In this fanfiction, the genin might be a prodigy in a non - combat area, like medical ninjutsu. However, he dreams of being an ANBU captain. He first has to convince the village elders that a medic can also be a great ANBU. He starts by using his medical skills to save his comrades during missions. This earns him respect. Then he begins to train in combat, learning from some of the best ANBU veterans. He faces discrimination from those who think a medic doesn't belong in the ANBU. But he perseveres, using his intelligence and medical knowledge to develop new combat techniques. Finally, he becomes an ANBU captain, leading a new era of ANBU that values both combat and medical skills.
The plot could start with the genin being an outcast in his own class. He is constantly underestimated because of his small stature or lack of a well - known family. But he has a hidden talent, like an extremely powerful chakra control. He starts to prove himself in small missions, gradually getting noticed by ANBU scouts. They give him some tests on the sly, which he passes. As he grows, he forms a rivalry with some of the more popular genin who are also aiming for high positions. Eventually, through hard work and a bit of luck, he becomes an ANBU captain.
A genin might have a tragic past in a Naruto fanfiction. Maybe his family was killed by rogue ninjas. This fuels his desire to become stronger. He trains relentlessly and shows great courage in missions. An ANBU operative notices his tenacity and brings him into the fold. He begins his journey as a genin in the ANBU training program. He faces tough competition from other trainees, but his willpower and unique combat style help him succeed. Eventually, he is named ANBU captain.
Well, the plot could involve Naruto having extraordinary powers that set him apart as a God - like figure. As an ANBU captain, he might lead his team on super - dangerous and top - secret missions. Maybe he uses his new - found God - like abilities to outwit and defeat powerful enemies that the normal shinobi can't handle. For example, he could have the power to instantly teleport to any location during a mission, which would give his team a huge advantage.
One common theme is identity. Naruto has to figure out who he is now that he's a genin again after being an Anbu. Another theme is growth. He has to grow in different ways compared to a normal genin, using his Anbu experiences. And there's also the theme of secrecy, as he may need to keep his Anbu past a secret from some people.
There might be a fanfiction where an Anbu agent takes a Genin under his wing not just for training but also to protect a secret. The Genin is unaware of the true nature of the mission at first. As the story progresses, they face many foes together and the Genin grows in strength and wisdom, eventually becoming a key part of the Anbu's plan.
Well, there's 'Naruto: Reborn as an Anbu Genin'. It shows Naruto's journey of adjusting to being a genin after his time in the Anbu. It delves into how he has to hide his Anbu - level knowledge and skills at first, but as the story progresses, he uses them to protect his friends and village in unexpected ways. It's really engaging.
The story could also explore Naruto's internal struggle. As an undercover ANBU captain, he has to follow orders that might conflict with his personal beliefs. For example, he may be ordered to spy on someone he considers a friend or ally in the village. This would create a lot of moral dilemmas for him and add depth to the story. He would also have to deal with the danger of being discovered, which could put not only himself but also the entire village at risk.
Well, a cool plot twist could be that Naruto, in his role as Anbu captain, stumbles upon a time - traveling jutsu. He then gets sent back in time to a crucial moment in the village's history. There, he has to use his knowledge and skills as an Anbu captain to change the past in a way that will prevent a future disaster for the village. It would be really exciting to see how he interacts with the past versions of the characters and how he manages to keep his true identity a secret while trying to save the day.
Sasuke can also be a popular choice. His journey from a Genin to a powerful ninja can be intertwined with the Anbu in fanfiction. Maybe he is being hunted by the Anbu for a while or he is recruited into the Anbu at some point in an alternate storyline.
One challenge could be secrecy. As an ANBU, Naruto would have to keep his Kitsune nature hidden from most, which could be difficult when using his powers. Another is the high - level threats. He'd face stronger enemies than before, and his Kitsune powers might not always be enough.
If Naruto were an Anbu captain, he'd likely be more reserved. He'd have to keep his emotions in check, which is different from his usual open - hearted self. He might not be as quick to jump into action without thinking, as the Anbu operate more stealthily.
