Seven Things That Didn't Happen to Team 7 by Diva-esque
These things didn't happen to Team 7, but one should have.
(Naruto/Sakura, Sakura/Sasuke, Ino/Shikamaru)
Review: Such a gorgeous idea coupled with an equally gorgeous writing style. Everyone ad their kid brother knows I’m a sucker for ‘what would have happened if THIS insignificant event/choice/accident had gone differently?’ style fanfiction, and this one does it in style. I yearn for fic like this to get me back into the Naruto fandom properly.
Excerpt:
Sakura placed the flowers on the grave.
She had been selfish, sending the boy who loved her after the boy she loved. She hadn't given a thought to Naruto's safety, not as long as the chance remained she could have Sasuke back. She should've known he would never go back on his word, not even at the cost of his life. Now both of her teammates were gone, and she was alone.
Sakura made a promise to his ghost, vowing that she would stop the cycle. She would do what no one else had thought of: she would let go.
