In many Naruto Himawari time - travel fanfictions, a key plot element is the interaction with past characters. Himawari or Naruto (if they are the time - travelers) will meet characters like the early Hokages or Naruto's old friends when he was younger. This interaction often leads to new friendships or rivalries. Also, there's usually a struggle against the rules of time. They might accidentally break some time - travel rules and have to face the consequences, like creating alternate timelines or facing time - guardians in some cases. It makes for a very exciting and complex plot.
One common theme is family discovery. Since Himawari is an Uzumaki, time travel often takes her to times when her clan was more prominent. She gets to learn about her family's past, like meeting long - lost relatives or understanding the significance of Uzumaki traditions. For example, in some fics, she meets her great - grandparents and they teach her some secret clan jutsu.
One possible plot could be that Boruto and Himawari travel back in time to the era of the First Hokage. They might witness the founding of Konoha and learn about the original values of the village. Boruto could use his modern - day knowledge of ninja techniques to help in some unforeseen situations, while Himawari's innocent charm could win over the hearts of the past shinobi.
In a more complex plot, there could be an evil force that wants to change the timeline in a way that would be disastrous for Bolt and Himawari's world. So, they have to time - travel through different eras to gather artifacts or powers that can stop this evil force. Along the way, they form new friendships, face their own fears, and learn more about each other and their place in the world.
If they travel together through time, their relationship becomes more of a partnership. They have to rely on each other in a different time period. This shared experience of exploring different eras and facing challenges together can make their bond even stronger. They might discover new things about each other that they never knew before, like Naruto finding out how brave and resourceful Himawari can be in a completely unfamiliar situation.
A third plot could be Naruto and Himawari time - traveling together. They could go to a time when the Hidden Leaf Village was in great danger, and with their combined powers, they could save the village. This would not only show their strong bond as father and daughter but also how their powers complement each other. For instance, Naruto's Rasengan combined with Himawari's Byakugan - enhanced attacks could be a formidable force against the enemies.
Often, there's a disruption of the original Naruto storyline. The time - travel may introduce new characters or abilities that don't quite fit into the established Naruto lore. Maybe Naruto travels back in time and accidentally creates a new jutsu that has no basis in the original series. Also, character relationships can get really muddled. He could change how he interacts with Sasuke or Sakura in a way that seems out of place compared to the original plot.
One interesting Naruto and Himawari time - travel fanfiction could be 'Himawari's Time - Twisting Adventure'. In this fic, Himawari accidentally activates a time - travel jutsu and ends up in the past. She has to navigate the world her father Naruto grew up in, which is full of challenges and mysteries. It's a great read as it shows Himawari's character development in a whole new setting.
Another plot might be that they travel to a future time that has gone horribly wrong. Naruto and Himawari then have to figure out what went wrong in their own time to cause this future and try to correct it. They could face new enemies and make new allies in this strange future world.
Another element is the Anbu Commander sharing future knowledge. He might tell the younger Kakashi about Obito's survival, which would change a lot of things in the story. This would create a whole new set of interactions and story developments. He could also share knowledge about new jutsu or threats that are coming in the future, which would allow the ninja of that time to better prepare.
Growth and development is also a theme. Himawari might start the fanfiction as a bit of a naive or inexperienced girl, but through her interactions with Naruto, she grows in confidence, skill, and understanding of the ninja world.
