Hinata is also a likely candidate. Given her long - standing feelings for Naruto in the original story, a forced marriage scenario could accelerate their relationship development. It might be interesting to see how Naruto copes with suddenly being married to Hinata in a forced situation.
Sakura could be a potential partner. Since they are friends from the original series, a forced marriage situation between them would bring a whole new dynamic. There would be a lot of room for exploring their relationship beyond just friendship.
There could be an original character created just for the fanfiction. This new character could be from a far - off land with unique abilities and a strong personality. A forced marriage between Naruto and this new character would open up a world of new story possibilities as Naruto gets to know this unknown person.
Well, one potential partner could be Omoi. I know he's male, but in some fanfictions, gender - bending or same - sex relationships are explored. Omoi's unique personality, with his over - thinking and yet loyal nature, could create an interesting relationship with Naruto. However, if we stick to the more traditional female partners, Yugito Nii could also be a great choice. She was a jinchuriki, just like Naruto, and they could share a special bond based on that shared experience.
Hinata is also a likely candidate. Given her long - standing admiration for Naruto, an arranged marriage between them could develop into a really sweet and loving relationship, with Hinata's gentle nature complementing Naruto's more brash side.
It could be someone from a rival village. Maybe as part of a peace treaty, Naruto is forced to marry a kunoichi from a village that was once at war with Konoha. This would create a lot of tension and interesting storylines as Naruto has to deal with the cultural differences and the past hostilities between the two villages.
Hinata is a very likely candidate. She has always had strong feelings for Naruto and in a multi - marriage scenario, she could be one of the first to be considered. Sakura could also be a possibility. Despite her initial feelings for Sasuke, in fanfiction, the story could be rewritten so that she realizes her true feelings for Naruto and becomes one of his wives.
It could be a character from another important ninja clan, like Hinata perhaps. Since Hinata has always had feelings for Naruto and her clan is also a significant part of the village, Minato might see it as a good match.
Sakura would be an obvious choice. She has a long - standing relationship with Naruto in the original series. Hinata is also a likely candidate, given her feelings for Naruto. Then there are other strong female characters like Temari. She's tough and could add an interesting dynamic to the harem.
One major difference is their personalities. Hinata is shy and introverted, while Sakura is more outspoken and confident. Hinata's shyness means she would be more submissive in a relationship, while Sakura would be more likely to take charge. Another difference is their relationship history with Naruto. Hinata has had a long - standing crush on Naruto, while Sakura's feelings for Naruto were more complex and took a while to develop into something deeper. In fanfiction, these differences can create very different storylines depending on who is paired with Naruto.
Another possibility is Sakura. Although she has feelings for Sasuke in the original, in this fanfiction, the story could be rewritten so that she realizes her true connection with Naruto and they end up getting married at 12. Their dynamic would be quite different from the original, with Naruto having to prove himself in a new way to Sakura.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Naruto might initially resist the marriage. He could be in love with someone else, like Hinata perhaps. But due to some external factors, like a political deal or some strange village tradition, he's pushed into marrying Sakura. This could lead to a lot of tension between them at first, as Sakura might also be confused about her feelings, especially if she still has some lingering feelings for Sasuke.
One possible scenario is that Naruto, being forced to marry in the fanfiction, would initially be in a state of shock and disbelief. But then, his kind heart might make him consider the situation from the other person's perspective. He could end up trying to make the best of it, while still holding onto his ninja way. He might use this new situation to bring about some positive change, like uniting two warring clans through the marriage.
