Their relationships could develop in a more positive way. Through fighting together, they start to understand each other better. Naruto and Sasuke might finally put aside their old rivalries completely. Sakura could gain more respect from both of them as she shows her strength and intelligence in battle.
I recommend "Douluo: Legend of the Gale" to you. This novel is a light novel written by the author, Liangpi Jun, who loves to eat. It is a derivative doujinshi novel. In this novel, Naruto accidentally came to a world called Douluo Continent. In the search for Sasuke and the journey back to Ninja Realm, he and Sasuke experienced various adventures together.

Maybe they embark on an adventure to help a small, oppressed village. They use their combined skills to overthrow the tyrant ruling the village and then stay for a while to help rebuild it. During this time, they learn about different ways of life and make new friends. This adventure would strengthen their bond and also their reputations as great shinobi.
It really depends on the writer's perspective. Some might have Naruto win because of his unwavering belief in friendship and his ability to draw strength from those around him. His large pool of chakra and his various powerful jutsu could give him the upper hand.
πI recommend the following two novels to you:
"Koba's Coin Escape" and "Koba's Happy Naruto."
"Muye's Money Escape" was a funny and dissing novel. When the protagonist was faced with poverty, he raised a very special question. Why wasn't the purpose of becoming a ninja to earn more money? This question triggered a lot of interesting thoughts and fighting scenes. It was very funny.
"Happy Naruto" was a derivative doujinshi novel. The main character transmigrated and became Naruto. He had the character of the game "Dungeon Fighter Online", which allowed him to use various talents and obtain many companions. This novel leaned towards light entertainment. It was very interesting and heartwarming.

One possibility could be a story where they go on a mission together and during the mission, they face many difficulties. Naruto's optimism, Sasuke's strength, and Sakura's medical skills all contribute to their success. As they overcome each obstacle, they grow closer and form a stronger bond. They start to understand each other better and rely on one another more than ever before.
For Naruto, he might become more determined to bring Sasuke back to the right path. The fight in the bathroom could be a turning point where he realizes that he can't just use words but also has to show his strength. Sasuke, on the other hand, could start to question his own motives a bit more. Maybe seeing Naruto's unwavering spirit in such a strange setting makes him think twice about his actions.
One interesting scenario could be that Naruto and Sasuke discover a new power within themselves during the fight that changes the whole dynamic. Maybe Naruto unlocks a new form of Sage Mode that gives him an edge, and Sasuke responds with a new sharingan evolution.
The emotional impact on the readers can be intense. Fans who have followed their journey from the start would feel a great sense of loss. It's like seeing two great forces that were meant to be rivals but became friends, disappear. There would be a lot of sadness, but also a sense of respect for their sacrifice if it was for a noble cause in the fanfic. It might also make the readers think about the themes of friendship and sacrifice more deeply.
