In some fanfiction, the secret relationship develops as a result of a common goal. They both want to change the ninja world in some way. Working towards this goal together, they find themselves relying on each other more and more. They start to communicate on a deeper level, and this leads to romantic feelings. However, they keep it hidden because they know that their relationship could be a distraction to their comrades or a target for their enemies. They have to be careful, so they only show their true relationship when they are completely alone.
Often in fanfiction, the relationship develops as they train together. They learn new skills from each other. Naruto teaches Sasuke about the power of friendship and determination, Sasuke shows Naruto and Sakura some advanced Uchiha techniques. Sakura, with her medical knowledge, helps them both when they get injured during training. This mutual learning and support strengthen their bond.
Well, often it starts rocky. Sasuke may be resistant to the idea of an arranged marriage, so he might be distant at first. But Sakura, being the determined one, tries to break the ice. She might start by cooking for him or taking an interest in his hobbies. As she does these things, Sasuke slowly warms up to her. For instance, if Sasuke likes to read about ninja history, Sakura could bring him new books on the subject.
The relationship often becomes more strained. Sasuke's punishment can make Sakura feel resentful at first. But over time, it can also lead to her becoming more independent as she tries to prove herself to him.
At first, Sasuke might start with small gestures. For instance, he could be more attentive to Sakura's presence, like looking at her more often or listening more closely when she speaks. This could gradually lead to more direct interactions, such as him starting conversations with her instead of the other way around.
Well, usually in such a fanfiction, their relationship might start with Sasuke being a patient. Sakura, as his doctor, would be professional at first. But as time goes on, they might start to share more personal thoughts and feelings during Sasuke's treatment. Maybe Sasuke starts to see Sakura in a new light, not just as a doctor but as someone he can trust and rely on, which gradually deepens their relationship.
Their relationship could develop as Sakura becomes more protective of Sasuke due to the curse. Sasuke, in his vulnerable state, starts to see Sakura in a new light. He realizes how much she truly cares for him.
Their relationship could become stronger. With a son, they have a new bond that ties them together even more. They might communicate more often and share their parenting experiences. They could also rely on each other more in terms of protecting their family.
In the hospital setting, Sasuke might initially be his aloof self. But as Sakura takes care of him or they face challenges together, he could start to open up more. For example, if Sakura is overworked, Sasuke might offer a helping hand in small ways, like getting her coffee. This would show his growing affection for her.
Jealousy can add a lot of drama. If Sasuke is jealous, he might become more possessive. For example, he could stop Sakura from going on certain missions with other male characters. This can cause arguments between them as Sakura values her independence. On the other hand, if Sakura is jealous, she might be more withdrawn. She may not be as affectionate towards Sasuke, which can make him feel confused and frustrated, straining their relationship.
The relationship might become more equal. Since Sakura is stronger, Sasuke can't look down on her as he might have in the original story. They could become more like true partners, respecting each other's abilities.
