Hello, @konoha_ninja here. My goal is to improve my writing style, and more importantly, write stories that cover taboo topics in an entertaining way. If you enjoyed this piece, be sure to continue reading down below for some recommendations. 

determined. is a part of an ongoing collection of oneshots that focus on the often unsaid or given feelings Sakura Haruno experiences. Inadequacy, shame; all of these are things everyone has felt one time or another. In all of my stories, I try to focus on what makes humanity humane, and the way I have found to is through emotion. Check out some stories below, also written by me, that cover these topics. 

More pieces from the Sakura anthrology include:

enough. ["When everyone thought she wasn't enough, she began to think that too." takes place from genin times to the end of the war through periodic times in which Sakura tries to overcome that feeling of never being enough.] 

breakable. ["Unlike the two of you...I AM breakable." major character death and encompasses the fourth great shinobi war.]

Sakura Blooms Trilogy:

Sakura Blooms [(Rewrite) Sakura, the strange, blunt, emotionless genius that arrived in the village of Konohagakure after a raid on Orochimaru's old laboratory. She was given a mission: to destroy Konoha. Will she be able to carry out the order Orochimaru gave her, or will her teammates be able to teach her what friendship is? COMPLETE.]

Sakura Shippuden [Sakura is seemingly left behind by her team. Without the three to make her life chaotic, Sakura begins to find out more things about herself, meets new people she can call friends, and connect with old ones; all as her perspective of the world changes for her. Currently being worked on.] 

Sakura: The Last [TBD. Marks the beginning of canon Shippuden.]

Other pieces irrelevant to the Sakura series: 

Reunited [Have you ever met someone for the first time and think you've met them before? Four very different people all seem to feel this way about one another. Read as they try to piece together that makes their get-together so familiar. COMPLETE. Warning: this was an early piece, perhaps the first work published on this account. Written in first point-of-view, and switches frequently.] 

SASUSAKU: Book of Oneshots [Both requested and non-requested drabbles. Warning: also a very early piece, and covers all sorts of AUs.]
