Sakura has a problem. For all his claims that "those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash," Kakashi sure doesn't seem interested in teaching Team Seven how to respect each other. Or maybe it's just that he doesn't consider her worthy of respect? When she dares to voice her concerns about signing up for the upcoming Chunin Exams, suggesting they aren't ready to face such a challenge, he stays silent while Sasuke berates her for 'holding him back'... and even Naruto seems to think she only cares about her looks, not their safety.While trying to calm down, she comes across an unexpectedly sympathetic ear when her wandering takes her near the unlabeled building that houses Konoha's Torture and Interrogation unit. Morino Ibiki is nothing if not pragmatic, and isn't willing to leave problems unaddressed. So he asks her outright: what does she want to do?The answer, it turns out, is that she wants to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke. Even if they aren't her teammates anymore.So begins Space to Breathe, a Naruto fanfic which explores a world where Sakura becomes Ibiki's apprentice. While she hadn't intended on transferring out of Team Seven, Hiruzen insists on her removal, resulting in her being replaced by... Yakushi Kabuto? Oh, dear...As of February 2024, the original version of the story has been discontinued and it is being rewritten under the name Stuck Playing Catch-up. The rewrite can be found here.

Family of Choice: Sakura's new team gradually develops into one, complemented by her strong bond with Ibiki. Team Eight is also shown to be one, which is only further cemented by how they remain close even after their unit is disbanded. Then they collectively join Sakura's team, aside from Kurenai. Hinata expresses this sentiment about her teammates while dying: The events of Chapter 36 and 37 drive home just how far this goes, as Hiashi's refusal to honor his daughter's decision causes Sakura and the rest of her team to choose each other over Konohagakure itself, going missing-nin in order to save Masato's sight.

Chekhov's Gun: When deciding which summoning contract she wants to attempt, Sakura swiftly narrows it down to two candidates: the owls and the scorpions. The one she doesn't choose comes back into play when it's revealed that Hinata took it up instead. Sakura has Oujimari hide in her hair before fighting the Third Tsuchikage, enabling them to bail her out by taking her to the scorpion's realm.

Worthy Opponent

comment
Shino immediately recognizes how Sakura has grown after their preliminary match, acknowledging her as a Worthy Opponent and treating her with respect. This contrasts sharply with how Sasuke staunchly refuses to acknowledge how Sakura has grown at all, and how Naruto doesn't really recognize it until Sakura takes him to task for his ignorance.

Mebuki and Kizashi are among the casualties of the Konoha Crush. Hyuga Hinata is fatally wounded in the final fight with Akatsuki member Hidan. Hyuga Hiashi dies abruptly after the Wham Line in Chapter 43.

Loving a Shadow

comment
Loving a Shadow: Sakura realized shortly before the Wave Mission that her romantic vision of Sasuke was nothing like the real deal, and that he didn't actually care about her at all as a teammate, much less as a potential love interest. Naruto also fell headlong into this when it came to Sakura, seeing her as nothing more than a trophy he was trying to win from his rival... despite the aforementioned complete lack of interest on Sasuke's part.

Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Serves as the Fatal Flaw in Naruto's relationship with Sakura; rather than seeing her for who she is, he's caught up in the narrative he's crafted around her, where he and Sasuke are rivals for everything, including her hand. She eventually takes him to task for this, noting that "For you, it was supposed to be like a storybook."

Signature Move: Discussed; as Sakura notes to Kiba, high-ranking shinobi tend to have at least one technique that's associated with them in this fashion, so she considers it important to develop one of her own. Eventually, she comes up with Water/Earth Release: Metamorphosis, enabling her to transmute a water-based jutsu into an earth jutsu or vice-versa.

comment
Plot Parallel: A major one is drawn between Team Seven and Team Eight following the Chunin Exams, as both teams are disbanded due in part to how multiple members have taken up apprenticeships or are otherwise working with specialized individual teachers. However, Team Eight is clearly in far better shape than Seven, due to the latter's interpersonal problems; Team Eight is much tighter-knit, a point which is driven home by how they remain friends and go out of their way to make time for each other after their team's dissolution.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul
 Space to Breathe (Naruto) (Fanfic) / int_72ce3f54
comment
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Sakura's crush on Sasuke has more or less completely dissipated by the time the story begins, due to her realizing how little he actually cared about her as a teammate. Sakura's mother doesn't agree with her chosen career path, and their relationship is strained to the point that she actually avoids Mebuki as much as she can manage. As a result, Mebuki never appears in person before her untimely death, and Sakura is left deeply regretting how much she'd avoided her. Naturally, Sakura's apprenticeship under Ibiki means that the two grow much closer, and results in her building connections with many of his coworkers and cohorts, such as Anko, Izumo and Kotetsu.

 Space to Breathe (Naruto) (Fanfic) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Kakashi's apathy and neglect of Sakura led to her leaving Team Seven and being replaced by Kabuto for the Chuunin Exams. This does a number on the Copy-nin's reputation, especially after she performs well in the Exams while Kabuto betrays Konoha. His professional reputation only plunges further after Naruto gets his own apprenticeship with Jiraiya and Sasuke, the one who learned the most from him, uses the Chidori to attack another leaf-nin over a personal, petty grudge. Sasuke's arrogance gets the better of him during the Chunin Exams, resulting in him losing his preliminary match against Nanako. His inability to handle this humbling leads to him digging himself deeper by attacking her in public, dealing another blow to his ego while tarnishing his reputation.

Never My Fault: Sasuke refuses to take any responsibility for his own actions, blaming everyone and everything else whenever things don't work out the way he wants. This includes Blaming the Victim when he gets into trouble for attacking Nanako with the Chidori, insisting it was her fault for refusing a rematch, and insisting that Sakura is entirely responsible for how much worse things have gotten for him after she left their team, while simultaneously insisting that he abandoned HER and was right to do so.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom
 Space to Breathe (Naruto) (Fanfic) / int_99ddfcec
comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Originally, Ibiki intends for Sakura to remain with Team Seven and continue training with Kakashi; however, Hiruzen argues that as the head of T&I, Ibiki has plenty of resources to oversee her development, and that it would be easier for all involved to simply replace her. This results in Kabuto taking her place, making things significantly worse for Team Seven, as that means Kakashi gets blamed for not realizing he was a traitor.

Dramatically Missing the Point
 Space to Breathe (Naruto) (Fanfic) / int_9e9203e1
comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: When Sakura protested Kakashi's suggestion that they should sign up for the Chunin Exams, worried that they weren't yet strong enough to tackle such a challenge, Naruto defended her from Sasuke... but then suggested that she was only worried about how competing might mess up her appearance. As Kakashi eventually points out himself, Sasuke completely failed to understand his speech about how "those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash", as evidenced by his attempted assault of Nanako. Sasuke also doesn't grasp the significance of Sakura leaving Team Seven; in his mind, he's the one who left her behind, and rightly so, as she was too weak in his eyes to be worth his time. This also folds into his refusal to acknowledge how she's grown since then. Naruto also fails to grasp why Sakura left until she tells him outright, chewing him out for not noticing how she'd grown.

comment
It's Personal: Though she recognizes that it's unprofessional, Sakura can't help drawing a little pleasure from seeing her former jonin instructor deal with the consequences of his actions and inaction. Baki takes Sakura's possession of the Scorpion Summoning Contract as a personal insult, as it originally belonged to the first Kazekage. This spurs him to confront her directly in hopes of winning it back and results in his demise. Played for Drama in Chapter 43; Sakura decides to target Sunagakure in no small part because she wants revenge for the part they played in the Konoha Crush and the death of her parents. This fuels her horrified self-realization that participating in the Cycle of Revenge makes her no better than them.

It's All About Me: Sasuke is incredibly self-absorbed, much to Kakashi's dismay. Nothing matters more than getting what he wants, now; his loyalty to Konoha is practically nonexistent, and he sees nothing wrong with trying to outright murder his fellow leaf-nin if he perceives them as getting in the way of his desires. Naruto also has some issues with this, primarily due to how he views himself like a storybook hero and tries to cast everyone around him into suitable roles.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Sasuke's overconfidence played a key role in driving Sakura out of Team Seven, as he dismissed all of her concerns and accused her of 'holding him back'. In a way, he's right; without her around, his ego swells out of control, to the point that he brazenly assaults her teammate Nanako in the streets when they reject his demands to fight.

Doublethink: Sasuke engages in this a lot, especially when it comes to Sakura. Specifically, he asserts that she didn't leave Team Seven to pursue better prospects elsewhere; he made her leave, and was completely justified in doing so, given how she was nothing but a useless weakling who was "holding him back". Yet somehow, she's also entirely responsible for the problems he's encountered since then, even as he insists that she's still weak and utterly incapable of getting in his way.

The anime mocked Tenten's desire to become as legendary as Tsunade by depicting her as an incompetent healer. Here, Tenten is skilled enough that she provides valuable support when her team shows up to reinforce the retrieval team.

The Chains of Commanding: Shikaku deals with this after becoming the Hokage, especially when Hiashi puts him in a terrible position by refusing to recognize his daughter's last wishes and accusing Masato of bloodline theft. It's made painfully clear that Shikaku completely disagrees with Hiashi, but the Hyuga head forces his hand in ways that make everything significantly worse for all involved. Sakura also feels the weight of her position, all the more so following the founding of Hanagakure. Much like Shikaku, the responsibility sits uneasily on her shoulders, and she has to make decisions she doesn't particularly care for, such as recruiting a civilian workforce from the Land of Waves through Engineered Heroics or keeping her teammates Locked Out of the Loop.

In Spite of a Nail: Even though Sakura didn't believe that Team Seven was ready to enter the Chuunin Exams, she still winds up participating with two different teammates: Masato and Nanako. Dosu and his teammates still harass Team Seven in the Forest of Death, much to Kabuto's surprise. Fortunately for him, Rock Lee and Team Ten still intervene. Many of the preliminary matches remain the same, including Lee facing Gaara. Despite Sasuke not making it past the preliminaries, Kakashi still teaches him the Chidori. Something he comes to regret after Sasuke uses it against Nanako, then Naruto. During the Konoha Crush, Shikamaru still accompanies the group pursuing Gaara, then splits away to distract the ten Oto-nin that were trailing them. Itachi and Kisame still attempt to infiltrate Konoha in the wake of the Konoha Crush, and face mostly the same opposition, with the addition of Ibiki. Despite having a very different opponent during the Retrieval Mission, Jirobo hits the same Berserk Button he does in canon by insulting their leader, and faces another Dangerous Forbidden Technique as a result.

Know When to Fold 'Em: Kankurou concedes their preliminary match upon seeing that their opponent has placed an explosive tag on Karasu, not wanting his puppet to be blown apart when he doesn't have all the resources necessary to rebuild them. Along similar lines, Shino surrenders during their match because Sakura had wiped out most of his kikaichu, rendering it too difficult to continue. Though it's implied that he also conceded out of respect for how Sakura apologizing for what she'd done. Sakura notes the wisdom of this when Shikamaru surrenders during his match with Temari, musing that if it were up to her, they'd be promoted for showing good judgment rather than pressing forward. When Sakura's team unexpectedly encounters the Sound Four while returning from a mission, they swiftly realize that they're outclassed and focus on retreating, with one member sending up a flare for help. Something similar happens with Kakuzu and Hidan. Sakura is also fully willing to sacrifice herself in hopes of distracting the Third Tsuchikage long enough for her teammates to escape.

One-Steve Limit: Averted; one of Sakura's summons, Ginmaru, shares their name with the head samurai she meets during the Riku escort mission.

Locked Out of the Loop: Sakura chooses to keep most of her team in the dark about Riku's death, as the truth is an S-class secret that could seriously endanger everyone staying in Hanagakure.

comment
Important Hair Accessory: Weaponized by Sakura, who threads ninja wire into her hair so that anyone attempting to grab it receives a nasty surprise. Hidan can attest to its effectiveness.

Betrayal by Inaction
 Space to Breathe (Naruto) (Fanfic) / int_f46eebb
comment
Betrayal by Inaction: Most of Sakura's frustrations with Kakashi boil down to this. Not only was he an Apathetic Teacher who largely neglected her in favor of the boys, he made no move to correct how they treated her. His failure to step in and defend her right to voice her concerns about entering the Chunin Exams proved to be the last straw, and she vents to Ibiki that "My teammates are so self-centred, and Kakashi-sensei does nothing to even try and fix it."
