    Summary

    She had to get better, obviously, but she kept running into the same barriers. Kakashi-sensei had given them a week off after Wave and then promptly fucked off to kami-sama knows where, her taijutsu was abysmal, her chakra reserves were too small for most jutsus beyond the Academy Three which was basically every jutsu in existence, and she didn’t have any kind of support system that could help her in any meaningful way. She spent an entire day scouring the library for any kind of tool or trick or skill that would be accessible to a genin who knew fuck all about being a ninja that would also positively impact her chances of survival starting immediately. Unsurprisingly, there was almost nothing. Surprisingly, she did find one potential lead.

    So. Summoning.


    An AU where post-Wave Sakura gets her shit together. Featuring Temari as Kazekage, the Sanin and their inability to go to therapy, and special guest, Inuzuka Hana’s dumpsterfire of a love life

    Summary

    Ino kicked at a pebble on the ground, her arms folded across her chest. “How long?”

    Shikamaru sighed and pulled the cigarette away from his lips. “The war."

    It was a lie somewhat. He’d liked her since they were kids but had simply ignored the budding crush expecting it to fade over time. It hadn’t and by the time the war came around, he accepted he would always carry it despite his increasing efforts to drop it. He’d tried drowning it in the river, burning it in a fire, covering it up with something else. But it was all to no avail. It stuck with him, always apart of him.

    “Have you ever told anyone? Chouji? Her?”

    "No."

    Summary

    During their mission to Wave, Sakura realises how behind she is in her training and decides to do something about it. She vows to become a shinobi her Village and her teammates can respect and depend on. But Sakura has always been a paper-ninja, so her first stop for inspiration is the library where she finds unexpected help in the form of one very bored tokujo who quickly goes on to become an integral part of her life. Soon, despite the neglect of her sensei and all odds seemingly against her, Sakura's destiny begins to change.
