In the fanfiction, their relationship development could be complex. Itachi, being the reserved and secretive type, doesn't open up easily.

At first, Naruto might be a bit hesitant to work with Itachi because of his reputation. But Itachi's calm and calculated approach to their missions slowly wins Naruto over. They start to share their stories, with Itachi telling Naruto about his past and the Uchiha clan. This sharing of personal experiences deepens their bond, and they become more than just comrades in arms. They start to see each other as friends who can rely on one another in difficult situations.
At first, it's likely to be very awkward. Naruto is a very open and energetic person, while Itachi is more reserved. But as they are forced to spend time together because of the arranged marriage, they start to find common ground. For instance, they both care deeply about protecting the village in their own ways.
It could also be that Naruto has been influenced by Itachi's self - sacrifice. He saw how Itachi sacrificed everything for the greater good. So, in the fanfiction, Naruto might secretly work for Itachi as a way of carrying on his legacy. He may be helping Itachi from the shadows to achieve goals that Itachi was unable to complete during his lifetime.
Itachi might initially be distant, but as he sees the potential in baby Naruto, he could start to leave behind teachings in the form of symbols or small jutsu demonstrations that only Naruto can find or understand.

They might start as teacher - student, but eventually become like family, with Naruto looking up to Itachi as a mentor and a friend.
At first, they might be cautious around each other. Naruto is used to the serious and stoic Itachi he knew, and now this female version is different. But as they face challenges together, like fighting against powerful enemies, they start to trust each other more. Their relationship could develop into a deep friendship where they rely on each other's strengths.
Their relationship could start with curiosity. Naruto might be intrigued by Female Itachi's calm and mysterious demeanor. Itachi, on the other hand, could see Naruto's determination and be drawn to it. As time passes, they start to trust each other more, sharing their dreams and fears.
Their relationship would likely start with mutual respect. Naruto already respected Itachi after learning of his sacrifice. Once they join in the fanfiction, they would gradually become friends. They'd rely on each other in battles, and Itachi might start to see Naruto as a younger brother figure, much like Sasuke. Naruto, on the other hand, would look up to Itachi's skills and wisdom.
Itachi would be very strict in Naruto's training, but also very caring. Naruto would look up to Itachi and try to learn as much as he can from him. As Naruto grows, he might start to have his own ideas which could sometimes clash with Itachi's. But through communication and understanding, their relationship would become deeper. Itachi would share his past experiences with Naruto, which would make Naruto understand the complexity of the ninja world better, and in return, Naruto's innocent and determined nature would slowly change Itachi, making him more hopeful about the future of the ninja world.
Well, their relationship might develop gradually. At first, they could be in a state of mutual misunderstanding. But as time goes on, through shared experiences like facing common enemies or protecting the village together, they start to see each other's true selves. Fem Naruto's tenacity and positive attitude could slowly break through Itachi's cold exterior, and they begin to form a deep emotional bond.
One possible plot could be that they are secretly working together to stop a new threat in the ninja world that no one else is aware of. Itachi's intelligence and Naruto's determination would make a great team. They might be gathering information in the shadows, using Itachi's skills in espionage and Naruto's ability to make connections with different ninja clans.
