In the long run, they could become closer comrades. They both care about the village and their friends. With Naruto no longer focused on a romantic relationship with Sakura, they can team up better in battles and support each other in their ninja duties. Their relationship could evolve into a more mutual and equal partnership based on respect and shared goals.
One possible reason could be that Naruto finally realizes Sakura's true feelings for Sasuke are unwavering. He might come to understand that his constant pursuit is fruitless and decides to respect her feelings and stop asking her out.
They become more united as they face the challenges of parenting together. Their relationship deepens as they share the joys and sorrows of raising a child.
It often changes drastically. Sakura may initially feel hurt and angry. She might start to question all her previous beliefs about Naruto. For example, if Naruto betrays her trust in a battle situation by seemingly siding with the enemy, Sakura's view of him as a reliable friend and teammate would be shattered.
The relationship could take a turn for the worse. Naruto might feel betrayed or unappreciated by Sakura's actions. He could start to view her more negatively, and Sakura might be left to regret her behavior. This could lead to a long - term change in how they interact with each other, with less trust and more distance between them.
Well, it makes the triangle less of a love triangle. With Naruto out of the picture in terms of caring for Sakura, it becomes more about Sakura and Sasuke's relationship without Naruto's interference. Sasuke may not have to deal with Naruto's rivalry in terms of Sakura's affection anymore.
The relationship could take an interesting turn. Naruto, having hypnotized Sakura, might start to understand her better on a subconscious level. Maybe he discovers her hidden fears or desires through the hypnosis. Sakura, on the other hand, might develop a sense of vulnerability towards Naruto that she didn't have before. This could lead to a deeper emotional connection between them once the hypnosis is resolved, as they've shared an unusual experience that forces them to re - evaluate their feelings for each other.
In the fanfiction, their relationship may grow in a more romantic way. Away from the distractions of the village, they are forced to confront their feelings for each other. Maybe they share more intimate moments as they face hardships together, and Naruto's long - held feelings for Sakura might finally be reciprocated.
On Naruto's side, he would probably feel guilty after realizing what he had done. This guilt could make him try to make amends, but Sakura's initial reaction of anger and hurt would still be a big obstacle in their relationship. Their interactions would be filled with tension and awkwardness.
Sakura might be initially confused. She could be thinking about what she did wrong to make Naruto stop talking to her. Since they have been friends for a long time, this sudden change would be very puzzling for her.
Well, in the original series, Naruto has a crush on Sakura. But in this fanfiction, if he despises her, it completely flips their dynamic. They might not have those friendly interactions anymore and instead be more distant or even hostile towards each other.
