Another possibility is that Sage Madara, with his vast knowledge and experience, could outwit Sakura strategically. He might set up traps or situations that limit her movement and actions, like luring her into a place where the terrain restricts her abilities, and then using his own powers to keep her there.
Well, in some fanfictions, Sage Madara might use his powerful chakra to create barriers around Sakura, restraining her physically. This could be a way to stop her from using her medical ninjutsu or combat skills against him.
Well, it could be through his powerful ninja techniques. Maybe he uses his Sharingan to paralyze Sakura, or perhaps he physically restrains her with his great strength. In fanfictions, there are many creative ways for such a scenario to play out.
One reason could be that Sakura poses a threat to his plans. Maybe she has some knowledge or ability that could disrupt what he's trying to achieve, so he restrains her to prevent that.
Perhaps he sees her as a threat. Sakura is a skilled kunoichi, and Madara may want to prevent her from interfering in his plans. So he restrains her to keep her out of the way.
Sakura could develop by becoming more confident in her combat abilities. As she faces Madara, she realizes that she has more strength and potential than she thought. For instance, she might start using her medical ninjutsu in more creative ways during the fight, like using it to enhance her physical attacks or disrupt Madara's chakra flow.
Sakura could be a victim at first, being restrained by Itachi's shadow clone. This situation might put her in a position where she has to rely on her wits and skills to get out of it.
In such fanfiction, Sakura might be depicted as more alluring and perhaps more bold in her interactions with Madara. Madara could be shown as having a certain charm that draws Sakura to him.
Their relationship development in Sakura Madara time travel fanfiction can be quite complex. Initially, they are from two very different worlds. Madara from a time of great ninja wars and Sakura from a more modern (in the Naruto universe) era. But when time travel brings them together, they start to learn from each other. Madara can teach Sakura about ancient ninja techniques and the history of their world. Sakura can introduce Madara to new ways of thinking, like the importance of teamwork in a more developed ninja society. As they continue to travel through time and face various challenges together, this exchange of knowledge and experiences deepens their bond, leading to a relationship that could range from friendship to love, depending on the direction the fanfiction takes.
Their relationship could start with mutual distrust. Madara might see Sakura as a weakling from the new generation, while Sakura would be wary of Madara's power and his past actions. But as they face challenges together, they gradually start to respect each other. For example, if they are in a battle against a powerful enemy, Madara might be impressed by Sakura's determination and her ability to hold her own in combat.
His character might develop a sense of protectiveness. For example, he may start to see Sakura as someone worthy of his protection, which is a new feeling for him as he was previously more focused on his own goals in the Naruto universe. This could make him more empathetic towards others in general.
In many fanfictions, the idea of Sakura being the reincarnation of Madara is used as a plot device. This can lead to some really interesting story developments. For example, it might change how Sakura interacts with other characters like Naruto and Sasuke. Her new 'reincarnation' status could give her access to Madara's powers or knowledge in some way. It also allows the author to play with themes of destiny, power, and self - discovery in a different way compared to the original Naruto story.
