Summary
A small side project of mine. It is no secret that, even the most loyal of SasuSaku fans have to agree on the disheartening reality that, Sasuke's and Sakura's relationship was poorly handled. Purely relying on sub-context, tape and prayers, that it all works out in the end, and I say: Bullocks to that, we deserved better. Especially Sakura.
And this is what this small series is for: Me writing, the well-needed setup to their developing relationship. Because, Kishimoto's retcons in Shippuden have caused so much irreparable damage to the tonal and moral consistency of his own plot, causing characters like Sasuke to be coming off as "spoiled", as if he has to be "grateful" to even be alive. And I say, what for? Konoha, and the elders have made Sasuke's life a living hell, and you mean to tell me, Sakura -- Someone, SUPPOSEDLY on the same IQ level as Shikamaru -- could never connect the dots on why Sasuke couldn't stay in the village? Bullshit, let's just say how it is.
Hence, this story was birthed. I want to write a theoretical scenario, in which all given promises about Sakura's character are kept, AND her romance with Sasuke receives more meat around the bone.
All characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto

Summary
Intake Form REDACTED for Candidate: 012601
Age: 12
Rank: Genin
Known Associations: Yamanaka Clan(former), Konoha Team 7, Konoha Team Gai, Arashi Gin(Uzu refugee & Fuinjutsu expert), Hanazono’s Brothel(ANBU Infiltration Branch Front)Following hospitalization for head trauma, candidate was diagnosed with total amnesia. Since the injury, candidate has shown emotional discipline, dedication to self improvement and a natural inclination towards infiltration and fuinjutsu. Instructing Jounin has shown no interest in the candidate and has had no hand in her training.
Over the months since discharge, candidate has displayed extremely refined chakra control, Nara levels of intelligence and an intuitive understanding of social manipulation. The determination has been made that the candidate’s potential would be grossly squandered in the Genin corps.
Recommendation: Candidate is to be approached immediately and primed for recruitment. Upon promotion to chunin or dissolution of Team 7, candidate is to be sent to REDACTED for further evaluation and training.
