Well, in this fanfiction, perhaps the arranged marriage is a political move between their clans. Sakura might initially see Neji as just another part of a deal she has no say in. However, Neji, who is very perceptive, starts to understand Sakura's frustration. He tries to make the situation more bearable for her. As they train together and face various challenges in the ninja world, they develop a mutual respect. This respect then slowly turns into love, and they become a power couple, not just in terms of their relationship but also in influencing the politics between their clans.
The story could start with Sakura and Neji being forced into the arranged marriage. Sakura is angry because she loves someone else (maybe Sasuke at first). Neji is also not too thrilled as he has his own focus on improving his clan's status. But as time passes, they start to communicate more. Neji realizes Sakura's intelligence and her medical skills could be an asset to his clan. Sakura sees Neji's loyalty and his strength. They start to work together on missions, and during these missions, they save each other's lives multiple times. This shared experience brings them closer, and they begin to have feelings for each other that they never expected at the start of this arranged marriage situation.
Maybe there's a plot twist where Sakura discovers that Neji was forced into the arranged marriage against his will. This could lead to her trying to find a way to break the arrangement in a way that doesn't cause too much trouble for their families or clans. However, in the process, they start to develop real feelings for each other.
One possible storyline could be that Naruto is initially hesitant about the arranged marriage. He's so used to his own way of life and has always been focused on becoming Hokage. But as he gets to know Yugao, he discovers her quiet strength and loyalty. Yugao, on the other hand, is also reserved at first but slowly warms up to Naruto. They start training together and find that they can support each other in their respective ninja goals, and eventually fall in love in a more natural way than they expected from an arranged situation.
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.
Neji is rather stoic and reserved, while Sakura is more outspoken and emotional. At first, their personalities might clash as Neji may find Sakura too impulsive. But over time, Sakura's warmth could start to melt Neji's cold exterior, and Neji's calmness could help Sakura be more level - headed.
One possible plot is that the arranged marriage is a political move to strengthen a clan's bond. Neji might be conflicted as he has his own goals and dreams in the ninja world. Naruko, on the other hand, could be more open - minded. They could start off on the wrong foot, but as time passes, they discover that they have a lot in common, like their determination to protect Konoha. Their relationship could grow as they train together and learn to rely on each other.
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.
Well, one possible plot could be that at first, Sakura is hesitant about the arranged marriage. She only sees Gaara as the once - feared and cold - hearted shinobi. But as they start spending time together, she discovers his kind heart beneath his tough exterior. They might go on missions together, and Gaara shows his protective side towards Sakura, which gradually makes her fall for him.
One possible interesting plot could be the initial resistance from both Naruto and Neji towards the arranged marriage. Naruto, being his free - spirited self, might not be too keen on the idea at first. Neji, with his strict upbringing, might also have reservations. But as they start to spend time together, they gradually discover each other's hidden depths and begin to develop feelings.
Another possibility is that they are rivals in a friendly way. They could constantly compete to see who can improve faster in different aspects such as medical ninjutsu (for Sakura) and Byakugan - related skills (for Neji). This rivalry could push them both to reach new heights in their respective skills and at the same time, deepen their respect for each other.
Well, Sasuke being jealous in this arranged marriage fanfic could lead to some intense moments. He could start training more vigorously to prove his worth to Sakura. Since he has a prideful nature, he wouldn't easily admit his jealousy. But his actions would speak louder. He might get into arguments with the elders who arranged the marriage if he feels they are not considering Sakura's feelings or his own connection with her.
