In the fanfiction where Sasuke seduces Sakura to escape, what could be the possible motives behind Sasuke's actions?

One possible motive could be that Sakura is brainwashed. Maybe an enemy uses some kind of mind - control jutsu on her and she becomes a puppet to kill Sasuke. Another could be extreme jealousy. If she felt that Sasuke was slipping away from her in some way, in a very dark and twisted version of the story, it could lead to her killing him.

One possible motive could be that Sasuke has been consumed by his thirst for power. In the Naruto universe, Sasuke has often been shown to be willing to sacrifice a lot for power. In this fanfiction set in the Wave arc, perhaps he sees Sakura as an obstacle to his pursuit of power, either because she tries to stop him from following a dark path or he believes she will hold him back in some way.

One possible motive could be to use Sakura as bait. Maybe Sasuke is trying to lure Naruto to a certain location. He knows Naruto cares deeply about Sakura, so he figures Naruto will come after her.

One possible motive could be that Sasuke is being controlled by some dark force. Maybe an enemy has a hold over him and is using him to kidnap Sakura as a way to get to Naruto or the Hidden Leaf Village. Another reason might be a misunderstanding on Sasuke's part. He could think that Sakura has some information that is crucial to his personal vendetta and decides to take her by force to get that information.

One possible reason could be that Sasuke was under some kind of mind - control or dark influence at that moment. Maybe he was influenced by an enemy's jutsu that made him lose his sense of self and turn on Sakura.

A possible motive could be a creative exploration of the 'what - if' scenarios. Maybe the writer wants to see how the story would unfold if Sasuke completely lost his way. Another motive could be to create a sense of high - stakes drama. Since Sakura is an important character, her death at Sasuke's hands would be a huge shock.

In such a fanfic, Sasuke may begin by protecting Sakura in a very showy way. For example, during a small skirmish in the village, he jumps in front of her to block an attack in a really dramatic fashion. Then, he starts to be more physically close to her than he used to be, like standing really close when they talk or gently brushing his hand against hers. He would also open up to her about his inner thoughts and emotions that he has kept hidden for so long, which would draw Sakura closer to him as he seduces her.

She could try to appeal to Sasuke's emotions. If she can remind him of their past, of the times they fought together and cared for each other, it might make him release her. Sakura could talk about their shared experiences and how they are on the same side deep down, hoping to break through whatever is making Sasuke hold her captive.

One possible motive could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Naruto was tricked into believing that Sasuke's sister was an immediate threat to the village. Another could be that she was somehow involved in a dark plot against Naruto's friends, and Naruto felt he had no other choice to protect them.

Perhaps in the fanfic, Sasuke was being pushed to his limits. He was so intent on protecting the village from a powerful threat that he didn't realize Sakura was in a dangerous position. His Sharingan might have malfunctioned in some way, causing him to misinterpret Sakura's movements as hostile. Or, there could be a situation where an enemy was using Sakura as a shield, and Sasuke's attempt to strike the enemy ended up harming Sakura instead, all in a split - second decision.
