Summary
It all started, in hindsight, with the release of the game called [Red Sands: In Search of the Scarlet Dawn], something of a ridiculous ‘otome’ game featuring the prominent shinobi of Konoha in an odd feudal systems of sorts. A game in which Haruno Sakura was cast as the villainess, her legacy made light of, and her appearance twisted until she was practically unrecognisable. It wasn’t a flattering game to her, and yet it was popular – popular enough for some diehard fan to go out of their way to kill the villainess standing between Sasuke and Hinata’s happiness.
Yet that wasn’t the end of it, rather, death was the beginning of it: of the real Haruno Sakura waking up within that strange world of a game and refusing to follow the so-called ‘plot’ no matter how far along it is.
(or; in which Haruno Sakura becomes a protagonist in the popularised ‘reincarnation as a villainess’ trope, and ponders on why in the seven dimensions did someone create a Madara Route – and how can she get off it, pretty please?)

Summary
Sakura was five when she stumbled upon that book in the library.
She was five when she noticed a little dusty notebook in the corner of the bookshelf, flattened under age-old academy textbooks she had not yet dared to peek at.
She was five when her curiosity got the best of her and she pulled that little notebook, worn and tattered and dusty from years of disuse, out from the bottom shelf and into her hands.
She was five when she pried open the shabby notebook and read the journal entry of a young orphan boy born twenty or so years before her.
She was five when she decided to act on a whim for the first time, against her mother’s wishes.
In another world, she would not have noticed the dingy little notebook under the stack of outdated academy textbooks. In another world, she would have left the library disappointed that day after the librarian told her there was no new shipping of storybooks.

Summary
For all that Iruka-sensei had taught them, he had failed to mention a lot about being a shinobi. In those cases, Sakura had to figure it out herself. The most important lesson he forgot to teach? In order to become strong, one must seek out opportunities. Sakura may have realized this a bit belatedly, but better late than never.
