It could be that while Sakura is restrained, other characters get involved. For example, Naruto or Sasuke might sense her distress. Naruto could try to talk Itachi's shadow clone down, appealing to their shared experiences. Sasuke, on the other hand, might be more aggressive in his approach to free Sakura, leading to a tense stand - off between him and Itachi's clone.
Perhaps the Itachi clone is being controlled by some external force in the fanfiction. This force might be using the clone to restrain Sakura as part of a larger scheme. It could be related to some power struggle within the Naruto universe created in the fanfiction. The clone, having no choice, has to follow the orders and restrain her.
Sakura could be a victim at first, being restrained by Itachi's shadow clone. This situation might put her in a position where she has to rely on her wits and skills to get out of it.
Well, the interaction between the Itachi clone and Sakura would likely be tense. Sakura, being a strong - willed character, would probably struggle against the restraint and question the clone's actions. The clone, on the other hand, would be stoic and focused on its task, not easily swayed by Sakura's protests.
Perhaps Sakura gets into trouble during a training exercise and Itachi has to rescue her, which then leads to a more intense and focused training regime. Another development could be that Sakura starts to think like Itachi in battle situations, using his tactics to outwit her opponents. It could also be that as she gets stronger, other characters start to notice and either become jealous or try to recruit her for their own purposes.
One possible plot development could be the exploration of the emotional turmoil for both Itachi and Sakura. Sakura might face challenges in her ninja life while dealing with the pregnancy. Itachi, on the other hand, would have to grapple with his own secrets and how this new situation affects his plans.
One possible plot development could be that as Sakura gets stronger with Itachi's help, she starts to gain the attention of other powerful shinobi. This could lead to some jealousy or admiration within the ninja community. For instance, some might see her new - found strength as a threat, while others might want to learn from her.
Well, in some plotlines, the Itachi clone might capture Sakura because it believes she holds the key to some hidden power or knowledge. It could be that in the fanfiction's universe, there are rumors about Sakura having a special ability that the clone's creator wants. So, the clone is sent to capture her. Or perhaps, it's a case of mistaken identity. The clone was sent to capture someone else, but it mistakes Sakura for that person and takes her. Then, the story could revolve around how Sakura tries to convince the clone of the mistake and how the clone reacts to this realization.
In this fanfiction, perhaps Sakura is struggling because the clone of Itachi has some sort of special power or ability that she is unable to break free from. It could be related to genjutsu, and she's constantly fighting against the illusions while in the grip of the clone. Another possibility is that she's in a moral dilemma while in this situation, for example, if she has to make a choice between saving herself or sacrificing for the greater good.
Perhaps Sakura's injury makes her realize she has some hidden strength within her. She could start to have visions or gain new abilities while she's recovering from the stabbing. This could then lead to a whole new arc in the fanfiction where she has to learn to control these new powers.
One possible plot development is that Naruto could be involved in the Uchiha clan affairs much earlier. Since he's older, he might have the power and influence to prevent the massacre. He could use his charisma and strength to broker peace between the Uchiha and the village leadership. Another development could be that Itachi becomes Naruto's apprentice of sorts. Naruto could teach Itachi some of his unique jutsu or ways of thinking that are different from the traditional Uchiha teachings.
