Summary
Title subject to change; reference to "Freedom in the Eyes of Another."The souls of Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto (respectively) became aware of their reincarnation cycle while they were Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto. Some of Sakura's personality and memories stick despite the cleansing between lives and lifetimes, giving Pepper a bit of a headstart with the whole ass-kicking business.(Without this, Pepper would have kicked just as much ass as Sakura before her-- and Mito before Sakura, and so on for the entirety of her soul's existence-- but. In all those lifetimes, she wasted a ridiculous amount of time figuring out who she was and how to kick ass and, even, whose ass to kick. This way is better.)
Note
I'm not sorry.

Pepper is in shape.
She is, point of fact, in better shape than just about everyone in the country. (The world.)
She hits her former levels of control and immediately starts pushing every spare bit of chakra into a seal over her forehead without breaking her stride.
It's not enough to be good enough.
Pepper will be excellent.
And then? She will be perfect.
(In this, at least. In this if nothing else, always.)
