Sakura might also use the plot device of sharing secrets. She could tell Naruto some of Hinata's secrets (with Hinata's permission, of course) that make Naruto see Hinata in a new light. Or she could tell Hinata some things about Naruto that Hinata didn't know before, deepening their connection.
One common plot device is Sakura setting up 'accidental' meetings. For example, she might make it seem like Naruto and Hinata just happen to be at the same place at the same time, like at a local festival. This gives them an opportunity to interact without it feeling too forced.
Another plot device could be Sakura organizing a training session where Naruto and Hinata have to work together closely. During this training, they get to see each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they start to rely on each other. This mutual reliance can then turn into deeper feelings. Also, Sakura could be there to give them little hints and encouragements throughout the training, guiding them towards a relationship.
One common plot device is the love triangle. It creates drama as Sakura may be jealous of Hinata's relationship with Naruto. Another is the redemption arc for Naruto's feelings. Maybe he used to be confused about his feelings for Sakura but then realizes his true love is Hinata. And there could be a friendship break - up plot device where Naruto distances himself from Sakura due to his newfound love for Hinata.
In many such fanfictions, the power struggle plot device is used. If Sakura becomes too powerful or tries to assert her dominance in a way that overshadows Naruto and Hinata's relationship or their own achievements, they might start to hate her. For example, if Sakura gets a high - ranking position in the village and starts making decisions that affect Naruto and Hinata negatively, it can fuel their dislike. Another aspect is the character arc plot device. The writer might give Sakura a negative character arc where she becomes more self - centered or greedy, which would make Naruto and Hinata dislike her.
Well, in fanfiction, Sakura might use her intelligence and understanding of both Naruto and Hinata to bring them together. She could notice the little things, like how Hinata blushes around Naruto and how Naruto unconsciously looks for Hinata in a crowd. Sakura could then subtly plant ideas in their heads. For instance, she might mention to Naruto how Hinata is always there for him when he's in trouble. And to Hinata, she could say how Naruto really values her presence. This way, she gradually builds a connection between them until they realize their feelings for each other.
One common plot device is the 'forced proximity'. For example, they might be on a mission together where they have to rely on each other. Another is the 'healing factor', where Hinata helps Sasuke deal with his inner demons. Maybe she uses her kind heart to make him see a different side of life.
An accidental encounter on Earth could also work. Jane could be at a scientific conference, and Thor, who is on a mission to understand Midgard better, just happens to be there. They lock eyes across the room, and that instant connection is still there. They start talking, and the old feelings start to come back as they catch up on each other's lives.
A common plot device is the misinformation or false memories within the story. For instance, Sakura might have been raised believing one thing about her father, but then through a series of events in the fanfiction, she discovers that Madara is her real father. Another device could be the use of a special bloodline or power that only makes sense if Madara is her father. This power then becomes a central part of the plot as Sakura tries to master it and understand her true identity. Also, the idea of a fated encounter between Madara and Sakura's mother, which was kept secret for some reason, is often used to drive the story forward.
One common plot device is the revelation of a hidden past. For example, there could be a long - lost memory or a secret agreement that ties Kakashi to being Sakura's father. Another is the use of emotional turmoil. Sakura might find out about this relationship in a very dramatic way, like during a battle when she's at her lowest point and this revelation gives her new strength.
Another theme is the development of their relationship against the backdrop of the ninja world. They often face challenges together earlier than in the original plot. For example, they might have to deal with the disapproval of some of the village elders who think they are too young or not suitable for each other. But they overcome these obstacles through their mutual love and determination.
Another plot device could be a mind - link or a shared vision. Maybe Naruto has a moment where he links minds with a past Hokage who was an expert in Rasengan. Through this connection, he gains instant knowledge on how to form and use it. It's a more supernatural way of learning compared to the traditional training.
One common plot device is Hinata's silent pining. She'll often watch Naruto from afar, her feelings hidden but evident to the reader. This builds tension and a sense of longing in the story.
