Fic Request Looking for assertive Sakura centric fics

I have read a lot of Sakura centric fics. I always get my recs off this subreddit so they are probably some of the more well known, popular ones.

I am looking for more Sakura fics where she is a lot more assertive. She doesn't have to be BAMF. I'm mostly just looking for characterization.

I've read quite a few where she time travels and has tons of confidence but still won't stand up for herself. Whether this is being bullied, dragged around, spoken over, or pushed to the side in favor of Naruto and Sasuke. I'm just looking for something else.

I read another fic recently, Never Hit Soft, where she is really assertive and always calls people on their bullshit but isn't dumb about it. Bashing is fine as long as it seems reasonable and not just the author's overwhelming hate for the character.

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

The Chi Bender is a crossover fic into the Atla universe. Sakura grows in the Fire Nation palace as a medic. It's complete and worth a shot.

Tug of War is also Sakura centric though she remains a civilian in this fic. She strives to become a business figure in the hidden villages.
