There's also 'Naruto, Gaara and the Team's Adventure'. This fanfiction delves deep into the characters' emotions. It explores how Naruto and Gaara's pasts affect their teamwork. The author does a great job of showing their growth and development within the team.
Once he realizes that Gaara is serious about the kidnapping, Naruto would start to plan his escape. He would use his ninja skills and his quick thinking. Naruto has a lot of experience in getting out of tough situations. He would look for any weaknesses in Gaara's defenses or in the place where he is being held. And while he's planning his escape, he would still be trying to reason with Gaara, hoping to resolve the situation without having to fight his friend.
Sakura would be heartbroken. She'd likely spend hours upon hours by Naruto's side, trying to jog his memory with stories of their adventures together. She might even get a bit overbearing in her attempts. Sasuke, who has his own complex relationship with Naruto, would be conflicted. He'd see Naruto's forgetfulness as a sign of weakness at first but then realize the importance of their bond. Kakashi, being the experienced leader, would start by observing Naruto carefully to see exactly how much he has forgotten and then start a systematic process of helping him remember.
Sakura might be a bit surprised at first. She has always seen Naruto as a friend, but she would quickly come to support him. She knows how much Naruto values his relationships, and if he has found love with Gaara, she would be happy for him. Kakashi would be very accepting. He has always believed in Naruto's judgment and would see this as another step in Naruto's journey to change the ninja world. Shikamaru would probably be the one to think about all the political implications but in the end, he would also support it as he trusts Naruto.
One reason is the potential for unique story arcs. Since Gaara has his own set of powers and Naruto has his, combining them in a team scenario can lead to all sorts of creative battles and strategies. Also, the fanfic writers can play with the idea of different team members' personalities clashing and then resolving their differences. It's like a mini - drama within the Naruto universe that keeps readers engaged.
At first, Naruto would be extremely hurt. He has always considered Team 7 as his family, so their betrayal would be a huge blow. He might go into a state of shock and disbelief.
The friends from Gaara's village, like Temari and Kankuro, would be very protective. Temari would likely give Naruto the 'big sister' talk, warning him to take good care of Gaara. As for Naruto's friends, they would support him wholeheartedly. Choji might bring over some of his favorite snacks for Gaara, thinking it would be good for the baby. And Hinata would be quietly supportive, maybe knitting some baby clothes in her spare time.
Naruto might be initially confused. He is used to being friendly with everyone, and this sudden possessiveness from Fem Gaara could catch him off - guard. So he may just try to talk to her to understand why she is acting this way.
Sasuke would likely be devastated. Despite their past differences, Naruto was his rival and in a way, his closest friend. He might go into a deep state of regret and isolation. Sakura would be heart - broken. She loved Naruto, and his death would be a huge blow to her. She might become more withdrawn and focus all her energy on her medical ninjutsu. Kakashi would be filled with a sense of failure. He was Naruto's teacher, and he would feel responsible for not being able to protect him.
Sasuke might initially be indifferent on the surface, but deep down he would feel a sense of loss. He has always had a rivalry with Naruto, and Naruto's departure would mean an end to that dynamic. Sakura would be devastated. She has grown to care about Naruto as a friend and teammate, and his leaving would leave a big hole in the team.
