I've heard of 'Engaged to Female Itachi: Naruto's Journey'. This fanfic focuses a lot on Naruto's growth as a person within the relationship. He has to come to terms with his feelings for a version of Itachi that is female, and also deal with the reactions of his friends like Sasuke, who has his own complex relationship with the real Itachi.
Definitely. A lot of these fanfictions play with the idea of how the ninja world would react to such an engagement. Naruto is seen as a hero in the series, and Itachi has a very complex reputation. So when they are engaged in fanfiction, it can lead to all sorts of interesting plotlines, like political unrest, or the formation of new alliances within the ninja villages.
One popular fanfiction with this plot might be 'The Uchiha Engagement' on FanFiction.net. It delves into how Sakura and Itachi's relationship progresses from the initial shock of the engagement to gradually understanding and falling in love with each other. It has great character development and some interesting twists on the Naruto universe lore.
A good fanfiction might explore how Female Naruto, with her goal of being recognized in the ANBU, catches Itachi's attention. Itachi, being a highly skilled and respected ANBU member, could act as a mentor to her in some aspects. He might teach her advanced combat techniques or how to better analyze the enemy. Their relationship could be filled with tension at first, as Naruto tries to prove herself to him, but later turns into a deep and meaningful connection.
There's a fanfiction called 'Itachi's Unseen Path'. In this story, Itachi has some interactions with Naruto that are really interesting. It delves into the idea of Itachi's true intentions and how Naruto might come to understand him better. It also has a unique plot that sets it apart from other fanfictions.
One great Naruto and Itachi fanfiction is 'The Bond Beyond Clans'. It delves into a scenario where Naruto discovers a hidden side of Itachi's past that was not known before. It shows how their relationship could have developed in a different way, with Naruto having a deeper understanding of Itachi's sacrifices.
One common theme is the exploration of identity. Since Itachi has a very distinct identity in the original series, making her female and having her engaged to Naruto forces a re - evaluation of both their identities and how they fit together. Another theme is the idea of breaking norms. In the Naruto universe, relationships usually follow certain patterns, and this pairing goes against the expected norms.
One great fem Naruto and Itachi fanfiction is 'The Hidden Bond'. In this story, fem Naruto has a unique relationship with Itachi. It delves into how their paths cross in a more complex Shinobi world. The character development is really well - done, showing fem Naruto's growth and her connection with Itachi.
The theme of redemption is also quite common. Itachi has done a lot of bad things in the original story, and in these fanfictions, his relationship with Naruto can be a way of finding redemption. Naruto, on the other hand, is often portrayed as the one who can bring out the good in Itachi. Another common theme is the exploration of love that transcends boundaries, not just in terms of their opposing positions in the ninja world, but also in terms of their personalities and past experiences.
There's 'The Elder Naruto'. Here, Naruto's age gives him an edge in understanding the political situation in the ninja world earlier. When dealing with Itachi, who is still involved in his complex web of secrets, Naruto can approach the situation with a more mature perspective. He can start to unravel the truth about Itachi's actions and motives much quicker than in the original storyline.
I really like 'Naruto's Uchiha Ally: Itachi'. In this one, Itachi, being Naruto's best friend, helps Naruto understand the Uchiha clan better. It also shows how they work together to face common enemies. The fanfic is good at building their friendship through various challenges and how they support each other through tough times.
