During their journey of running away, they would have a lot of time to talk and understand each other's values. Gaara, who has always been a bit of a loner, would start to appreciate Naruto's company. Naruto would be constantly there to cheer Gaara up when he has his dark moments. Their relationship would become one of mutual support, where they can be completely honest with each other and grow both as individuals and as friends.
At first, their relationship might be a bit guarded. Gaara, being used to isolation, might be hesitant to open up to Naruto. But as they face challenges together, like fighting a common enemy, they would start to respect each other's strength. Naruto's positive attitude would gradually break down Gaara's walls, and they would become friends.
Their relationship would likely deepen with trust. Naruto would be extremely grateful to Gaara for saving him, and this would strengthen their bond. They might start sharing more about their past traumas and how they overcame them.
At first, their relationship might be a bit strained. Gaara is a powerful and reserved leader, while Sarada is a young, eager - to - prove - herself ninja. But as they interact more, perhaps during a joint mission, they could start to see each other's good qualities. Gaara might recognize Sarada's determination, and Sarada could see Gaara's wisdom.
The relationship might develop in a complex way. At first, Fem Gaara may be jealous of Naruto's popularity and the friends he has. However, Naruto, being the empathetic person he is, tries to include her in his circle. This gradually changes Fem Gaara's perception of Naruto, and she starts to open up to him. They could then form a deep bond, sharing their dreams and fears, which in turn strengthens their relationship.
Naruto's exuberant personality would attract both friends and foes along their journey. His friendly nature might get them help from unexpected sources, like a group of traveling merchants who are charmed by his enthusiasm. Neji's intellectual approach would help them solve puzzles and figure out how to get past obstacles. For instance, if they come across a locked gate with a complex mechanism, Neji would be the one to study it and find a way to open it. Gaara's brooding personality would make others wary of them at first. But as they get to know him, they realize he's a valuable part of the group. His sand powers would be a great defense mechanism, especially when they are ambushed by other ninjas.
Their relationship could develop into a deeper friendship. Away from the daily hustle and bustle of the village, they would rely more on each other. Naruto would see Sakura in a new light, not just as a teammate but as a true partner. And Sakura would appreciate Naruto's unwavering loyalty more than ever.
Their relationship might start off rocky. Gaara has been through a lot of pain and isolation, while Naruto was always seeking acceptance. But as they realize they are Jinchuuriki brothers, they could gradually grow closer. Naruto's friendly nature could break through Gaara's cold exterior. They would start to trust each other, sharing their experiences of living with the tailed beasts inside them.
At first, their relationship might be a bit rocky. Gaara has been through a lot of trauma and Naruto, though friendly, might not be fully understood by Gaara immediately. But as time passes, they start to trust each other more. They could share their past experiences, like Naruto talking about his loneliness as a child because of the Nine - Tails, and Gaara sharing his own pain of being ostracized in the Hidden Sand. This sharing would bring them closer.
At first, it would be rocky. Sasuke is often brooding and has his own agenda. Naruto would be the one trying to bridge the gap between them, while Gaara, having known loneliness, would be more open to the idea of having brothers. As time goes on, they'd start to trust each other more. Sasuke might see Naruto and Gaara as true comrades and family, especially when they fight side by side against strong opponents.
At first, they might be wary of each other due to their different upbringings and the power they both hold. But as they face common enemies, they start to trust one another more.
