Summary
She should be hailed as a hero, her friends at her side, their faces smiling and happy and alive. Should be living in luxury, without a care in the world and no nightmares to plague her every sleeping moment.
She shifts, leaves crunching under her.
The world owes you nothing, Inner says, sneaking her way into the forefront of her mind.
The sooner you realize that, the happier you’ll be.

In which Sakura has an Inner that's already lived once, and decides she'll do whatever it takes to not go through the hell her other self has had to experience. Though that's probably easier said than done.

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
When Sakura realizes that playing little girl and flunking combat training had probably been a gross miscalculation on her part, she’s stranded in a rickety home in a run down country with an unconscious sensei. Sakura isn’t sure if she can make up for that mistake before it kills her or her team but she sure as hell will give it her best shot.
She really couldn’t have known that falling victim to Hatake Kakashi’s unique attempts at teaching would open up another can of worms entirely.

Anko knew the imprisoned Hyuuga Elders were a Problem. She also knew the new Hyuuga Head wasn't as soft and innocent as Kurenai or Shiranui liked to pretend.
She had never expected this, though.
