love the mature, powerful sakura so much.
i think this and ripple effect are the best naruto fics i've read so far.

Sakura catches Naruto's eye. 'No boat,' she mouths. 'He'd drive everyone crazy in half a day.'
'Told you so,' Naruto mouths back, grinning.
"I can read lips," Sasuke announces, not actually looking at either of them. His eyes are still red-and-black with the Sharingan, like he won't let his guard down for a second even around them. What will it take to make him trust them again?
'Oops,' Sakura mouths, undaunted, refusing to turn her head toward Sasuke. Her green eyes sparkle.

*g*

...
She took a drop of Naruto's blood when they returned from Hidden Sand. She took Sasuke's when they kidnapped him from Hidden Sound. With blood and ink, Sakura can track those two seals -- track her two... her two brothers -- to the ends of the earth. And if the webs of ink shatter on her scrolls, if the bonds of blood unravel, she'll track the killers and bring her family justice.
No matter how many oaths she has to break.

see? she's so cool, right? how can you not love her?
