In Wild Cherry Blossom Sakura manages to push Sasuke out of the way of Orochimaru's cursed seal causing him to land his bite on her instead and awakening fragmented memories of a previous life. Who was she and why does Kyuubi know her as Godslayer? This fanfic has been rewritten at least three times the latest one is entitled A Fractured Blossom. While I’m not a Sakura hater I don’t particularly like her. to me her early portrayal in the manga was of girl that who ignored the flaws of the person she likes simply because he’s good looking. As the series progressed and she develops genuine feeling for him her personality becomes similar to beaten wife syndrome. Part II of the manga has her as a more indebt heroin, she finally realizes that that the only way to stop Sasuke is to kill him. Unfortunately this decision is still motivated by her feeling for him. He wants to kill him to save him from himself not as punishment for all that he’s done.
Lets get back on topic everyone knows about inner Sakura which is a manifestation of Sakura’s inner emotions. In addition to comic relief, Inner Sakura represents Sakura's actual opinion on things when she outwardly displays something opposite. The various fanfics introduce ranma as a third personality. Though some might disagree this seems to complicate the matter the more you read. i.e. the longer the fanfic the more confusing it becomes. So to fix this problem instead of having ranma as an until now unknown personality why not just have Inner Sakura be the representation of him.
My idea is combine the concept of A Fractured Blossom with Lu Dragon's Star of War. In Star of war. using an Amazon magical artifact, Mousse, Ryouga, and Tatewaki banish Ranma, where he is reborn as a five year old on the world of Fist of the North Star. There, during a village raid, he meets Kenshiro who decide to train Ranma to be the next generation's master of the Hokuto Shin Ken style. Instead of being reborn Ranma is resurrected as Sakura Haruno. In Star of War Ranma still had his skill and his high ki reserves so when Kenshiro agreed to train him he blocked them so Ranma wouldn't end up burning out his five year old body which couldn't handle such high reserves of energy. I haven’t decided if Inner Sakura is the natural and subconscious attempt to do the same thing or the magic of the artifact used to send Ranma to the Naruto universe. This will be used to explain Sakura’s natural strength against genjutsu and any other technique that attacks the mind. Remember Sakura will have no knowledge of Ranma, he will just be a representation of her inner personality. However there will be bleed through such a he high level of chakra control or her ability to quickly learn new techniques like the tree walking jutsu. So even though she has no way of accessing her high energy reserves or even knowledge of them they’re still there preventing genjutsu techniques from properly connecting to her chakra coils.
First Half
The first of the fic will have to be very similar the first half of the manga which means that Sasuke will be the one who gets bitten by orochimaru. I’m opting to have the moment where Sasuke leaves the village and the traumatic experience that cracks the mental blocks that keep Sakura and Ranma as separate personality. Ranma will begin to bleed through as start to fuse with Sakura (for example think of the Ranma/Ah my Goddess Rain). As the story progresses Sakura will show more and more of Ranma’s mannerisms, outlook ect. This is also true for her ki reserves, as more of ranma bleeds through the more access Sakura will have to those reserves. After careful debating I decided that the moment during the Five Kage Summit Arc where Sakura found Sasuke about to kill Karin. When Sasuke attempts to kill her Sakura will gain the last of her sealed memories. Ranma’s death, battles fought. She gains his pain it is here that the resurrection of Ranma is finally complete.
Ranma will imprint his portrayal with the Uchiha’s. in God of war Ranma’s training in Hokuto shin ken allowed him to stay calm enough not to go on a murderous rampage the moment he found his way back to his home dimension. Imprinting his pain on the Uchiha is a way for Ranma to fight her demons so that she will be better equipped to confront Ryoga Kuno and Mousse. Things like creating ways to mimic/combat the Uchiha abilities as well as general insults such as taking the title of Shunshin from Shisui Uchiha. Combining Ranma’s skill, Sakura’s medical knowledge and chakra control, with this will make for a very dangerous individual.
I haven really decided on a matchup Samui would be my first choose if she wasn’t so much older then her. I find it ignoring that there are so many fanfics where Ranma-chan ends up with a man. When next to cats it seems to be his greatest fear. The only fic where Ranma ends up with a man that I found believable was Tenchi and Ranma Together Forever.
Ranma will go back to her home universe in her early to mid twenties. About 5 to 10 years after the Ninja wars this will give Ranma enough time to get her affairs in order.
Second Half
the main difference between the second half of Star of War and this fic the difference by which the main characters are raised. So the their approaches as well as their reaction will be completely different. Plus the fact that SOW Ranma was raeborn as a man and this Ranma is reborn as a girl.
Mouuse, Ryoga, and Kuno will also be different. In Star of War each fighter trained by strengthening all the flaws that Ranma constantly exploited. I don’t plan changing Mousse that much the blind fighting and advanced hidden weaponry really interests me. Ryoga however will have to be given a major overhaul. The originals use of earth based techniques would be too easily exploited so I’m thinking increased emphases on agility and defense similar to how Kenpachi from bleach can fight with all of his senses taken away and still dodge sword strikes. I want to take away the magical sword away from Kuno and turn him more into an all around fighter may give him a fighting style similar to Madoka Mawari or the Natsume’s from Tenjho tenge or Shinmei-ryū
