Haruno Pride

by NatsNeko

Staying in Suna to heal, she finally leaves friends behind as she returns to her home in Konoha with Lady Tsunade and a family heirloom while on her ninja path. Strike quick and true, that is the Haruno way. ?/Saku BEING REWRITTEN Formerly known as A Flower In the Sand

14. UPDATE

UPDATE

I bet you all thought I was here with an ACTUAL update for your guys. Sorry; but there are no updates here! I'm actually here to let you know what the progress is when it comes to my stories. First and foremost, I have been extremely busy. Like the whole almost 40 hours of working a week busy. Secondly, college is starting up so I'll be busy that way, and finally, I desperately need a new computer, but I am currently using my brothers as he has so graciously allowed me to do.

I started this story [WAS A Flower in the Sand] back in '09 when I was about 15/16. Needless to say, at 19 going on 20, my grammar, spelling, and basically WORDS in general have developed and curved into a writing style that I am particularly fond of. So, I will be REWRITING this story since it is one of my favorites.

It's now called Haruno Pride, and I've implemented a lot of different things within the first chapter [which has already been rewritten] and I'm in the process of rewriting the second chapter. Some of the things I'll be doing different wise, as you will read in the first chapter, are I'm talking more about Sakura's parents [named Katsu and Momo now], I added some odd trivia about the Haruno clan that is of my own design, and I've added an item that Sakura will treasure always that has been passed down from her parents.

I also realized that while going through, Sakura seemed to easily accept Tsunade-sama as her mother and completely forgot about her family. In this rewrite, that is certainly not the case. She's also going to be a slight more focused on her vengeance, but unlike Sasuke, she knows her limits and she knows that she'll have to work with her mentor/surrogate mother to get stronger by natural means. Especially since she has friends and somewhat family to worry about.

I'm not exactly sure about editing the latest two chapters, but I will be keeping up all the chapters until I edit them for mine/your sake since I don't have the docs on my older computer anymore, and perhaps new people will want to follow the story. Thank you so much for keeping up with Haruno Pride [formerly A Flower in the Sand], and I'll have that second chapter rewrite up for you guys as soon as I can.

After I'm certain that most of the people have read this [and possibly when I rewrite up to the third chapter] I will be deleting this update just to remove the clutter from my story. Thank you guys.
