His friends would likely be shocked. Shikamaru, for example, would probably be disappointed in Sakura. He might try to comfort Naruto and tell him to think rationally. Choji might be angry on Naruto's behalf and want to confront Sakura. And Sasuke, if he's around, might have a complex reaction. He might feel a strange sense of satisfaction that Naruto is finally seeing Sakura's 'true' side, but also a bit of pity for Naruto.
Their friends' reactions would be quite diverse. For instance, Ino, who was once Sakura's rival, would have a mixed reaction. On one hand, she would be happy for Sakura as they have grown to be friends over the years. On the other hand, she might feel a bit envious. Choji would be excited and would look forward to all the feasts at the wedding. As for Lee, he would be over - the - moon for Naruto and Sakura. He would probably give them some long - winded and passionate speeches about love and friendship.
One possible outcome could be Naruto feeling extremely hurt and betrayed. He might distance himself from Sakura completely. In the context of fanfiction, he could also focus more on his training and his other friendships, like with Shikamaru or Kakashi. He might become more determined to prove himself without Sakura's support.
The story could take a dark turn. Naruto might become bitter and start to isolate himself. His friends would worry about him and try to bring him back to his old self. There could be a lot of drama and tension within the group.
Their friends outside of the immediate ninja team would also have different responses. Some of the villagers who have watched Naruto grow up might be overjoyed. They see Naruto as a hero, and seeing him find love would be like a fairytale come true for them. However, there might be a few who are more cynical and think that it's just a passing phase or that it could cause problems in the village in some way. But in general, the positive reactions would outweigh the negative ones.
Their friends would likely be very supportive. Kakashi would probably be proud of them, seeing them take on this new responsibility. Shikamaru might initially be a bit skeptical about how they'd manage it all, but would soon come around and offer his strategic advice on raising the baby. Ino would be excited and offer to help Sakura with baby - related things like shopping for cute clothes. Their friends would see it as a new chapter in Naruto and Sakura's lives and would be there to support them every step of the way.
Some of Naruto's friends could be really enthusiastic about his new friendship with Tora. Choji might offer Tora some of his favorite snacks. Ino could try to dress Tora up in cute little outfits. However, Neji might be a bit skeptical at first, thinking that Tora could be a distraction for Naruto. But as he sees the positive impact on Naruto, he would come around.
Sakura might be a bit hesitant at first. She's always seen Naruto as the go - lucky, friendly guy. But she would eventually support him if she saw that his intentions were good and that the empire was built on positive values like justice and equality. Sasuke, on the other hand, would be more cynical. He might suspect Naruto's motives initially, thinking it could lead to dictatorship. But after seeing Naruto's actions, he could become one of his closest advisors, using his own experiences to help Naruto avoid making mistakes. Shikamaru would be involved in the strategic planning. He would be both excited and worried about the whole idea, constantly thinking about the long - term consequences.
Sakura would probably be a bit skeptical at first. She'd worry about how Naruto could take care of another person when he's always so busy with his ninja duties. But once she sees how much Koneko needs a home and how Naruto is committed, she'd warm up to the idea. Sasuke might not show much emotion on the surface, but secretly he'd respect Naruto's decision. Shikamaru would think it's a troublesome situation but would also see the good in Naruto giving Koneko a chance at a better life.
Sasuke would likely be very conflicted. On one hand, he has his own relationship with Naruto and Sakura. He might initially be angry at Naruto for attacking Sakura. But if he discovers the reasons behind it, he may understand Naruto's actions to some extent.
At first, Naruto would likely be extremely shocked. He has always considered Sakura a friend and teammate, so this would be a huge blow. He might question his own judgment in trusting her.
