Neji learns Sakura may not be from a noble Shinobi clan, but her heart is more than noble. He is more than a servant of the Head family.
The second chunin exams, Sakura's mysterious family revealed, a partnership in and out of Anbu.

Summary
“Rules aren't the same for everyone”
That’s the first painful lesson Sakura learns well into her first year in the Academy. Nothing to do with chakra or jutsus. No. Her first lesson is a bitter taste of reality.
The second one comes sooner than later, and while it doesn't catch her by surprise this time, it's not any less painful.
"Those who come from clans will never see civilians as equals"
Sakura is young and full of dreams but not stupid. She knows exactly what her place is in the food chain: At the very bottom, along with everyone like her. Clan shinobi are meant to stay on top and be the best, while the "common" shinobi become tools at best and sacrifices at worst. She's reminded of it everyday...until she gets tired of it.
Until Sakura decides she won't be more canon fodder for the village. And the only way to achieve that is by being too valuable to die.
With her wits and charm as her only weapons, Sakura is resolved to become a great kunoichi and shut everyone's mouths in the process.
Because as a simple civilian born girl surrounded by elite, the only way to survive is creating her own legacy.

Summary
Shisui had admired her from afar for years, secretly pining for the young woman. He knew it was wrong, he was so much older than her. So, he kept it hidden, save for his closest friend.
Itachi had no plans to marry, but the elders were relentless in their pursuit to see the heirs married off.
At 25 years old, he was fighting a losing battle to postpone any plans for his future that included the responsibility of a wife and children. He had successfully fended them off about marrying inside the clan, something considered groundbreaking for the main family. Now, they have brought up an arranged marriage candidate that he will have a hard time denying, considering he was half in love with the woman, already.
Senju Tsunade wanted grandchildren, damnit. Either elite shinobi would do, in her opinion. Her apprentice had a thing for the dark-haired, dark-eyed Uchiha, anyway.
Poor Sakura doesn't know what she's in for.Bookmarked by MommaLex
