In some fanfictions, Sakura might focus on her medical career more intensively. She throws herself into treating patients, traveling to different villages to offer her skills. This newfound purpose helps her shift her attention away from Sasuke.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might move on from Sakura by focusing on his ninja duties. He throws himself into more difficult missions, realizing that his life has a greater purpose than just pining over Sakura. This way, he gradually distances himself from his old feelings as he becomes more dedicated to protecting the village.
Another way could be through his influence. Sasuke has a certain presence and leadership quality. He might make it clear to Karin that any harm to Sakura would not be tolerated. This could be through direct communication or by making it known in their group or among their peers that Sakura is under his protection.
In some fanfictions, Sakura may be determined to find Sasuke and bring him back. She could set out on her own journey, facing various challenges along the way, and growing both as a person and as a ninja in the process of trying to reunite with him.
The relationship often becomes more strained. Sasuke's punishment can make Sakura feel resentful at first. But over time, it can also lead to her becoming more independent as she tries to prove herself to him.
Another difference is the emotional tone. Regular fanfiction can have a wide range of emotions, but possessive fanfiction often has a lot of tension, jealousy, and angst related to the possessive relationship. For example, if another character shows interest in Sakura, Sasuke's possessive side will flare up in a way that is more emphasized than in regular fanfiction. It creates a more drama - filled and often more romantic (in a possessive sense) story.
Sakura could also try to stand up for herself. If she believes that Sasuke is being unfair in his anger, she may argue back. For instance, if Sasuke is angry because of a misunderstanding, Sakura might try to clarify the situation and prove her point.
She may initially be angry. Sakura is a proud and strong character. She could confront Sasuke and Ino, demanding an explanation. After that, she might decide to become even stronger, both in her ninja skills and her emotional resilience, to show Sasuke what he's missing.
In some fanfictions, Sakura's reaction could be more complex. She might be hurt not just physically but also emotionally. This could lead her to question her relationship with Sasuke and might cause her to make some big decisions, like whether to continue trying to reach out to him or to cut him off completely.
Sakura might be heartbroken. She's been in love with Sasuke for so long. She could initially go into denial, thinking it's just a temporary thing. Then she might get angry and vow to prove herself to Sasuke, perhaps by becoming an even stronger ninja.
She could be heartbroken. Sakura has always loved Sasuke deeply, so his leaving for Naruto would be a huge blow to her. She might initially be in denial, not believing that Sasuke would choose Naruto over her.
