Obviously Naruto would be the main character as it's about him being the 'god of pranks'. His friends like Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi are likely to be important characters too. Sasuke might be the target of many of Naruto's pranks, which could add some humorous tension between them. And Kakashi, as Naruto's teacher, might be constantly trying to stop Naruto's pranks or get caught up in them.
Well, in this 'naruto god of pranks fanfiction', it might focus on Naruto's growth not just as a ninja but also as the ultimate prankster. It could show how his pranks start to have a deeper meaning, like using them to teach his friends lessons or to outwit his enemies in a non - violent way. For example, he might prank Orochimaru by making him think he has found a powerful new jutsu, but it turns out to be a fake, which could be a way of Naruto showing his intelligence and creativity.
Obviously Naruto is the main character as he is the one usually pulling the pranks. His friends like Shikamaru might also be involved, either as victims of the pranks or as accomplices. Sakura could be in there too, perhaps getting annoyed at Naruto's pranks or being part of a prank on someone else.
The main character is Naruto for sure. When it comes to the Anbu, there could be some new and original Anbu characters created just for this fanfiction. They could have unique abilities and personalities. Naruto's relationship with these made - up Anbu characters could be really interesting. He might prank them in ways that play off of their individual quirks. For example, if one Anbu is really proud of his speed, Naruto could set up a prank that makes it seem like he's much slower than he thinks.
One of the funniest pranks could be that the Kyuubi makes Naruto's clones start singing cheesy pop songs instead of following his commands. Naruto often uses his clones in battles and for various tasks. So when he sends them to attack an enemy, they all start singing and dancing instead. This would not only be a shock to Naruto but also to his opponents. Another great prank would be the Kyuubi making Naruto's body move in the opposite direction of what he wants. So when he tries to jump forward, he jumps backward instead, leading to all sorts of comical situations.
I don't know for sure as I haven't read it. It could be original characters created by the fanfiction writer, or it might be based on existing characters from a related story or movie.
Typically, Harry is one of the main ones. He has a knack for getting into and out of trouble with his pranks. Hermione might also be involved in some pranks in a more strategic way, using her vast knowledge of magic to create unique and elaborate pranks. And of course, the Weasley twins are almost always at the center of the most elaborate and chaotic pranks in the fanfiction.
One of the pranks Naruto might do is to mess with the Anbu's communication system. He could use his knowledge of chakra and some basic electronics (if we assume some modern - like elements in the fanfiction) to scramble their signals. This would make it difficult for them to coordinate with each other, and they'd be running around trying to figure out what's wrong while Naruto watches from a hiding place, having a great laugh.
In a Naruto pranks Hyuuga fanfiction, Naruto might use his typical mischievous tactics. For example, he could use his shadow clone jutsu to create chaos around the Hyuuga compound. Maybe he'd make clones that pretend to be important visitors and then act all silly to embarrass the Hyuuga. It would be a really funny scenario as the serious Hyuuga clan tries to deal with Naruto's antics.
Naruto could enlist the help of his friends like Shikamaru. Shikamaru could come up with a really elaborate plan. For example, they could set up a fake mission where Ibiki thinks he's in charge, but it's all just a setup for a series of pranks. They could have actors pretending to be enemy ninjas who act really silly instead of being threatening. And Naruto could keep popping up in unexpected places during this 'mission' to further annoy Ibiki.
Sakura's reactions can vary. Sometimes she tries to get revenge on Naruto for his pranks. If he plays a prank that makes her look silly in front of Sasuke, like the fake love letter prank, she'll be really mad and try to think of a way to make Naruto pay. Sasuke might pretend not to care, but if the prank affects his image too much, like the hair product switch, he'll give Naruto a cold stare. Kakashi is more laid - back and just watches the whole thing unfold like it's entertainment.
