Summary
Sakura Haruno is eight years old when she realizes no one is coming to save her.
Not her parents, who barely notice her existence. Not her teachers, who praise her test scores and ignore everything else. Not the universe, which didn't bother giving her a bloodline limit or natural talent or even a warm home to return to.
So she saves herself. One morning run at a time. One training session. One page of careful notes. One friendship built on shared books and painted nails. One teacher who sees past her failures to the dedication underneath.
By the time she graduates the Academy, Sakura Haruno has built herself into something her eight-year-old self wouldn't recognize: a swordswoman who understands angles and light, a genjutsu user who weaponizes perception, a girl who learned that strength isn't given—it's earned in pre-dawn darkness and aching muscles and the refusal to quit even when quitting would be kinder.
A complete reimagining of Sakura Haruno: different personality, different specializations, different foundations. Civilian-born, no kekkei genkai, no prophecies. Just hard work, found family, and the long, difficult path from overlooked to undeniable.

Summary
“You okay?” Alex nudged her gently.
“Was that...real?” She heard herself asking, still in shock. “Does that mean...does she really like me like that?” Alex snorted, unable to hold it back.
“Lena, she just told you that she loves you.” The redhead stated the obvious bluntly.
“Friends say that to each other all the time,” Lena sniffed, sounding utterly pathetic but feeling too overwhelmed to care. “And it technically cut off so-”
“I swear to God Luthor if you let the fact that the recording cut off “you” at the end as an excuse to continue to ignore what you two have I really will lose my shit.” Alex threatened warningly. “And sure, friends say “I love you” to each other all the time, but do you and Kara?”
That point stopped the words forming on Lena’s tongue. No, they didn’t, Lena realized. But they didn’t have to.
