Summary
“Shinobi die,” the Matchmaker tells her bluntly. “Life as a shinobi is hard, ugly and beyond all thankless. It will be much easier for you to bring honour to your family through a suitable marriage than as a kunoichi.”
“I know,” Sakura says, though she truthfully thinks that she has very little idea of what life as a shinobi is actually like. She raises her chin, meeting the older woman’s gaze. “I want to become a kunoichi.”
Sakura is raised by her sickly mother and her late father's clan. The clan wants her to become a lady and marry a noble, but her mother wants her to become a shinobi. In the end, Sakura will have to make a choice. But even as she makes her choice there is no guarantee that she will succeed.
This is the story of how Sakura becomes a shinobi.
AKA, the one where Kakashi has been a soldier since he was five years old and has no idea what to do with a little lady-in-training.

Summary
She has always entertained the notion of leaving. Sasuke and Naruto had had their time away from the village, to grow and develop, but she has always stayed put. Safe, reliable Sakura. She wants to know how she will fare on her own. She wants them to know that she can; that she is strong, and capable, and brave. What a joke. If only they knew that the bravest thing she’s ever done is actually done in fear.
The truth is she’s a coward. And like all cowards, she is running.

A story about searching for answers when you've yet to figure out which questions to ask.

Summary
“Too weak,” he spat, letting his sibling from his grasp. “You wouldn’t even be worth the time to kill.”
“There is no value in killing the likes of you,” another said to their own sibling. “My foolish brother… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me!”
In which those words were spoken by two different people at two different places and two different times, and they were hated for it. Their words shaped two children’s lives, and the course of history was forever altered because of it.
Otherwise, in which only weeks after the Uchiha Clan Massacre, another massacre takes place, mostly kept quiet and swept under the rug. They don’t particularly want people getting the wrong impression of Konoha, and it’s quite easy to keep it under wraps.
After all, the Haruno Clan is predominately civilian – nothing more than a small blip on the sensory radar of a shinobi.
Or: Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke are alike in more ways than they both know, Uzumaki Naruto is rather obsessed with them both, and Hatake Kakashi was only prepared for one foolish boy, one seeming fangirl, and one revenge obsessed moron – not two.

Summary
If someone had asked 13 year old Haruno Sakura what she wanted to do with her life, she would have said something along the lines of “marry Sasuke-kun and have his babies!” and certainly not “befriend an infamous psychopath and make Sasuke-kun hate my guts!”
Alas, no one ever asked her.
Busy trying to be a decent sensei, Kakashi unwittingly gets involved in a plot that spans from the deceased fourth Hokage to Danzo himself… and completely misses the slow yet pervasive changes happening to his female student. Not until it’s too late, anyway. (He always is.)

Summary
Sakura steps forward smoothly, raises her kunai, and without hesitation swipes it through the Sound genin’s throat, all in an instant.
The Sound genin falls to the ground clutching her throat, as she chokes on her blood and bleeds out on the floor.
Sakura wipes the blood off her kunai and returns it to her pouch.
She’s wearing the same smile, she gets when she’s gotten a hard answer right.
What the fuck?
How had he missed this? Sure he’s mentally checked out a lot around the kids but a little bit of light dissociation was healthy, for the shinobi psyche.

Summary
It’s not that Sakura intended to live in the city with the highest level of vigilantly activity on the east coast, it just happened that way. Of all the schools she’d applied to, Kohona University offered her the most money, and, hell, Sakura’s not one to pass that opportunity up.
And at first, save for the occasional city-wide lockdown as that week’s baddie threatened to blow something up, or the shelter-in-place drills that she had to participate in during the first week of class, it didn’t have any major impact on her life.
That is, until vigilantes started showing up at her apartment out of the blue.

or; tired med student Sakura has the unfortunate habit of running into vigilantes, who, for some reason, don't seem to want to leave her alone -

Summary
Sakura twists to look at Sasuke, her smile stretching until it’s more of a grimace, and Sasuke can’t help but wonder what the fuck he’s just done.
Because Sai is sitting on the couch like a puppet waiting for his strings to be pulled. His expression has smoothed out into a mask of absolute nothingness, except Sasuke doesn’t think it’s a mask this time – it’s like Sai’s shoved everything down, rebuilt the walls they’d slowly been tearing down these past few weeks in a matter of seconds.
All this, because Sasuke asked him to read?

Summary
Sakura is not an idiot. She was praised for her intelligence, reached Top Kunoichi at the Academy for her brains.
So it doesn't take her long after being placed on the powder keg that is Team Seven to realize she is going to die.
Kakashi, career shinobi since age-six, has no idea what the hell is going on with his little pink-haired student or why there is such fear in her eyes. So he gives her head-pats. That's what you do for scared puppies isn't it?
