It could be a dark entity that wants to use Palkia's power for evil. Maybe an ancient evil spirit that has been sealed away for a long time but now wants to break free and use Palkia as a key to unlock ultimate power. Naruto and Palkia would have to team up to stop it.
Another possibility is a powerful being from Palkia's own world who has turned against Palkia. This being might see Naruto as an interference in their plan to overthrow Palkia and take over their world. So, Naruto not only has to protect Palkia but also figure out a way to defeat this powerful internal enemy within Palkia's world.
