what if naruto and sakura went back in time

Another twist might be Naruto going back to the time when the Nine - Tails attacked Konoha. He could potentially find a way to stop the attack or at least lessen the destruction. Maybe he could even change how the village views the Nine - Tails and those who are jinchuriki. For example, instead of fearing and ostracizing them, they could start to understand and accept them earlier.

Well, one thing that could happen is that Naruto, with his knowledge of future events, could easily ace the written part of the Chunin Exams. He might also be able to prevent some of the chaos that Orochimaru caused during the exams. For example, he could warn the proctors about Orochimaru's infiltration in advance.

Well, Naruto would be more confident. Since he has the knowledge of the future, he knows what mistakes to avoid and how to handle situations better. For instance, he won't make the same naive mistakes when dealing with his enemies or friends.

Perhaps there was some sort of dark influence at play. In the world of Naruto, there are often dark forces and genjutsu (illusion techniques). It's possible that Naruto was under the influence of a genjutsu that made him see Sakura as a threat, so he punched her in self - defense without realizing it was an illusion.

One possibility could be Luffy changing key events to prevent the losses of his dear friends. This would add a lot of drama and emotional depth to the story.

It could lead to all sorts of changes. Maybe he could prevent some tragedies or forge different alliances.

On Naruto's side, he would probably feel guilty after realizing what he had done. This guilt could make him try to make amends, but Sakura's initial reaction of anger and hurt would still be a big obstacle in their relationship. Their interactions would be filled with tension and awkwardness.

A great fanfiction in this category is the one where Sakura discovers a hidden prophecy about Naruto's disappearance. She then devotes herself to understanding the prophecy and using it to her advantage to get Naruto back. This fanfiction delves deep into the Naruto universe's lore and Sakura's character development. It also has some really interesting plot twists as Sakura uncovers secrets about the village and Naruto's true nature while on her mission to bring him back.

Another theme is the evolution of their relationship. When Naruto hits back, it forces both of them to re - evaluate how they interact. It can lead to a more equal and respectful friendship. For instance, they start to communicate better and understand each other's feelings more deeply.

It could become more strained at first. Sakura would be hurt, both physically and emotionally, and she might hold a grudge against Naruto. However, if Naruto had a good reason for punching her, like protecting her from a greater danger she didn't see, she might eventually come to understand and their relationship could become stronger in the long run.
