How does the relationship develop between Sasuke and Sakura in arranged marriage fanfiction?

The relationship could start with mutual respect. Since they know each other from before, they have a basic understanding. Then, small acts of kindness from Sakura towards Sasuke, like cooking his favorite food or patching up his wounds, could start to break down Sasuke's walls. Eventually, they might share a moment of vulnerability, like Sasuke opening up about his past traumas, which would bring them closer.

At first, they might be cold and distant. Sasuke is often a reserved character, and Naruto, being female in this scenario, may be too proud to show her feelings. But as they spend more time together, they start to see each other's good sides. Small acts of kindness, like Sasuke saving Naruto from a minor danger or Naruto cooking for Sasuke, can start to break the ice.

Well, it often starts rocky. They might be cold to each other at first. But then, little things start to change. Maybe Edward saves Bella from some danger, or Bella shows kindness to Edward when he's in a difficult situation. These small moments build up and they start to see each other in a different light.

In some fanfiction, the secret relationship develops as a result of a common goal. They both want to change the ninja world in some way. Working towards this goal together, they find themselves relying on each other more and more. They start to communicate on a deeper level, and this leads to romantic feelings. However, they keep it hidden because they know that their relationship could be a distraction to their comrades or a target for their enemies. They have to be careful, so they only show their true relationship when they are completely alone.

Often in fanfiction, the relationship develops as they train together. They learn new skills from each other. Naruto teaches Sasuke about the power of friendship and determination, Sasuke shows Naruto and Sakura some advanced Uchiha techniques. Sakura, with her medical knowledge, helps them both when they get injured during training. This mutual learning and support strengthen their bond.

Sasuke's jealousy can initially create turmoil. He may act out in ways that Sakura doesn't understand. This could cause friction between them. However, as they communicate more about his jealousy, it could lead to a deeper understanding. They might start to open up about their true feelings for each other. In the long run, this jealousy could be the catalyst that breaks down the barriers between them in the context of the arranged marriage.

Sakura could also handle it with a sense of pride. She is a strong character in her own right. So, instead of feeling like she is being forced into something, she takes charge of the situation. She makes it clear to Sasuke that she expects respect in this relationship. And as she continues to grow as a ninja and a person, Sasuke can't help but be drawn to her, changing the dynamic of their arranged marriage for the better.

The relationship can also be developed through their interactions with other characters. For instance, if they have a child, how they both interact with the child and how their parenting styles differ and blend. Also, how they interact with their friends like Naruto and Hinata. Maybe they have double dates or group outings. All these interactions can show different aspects of their relationship and how it grows and evolves over time.

It would develop slowly. Naruto would be kind and patient, which would gradually make Sakura open up to him. Maybe they start with small conversations about their day, and then it evolves into deeper discussions about their dreams and fears.

In such a fanfiction, their relationship could develop in a rather complex way. Gaara, due to his past traumas, would be hesitant to open up completely. Sakura, with her empathetic nature, would try to understand him. They would start with small conversations about their villages and their dreams. As they share more, they realize that they are both lonely in their own ways. Their relationship would then progress as they support each other through difficult times, like when Gaara has to deal with political unrest in the Sand Village and Sakura has to face her own insecurities within the Leaf Village.
