Sakura Rewind
Written by: KamiNoSakura
Author's Note:This is a story that I thought of during my youthful years in Middle school. I thought that Sakura's role needed a bit more of an impact, so I wrote this story and revised it a number of times, hope you enjoy. There are some of my OCs and a few of the original characters may seem to be a bit OOC, but otherwise I tried to capture their original personalities. On another note, I do plan on making a doujinshi of this story however it will take some time due to my lack of excellent drawing skills. Please bear with me everyone. I do not own Naruto, all rights go to Kishimoto Masashi.
Warning: Main Character Death (Sort of…) & Some Profanity
-Prologue-
The Rain Kept Falling
The rain kept falling from the dark grey and cloudy sky that hung above Konohagakure, the battle against Kabuto and the "fake" Madara was finally at an end. The victory of the Shinobi Alliance, however, was not one without great loss. The alliance had suffered tremendous casualties, first being the deaths of three of the Kages. They were A, the fourth Raikage, a man with both super human speed and strength. The second was, Oonoki who was known as the second Tsuchikage, an elderly man who had experience in many battles and wars. Also among the dead was Konoha's Hokage, Tsunade. She, despite her appearance was revered as a medical ninja, and her deadly strength. This was a great blow to the alliance however, that was not the end of their suffering. The other two Kages, Gaara, the fifth Kazekage and Terumii Mei the fifth Mizukage were severely injured and barely escaped death. Gaara had been knocked into a comatose state, along with severed limbs to his arms and legs. Torn muscle tissue and severe chakra and blood loss. Mei on the other hand, was alive and conscious. Although she also suffered from severe chakra loss she was still able to send out orders for damage control, only under constant monitoring of medical ninjas. To Konaha's shinobi Tsunade's death was only the beginning of the tragedy the war brought.
On the ground a few meters away from the Konohagure's faces of the Hokages of the past to the present laid two bodies, one of them belonging to a raven-haired boy who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen, the other a blonde spiky-haired boy who was about the same age. They were once teammates who couldn't stand the sight of one another, rivals who constantly competed, best friends who would always watch each other's backs, and bitter enemies who could not escape fate and fight to the death. No one was able to change their fate; both Sasuke and Naruto understood this better than anyone. They were fine shinobi that earned the respect from the people in Konoha and other nations. This was a tragic loss for their friends. Although they all grieved, none of them suffered as much as Sakura. She was their teammate and best friend, the person who was with them from beginning to the very end.
The pink-haired kunoichi walked slowly to their cold corpses, she kneeled down with disbelief of their death. She stared at them blankly and not accepting the cruel reality of it all…no, it's not that she couldn't accept it, she refused to. Kakashi, the group's sensei and mentor stood beside his last student and placed his hand on her shoulders. In that instant, she burst into tears and cried her heart out…she continued to cry as the rain kept falling…
