In this kind of fanfiction, Sasuke could die from a sneak attack. He might be so focused on his main target during the Wave mission that he doesn't notice another hidden threat. And this hidden enemy could strike him when he least expects it, leading to his death. For example, an assassin could be hired to specifically target Sasuke and use some sort of poison or a deadly jutsu that he can't defend against in time.
Sasuke would probably be very guarded at first. He's not used to dealing with something so innocent and vulnerable. He might be suspicious of the baby's presence and think it's some sort of trap.
For a realistic development, it should start with their existing bond. They have a long history of rivalry and friendship. Slowly, small moments of vulnerability can be added. For example, Naruto showing his insecurities about being Hokage to Sasuke, and Sasuke sharing his past traumas. This sharing can lead to a deeper emotional connection.
Sasuke would be furious. He's always been protective of Naruto in his own way. He would immediately start looking for her, using all his skills and resources. He might even go on a rampage if he thought Naruto was in serious danger.
On the other hand, Sasuke could be very stoic about it on the surface but internally be in turmoil. He might start to analyze his own actions and whether he had missed any signs from Sakura. He could also be the type to immediately start thinking of ways to win Sakura back if he realizes he can't stand the thought of her with someone else.
In the 'naruto is protected by sasuke fanfiction', Sasuke's protection of Naruto could be multi - faceted. Sasuke, being a powerful ninja, would first of all use his physical strength and speed to block attacks aimed at Naruto. Emotionally, his bond with Naruto would make him extremely vigilant. 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.
Sasuke might be initially surprised. He is used to the Sakura from his past, so seeing a different, more mature future Sakura could catch him off guard.
Sasuke would likely be aloof and guarded at first. He might see Batman as just another 'vigilante' like some of the shinobi in his world. Batman, on the other hand, would be cautious and try to figure out Sasuke's motives. Eventually, they could start sharing their combat techniques. Sasuke might show Batman how to use chakra in combat, and Batman could teach Sasuke about the importance of having a strong moral code.
I think young Sasuke would have a very intense reaction. He was so consumed by his hatred for Itachi at that young age. A Sasuke vs Itachi fanfiction would be like a trigger for him. He would be eager to see how the fictional fight is portrayed. If Sasuke in the fanfiction is shown as strong, it might fuel his own ego and make him strive even harder to become powerful. However, if the fanfiction shows Itachi as superior, it could enrage him. He might feel that it undermines his own goal of defeating Itachi and he might even want to find the writer to correct their 'wrong' view.
In some cases, Sasuke could be angry. He might see Naruto's request as a sign of weakness or as Naruto giving up too easily. He could lash out at Naruto, telling him to fight instead of asking for death. However, he would still be deeply troubled by the request and would probably struggle with it for a long time, constantly thinking about whether or not he should consider it.
