Perhaps Sakura was being too overconfident and reckless in a battle situation, which put her teammates at risk. Kakashi, as her sensei, decides to punish her. He could make her practice teamwork exercises alone for a while, where she has to simulate different battle scenarios with puppets or something similar to learn how to better cooperate with others.
The main characters are obviously Kakashi and Sakura. Kakashi is the one doing the punishing, and Sakura is the one receiving it.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, Sakura discovers she has a baby from some sort of mysterious experiment gone wrong. Kakashi, being the reliable and kind - hearted ninja he is, steps in to help her. He teaches her how to be a strong mother while also protecting the baby from those who might want to use it for their own evil purposes. They end up forming a little family unit of sorts.
In this kind of fanfiction, perhaps Kakashi notices Sakura's potential that is being overlooked. He might start training her more intensively, leading to Sakura developing new jutsu skills. For example, Kakashi could teach her some of his own special techniques, like his lightning - style jutsu in a modified form suitable for Sakura.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Kakashi and Sakura are on a mission together in a cold, rainy place. They find shelter in an old hut. Sakura is shivering, so Kakashi finds some lemons and makes a hot lemon for her. This act of kindness warms her up not just physically but also brings them closer emotionally. They then share stories of their early days in the ninja academy.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Sakura wearing the mask - like Kakashi is a symbol of her growth. She might be emulating Kakashi's calm and collected demeanor. It could start with her being inspired by Kakashi's success in various missions. So, she decides to wear a similar mask to see if she can also gain an edge in her own missions, both in terms of physical combat and mental strategy.
Well, it could be that an enemy uses some sort of mind - control jutsu to force them into marriage as part of a cruel plan. In the fanfiction, Sakura might use her medical ninjutsu skills to try and find a way to break the forced bond while Kakashi uses his Sharingan - like skills to analyze the situation. Their friends in the village would be in shock, and some might try to help them while others might be suspicious of this sudden union. As they are forced to live together, they discover new sides of each other that they hadn't noticed before.
The plot of such a fanfiction could also explore how the ninja world views them. Since Sakura is now in Kakashi's position age - wise, she could be given more dangerous and important missions. She would have to deal with the political aspects of the ninja world. Meanwhile, Kakashi as a young ninja might be underestimated at first, but then prove his worth in unexpected ways. Their age - swap could also lead to different power developments, as their bodies and minds are now in different states compared to their original ages.
Well, it could be about Kakashi teaching Sakura some new ninjutsu skills in a really creative and unique way. Maybe he uses some unorthodox methods that are full of surprises for Sakura.
Perhaps it's a more light - hearted story. Kakashi makes house calls not for any serious reason but just to have a friendly chat with Sakura. They could end up sharing stories about their training, their friends, or their dreams. It could be a way for them to bond outside of the normal ninja - related activities.
The plot could involve Sakura finding a mysterious artifact related to Kakashi's ANBU days. As she tries to figure out its significance, she has to seek Kakashi's help. This brings them closer as they explore the secrets of his past together.
