Summary
She’s under Neji's command, which apparently means she’s under the Hyuuga’s command. The Hyuuga’s role is on the frontlines, but Neji must be special for a kid from the branch family, because they mostly send him and Sakura out after the big battles are done, to pick off the wounded, and burn bodies.
Sakura kind of wishes she had someone to keep her from the big fights, too. Her job is with Neji, taking back kekkei genkai and retrieving important people’s bodies, but she has other assignments, too. She’s given a dull kunai and told to go through the battlefield, dodging blows and jutsus from friend and foe, slashing at whatever isn’t wearing a Konoha headband.
(the third shinobi war doesn't end, dragging on for years. konoha is running out of troops, and unimportant children in the academy with even a modicum of talent are snatched up to the warfront. sakura, unfortunately, is one of them. so is neji.)

Summary
Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa.
The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked.
When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good.

Summary
Rewrite of my itasaku longfic, To Mend and Defend
* * *
Naruto returns to Konoha with one Uchiha Sasuke, but Sakura, feeling the force of her own inadequacies and desperate for the power to protect, instead takes the path once intended for him. Along the way she meets all manner of strange people, from sannin to Tailed Beasts to estranged older brothers—all of whom will leave their marks upon her, in their own ways.
(Sakura-centric; early/minor Sakukarin; Itasaku endgame; will add minor tags as story progresses, but there's no Major Character Death or other big warnings)
