Summary
Sakura is born in the heart of the flower district.
No father waited outside. No clan name to greet her. No elders to speak blessings, no family crest stitched into swaddling cloth.
“Haruno” is what Mebuki writes on her academy form.
It’s still not her name.
—
Sakura is the daughter of a prostitute.

Summary
The world is a harsh place. This, Nao knows.
Unless you’re born smart, pretty, wealthy, or some combination of all three, it doesn’t care about you in the least. It’s not something she wastes time being bitter about, just something she accepts and deals with.
Her only plans for the future consist of scrounging up enough food to survive, and dying during a particularly cold winter before her age can reach double digits, simply because she doesn’t know how to deal with anything else.
She’s about to learn, or die trying.

Summary
A Self Insert into Naruto.
Ryoma, orphan of the sands, knows full well that he's nothing special as far as ninja go. Really, the smart move would be to run to the other side of the planet and wait for the oncoming apocalypse to pass him by.
Running has never been his style.

Summary
Obito Uchiha has formed an unfortunate acquaintanceship with retrograde amnesia. Sakura Haruno, despite being the most socially aware child in her genin team, is like her two peers in being still largely friendless, and in dire need of a confidante.
While Sakura might drool over a chance to unravel an amnesiacs’ mysterious origins, and reignite some past relationships along the way - it’s chock full of romantic potential - she's got the slight issue of being twelve, and therefore distractable. There is nonsense happening in her team and Sakura is convinced she has the answers.
As Obito tries to jog his memory without accidentally killing internationally reknowned war heroes in a fit of rage, Sakura must learn that there are some things in life that should be left well enough alone. The author of course is not referring to Obito’s amnesia - he needs all the help he can get - but instead to a certain boy’s love for another certain boy, and that certain boy’s love for her.

Summary
“This’ll make the elders shit themselves.” Tsunade chuckled. “Assigning Jiraiya a little paper pusher from nowhere instead of some jounin track hotshot? They’ll hate that. This way everyone is unhappy. Except me. I’m having a great time.”
or, a paper ninja whose career has already hit a dead end applies for an apprenticeship she is deeply unqualified for. tsunade makes it everyone's problem.
