How does 'Sakura Saves Haku and Zabuza Fanfiction' deviate from the original Naruto storyline?

In the original Naruto storyline, Sakura's relationship with Naruto is more of a complex friendship. But in fanfiction, the kiss can be a turning point that changes the nature of their relationship much earlier. It allows for a more romantic - centered plotline compared to the shonen - action focus of the original.

Sakura's character could develop in terms of her understanding of the grey areas in the ninja world. Saving Zabuza and Haku, who were once considered villains, might make her realize that not everything is black and white. She may become more open - minded and less judgmental.

In the original storyline, Naruto has a strong bond with Sakura, which includes his unrequited love for her at first. In the fanfic where he avoids her, it completely changes this dynamic. Instead of their usual interactions, there's a sense of distance.

His confidence could grow significantly. By being able to save two powerful ninjas, Naruto would prove to himself that he is capable of great things. He may start to believe more in his own abilities and take on more challenging tasks without hesitation. For example, he might be more willing to take on stronger opponents in future battles.

One possible plot could be that Sakura, being a skilled medic in the Naruto universe, comes across Zabuza and Haku who are severely injured. She decides to use her medical jutsu to save them. Maybe she's on a solo mission and her sense of morality makes her help them, despite them being former enemies. This could then lead to an interesting alliance or at least a mutual respect between them.

In the original Naruto storyline, Itachi and Sakura don't have such direct and extreme interactions. This fanfiction clearly takes a departure by creating this intense physical encounter. It adds a new layer of relationship that doesn't exist in the source material.

Well, in the original storyline, Naruto and Sakura are comrades and have a fairly positive relationship overall. So in this fanfiction, the deviation is huge as Naruto doesn't forgive her. In the original, Naruto is very forgiving towards Sakura even when she has her moments of being mean or dismissive of him.

The original story focuses on Naruto and Sasuke's relationship as well as Sakura's love for Sasuke as a driving force for her growth. But the fanfic where Sakura hates Sasuke takes a different turn, it might focus on different aspects of Sakura's character, like her independence and self - realization without the influence of her love for Sasuke.

One interesting aspect could be the character development of Sakura. In the original series, she might not have had as much interaction with Haku and Zabuza. In the fanfiction, she could show new skills and a more assertive personality while saving them. For example, she might use her medical ninjutsu in creative ways to heal their wounds.

The character development of Zabuza and Haku would be very different. Usually, they are portrayed as somewhat cold and isolated characters. But with Naruto around, they would be exposed to his warmth and positive attitude. Haku might develop more self - confidence and Zabuza could learn to trust others more. This would not only change their individual storylines but also how they interact with other characters in the long run.
