Sakura would likely develop more confidence in her diplomatic skills. She has to navigate a new village and a new relationship. She might become more assertive in expressing her opinions, especially when it comes to helping Gaara rule Suna. Gaara, for his part, would become more open. His cold exterior would soften as Sakura shows him love and understanding. He would start to trust more and be more willing to show vulnerability.
In such a fanfiction, their relationship could develop in a rather complex way. Gaara, due to his past traumas, would be hesitant to open up completely. Sakura, with her empathetic nature, would try to understand him. They would start with small conversations about their villages and their dreams. As they share more, they realize that they are both lonely in their own ways. Their relationship would then progress as they support each other through difficult times, like when Gaara has to deal with political unrest in the Sand Village and Sakura has to face her own insecurities within the Leaf Village.
In the fanfiction, Sakura's character may develop in a way that she uses her medical knowledge to help Neji's clan. This would make her more respected in the clan and also change Neji's perception of her. Neji, in turn, could help Sakura become a stronger ninja in combat. His skills and training methods could enhance her abilities. As they grow closer in the arranged marriage, Sakura could become more confident in her relationship status, and Neji could become more in touch with his emotions, something he was suppressing before due to his clan's expectations.
It would develop slowly. Naruto would be kind and patient, which would gradually make Sakura open up to him. Maybe they start with small conversations about their day, and then it evolves into deeper discussions about their dreams and fears.
For Naruto, in an arranged marriage with Mei, his character would likely shift towards a more diplomatic and worldly one. He'd have to deal with the politics of the Hidden Mist village and Mei's leadership style. His usual go - to of brute force and determination would need to be tempered with more finesse. Mei, on the other hand, would develop a more collaborative side. She's used to ruling somewhat autocratically in the Hidden Mist. But with Naruto, she'd have to learn to share power and decision - making. Their interactions would also likely bring out more of their personal insecurities. Naruto might worry about not being good enough for Mei and the Hidden Mist, while Mei might be concerned about Naruto undermining her authority. Overcoming these insecurities together would be a major part of their character development.
Sasuke would likely start off as his aloof self. But as he spends time with Hinata, he might soften. He'd notice her strength in her own quiet way. For Hinata, she'd become more confident. She'd have to stand up to Sasuke's sometimes cold demeanor. Eventually, Sasuke would learn to appreciate Hinata's loyalty and Hinata would see Sasuke's hidden vulnerabilities.
Naruto might become more mature. In an arranged marriage with Kushina, he would have to take on more responsibilities. He'd learn to be more patient and understanding, as Kushina could be strong - willed. For example, he'd have to consider her opinions in decision - making.
Naruto would likely develop more patience and understanding. His wild and sometimes impulsive nature might be tempered by Yugao's calmness. For example, he might learn to think before he acts when he's around her. Yugao could become more open and expressive. Usually so reserved, being with Naruto, who is so full of life, could make her come out of her shell. She might start to show her emotions more freely.
Another way their friendship might develop is through their shared experiences of leadership. Sakura, as a key figure in Konoha's medical team, and Gaara, as the Kazekage, both have responsibilities towards their people. They could start by discussing how to handle difficult situations in their villages. This common ground would bring them closer and lead to a deep - rooted friendship.
For Marinette, her character development could involve her learning to balance her love for Adrien with her own identity. In the context of an arranged marriage, she might feel pressured to conform to what she thinks Adrien or his family wants. However, through various interactions, she could break free from that and be true to herself. This might include standing up for her fashion choices or her friendships. Adrien's development could be about him realizing the importance of real relationships. He's been in the spotlight for so long that he may not have experienced genuine connection. Through the arranged marriage with Marinette, he could learn about loyalty, sacrifice, and the beauty of a relationship based on mutual understanding rather than just appearance or status.
One possible plot could be that at first, Sakura and Gaara are both hesitant and a bit resistant to the arranged marriage. Sakura might be worried about leaving her friends and her life in Konoha, while Gaara, who has always been a bit of an outcast, might be unsure how to handle a relationship. But as they start spending time together, they discover they have more in common than they thought. They both have strong wills and a desire to protect their respective villages. Slowly, they start to develop feelings for each other.
