Often, Naruto's relationships with other characters are explored further. He might have deeper conversations with Sasuke, trying to convince him to come back to the village for good.

Well, there's a fanfic called 'Naruto: Akatsuki's Downfall'. It shows Naruto training intensively after learning about the Akatsuki's threat. He then uses his Sage Mode in really creative ways to defeat the likes of Deidara and Sasori. It also has some great character development for Naruto as he has to face some tough moral dilemmas during the battles.
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.
In proper fanfics rather than 'lemon' ones (as 'lemon' implies inappropriate content), Naruto is known for his never - give - up attitude. He's the heart of the story, always trying to bring Sasuke back and protect his friends. Sasuke is a complex character, with his family's past haunting him, which makes him seek power and revenge at times. Sakura, she starts as a girl with a crush but evolves into a capable ninja. These characteristics are often the foundation for fanfic authors to create interesting stories that don't involve improper content.
It might be for Naruto's own good. Sasuke may believe that Naruto is on a dangerous path that will lead to his downfall. So he captures him to keep him from making bad decisions, like sacrificing himself for the village or something similar. He wants to save Naruto from himself in a sense.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might reject Sasuke because of Sasuke's continuous pursuit of power in a way that endangers others. Naruto, who values friendship and the safety of the village, could see this as a betrayal of their shared values.
Naruto might protect Sasuke by using his physical strength. He's got those powerful jutsus like the Rasengan. If any enemy comes near Sasuke, Naruto can just blast them away with his attacks.
Another development could be that Naruto starts to understand the world outside the Hidden Leaf better. His encounter with Pain, who had his own ideology about peace, makes Naruto question his own views. So, he might embark on journeys to other villages to learn more about different cultures and ways of achieving peace, which in turn changes his perspective on many things.
In this kind of fanfiction, Naruto might be welcomed as a hero. The village could start to rebuild with his leadership. People would look at him with newfound respect and admiration.
