Shin didn't understand, wasn't everyone able to do that? Even he, a simple civilian could instinctually move his chakra (not that it would bring any result).
"A new-born chakra is too weak for that; the vessels are still too new. But… you daughter's chakra seems to be digging new vessels."
XxX
She remembered the first time that she "died". It had been on accident that she "survived". Her genjutsu always seemed so real and sometimes she was sure that she saw some cuts. Her mind supplied that it was impossible, but her pride cheered of her. What could go wrong ? Stop the pain from going to her brain? She refused to die here. She refused to die.
Izanagi
That's what she had called it. Her sacrifice, her creation. Ryuu had lost one eye, but she became one of the gods.
XxX
The iryo-nin eyes were wide open, focused on his daughter with a strange glint in them. He didn't seem to sense Shin uneasiness and continued to talk.
"… I have never seen something like this! I don't know what it's doing, there a mix of healing chakra and something else in there. This creation of vessel is something that you see during pregnancy! I"
Needless to say, that Shin and his daughter came every week to the hospital.

Ryuu lived as a goodness among the Uchiha. She had been revered and her prowess in battle had been song at every victory. But she hadn't been satisfied. She was missing an eye after all, she wanted it back. They proposed theirs, ready to let it out of their sockets for her but she was above that. Then he died and they turned toward her. Couldn't she bring him back? Bring them all back? Gone was the awe. They wanted it, her Sharingan, even though it was as red as theirs, his two tomoe circling always moving. She had to close another eye, this time, but her Sharingan would still be here when she will come back.

At five years old, Sakura Haruno stared at her reflection, her blindness finally gone. Her pink hair, her fair skin but green eyes. A tear fell from her eye before rage overcame her features. She swore revenge.
I will have them back.
Hi! So, I came back with this story. I really waited a long time because I wasn't sure so tell me what you think! I just want to say that Sakura won't be overpowered, as you saw Ryuu had been perfectly normal before having the Sharingan (I really see it as a cheat trick ^^'). Even with the Sharingan, you only see the POV of Ryuu on her own life and being an Uchiha she was sure to be prideful, even more before Konoha. Also for those who see my other story, I try my best to keep to different Sakuras, this one being Ryuu in her mind so older than normal, also being an Uchiha and motivated by anger. This Sakura will be ambitious, manipulative and power hungry. So if you see some similarities between the two tell me ! I would be really happy to hear from you !
