   Summary

   Take a quiet, introverted Sakura with a scientifically minded brain, and a penchant for perfectionism, and throw her onto team 7.

   A story of a what-could-have-been, but not necessarily a fix-it.

   OR

   Sasuke was the rookie-of-the-year, hailed as a genius. But... If more people knew that Sakura had near-perfect chakra control and the brains to put it to use (which she does to Kakashi's fascination and horror), she would be hailed as a prodigy.
