Naruto x Demon Slayer au: Demon Slayer Corps - Written notes / Character design

There are 5 different demon slayer corps. Leaf, Sand, Stone, Lightning and Mist. The Hashira work for all five, while the lower ranks work solely for their own. Each corps has it's own hidden training village, and every year two villages will compete to test the Slayers' progress and who will get to move to a higher rank. The year Sakura joins the Corps is the year the Hidden Sand village will compete with the Hidden Leaf village.

The Hidden Leaf Corps is run by three people, as opposed to the other villages which are run by one. The village leaders are called Masters: former Hashira that can no longer fight but can provide training and guidance to the Corps.

Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are the Hidden Leaves masters. Jiraiya is in control of the training camps and breathing training, Orochimaru is in charge of weaponry and anything recquired in a lab, and Tsunade is in charge of pharmacy and medicine. Tsunade is also in charge of the Hashira of the leaf. Kakashi brings Sakura and Naruto to her for a proper fate to be decided.

As Hashira, the three got into a horrible fight with a high rank demon, leaving all three permanently injured. They work together and split the duty as the masters to compensate for their injuries, and because Hiruzen (the previous master) wasn't able to decide who would run the corps.

That time Sakura threw herself in between Naruto and Sasuke's rooftop fight and Kakashi wasn't there to stop them in time.

Tsunade was able to save her hearing and most of her nerves, but her eyes were a very unfortunate casualty.

Now she's a civilian and has to figure out what to do with herself.

So in this verse, Tsunade never ends up teaching Sakura- as that role is fulfilled by Chiyo.

And Chiyo's first rule (for everything lol) is: Nothing is Free.

Chiyo always demanded something in return for healing, and unlike Tsunade, she considered medical jutsu a part of her arsenal. If it could kill, then it was always an option.

So Sakura learned from that mindset, trading her services and using her rare skillet as a powerful negotiating tactic, especially during Tea Country's civil war. Her healing effectively kept her, Enji, and Saeko in relative safety and provided her a card to play when she needed.

And, while Sakura is nowhere near as jaded as Chiyo is, and often enough of a bleeding heart to help people for damn near free, (a place to stay, food for the night, a new holster for her kunai), she is also VERY pragmatic about her skillset. The civil war taught her that sometimes, letting someone die is better. This puts her at odds with Tsunade, who has a very different mindset (and was, historically, bitter enemies with Chiyo).

Another issue that arises with Tsunade, is that the Godaime is a doctor- while Chiyo is more of a healer. Their understanding of the human body comes from a different place.

Tsunade can name every bone and muscle and perform open-heart surgeries. Sakura can heal bone and stitch back together muscles and flesh on a very basic level, but she's never going to be able to open up a human body and revolutionize medical history like she does in canon. (In canon, Sakura creates a Jutsu that allows her to do a four-man surgery alone; she can't do that here.)

However, she can do some stuff that Tsunade claims is impossible—like reconstructing/altering someone's chakra network, unblocking tenketsu, sometimes turning off someone's dojutsu from a distance, and lite-healing remotely (Tsunade is very upset about this one specifically). A lot of it comes from her mastery of Genjutsu.

Genjutsu, as I reworked in my comic, requires a complete understanding of someone's chakra network to control ALL their senses. Sakura's understanding and control are so prodigious that she can almost autonomously control people's bodily functions (a skillset that is GREATLY aided by training with Chiyo's puppet mastery).

She uses Genjutsu as a tool to understand the body and employs it as both support (helping an ally maintain a sense of gravity as they're pulled underground or flung in the air, etc) and offense.

And that's it for the wall of text! Once again, thank you SO much for the amazingly kind words and all the interest in this AU! <3

- Medic AU -

This au is inspired by a post by @evilkitten3 !

About a year after Naruto's departure with Jiraiya, Shikamaru, Neji, and Kiba find themselves asking for Sakura's help. Their teams need medics, and they're the right men for the job. Sakura gladly takes her friends in and takes them to the best person she knows to train them, the woman who taught her. The fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade!

After three years of rigorous training and studying, the four ninja (and loveable canine friend), become a secret specialised medic squad that work directly under Tsunade. In emergencies, they work together to run Konoha's hospital and the medical teams on the battlefield

// This is all I got so far, but I'll do more later!
