It's been noisy ever since the attack. There is a lot of rebuilding. The interesting thing is that there is an addition of a shrine where Nine-tails caused the most destruction.

'Ah, humans. How predictable,' Sakura allows herself a bit of internal monologue as she watches the Shinobi who are carrying heavy things. Chakra is a wonderful thing. Reality is very suggestible under the smoother of it. However, she knows better and more efficient models and methods, so it is pointless anyway. However, she continues to research it in the hope that Chakra can somehow provide the [ANSWER] as it would really help her. But no. It isn't that easy. Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. It's never that easy. It's something that stumps her species for aeons. Anyhow, the attack left Konoha with many needs so her parents who are merchants are commissioned to provide supplies, so they are out of town, a lot.

They are worried so Sakura is left inside the village under the tender care of Genin teams. For the last time, Haruno Sakura isn't a dog, and she will not tolerate the indignity of being treated like one. The Inuzuka who got her fingers broken in an accident can attest to that. Sakura has expended some efforts to make sure that Inuzuka knows who is behind it. It's hilarious to see her convincing others that the pink-haired demon child is behind her broken fingers and not because she mis-jumped and slammed into a building face first, like an idiot.

There is also a man with a lot of bandages hiding wiggling things, eyes balls?, but hey, Sakura isn't judging anyone, [THINKER] knows some of her siblings get into some weird shit.

*Cough* Unit 17 *Cough*

She discreetly scans the man, aside from some form of heavy modification on the body which wow, if she doesn't know any better, she would say a [Chirugeon]'s host has a field day with him. This man also has foreign DNA on his body though, more than healthy. She files them for later when she gets more information.

She is also keeping eyes on the Blonde and the old man. They irregularly have a meeting with another old man who lives near Konoha Library. Of course, she eavesdrops on them. Most of the things they discuss are about her Avatar, Nine-tails the movements of other Hidden Villages, and Uchiha, there are a lot of Uchina thrown around.

Things would continue like this for a month. After a month, the reconstruction efforts have calmed down and her father and mother are back, so Sakura is back in their loving arms.

"I am back! Did you miss me, baby? It's okay, mom is back. Did those Genin bully you?" her mother, Haruno Mebuki buries her in the embrace and starts to speak and reassure her.

'I am sorry, mom. I can't reply because I am a baby,' at that thought, Sakura stops, 'Wait, when do human babies start to speak again? It wasn't the information package I received...oh well, I will speak when it is time,' she dismissed.


Minato looks at his two predecessors sitting across from him. They have been having these meetings during this month. Konoha is in a precarious position. With their Tailed-beast missing from Konoha's arsenal and potential animosity with one of their most powerful clans, things aren't looking good. Sure, that Deity, Raijin gave her words, however, having a protector is different from having a weapon. The former is an insurance, but the latter is a deterrence and Tailed-beasts make for one hell of a deterrence.

"Can we really trust Nine-tails' words? It could be lying to cause discord among us," Hiruzen says.

"Yes, Kushina tells me about its behaviours. Nine-tails don't lie. It believes it is above such things," Minato replies warily.

"Hmph, of course, Madara finds a way to cheat death. That checks out. That crafty bastard is always like that," The old man no.2, Senju Tobirama adds with a huff.

"Can we even trust this Raijin? She claims to be a Deity, but as far as I know, only Shinigami-Sama meddles in the affairs of the world directly and that's because Uzumaki has a pact with them," Minato says with a frown.

Hiruzen looks thoughtful and says, "Hmm, actually, Deities are more active than you would imagine. They are even more active in the past. However, most of them were defeated by Tailed-beasts and disappeared. The most recent activity recorded would be 5 years ago when there was a disturbance from the north of Kirigakure. A force composed of two of the Seven Sword Men of the Mist, the Jinchuriki of Six-Tails, a squad of Jounin and a Platoon of Chunin and Genin were sent out to deal with the problem after the preliminary forces sent out to investigate never came back. Nobody truly knew what happened there. Only the Jinchuriki came back. The only information we managed to get from the encounter is about an eight-headed serpent named Yamata no Orochi".

"My brother's famed ability Wood-Release is also taught by Yatsukamizuomitsuno-Sama," Tobirama says with a deep and gruff voice.

"I see. It seems that there are still a lot of matters I don't know," Minato concedes.

"Don't be too hard on yourself, after all, these matters are hidden away and nowadays, people have even more less of a reason to learn about them," Hiruzen says with amusement before getting serious again and saying, "What I am really worried about is how she handled Nine-tails. Deities are powerful beings, however, even they have limits. To stop a Tailed-beast like that, she must be very strong even by the standard of Deities and yet this is the first time I have heard of the name Raijin. There is something wrong and I don't know what it is".

"We can't know for sure until we have more information. Now, let's move on to more important matters, the Uchiha clan. Now that we have confirmation that Madara is back, we can't be sure of their loyalty anymore," Tobirama says.

"I wouldn't say that. All of us here know that the Uchiha clan has longed since declared Madara a traitor and renounced him from the name of Uchiha. Besides, we all know how loyal Uchiha are to Konoha. We shouldn't blame them just because of the action of one man we know they don't even consider their own anymore," Minato immediately defends them.

Tobirama huffs but concedes to the point.

Like that, their meetings continue.


Things are peaceful. She is a bit disgruntled by these masked shinobi who are always running, but she learns to ignore them. Meanwhile, she has done all the research pathways she can think of regarding Chakra's properties. Sakura is pretty sure she knows all there is to know regarding the properties of this exotic energy, the only remaining is that wait for someone to think up a new research avenue for her and move on towards its direct and indirect effects on living beings. For that, she would need volunteers... just joking, test subjects. Sakura is honestly ashamed it took this long to finish the research. However, in her defence, simulating everything down to the particle level is very energy-intensive. Energy she can't just use willy-nilly. Thus, she had had to go slow.

It's been a year since the Nine-tails attack. Konohagakure has recovered completely, in fact, it could be said that it is even better than before due to the rumours of a literal deity residing here, there are a lot of tourists. However, she can sense that there are unrests. The village is preparing itself for war even though there isn't one. It's peculiar. On the side note, she can sense the red-haired woman, Uzumaki Kushina, is practising with a little surprise she left inside her. It is the connection nodes which are fused with Chakra pathways.

Sakura has discovered, with no small amount of pleasant surprise, that it was a great decision on her part to form a Shard-Host connection with her. After watching her for a while, she discovered the Fuinjutsu, which opened a whole new direction of research for her. For that, she has given her the superpower of being able to catalogue every seal and know how to improve them, i.e. she has given Kushina some access to her data storage and research regarding Fuinjutsu. She smiles as Uzumaki Kushina gleefully crams an entire society's worth of seals into her database, how cute. If every Host are this cute, Sakura could understand Queen Administrator's obsession (excuse me?! It's the best Host! My . ) with her Host.

Speaking of which, Sakura is quite glad she has recovered swimmingly. Her being only one of her kind in this little section of the Multiverse helps with that quite a lot. She has been finding and seeding empty worlds where there is no sentience life due to some circumstances or worlds with simple creatures. She even manages to amass enough energy to make matter-generation facilities. Her body is very expensive to repair. In terms of protection, she has equipped any of the worlds she has reached and developed with full shielding and defences. It was proven to be the correct course of action after some albino dimensional-faring lifeforms tried to enter one of her energy-gathering dimensions.

These little idiots tried to breach her shielding by some party trick. Heh, she is a Shard and Shards has played with Space-Time since even before their own birth (don't ask her how that is possible, it involves some temporal shenanigans). Of course, she dusted them. Now, these little pests called Otsutsuki try to wage war against her and constantly try to crack her shields. Funny things. They even bring out their starships and try to brute force their way in. Now, most people would think fighting against Entities would be fighting against just one Avatar and that is it. The truth of the matter is, Entities are a fleet. A fleet of trillions upon trillions upon trillions of continents to planets size battleships, each equipped with unique weaponries and can casually travel many times faster than the speed of light and can make proper battleships-size drones easily.

And then, there are Superweapons. Well, they are called Superweapons for a reason. Superweapons are an army in itself. They are flagships, the generals and some of the biggest sticks in an Entity's arsenals. Every time they are called out for a real war, it's a battle against an entire galaxy. Anyway, yes, these rabbits have no chance. She made quick work of their starships and confiscated them for later research. Now that Sakura thinks about it, these Otsutsuki don't even seem to know who they are fighting with, oh well, not her problem. She takes what she wants and leaves them alone so long as they don't try to provoke her again. She calls that a win-win. What sort of idiots try to attack something without knowing anything about them anyway?


In truth, Otsutsuki are desperate and scared. A squadron of their greatest scouts disappeared suddenly, and when they sent more forces to investigate, they also disappeared instantly and, then, when they were thoroughly spooked and sent an army to investigate and eliminate whatever was behind these attacks on their force, that army also disappeared suddenly. And now, they are running around like headless chickens, muttering about horrors hidden beyond the stars. All in all, it isn't fun to be an Otsutsuki right now, it seems.


Sakura, unaware of these things, continues to do her things, play, taste food, and enjoy life. Living her life to the fullest. If others would have to suffer a bit for her amusement? Well, that's their honour to be so. Anyway, she has decided to be a Shinobi after getting some information about them from her environment. For some reason, civilians are scared of them. Sakura wouldn't fault them for this, it is healthy for you to have a bit of fear toward things that are just superior to you in many ways.

In any case, Sakura will be the best. She just needs to wait to grow up. Stupid human biology.
