Sand Flavored Kisses

Sakura: Hey, do you think-

Naruto: No I absolutely do not

I just really enjoyed how I designed this guy

Snivy's gain their color via the food they eat, that's no problem for you average snivy that feasts on grass and leaves alike. But this one has seemed to gained a taste for a certain kind of red sap, that along with the numerous dragon types that inhabit the area those trees grow in has earned her the name "Dragon's Blood."

Himawari in her Nine tail fox cloak. I feel like her byuakgan would still keep its original lavender color. And that the charka would be yellow instead of red

A moment of mourning for something Sakura would have once given anything to hear from Sasuke....

Kind of followup to THIS comic.

But she and Saeko have had their revenge for Enji, and Sakura has had time to heal and find closure. She won't be any good to Sasuke because she's already left that path, and she won't abandon her coven/responsibilities either.

She's learned alot about Konoha over the past few years, and has to a big degree, deprogrammed herself from the Leaf's propaganda thanks to all her teachers and some brutal life experience, so she doesn't actually care if Sasuke were to raze the entire council/kages to the ground- but there ARE people (ino, Kakashi, lee, naruto etc-) who she loves and wants to protect, so she'll stay, for them.

Sasuke, for his part, is happy to have someone just verbalize that they empathize with his pain and that his desire for revenge is justified, though he's doesn't have the bandwidth to really understand where Sakura is right now, emotionally.

In this AU I kind of had an end for Sasuke where he is pardoned, but never returns to the village, though he does pass by once in a blue moon. When he does, Sakura (who doesn't end up living IN the village as much as in the forests of Konoha like their own little witch of the woods) is there to help with healing/supplies and they do end up as good, yet distant friends.

Once again, thank you so much for all the support and really nice questions/kind words for this AU!!! <3 <3

Your post about Sakura and Sasuke was very interesting to read 👀 honestly you headcanon Sakura similar to how I headcanon her lol. The insecurity, self loathing, no one really believing in her.

Kinda makes me sad that the fandom was able to develop so much more for her and not the literal author of the story. But that kinda unfortunately goes for all the female characters in Naruto. Besides Tsuande, none of them really got a backstory or character development. And if they did, it was pushed back for their love interests.

I guess what I’m trying to ask is, if you could make another AU for one of the other Naru girls, who would it be and why?

Yes! Sakura (and all the Naruto girls- and honestly half the Naruto men) deserved more!!

For an AU, I would absolutely make Hinata become the Hyuga head and find strength in the kindness and empathy her family tried to beat out of her. I feel like this version of Hinata would suit Naruto better too.
