Maybe in the fanfic, the Tournament of Power is rigged from the start. Naruto's team realizes this early on. Their journey could be about finding evidence of the rigging while still competing. They might encounter traitors within their own ranks who are working for the ones behind the rigged tournament. Along the way, Naruto has to use his skills not only in battle but also in diplomacy to keep his team together.
One possible plot could be that Broly, still new to the ways of the other universes in the Tournament of Power, initially struggles to work with his team. He's so used to fighting alone. But as the tournament progresses, he starts to understand the importance of teamwork. He forms an unlikely alliance with a smaller, more strategic fighter. Together, they come up with unique battle plans that surprise their opponents.
Well, in a 'Bardock in the Tournament of Power' fanfic, Bardock could start off as a wild card entry. He might initially be distrusted by some of the other Universe 7 members. But as the tournament progresses, he shows his loyalty and strength. He could form an unlikely alliance with a non - Saiyan fighter, say Android 17. Together they could come up with strategies to outwit their enemies, using Bardock's brute force and 17's calculative mind.
Well, it could be about Naruto entering a secret and dark tournament where the rules are brutal. Maybe he has to fight against powerful foes he's never encountered before, like some rogue ninjas with new and dangerous jutsus. And there could be some mystery behind the tournament, like who's really organizing it and what their end goal is.
A great plot could involve the resurrection of past powerful ninja to participate in the Tournament of Power. Imagine if the likes of Hashirama and Madara were brought back. Naruto and his allies would have to face not only the current threats but also these legendary ninja. There would be a lot of drama as Naruto tries to understand their motives and also figure out how to defeat them without causing too much destruction.
One possible plot could be that an underdog OC (original character) from a small, unknown universe enters the Tournament of Power. This OC has a unique power that is not immediately obvious. As the tournament progresses, they start forming alliances with other unlikely characters. Through a series of battles and challenges, they gradually unlock the full potential of their power and become a real threat to the more established and powerful fighters. In the end, they might even make it to the final rounds, surprising everyone.
Maybe in the fanfiction, the Tournament of Power rules are changed specifically for Saitama. Instead of just fighting, he has to complete various challenges like making his opponents laugh before knocking them out. This would add a humorous twist to the story as Saitama tries to come up with different ways to make his opponents crack up, all while still being his super - strong self.
One possible plot could be Naruto somehow obtaining Escanor's power of the sun. He could use this newfound power during a major battle against a powerful enemy like Kaguya. With Escanor's power, Naruto's physical strength and the intensity of his attacks would increase exponentially, allowing him to hold his own against Kaguya's otherworldly abilities and finally defeat her in a more epic way.
The plot might involve Goku SSJ4 teaming up with some unexpected allies in the Tournament of Power. He could be using his SSJ4 powers in creative ways, like combining them with the techniques of his new allies to gain an edge over the other universes' competitors.
A plot twist could also involve Broly being transported to a different dimension during the tournament. In this new dimension, he has to face off against versions of his enemies that are much stronger or have different abilities. He would then have to find a way to return to the Tournament of Power while also dealing with these new threats.
A plot could revolve around a team-up that no one expected. Like a villain and a hero from different universes having to work together in the Tournament of Power. They start off distrusting each other but gradually learn to respect and rely on one another. This could add a whole new layer of drama and character development to the fanfiction.
