In a different take, Sakura gives up on Sasuke because she sees that he is on a path that will only lead to his destruction. She then devotes herself to trying to stop him from the sidelines. She could work with Naruto and other friends to find a way to bring Sasuke back to the village without using force. This would involve her using her intelligence and her knowledge of Sasuke to come up with a plan that could save him from himself.
One possible storyline could be that Sakura realizes Sasuke is too consumed by his revenge and she decides to focus on herself. She might start training harder to become a better ninja in her own right, perhaps specializing in medical ninjutsu even more. This could lead to her making new friends and allies within the village, and she could end up being a key figure in Konoha's development, without Sasuke in the picture.
Another plot could be that Sakura gives up on Sasuke after he continuously rejects her and she falls in love with someone else in the village. This new relationship could be with a more stable and caring ninja. For example, she might start to notice the kindness of Rock Lee and over time, develop feelings for him. Their relationship could then grow as they train together and support each other in various missions.
In this fanfiction, it could be that Sasuke returns to the village and he and Sakura start to build a life together. Their friends are happy for them, and then Sakura becomes pregnant. The story might explore how the news affects their friends and family, and also how Sasuke and Sakura grow as a couple during this time.
In some fanfictions, Sasuke might be in a situation where he has to choose between his goals and Sakura. His choice could end up hurting her. For instance, he decides to go on a very dangerous mission alone, knowing that Sakura is deeply in love with him and would be worried sick. His disregard for her feelings in this case is a form of emotional hurt. Also, there could be a scenario where Sasuke is forced to fight against Sakura in a misunderstanding, and his superior skills end up causing her serious injuries.
One possible reason could be that Sakura realizes Sasuke is too consumed by his revenge and she can't keep waiting for him to change. She might see that he is constantly putting her in a secondary position and she decides she deserves better. For example, Sasuke has left the village multiple times, leaving Sakura heartbroken each time.
A storyline could involve a time - travel element. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are sent back in time and find themselves in a situation where they have to get married to change the future. They start off as reluctant partners but as they spend more time together in the past, they develop real feelings for each other. They also have to hide their relationship from their past selves and other characters while trying to figure out how to change the future.
A different story could be them traveling the world together. They visit different villages and learn about new cultures and techniques. Along the way, they meet old friends and foes. This journey would strengthen their bond as they rely on each other for support and protection in unfamiliar places.
On a larger scale, it might change the way the story views the concept of unrequited love. Instead of the typical 'waiting for the loved one' trope, it shows that characters can move on. This can be an important message for readers, especially those who can relate to being in a one - sided love situation. It also might shift the focus of the story more towards Sakura's personal growth and her new goals, rather than the Sasuke - centered plot that it might have been before.
Another storyline might be that Lemon is a person. Let's say Lemon is a new character who has some sort of connection to the Uchiha clan. She could be a long - lost relative or someone with a prophecy related to Itachi and Sasuke. And Sakura gets involved as she is part of Team 7. The story would then be about uncovering Lemon's true identity and purpose.
One possible storyline could be that Mulan gives birth during a time of peace in her village. She and her partner (it could be Shang in some versions) are overjoyed. The birth might bring new hope and a new generation to lead in the future. Her family and friends gather around to support her, and she imparts her values of courage and strength to her new - born.
Maybe Naruto gets tired of always chasing after Sasuke. He has his own life and dreams too. He might think that he has sacrificed enough of his time and energy on Sasuke, and it's time to focus on himself and the village. He could start to believe that Sasuke has made his own choices and he can't keep forcing Sasuke to come back.
One possible storyline could be the child's struggle with living up to the legacies of their parents. Sasuke and Sakura are both very powerful ninja, and the child might feel pressured to be just as great. Another could be the child making their own unique mark in the ninja world, perhaps by developing a new jutsu or forging new alliances.
