    Summary

    No one remembers exactly how it began-only that one night, the sky over Kazdel turned the color of molten glass, and the next morning, the city was gone. Not destroyed in fire or flood, but crystallized-buildings, trees, even people-frozen in jagged silence. From the ruins came a sickness: blood that hardened into glittering splinters, pressing outward until it broke the skin. A beautiful, agonizing curse.

    She was one of the few who survived.
    The girl who walked out of Kazdel with shards blooming along her arms like thorns remembers very little. Just heat. Screams. A hand letting go. And then waking up in a sterile white facility, where voices whispered about cures, containment, and failure. They gave her a name she doesn't remember choosing. They told her to rest. To heal. To forget.
    That place, too, is ash now--another memory burned out before it could settle.

     

    But the crystals still grow. And she has a promise to fulfill.
    Even if she doesn't remeber.

    Summary

    Sakura Haruno is ten when she first sees Konoha. And her feet are planted firmly for the first time, spreading roots among the trees and people that feel like home

    Yet still...

    A hunger gnaws deep within her chest, pushing and pulling at the pit in the bottom of her stomach, searching for something she can't quite name. It rumbles and burns in her belly, leaving a sickening sweet taste on the inside of her cheeks.

    Sakura is ten when she comes home for the first time —her father wrapped in a blanket and a hollowness in her chest— and the trees rejoice with her happiness. And burn with her anger. And wail with her despair. And beg her to reach out and satiate her hunger.

    Summary

    Sakura does not know what being a shinobi means or even truly meant. Or if she wanted to be one. She barely knew herself however she will try to. What she wants and what she is. It all starts with the feeling of uneasiness toward a Kunai.

    Summary

    She always heard the whispers of them, among the forests, with her team, when she's alone. Especially when she's alone. She would always listen, and try to call back, but it would never work.

    Until now. The trees had never listened to her before, but this time she begged and pushed. This time, both her and the trees listened and heard each other and worked in tandem.

    Or, Haruno Sakura hated how useless she was while Sasuke and Naruto fought the Kiri-chunin. So she decides to use Mokuton to pin them to the trees. This has consequences.
