Often, in Sakura - loses - her - memory fanfiction, she might mistake her enemies for friends or vice versa due to the memory loss. This can lead to some really interesting situations. For example, if there was an antagonist who was pretending to be a friend, she might unknowingly help them in their evil plans at first. Then, as the story progresses, she slowly starts to piece things together.
A typical plot could also involve Sakura having flashes of her old memories. These flashes are usually triggered by something familiar, like a certain smell or a song. As she has more and more of these flashes, she begins to question the people around her and tries to find out the truth about her past. This can lead to a journey of self - discovery even though she has lost her memory.
Her friends would be extremely worried and would do everything they can to support her. They might feel guilty if they think they could have prevented her memory loss. Her family, if there are any in the story, would be heartbroken and try to take care of her like she was a child again.
Well, in this kind of fanfiction, it might be that Sakura loses Naruto because of a misunderstanding. Maybe some false rumors spread about her, and Naruto distances himself from her. Then Sakura has to find a way to clear her name and win back Naruto's trust. Or perhaps Naruto is influenced by some dark force that makes him turn away from Sakura, and she has to fight against this force to get him back.
A possible plot is that Draco loses his memory and finds himself in an entirely different environment. Maybe he's found by a group of outcasts or muggles who have no idea about the wizarding world. As he tries to piece together his past, he discovers new things about himself and the world around him that he had never considered before. He could also develop new relationships outside of the pure - blood wizarding society he was used to, which would change his perspective once his memory returns.
Well, it could lead to all sorts of interesting plot twists. Maybe she has to rediscover her relationships and her place in the world.
Another plot could involve Sakura being kidnapped by an enemy who wants to use her for her special abilities. This could lead to a story of her trying to escape on her own while also dealing with the kidnapper's demands and threats.
Another plot could involve a love - related betrayal. Suppose Sakura is in love with someone who is an enemy of her village in secret. To protect this person, she betrays her village's secrets. It could create a lot of drama as her friends discover her actions.
It could lead to all sorts of complications. Maybe she'd have trouble recognizing her friends or remembering important events that shape the story.

It could be that she loses her license due to a mistake during a mission. Say she fails to protect an important artifact or person. As a result, she's stripped of her license.

She'll need to show that she's now more reliable and capable to be a ninja again.
One common plot could be Sasuke visiting Sakura in the hospital after she got injured during a mission. He might initially struggle to show his concern but gradually reveals his true feelings. Another plot could involve Sakura's self - discovery while in the hospital. Maybe she reflects on her life, her relationship with Sasuke, and her growth as a ninja. It could also be about the other characters coming to visit her and the interactions that unfold, like Naruto bringing some ramen to cheer her up.
