His admission can also have an impact on other characters. For example, Naruto might be happy for his friends and it could strengthen the bonds within the group. Also, Sakura's character development might shift as she now has to navigate a relationship with Sasuke. She could become more confident in herself and in their relationship. And the overall tone of the fanfiction can become more positive and heart - warming.
The admission of love can drive the plot forward in various ways. It could set up new challenges for them, like dealing with enemies who might target Sakura to get to Sasuke. Or it could lead to them going on adventures together as a couple, exploring new places and having new experiences that they wouldn't have had if Sasuke hadn't admitted his love.
It often changes the dynamic between Sasuke and Sakura. It can lead to a more romantic and emotional storyline, with them spending more time together and sharing tender moments.
One possible scenario could be that Sasuke finally realizes his true feelings during a dangerous battle. He sees Sakura in harm's way and admits his love to protect her and give her strength.
It can create tension. Sasuke's jealousy may lead him to push Sakura away at first. He might be afraid to show his true feelings, so he acts distant. But this only makes Sakura more confused and a bit hurt. Eventually, if they communicate, it can strengthen their bond as they realize the depth of their feelings for each other.
Sasuke might become more isolated. Without Sakura's presence, he could sink deeper into his brooding and revenge - seeking state. He may start to question if he has truly lost something valuable, which could either harden his resolve further or make him more self - reflective in a negative way.
In some fanfictions, the curse mark can be a source of tension. If Sasuke's curse mark makes him more aggressive or unpredictable, Sakura might be worried about him. For example, he could accidentally lash out at her during a training session. This would put a strain on their relationship as she tries to help him and he tries to keep his distance to protect her from the curse mark's influence.
It can make the story less focused on sexual elements. Since Sakura avoids Sasuke in these types of fanfiction, it might shift the focus away from inappropriate relationships. For instance, the story could then explore other aspects of the Naruto universe like the friendships between other characters.
Often, shared memories play a huge part. They've been through so much together since they were kids. All those battles, training sessions, and emotional exchanges. As Sasuke reflects on these times in the fanfiction, he might start to see how Naruto has always been there for him and that his feelings are deeper than just friendship, thus realizing his love.
For their friends, it can be a huge shock. Naruto, for example, who has always been in the middle, trying to keep their relationship strong, might feel a sense of failure. Their other friends from the ninja teams might be divided in loyalty, some siding with Sasuke, some with Sakura. In the village, it could cause a scandal. The villagers might gossip and it could also affect the image of the Uchiha clan again, as Sasuke is part of it.
Jealousy can add a lot of drama. If Sasuke is jealous, he might become more possessive. For example, he could stop Sakura from going on certain missions with other male characters. This can cause arguments between them as Sakura values her independence. On the other hand, if Sakura is jealous, she might be more withdrawn. She may not be as affectionate towards Sasuke, which can make him feel confused and frustrated, straining their relationship.
It can create a lot of tension. For example, it might lead to some intense confrontations between them. Their interactions would no longer be friendly or loving but full of anger and resentment.
For Naruto, it would be a difficult situation. Naruto has always been Sasuke's friend and Sakura is also his teammate. He would likely try to mediate between them at first. But if the divorce goes through, it would put a strain on his relationships with both of them. He might feel a sense of failure as he always hoped for their happiness together.
