Well, in some versions of this fanfiction, it might be that Naruto uses a powerful and forbidden jutsu to defeat an overwhelming foe. This jutsu drains his life force, and Sasuke, who has just realized how much Naruto means to him, catches Naruto as he collapses. It could also be that Naruto is poisoned, and Sasuke tries his best to save him but fails in the end, and Naruto passes away in his arms.
He could also become more vengeful. If Sakura's death was caused by an enemy, Sasuke would stop at nothing to avenge her. His focus would shift solely to seeking revenge, and his already formidable skills would be honed even further in his quest for retribution.
Yes, there might be such fanfics out there. In the Naruto fandom, with a large number of fans creating various types of stories, it's possible that some would write a story where Naruto destroys Sasuke in a way that could be seen as Sasuke - bashing.

In the 'naruto is protected by sasuke fanfiction', Sasuke's protection of Naruto could be multi - faceted.

He might sense Naruto's distress from afar and rush to his aid. In terms of strategy, Sasuke would likely plan their movements carefully when they are in dangerous situations, ensuring Naruto is always in a relatively safe position. His ability to quickly analyze a battle situation and react accordingly would be crucial in protecting Naruto.

In proper fanfics rather than 'lemon' ones (as 'lemon' implies inappropriate content), Naruto is known for his never - give - up attitude. He's the heart of the story, always trying to bring Sasuke back and protect his friends.
