Naruto could find redemption by sacrificing himself for a greater good. If there is a situation where the Akatsuki's actions are about to cause a great catastrophe, Naruto could put himself in harm's way to stop it. This would not only show his true nature but also earn him redemption both in the eyes of the Akatsuki members who might still have some good in them and in the eyes of his own people.
Another way is to break free from the Akatsuki and return to Konoha. Once back, he could use his experience with the Akatsuki to better protect the village. He might also work towards redeeming himself in the eyes of his friends and the village by proving that his time with the Akatsuki was a learning experience that made him stronger in his resolve to protect.
One possible reason could be that Naruto feels out of place within the Akatsuki. In fanfiction, Naruto might join the Akatsuki for various reasons, like being misled or having a different view of their goals. But once there, he realizes that their actions go against his own values. For example, if the Akatsuki is involved in harming innocent people, Naruto, who values life and friendship, would become dejected. He might also feel dejected if he fails to convince the other members of the Akatsuki to change their ways, as he is a character who often tries to find the good in people.
One possible reason could be that Naruto might feel out of place among the Akatsuki. The Akatsuki is known for their dark deeds and Naruto, with his strong sense of justice, could be morally conflicted. He may also be dejected because he realizes that some of his friends or the village he loves might view him differently now that he's associated with the Akatsuki in the fanfiction.
