Alright, I'm just gonna pull myself together and throw this idea to the wolves.

I have been considering the idea of using this permanent mind transfer idea on Ino and Sakura due to an accident during the chunin exams.

Reasons:

- I will have a lot more canon plot to play with if I do

- Generally, people like having canon characters for the main cast. Also who doesn't like a Sakura that becomes a world-changing badass?

- I can still use Shikazu as a character in the Sakura fic, and he could still exist and play an interesting role. If people want him included, I will develop his backstory.

/\

The summary of the Ino-Sakura fic would probs be something like this:

Sakura gets a wake-up call in the form of another voice in her head, and the lifeless form of her rival. Life as a ninja just became a hell of a lot more complicated. Sakura-centric. AU.

Do you like this new idea, or is it the most ugly, hideous thing you have ever seen?

(And would you like Shikazu included?)

I will consider the responses and suggestions and go from there~

I will probably post my final decision in a week or so, so look out for it! :)
