Maybe Sakura leaves the village because she has a falling - out with the leadership over a certain decision regarding the future of the village. She then embarks on a journey to find her own path, discovers a new form of chakra control, and returns as a stronger shinobi with a new perspective on the village's politics.
Well, in some fanfictions, Sonic might leave because he's been tricked. Maybe a villain convinces him that he's not good enough for Amy and the baby. Amy then has to go on a journey to find Sonic and make him see the truth. Or, Sonic could leave due to a misunderstanding. For example, he overhears something wrong and thinks Amy doesn't really love him, and in his haste, he leaves without giving her a chance to explain.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Sakura had some unique ability that was not accepted or was feared in the village at such a young age. This led to her family deciding to leave the village so that she could grow up without being ostracized or in danger because of this ability.
In some fanfictions, she might leave to fulfill a prophecy or a special mission. There could be an ancient prophecy that only she could fulfill, and it required her to leave the village at that young age. She might have been guided by some mysterious force or a vision that she believed was leading her towards her destiny.
One possible storyline could be that Sakura is injured during a battle. Maybe she's protecting someone and takes a hit that leaves her seriously wounded. Her friends then have to find a way to heal her while also dealing with the threat that caused the injury.
Well, a story could be that Sakura gets the Byakugan through some sort of experimental jutsu gone wrong (or right). She then has to learn how to control it. Maybe she starts seeing things she doesn't understand at first, like chakra flow in a whole new way. She could end up training with Hinata to better understand the Byakugan. And in battles, she combines her brute strength with the Byakugan - powered precision, making her an even more formidable opponent.
One possible storyline could be Sakura Haruno discovers a powerful artifact in the Naruto universe that gives her the abilities and guise of Catwoman. She then uses these new skills to protect Konoha from a new threat that the regular shinobi forces can't handle. For example, a group of thieves with unique jutsu that can steal people's chakra. Sakura, as Catwoman, uses her stealth and enhanced physical abilities to track them down.
One possible storyline could be Kakashi taking young Sakura under his wing for special training. He might notice her potential beyond just her medical skills and start teaching her advanced ninjutsu techniques. This could lead to a strong bond between them as mentor and student.

In some fanfictions, Sasuke might be in a situation where he has to choose between his goals and Sakura. His choice could end up hurting her. For instance, he decides to go on a very dangerous mission alone, knowing that Sakura is deeply in love with him and would be worried sick. His disregard for her feelings in this case is a form of emotional hurt. Also, there could be a scenario where Sasuke is forced to fight against Sakura in a misunderstanding, and his superior skills end up causing her serious injuries.
One reason could be a sense of disillusionment with the village's leadership. Maybe they discover some dark secrets about the elders and decide they can't be part of it anymore. Another reason might be to protect the village in their own way. They could think that by leaving, they draw danger away from their home. Also, they might be seeking a greater power or knowledge that can only be found outside the village.
