Hinata is also a likely candidate. Given her long - standing admiration for Naruto, an arranged marriage between them could develop into a really sweet and loving relationship, with Hinata's gentle nature complementing Naruto's more brash side.
Well, one potential partner could be Omoi. I know he's male, but in some fanfictions, gender - bending or same - sex relationships are explored. Omoi's unique personality, with his over - thinking and yet loyal nature, could create an interesting relationship with Naruto. However, if we stick to the more traditional female partners, Yugito Nii could also be a great choice. She was a jinchuriki, just like Naruto, and they could share a special bond based on that shared experience.
Some other potential characters could be Anko Mitarashi. She has a unique personality and could add an interesting flavor to the harem. Kurenai Yuhi could also be a possibility, with her experience and maturity. And from the new generation, Sarada could potentially be in a future - set version of this fanfiction, with new twists on the arranged marriage concept.
Sakura could also be a candidate. Given her strong personality, she might initially resist the arranged marriage. But as she gets to know Naruto better and realizes the potential of the Kyuubi's power, she could warm up to the idea. Plus, it would create a lot of drama considering her previous relationship with Sasuke.
Sakura could be a potential partner. Since they are friends from the original series, a forced marriage situation between them would bring a whole new dynamic. There would be a lot of room for exploring their relationship beyond just friendship.
Another plot idea could be that the arranged marriage is part of a prophecy. Naruto, being the main character, is thrust into this situation because it's believed that his union with the other person is the key to saving the ninja world. This would add an element of destiny and mystery to the story.
A possible plot is that the arranged marriage is a part of a larger plan to strengthen the village's medical and ninja forces. Naruto's combat skills combined with Shizune's medical expertise could be a powerful combination. They might have to go on missions together as a married couple, which would force them to rely on each other. Also, there could be a plot where Tsunade plays a role in their relationship, either guiding Shizune or giving Naruto advice on how to be a good husband. This would add an interesting dynamic to the story.
Ladybug and Chat Noir could be obvious gym partners. Their superhero abilities would make for some interesting workouts. Chat Noir's cat - like agility would be great for things like climbing the ropes in the gym, while Ladybug's precision could help with things like target practice.
A potential plot twist could be that the arranged marriage was actually a ruse set up by an enemy. They might be planning to use the opportunity of the marriage to get closer to Naruto and somehow steal the Kyuubi's power.
A young lord from House Tully could be a potential suitor. The Tullys have a long - standing alliance with the Starks, and such a marriage would strengthen that bond. He might be a gentle and scholarly type, very different from Arya's rough - and - tumble nature, which could create an interesting dynamic as they learn to understand each other.
One challenge could be communication. Naruto is often very straightforward and Temari can be a bit more reserved in expressing her emotions. This might lead to misunderstandings. For example, Naruto might think Temari is angry when she's just being cautious. Another challenge is the difference in their fighting styles. Naruto relies on his chakra - based jutsu while Temari uses her fan - based attacks. It could be difficult for them to find a common ground when it comes to training together or fighting side by side.
