Man, that pairing sends me right back to the mid-2000s fanfiction.net era. It's kind of an evergreen niche, but the landscape has shifted. The bulk of older, classic fics are still on FanFiction.Net, honestly. You'll find hundreds there, though quality is a real mixed bag and the site's sorting functions are awful.
AO3 is where the more recent, curated, and often explicit works have migrated. The tagging system is a lifesaver for finding specific dynamics—'Uchiha Madara & Haruno Sakura', 'Sakura/Madara', all that. It also feels like the writers on Archive of Our Own tend to be more ambitious with plot and character depth, maybe because they're freed from some content restrictions.
Don't ignore the smaller, dedicated Naruto fanfic forums either, like 'The Fanfiction Forum' or 'Shinobi Refuge'. They sometimes host amazing, detailed longfics that never get cross-posted. You have to dig, but stumbling on a forum thread with active discussion and chapter-by-chapter reactions is a unique experience the big archives can't replicate.

Archive of Our Own has the biggest collection these days, no question. The tagging system means you can sort by kudos or comments and find the top-rated stuff instantly, which is honestly a lifesaver. I’ve been on there for years, and the quality of writing you can find for this pairing is pretty high, especially for longer, more character-focused fics. Sometimes I'll check FanFiction.Net out of nostalgia, but the organization feels clunky now.
There's also a surprisingly active pocket on Quotev, which I stumbled into last year. It skews younger and has more chat-style fics, but that can be fun for a quick read. Wattpad has some too, but you really have to dig through the tags to find the good ones among all the reader inserts.

I've actually found most dedicated Naruto fanfic readers just stick to Archive of Our Own these days. The tagging system lets you filter exactly what you're looking for, and the 'Naruto/Sakura' tag has like 18,000 works last I checked. Some are pretty old but the fandom's still active. A lot of authors who used to post on FanFiction.Net have migrated their popular SasuSaku-turned-NaruSaku fics over there because the interface is better for long, novel-length stories. Wattpad has them too but the quality's more hit-or-miss; you get some great hidden ones, but also a ton of one-shots written by younger fans. Surprisingly, I've stumbled across some really well-plotted ones on Quotev, of all places. It's not a primary hub, but the community around specific ships there can be weirdly dedicated.
AO3 definitely feels like the main library now. The collections and bookmark notes other readers leave are super helpful for sifting through the mountain of content. Makes finding a good slow-burn or a postwar fix-it fic way less of a chore.

Man, trying to pin down a single platform for Sasori/Sakura fics is a journey. This ship's community is scattered, maybe 'cause it's a less common pairing. AO3 is probably the biggest central hub these days, where longer, plot-heavy fics tend to gather. You can find some absolute bangers there with amazing world-building.
That said, don't sleep on fanfiction.net for the classics. A lot of the foundational 'SasoSaku' fics from the mid-2000s are still archived there, and sometimes the old guard never cross-post. The tagging is a mess compared to AO3, though, so prepare for some manual searching.
I've also stumbled upon dedicated threads for them on sites like SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity, but those are more for discussion and fic snippets rather than complete stories. Tumblr can be surprisingly good for shorter headcanon drabbles and moodboards that fuel the imagination, even if it's not a platform for hosting multi-chapter epics.
