How would Sakura's character be developed in an 'Adult Sakura Adopts Naruto' fanfiction?

Sakura's adoption of Naruto would lead to a deep - rooted bond. As Naruto grows, he might inherit some of Sakura's determination. Sakura would encourage Naruto's positive traits and help him control his wilder side. There could be times when they argue, like when Naruto wants to take on dangerous missions too early. But through these experiences, their relationship would become stronger, and they would be like a real mother - son duo in the ninja world.

In such a fanfiction, perhaps Sakura sees Naruto's loneliness after all his friends have started their own families. Feeling responsible, she adopts him. She then helps Naruto to further his ninja career by training with him. They could go on missions together, and Sakura would be like a mother figure guiding Naruto in making important decisions in both his personal and ninja life.

It could start with Naruto saving Sakura in a crucial situation and from then on, he decides she is his to protect. So, he acts in a more possessive way towards her in the story.

Sakura could develop more empathy. By breaking Naruto's mask, she sees a side of him she didn't before. This might make her more understanding and less judgmental. For instance, if Naruto has been hiding his pain, Sakura's realization could soften her towards him.

Sakura might become more empathetic. Seeing Naruto's memories would expose her to his pain and his hopes, so she would be more understanding of his actions and decisions.

Sakura's development could also come from her interactions with other characters in the fanfic. If she meets some of her parents' old comrades, they could share stories about Kakashi and Rin that inspire her. She could then train harder, not just in combat but also in areas like leadership and decision - making, evolving into a more confident and capable ninja.

Sakura can be developed by showing her initial fear and hesitation when she first has to sleep with the villains. As time goes on, she could start to show her strength and resilience, not letting the situation break her. For example, she might start to give the villains some moral lessons during their interactions while in that sleeping situation.

To develop Sakura's character, she could be put in situations where she has to rely on her Sharingan - enhanced skills to save her friends. This would force her to grow and become more independent. For instance, if Naruto and Sasuke are captured and she has to use her unique ability to rescue them. She would learn more about her own strength and leadership capabilities. Also, she could have internal conflicts about whether to use the power for revenge or for the greater good, which would further shape her character.

Sakura could be developed further by showing her struggle with self - doubt more deeply. In the 'Road to Ninja' setting, she might constantly compare herself to the other versions of herself or the other characters. This would force her to confront her insecurities and grow from them.

In some fanfictions where Sakura adopts Naruto, it could be about Sakura seeing Naruto's need for a family. Maybe she decides to take him in after realizing how alone he has been. This can lead to a lot of character development for both of them. Naruto might start to heal from his past traumas, and Sakura could grow into a more nurturing figure.
