In the fanfiction, living together would mean they get to know each other on a whole new level. They would start to understand each other's little quirks. For instance, Hinata might discover that Naruto talks in his sleep about ramen sometimes. Naruto would find out how much Hinata loves to read in the evenings. This newfound closeness would make their bond stronger, and they would support each other more in their respective ninja careers.
Their relationship would likely deepen. They would have more private time together, sharing their dreams and fears at night. Naruto would become more protective of Hinata in their shared home.
As they grow up together, Hinata would be constantly by Naruto's side during his journey to become Hokage. She would offer him emotional support and practical advice. Naruto, being the kind - hearted person he is, would gradually fall in love with Hinata's selfless love for him. Their relationship would develop as they face the challenges of the ninja world together, and eventually, they would be in a loving, committed relationship.
Their relationship would likely deepen as they face the responsibilities of being Uzukage together. They'd support each other through tough decisions. For example, Naruto might rely on Hinata's intuition when dealing with village politics. Hinata, in turn, would be more confident with Naruto by her side. They'd also have more time to understand each other on a deeper level, away from the chaos of their earlier adventures.
In the beginning, Naruto might be just focused on his job of protecting Hinata. However, Hinata's determination and courage in the face of danger, which she might show from time to time, would start to earn Naruto's respect. As they face various challenges together, Naruto and Hinata would start to bond. They might have late - night conversations about their dreams and fears. Hinata would learn to be more assertive from Naruto, and Naruto would learn to be more in touch with his emotions from Hinata. This mutual growth would lead to a very special and deep relationship between them.
It would likely develop very organically. They would start as friends who know each other inside out. The relationship might gradually shift from friendship to something more romantic as they grow older. They would have a lot of shared experiences that would strengthen their bond.
In some of these fanfictions, their relationship develops as they gradually remember their past. They start having strange feelings and dreams, which lead them to explore their connection. As they do so, they start to fall in love all over again, just like in their previous lives.
In fanfiction, their relationship often deepens as they face parenting challenges together. They support each other more and become more in tune with each other's feelings.
The parents' relationship could also set an example for Naruto and Hinata. If Kushina and Hinata's mother had a strong, loving relationship, Hinata might be more inspired to be as loving and supportive in her relationship with Naruto. Similarly, Naruto could learn from his father's respect for Hinata's family and carry that forward in his relationship with Hinata.
It could start with a chance encounter. For example, at a festival in Konoha. Hinata is there with her friends and Sasuke is just passing by. Their eyes meet briefly, and there's a spark of something new. Later, they are paired up for a training exercise. Hinata's unique fighting style impresses Sasuke, and he gives her some tips. Hinata is shy but also grateful. Over time, they start to communicate more, sharing their thoughts about the future of the village, and from there, their relationship blossoms.
Their relationship might become stronger. They could rely on each other more as they face the challenges of the past together.
Naruto would become even more affectionate and protective towards Hinata. He'd be constantly by her side, making sure she has everything she needs. Their relationship would deepen as they share the excitement and anticipation of the new baby.
