Overcoming adversity is a big one. Naruto has always been a fighter, and in these fanfictions, he has to fight in a different way when paralyzed. Another theme is friendship. His friends' reactions and how they support him through his difficult time are often explored.
The theme of self - discovery also comes up. When Naruto is paralyzed, he may reevaluate his life and his role as a ninja. He might find new strengths he didn't know he had. For example, his ability to inspire others could become even more pronounced. Also, the theme of redemption can be there if his paralysis was caused by his own mistake in using a powerful technique. He has to come to terms with that and find a way to make up for it.
Another theme is the exploration of his relationships. His friends may have to adjust to his new state, and this can lead to different relationship dynamics which are often explored in these fanfics. For example, Hermione might be more protective or Ron could struggle with how to interact with a paralyzed Harry. Also, there's often a theme of self - discovery. Harry may find new aspects of himself or new ways to use magic while dealing with his paralysis.
One common theme could be the character's struggle and adaptation. Bella being paralyzed would mean she has to face new challenges, like learning to live a different lifestyle. It could also explore how other characters interact with her in this new situation.
The theme of hope also runs through many of these fanfictions. Despite the paralysis, the characters often find reasons to keep going. It could be the hope of a magical cure, or the hope that they can still contribute to the fight against evil in the wizarding world, like by providing strategic advice or emotional support.
Another theme is the exploration of vulnerability. The paralyzed hero is in a vulnerable state, and this allows for a deeper connection with the other characters, especially the love interest. For example, in 'Me Before You', the hero's vulnerability due to his paralysis makes the relationship with the female lead more intense and meaningful. Also, there's often a theme of hope. The relationship gives the hero and those around them hope for a better future, a future where love can thrive in spite of the difficulties presented by the paralysis.
One common theme is character relationships. For example, exploring the deepening friendship between Naruto and Sasuke, or Naruto's romantic relationships with characters like Hinata. Another theme is the expansion of the ninja world. Writers might create new villages, new ninja clans, or new jutsu. Also, the idea of alternate universes is popular, where the events in the original 'Naruto' series take a different turn.
One common theme is alternate universes. Writers often like to create scenarios where Naruto and his friends are in a different world altogether, like a modern - day setting or a fantasy world other than the ninja world. This allows for a fresh take on the characters.
One common theme is the passing of the torch. Older Naruto is often shown mentoring the younger generation, like how Kakashi mentored him. Another theme is dealing with the scars of past battles, both physical and mental.
One common theme is the exploration of their self - discovery. Since they are the same person in a sense, they can see different aspects of themselves. For example, one Naruto might be more confident while the other is more reserved, and they learn from each other.
Teamwork is also a big theme. Despite being the same person in essence, the two Narutos often have to learn to work together. This can be challenging as they may have different personalities due to their different experiences. For example, one Naruto might be more cautious while the other is more impulsive. And the theme of friendship also plays a role, as they are, in a way, their own best friends in these stories.
Another theme is self - discovery. As Naruto faces his dark side, he often learns more about his true nature, his powers, and his place in the ninja world. It's like a journey of self - exploration but with a dark and dangerous twist.
