One interesting plotline could be Naruto being banished and then seeking revenge by training in secret with a powerful hermit. He might learn new jutsus and return to the village to expose the corruption that led to his banishment.
Well, in some fanfictions, Naruto is banished unjustly. His revenge plot could involve allying with former enemies of the village who also have a grudge against the current leadership. They could plan a large - scale attack on the village, but Naruto might have a change of heart at the last moment due to his lingering love for his friends.
In this kind of fanfiction, Naruto's revenge might also be more personal. For example, if a particular individual was responsible for his banishment, he could focus on taking down that person. He might start by gathering evidence of their misdeeds while living in exile, and then use that evidence to ruin their reputation and power within the village.
