sakura haruno fanfic rec list.
I tend to lean towards longer Sakura-centric fics. I’m not really one for oneshots, so if long rides are your type of thing, you’re in the right place.
Maybe if this gets a lot of attention, I’ll make a part 2 but as of now, this is all I’m posting since its 3am. It’s still pretty decently sized though.
I’m also on mobile so sorry if my formatting looks wonky.

Believe Me When I Say I Carry All My Sins
Summary: Sakura knew the best way to tear a man’s spine out of his nose without breaking a sweat. She didn’t know how to live in a village with Minato as Hokage and the Uchiha clan as the beloved police force. She didn’t know how to live as a disgraced genin in a bloody apartment with dead men knocking at her door. She didn’t know how to forgive herself for failing Konoha. Now she had a chance to save it.

Summary: Hokage-it was Naruto’s dream, just as Sasuke was his promise. And for a short, glorious time, he had them both. But when tragedy strikes, it is Sakura who must continue to bear the reality of the dream: endless paperwork, bickering Kage, and political factions.

Summary: Sakura got up and didn’t bother brushing the dirt from her dress. She had a feeling she was about to get even dirtier. She looked at the memorial stone one last time, memorizing the characters without even realizing she was doing it. It would serve from that moment on as a reminder of her determination. She wouldn’t let Naruto and Sasuke join the names carved on that stone. That was her nindo.
Pairing: Kakasaku but it’s endgame.

Summary: Konoha and Iwa sign a truce and agree to an Exchange Program between recently promoted genin to “bolster village relations.” Fortunately, if anything were to go wrong, Haruno Sakura was just average enough to risk losing.
https://fanfiction.net/s/6004135/1/Expedient
Summary: Sakura made a promise to the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest. She will not fail them, not for anything. (I HIGHLY recommend reading the previous fics in the “the ballad of the slug sage” series. This particular fic is part 7 and may not make sense if you don’t read the previous parts.)

https://fanfiction.net/s/3608990/1/Take-It-or-Leave-It
