During the mission to Wave, Sakura realises that she has to become a better ninja for her teammates' sake and be someone they can depend on. She vows to take her training seriously, and receives help from the most unlikely of sources; Genma Shiranui. The two form an unlikely bond and stick together through thick and thin, while Sakura improves and meets other people along the way.

A divergence after Blackwater.

Then the smell hit her. All alphas, every one of them. A stifling cacophony of masculine scents rushed into her lungs, making her knees buckle before she steadied herself. The silver haired man smirked as if he knew what she was thinking. "Yeah, we're fucking hot." He said smugly. "Even betas love the smell."

Shot backwards in time, Sakura finds herself in an unfamiliar land where she begins to, unwittingly, make a reputation for herself. Desperate to find her way home, she makes a deal which may change her life, and the future, forever.

Sakura you are being sent undercover to capture Uchiha Itachi, and any other Akatsuki you come into contact with, while on your mission. Ha. Yeah right, just let me get my big net and ass kicking boots...What do you mean when you say 'Disguised as a cat?

Sakura takes a nap and when she awakens...things are not quite as she left them. SakuIta, SakuKaka

When first he laid eyes upon her, he thought her the very personification of spring. He watches, from the depths of shadow; waiting to steal her away from the land of the living. Waiting to make her Queen of the Dead. Hades/Persephone retold. SasuSaku.

Ingredients: A delicate flower and a headstrong general. Procedure: Combine ingredients in one palace, add murder plots and power struggles. Shake vigorously for best results. Itasaku.

Sakura grows up in a shinobi household. Haunted by a broken father, she ends up on Team 7 a different person.

It's time to stop waiting for other people to save you. A story about fear, resilience, and Sakura.

Mulan wasn't supposed to be discovered as a woman in the Imperial Army. Her life wasn't supposed to be spared and she wasn't supposed to go home dishonored. Shan Yu wasn't supposed to survive the avalanche and he wasn't supposed to take over China. Clearly, fate had other plans for the two... and it all revolved around revenge, obsession, a girl and a mountain. Implied rape.

Sakura sees dead people. Well, two dead people to be exact. Everything changes. Sakura-centric. Indra/Sakura/Ashura

Genma takes a very handsy, very drunk Ino home to NOT sleep with her. Yet. (GenIno)

AU non-massacre. Because they said that the best relationships are the ones you never saw coming. ItaSaku.

"Give me one good reason I should wear a dress." In which Kakashi and Sakura go on a very entertaining mission. Kakasaku. Originally posted on Tumblr.

She thought they were all dead, but one by one the deceased members of the Akatsukie start showing up on her doorstep, whether she wants them to or not.

[KakaSaku] – Sometimes the biggest most unexpected changes can be brought about by the simplest things.

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were not in fact the only rookies in that year. This genin was going to be normal, emotionally well-balanced and happy if it killed her. Which, in Konoha, was almost a statistical certainty.

Kakashi suspected that Sakura was writing Icha Icha fanfiction. And if she was the author… and she was pairing Junko with her former teacher… well, that had some very interesting implications. (For KakaSaku Month 2018: 3 A.M. Prompt)

Sakura had always known that Sasuke was going to be her alpha. Or at least she had thought. When Sasuke's rejection of her leaves her heartbroken, Sakura dedicates her life to becoming a medical ninja and shoves aside any lingering hope that she would one day find her mate. Until a chance encounter changes her and her life forever. A/O/B dynamics

Everything ends, eventually. Eight years after the war, Sakura's unhinged and Sasuke's obsessed. The fields are filled with corpses. AUish, canon-divergent, Sakura-centric.

AU. She was the most sought-after demoness at court, but no suitor could conquer her. He was only trying to feed his family when his stray arrow felled a mythical beast. A kind-hearted man. A fierce lady. A romance told in bits and pieces. Genderbent SK. COMPLETE.

The Fourth Shinobi World War had come to a close with one final battle hanging over the horizon. Weary from constant exposure to death, Sakura sought the one thing her heart desired most: to fight beside her boys. But an errant jutsu throws her plans for a loop and catapults her to a land where demons roam free and shinobi don't exist. There has to be a way to get back, but how?

Haruno Sakura used to think the eyes were the windows to the soul, but after witnessing the horrors of the Sharingan firsthand, she's convinced they are the doors. ItaSaku. Nonmass. Rated T (subject to change)

Professional. Intelligent. Intuitive. Haruno Sakura is the assistant every boss wants. She is smart, she is capable, and she is experienced. Operating with her own hard and fast rules, Sakura has one, very important personal rule. Never fall in love with your boss. However, being indispensable to Uchiha Itachi will put that rule under heavy duress. AU. [COMPLETE]!

"It was your plan to die, was it not? Since you want death so badly, I'm unwilling to reward you with it." Sakura is sent back in time by the Rabbit Goddess as her punishment for trying to kill her and to possibly finally let Kaguya's family, at least her grandson, enjoy a piece of happiness. Unwilling to fall in love with Madara, she had her memories taken away. Time travel AU

Hinata's clan was attacked and she now travels masked as a slave girl. With her company killed and captured she is thrown at the feet of her enemy's camp, Suna, and must now deal with their ruthless, blood-lusting, red-haired commander. What happens when he decides not to kill this girl and strange feelings begin melting his cold heart? GaaraHina.

In the midst of all Hayako's screaming, there stood Itachi, a sleepy look in his eyes, towel on his shoulder, and what smelled like a cup of tea in his hand. He reached out towards Hinata, placing a kiss on her forehead. "You look exhausted. Leave."

It wasn't supposed to be like this. She was only supposed to go back five minutes in time. Instead, Sakura wakes up in a dark room surrounded by people wearing black cloaks with red clouds on them. The worst part? She doesn't have a clue who she is.

Fuko, a full-blooded inu youkai of mysterious origins, encounters the great Lord Sesshomaru while searching for clues to her lineage. He decides to claim her as his mate, but how will that be possible when she doesn't know the meaning of the word—and when she doesn't like him all that much to boot? Sesshomaru/OC

A week long pre-wedding celebration turns into something unexpected for two of the guests. Old friends, rivalries, and romance blend together for an eventful ceremony. Sasuke x Hinata along with some side pairings . Modern Day AU.

Kagome had no idea she had been claimed from the very beginning, nor the depth of the request she made of Inuyasha. How could a human ever grasp the intricacies of pack politics and the reason why Sesshomaru was so intent on obtaining Tessaiga? The off-limits girl knew not of her situation, but soon, she would. (HIATUS!)

When the Uchiha clan invades the Haruno village, they seek the daughter of the infamous Blossom Bandit in retribution for her crimes. Sakura struggles to protect her village while simultaneously trying to avoid being captured by the Uchiha. Before she knows it, she is caught between the perils of society's warring caste system. Pseudo-feudal era AU. SakuraxUchiha.

In which Sakura just wants to be a normal college girl for once and party while Kakashi is trying to save a botched assassination..and failing miserably. Or, the time Kakashi realizes that he should have retired a long time ago. ModernAU

Konoha and Iwa sign a truce and agree to an Exchange Program between recently promoted genin to "bolster village relations." Fortunately, if anything were to go wrong, Haruno Sakura was just average enough to risk losing.

CU. More than Sesshoumaru's pride took a blow when he lost his arm. He's in a delicate position... and desperate enough to seek the advice of a self-proclaimed expert. A clumsy romantic adventure told in 100-word snippets.

The door to his right is wide open. If he pokes his head in and makes eye contact, however, she'll misunderstand and think he's waiting for her. Hell no. Bakugou Katsuki doesn't wait for people; it's just casual coincidence that they bump into each other and slide into training once in a while. Or everyday after school. And maybe some weekends too.

An annoyed witch unwillingly caught in the middle of a long-standing conflict between a frustrating warlock and a creepy, evil mage. At least the flying castle is pretty cool. [SasoSaku]

A terrible book series might be Sakura's only chance to save Kakashi's life.

Because every ninja comes from somewhere. Lacking a presence in any ninja village, the Haruno are a clan just the same. Beholden to the traditions of her family, Sakura is changed, as are Team Seven's dynamics. What will become of them?

When put in trying conditions, will they be able to adapt? Or will they give in to coercion? Kisame and Sakura. Rated M for language, violence, sexuality.

After the Forest of Death, Sakura comes to realize that being weak is no longer an option. However, she finds that change is sometimes painful and that truth doesn't always come easy. Luckily, she'll have some help along the way.

One falling chunk of space metal later and priorities everywhere had been reduced to simply surviving to see tomorrow, and hoarding the last of the toilet paper. Easier said than done in a bunker full of Akatsuki. With the resident Blue Fish and the filthy Leaf traitor, Itachi Uchiha, as Sakura's only allies, the future was looking rather grim. Hold onto your limes and Vitamin D.

Always the Team Mom, Sakura opens up her home as a clinic for the hospital-phobic ninja of Konoha. At the same time, her relationship with Kakashi begins to evolve in a way she never expected. M for swearing and later content.

The well was supposed to be stable. It was supposed to send her to Inuyasha. And it failed. Now, Kagome's even farther into the past and she must depend on a young Sesshoumaru, who has no idea of what their shared future holds. But neither does Kagome.
