In a time - travel fanfiction, they could go back to their own childhoods. Naruto could give his younger self some advice on how to deal with loneliness. Sasuke might be able to prevent his family's massacre. Sakura could start training earlier and become even stronger, and Hinata could overcome her shyness more quickly and become a more confident ninja.
Well, 'Time Warp: Team 7's Second Chance' is another great one. Sasuke and Sakura get thrown back in time and they struggle to adapt at first. But then they start using their future experiences to make things better. There are some intense battles and some really cool interactions between the characters that make it a must - read for any Naruto fanfiction lover.
One common theme is redemption. For example, Sasuke might go back in time and try to fix the wrongs he did in the original timeline. Another theme is love. Hinata might use the time travel to get closer to Naruto earlier or in a different way.
If they time - travel, Naruto and Sasuke's relationship could become even stronger. They might have a chance to bond over their shared knowledge of the future. Sakura could become closer to both of them as they work together in the past. Hinata, who has always admired Naruto, might find new ways to support him and also become better friends with Sakura.
A good fanfiction in this context should stay true to the original personalities of the characters. Sasuke should still be brooding but show growth, Sakura should be strong - willed, Naruto his optimistic self, and Hinata her shy yet determined character. The relationships between them should be well - developed too. If it's a romantic story between Sasuke and Sakura or Naruto and Hinata, it should feel natural and not forced. Also, the setting and the new scenarios introduced should be believable within the Naruto universe.
There could be a fanfiction where Naruto, Sakura and Hinata are all in a different time period, like the future. Naruto is a famous hero, Sakura is a renowned doctor and Hinata is a diplomat. They meet again after years apart. Old feelings resurface, and new feelings develop. Naruto is torn between his past love for Sakura and his growing attraction to Hinata. Sakura and Hinata also have to deal with their own emotions and how they fit into Naruto's life.
One interesting plot could be that they travel back to their childhood days and try to prevent some of the tragedies that happened later. For example, Sasuke might try to stop the Uchiha clan massacre from the start. Another plot could be that they are sent to a time when the ninja world was first being formed and they have to use their modern - day skills to survive and shape the new world.
One great Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura time travel fanfiction is 'Time - Twisted Bonds'. In this story, they are sent back to their childhood days with their present - day knowledge. It's really interesting to see how they interact with their younger selves and try to change things for the better. Another good one is 'Journey Through Time' where they travel to different points in the Naruto timeline and face challenges that were not part of the original story.
One interesting plot could be Sakura traveling back in time and using her modern medical knowledge to save characters who previously died in the original Naruto story. For example, she might be able to prevent the death of Minato, which could have a huge impact on the entire Naruto world. Another plot could be Sakura trying to change Naruto's childhood by being there for him earlier and preventing some of the bullying he endured. This could lead to a different Naruto, perhaps more confident from the start.
One interesting plot could be Naruto and Hinata traveling back to the time when the Uchiha clan was still intact. They could try to prevent the massacre. Maybe Naruto, with his future knowledge and Hinata's byakugan skills, would work together to change the fate of the Uchiha, which would have a huge impact on the future of the ninja world.
One great fanfiction is 'The Bonds of Team 7'. It beautifully portrays Sasuke and Sakura's relationship development, with Sasuke slowly opening up to Sakura. For Naruto and Hinata, 'The Family We Build' is wonderful. It shows how they create a loving family together. Another good one for Sasuke and Sakura is 'Sakura's Unwavering Love' which focuses on Sakura's continuous love for Sasuke.
