Well, 'Naruto: The Cracked Mirror of Reality' is a fanfiction that fits this. In this story, the author takes the more out - there concepts in Naruto, like some of the zanier jutsu, and gives them a serious spin. It shows how these seemingly ridiculous elements could actually be crucial in a high - stakes scenario. Also, 'The Serious Side of Naruto's Pranks' is a fun one. It starts from Naruto's pranks but then turns it into a serious plot about how his pranks were actually a form of training or a way to outwit his enemies.
These fanfictions can add new perspectives by re - imagining the relationships between characters. In a normal Naruto story, some relationships are straightforward. But in a 'crack treated seriously' fanfiction, for example, the relationship between Naruto and the toads could be explored in a more complex and serious way. Maybe the toads have a hidden agenda that is both comical and serious at the same time. It could also look at how the different ninja clans interact in new and unexpected ways. For example, if the Nara clan's laziness was actually a strategic choice in a more elaborate plot, it would give a whole new view of the Naruto universe.
A popular one is 'The Unbelievable Naruto Shenanigans'. This fanfiction has Naruto accidentally swapping bodies with a random animal in the forest and hilarity ensues as he tries to figure out how to get back to his normal self while still having to deal with ninja duties. It's full of comical misunderstandings and crazy action sequences.
One of the funniest is probably the ones where Naruto can talk to animals and they all have these sassy personalities. It completely changes the dynamic of his usual adventures.
There are RWBY crack fanfictions that focus on the characters' relationships in a very exaggerated way.
