In the fanfiction, Naruto and Naruko could start off as strangers who are brought together by the mystery of their Uzumaki bloodline. They might be curious about each other's abilities and start to train together. During this process, they would have small arguments because of their different ways of using the bloodline powers. However, these arguments would actually make them understand each other better. As time passes, they become closer and closer, and the relationship develops from acquaintances to friends, and finally, lovers. Their Uzumaki bloodline would be like a thread that ties them together throughout the development of their relationship.
It might develop through shared battles. As Naruto uses his godlike powers in fights, Naruko sees his strength and determination, and she is drawn to him more.
At first, it might be a bit awkward. Naruto, not used to being a parent - like figure, would struggle a bit. But as time passes, they would grow closer. Naruto would become someone Naruko could rely on completely.
Their relationship could develop into a strong partnership. Since they both have godlike powers, they understand each other's struggles and responsibilities better. They might start training together more often, sharing new techniques and strategies. This would lead to a deep respect for each other's abilities and a closer bond.
They can start by simply spending time together. For instance, going on missions side by side. This allows them to get to know each other's fighting styles and personalities better. As they face challenges during these missions, they start to rely on each other more.
The relationship could develop through shared experiences. For instance, they might go on a mission together where they have to rely on each other to survive. Naruto could see the Naruko clone's determination and courage, and she could see his kind heart. This mutual admiration could lead to a deeper emotional bond. Another way is through Naruto teaching the Naruko clone about things she doesn't understand, like the history of the village or certain jutsu. This teacher - student dynamic can slowly transform into a romantic relationship as they get closer.
In the beginning of the fanfiction, Neji and Naruko would likely be awkward around each other due to the arranged marriage situation. Neji might be overly formal and Naruko might be a bit rebellious against the idea. However, as they get involved in village affairs and have to work as a team, they start to understand each other better. Neji would be impressed by Naruko's growth as a ninja and her never - give - up attitude. Naruko would come to appreciate Neji's strategic mind. Their relationship would develop as they share their hopes, fears, and dreams, and they would fall in love in the process of getting to know each other on a deeper level.
It could change the story by making the duo even more powerful. They might be able to take on stronger enemies earlier in the story. For example, they could defeat Orochimaru much more easily with their combined bloodline limits.
In such a fanfiction, possible abilities could include enhanced chakra control, like Naruto's already amazing chakra control but perhaps taken to a new level. Maybe there would be a unique form of the Rasengan that combines Naruko's special traits. Another ability could be some sort of advanced sensory perception that is a blend of both their natural talents.
One possible plot could be that Naruto and Naruko (assuming it's an alternate universe where there's a female version of Naruto) discover a new and powerful bloodline ability within their Uzumaki lineage. They might have to train together to master it and then use it to protect the village from a new threat. Maybe it's a bloodline ability that allows them to manipulate time on a small scale, like slowing down an enemy's attack.
By having them share common goals. For instance, if they both aim to protect the village from a new threat. Working towards the same objective would make them rely on each other, leading to a closer relationship.
