Part 1 and Part 2

So Sakura starts studying by following Shizune's instructions and reading any book suggestion she can get her hands on. Much like Sasuke being trained by Anko as a bonus for his cursed mark, at first she's still Kakashi's student and only asking for Shizune's help on her free time. (And Naruto at this point is already being taken around on small missions with Jiraya).

Soon enough Shizune decides she's ready for some practice and in no time Sakura starts showing results. That's when she invites Tsunade to take a look at her progress.

Tsunade is quite please and surprised by it, and officially assigns Sakura to train under Shizune (she's hokage she doesn't have all that time, and who's better to pass down her teachings than her own student).

Sakura will also train more taijutsu in the following years (and Tsunade could take some time here and there to give her some tips) so that she's not only in the back waiting for her teammates to get hurt. Sakura wants to fight, she wants to become strong to protect her friends.

Bonus (watch out Kakashi):

Part 1

So following Tsunade's return, the village falls back to a peaceful mood. Missions begin to be assigned again, the sick and wounded from the Konoha crush attack are treated, and everyone seems ready to accept the new Hokage. But Orochimaru still wants his Uchiha and sends the sound four after him.

Anko protects Sasuke and fights off the four of them, and because he didn't have to stay in the hospital after Itachi showed up, she had been able to guide and train Sasuke here and there so he helps the fight as well.

They do win, - Anko nearly dies during the combat, and that gets her to unlock her mark's second stage.

And that's Sakura's first personal contact with a medic ninja, Shizune. She is obviously impressed and grateful she was there to help Sasuke, but most of all she is shocked Kakashi ran to her for help. Sakura is smart, too smart for her own good even. She knows her sensei is great and skilled, but she's noticed the difference in treatment between her and the boys, even if Kakashi doesn't mean to.

He protects her more, praises her more, but also pushes her less, lectures and guides her less than the boys. She understood it as part of being a 'kunoichi' - she would have to always work harder if she wanted to be on the same level as her male teammates.

So hearing that another woman - another kunoichi like her - was Kakashi's go to for help, for any matter, had Sakura intrigued.

Part 2

Hear me out... Anko taking Sasuke under her wing right after the chunin exams!

It's very simple, Kakashi asks for her help with sealing the cursed mark and instead she takes it one step further - She starts teaching Sasuke. That way they can keep an eye on him, the last Uchiha and the one Orochimaru is after, and she can work some of her own issues and traumas and basically become an actual developed character

Anko could also keep him safe from Itachi (by not letting them meet) and kick the Sound four's asses (by finally unlocking her cursed mark's second stage) when they show up to take Sasuke. So Sasuke doesn't leave Konoha and killing Orochimaru becomes their new goal. (They team up against him and Kabuto in the future) And it can be a big and dramatic moment of freedom for both of them.

And of course I have some ideas for Naruto, Sakura and Sai as well, but for now we start with Sasuke!

I like to think Anko is a bit more of a rebel against Konoha so she wouldn't keep as many secrets from Sasuke, she would actually encourage him breaking rules and increasingly evade the system, and help guide him towards Itachi and the truth about the Uchiha massacre - she can also investigate a little on her own.

And on the topic of Itachi, he can be an actual spy! Working for the village and actually reporting back about the Akatsuki - and doing this mostly to keep Sasuke safe, since Danzou's still out there and Sasuke was his one slip up in the massacre.

I don't know if I want Itachi to survive or die in the end, but he and Sasuke will make peace before that. Also before that (and before they kill Orochimaru) Danzou's gonna put Sai on team 7 to watch Sasuke - and of course they're all gonna become bffs and join forces (maybe even with Itachi) to end Danzou <3.
