Summary
Flowers only bloom just before they wilt
When Sakura loses her fight against Ino in her Chuunin exams, she questions her ability to ever become a kunoichi, too weak to protect herself, let alone her village
One wrongful promotion later and Sakura gets a second chance in the shape of a mysterious new teacher who against all odds is willing to put her faith in a young girl with potential and a willingness to fight.
Or- a fix-it inspired fic where Sakura grows to be the powerhouse she was destined to become.

Summary
She is a curious case though, Haruno Sakura, who has no clan legacy to speak of yet effortlessly keeps up with children who were born to outclass her, and even though such cases exist, they're rare, if not almost entirely unheard of. More than once she is brought in for testing and she cannot count the times she tells her teachers that no, they don't have shinobi in the family, no the Haruno aren't a secret clan from another country and no, she hasn't received training from anyone else.
(The possibility that it might be neither of her parents she gets it from but someone else entirely, well, doesn't really occur to anyone until much, much later.)
A (somewhat) unusual soulmate story featuring loving female friendships, problematic children, and a serious lack of respect for life and death situations.
