One idea could be a story where Naruto, Sasuke and Neji are sent on a joint mission to a far - off land. They face many challenges along the way and have to learn to work together better. Neji's Byakugan could help in scouting, Sasuke's powerful jutsu for combat, and Naruto's never - give - up attitude could keep their spirits high.
At first, Sasuke's focus on revenge might make it difficult for him to fully engage with Sakura and Neji. However, as Sakura continues to show her growth in medical ninjutsu and combat, and Neji showcases his mastery of the Byakugan and combat skills, Sasuke might start to open up. Sakura could act as a mediator between the two sometimes. Neji might initially be suspicious of Sasuke's motives but as they face challenges together, he could grow to trust him. And for Sakura, she could develop a deeper bond with both as they all support each other in different ways.
A great plot twist could be that Neji, who was thought to be a loyal Leaf Village ninja, is actually a spy for an enemy village. This would completely change the dynamics between him, Naruto and Sasuke. They would have to figure out how to deal with this betrayal while also dealing with other threats to the village.
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.
A possible plot could be that Sakura discovers a new medical ninjutsu that has some unexpected side effects on Neji and Sasuke's chakra. This causes them to have to work together closely to figure out how to reverse the effects. Or perhaps there is a prophecy that only Sakura, Neji and Sasuke together can fulfill, which involves facing a powerful and ancient evil that has been awakened.
They would probably be very proud. Despite their differences, both Hinata and Neji are highly skilled members of the Hyuuga clan. For the clan, watching them fight in the fanfiction would be like seeing the best of their combat techniques and kekkei genkai on display. They might also be analyzing their moves to see how they can further improve the clan's fighting style.
He might feel anger. Since he was so set on revenge against Itachi, any portrayal that didn't match his view of himself as the victor could make him angry.
Well, the Hyuuga clan has certain expectations and standards. Their presence during the Hinata vs Neji fight in the fanfiction would make both fighters more conscious of these. Hinata, who has always been in Neji's shadow in the eyes of some in the clan, would be trying extra hard to show that she can be a great Hyuuga. Neji, who has always been seen as a strong representative of the clan's old ways, would be fighting not just to win against Hinata but also to maintain his status among the clan. Their fight is thus shaped by the clan's overarching influence.
Expect their friendship/rivalry to be at the center. The fight is not just about who is stronger physically. It's about their bond. In fanfiction, the writers often play with the idea of whether they can still be friends after such an intense battle. It's a very emotional aspect.
First, make sure you're familiar with the Naruto and Sasuke relationship in the original manga or anime. This will help you better understand and appreciate the fanfiction. Second, don't be afraid to try different genres within the Naruto vs Sasuke fanfiction. It could be action - packed, angsty, or even have a touch of romance. Third, pay attention to the writing style. A clear and engaging writing style can make a huge difference in your reading experience.
