The theme of friendship and mentorship also pops up a lot. Given their different levels of experience (Naruto being very experienced by the end of his series and Korra being younger and still learning), fanfics may explore how Naruto can be a mentor to Korra, or how they can form a strong friendship based on mutual respect and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses.
One common theme is the combination of different elemental powers. Since Naruto has his own set of abilities related to chakra and Korra is an Avatar with control over four elements, fanfics often explore how these powers can work together or create new forms of combat.
Another theme is the cultural exchange. Naruto comes from a ninja - based culture, while Korra is from a world with a more Asian - inspired Avatar - centric culture. Fanfics might show how they introduce their respective cultures to each other and how their friends and allies react to it. For example, Naruto might introduce his friends to the concept of the Avatar and Korra could show Naruto's gang some unique traditions from her world.
