Another plot could be a misunderstanding. Gaara might misinterpret Sakura's actions as a threat to his village or to someone he cares about. His over - protectiveness then leads him to lash out at Sakura. He may not realize until later that he has hurt her deeply, both in terms of her body if there was a physical altercation and her feelings.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Sakura, being a medical ninja, is sent to Suna to help with some sort of epidemic. There she meets Gaara. Gaara is intrigued by her skills and determination. As she heals the sick in Suna, Gaara offers his protection. During this time, they share stories about their pasts, like Sakura's relationship with Sasuke and Gaara's own troubled childhood. This sharing brings them closer together and a bond starts to form between them.
One possible plotline could be that during the Chunin Exams, Gaara and Sakura are paired for a special mission within the exam. Gaara, with his unique abilities, and Sakura, with her growing medical ninjutsu skills, have to work together. Maybe they face a powerful enemy that forces Gaara to rely on Sakura's knowledge to heal him during the battle, and in the process, they start to understand each other better.
One possible plotline could be that Gaara and Sakura are on a joint mission in a far - off land. They start off as just comrades but gradually learn to understand each other's past traumas. Gaara shares his experiences of being an outcast in the Sand Village, and Sakura tells him about her insecurities regarding her strength compared to her teammates. As they face various challenges together, they develop a deep bond of friendship that could potentially turn into something more romantic.
In a fanfiction plot, Gaara could be constantly saving Sakura during battles without her fully realizing it's him at first. His crush on her makes him more protective. He might use his sand abilities to shield her from harm without her knowledge. When Sakura finally discovers it's Gaara, she is touched by his selfless actions. This could lead to a growing bond between them as they start to communicate more. Gaara, who is not used to expressing emotions, struggles to convey his love for her, but Sakura begins to understand his unspoken feelings.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto is in a life - threatening battle against a powerful enemy. Gaara arrives just in time, using his sand powers to shield Naruto from a fatal attack. Then they team up, with Gaara's strategic thinking and Naruto's unwavering determination, they gradually turn the tide of the battle.
In a Naruto - raises - Gaara fanfiction, Naruto could help Gaara deal with his inner demon. Gaara has had a tough time controlling Shukaku, his tailed beast. Naruto, who has also had to deal with the power of the Nine - Tails, could offer advice and support. He might teach Gaara some of the meditation techniques he used to keep the Nine - Tails in check. This would lead to Gaara having better control over his powers and becoming a more stable and powerful shinobi. Also, Naruto could help Gaara improve his relationship with the people of Suna. Given Naruto's charm and ability to make friends, he could show Gaara how to win the trust and love of his own villagers.
One possible plotline could be that Gaara and Naruto are in the middle of a battle, and in a moment of sudden understanding and connection, Gaara kisses Naruto. This could be a turning point in their relationship, leading them to work together more closely against a common enemy. Maybe it's a way for Gaara to show his respect and new - found friendship for Naruto in a very unexpected way.
A plot could be that Orochimaru, seeking redemption in a way, starts to train Sakura in some unique and dark arts that he has mastered. Sakura, with her determination to become stronger, accepts this training but struggles with the moral implications. This could lead to an internal conflict within her as she tries to balance her new - found power with her values. Another possibility is that Orochimaru places a curse on Sakura for some reason, and she has to find a way to break it. In her quest to break the curse, she delves deeper into Orochimaru's lair and discovers more about his true motives and plans. Or perhaps Orochimaru kidnaps Sakura to use her as a bargaining chip against Sasuke. But Sakura uses her wits and ninja skills to not only escape but also turn the tables on Orochimaru, showing him that she is not to be underestimated.
Maybe they both end up in a situation where they are helping some orphans. During this time, they develop feelings for each other. Later, Sakura finds out she's pregnant. Gaara, being the Kazekage, has to balance his duties with his new - found family situation. Sakura uses her medical skills to take care of herself and also helps the village during her pregnancy. They face challenges together like any new couple expecting a baby.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto and Gaara run away to avoid a false accusation in their villages. They might journey together, facing various challenges like harsh terrains and lack of supplies. Along the way, they could bond over their shared experiences of being outcasts in the past. Naruto might use his optimism to keep Gaara's spirits up, and Gaara could use his sand powers to protect them from potential threats.
