Well, 'Naruto's Family Expansion' is also a notable one. This fanfiction not only shows Naruto adopting Sasuke but also how it impacts the entire village. It has some heart - warming scenes where the villagers slowly accept Sasuke as part of Naruto's family, and it also includes some action scenes where they fight together to protect their new - found family.
There are fanfictions where they go back in time. In such a story, they have the knowledge of their future selves. Naruto tries to prevent certain tragedies from happening, Sakura uses her medical skills to heal past wounds, and Sasuke is more open to working with them from the start. This kind of fanfiction often explores how they could have changed the course of their world's history if they had different knowledge and attitudes.
Some fanfictions focus on the emotional side of their friendship. Like, Sasuke has a difficult time dealing with his past traumas and Naruto is there for him every step of the way. They have heart - to - heart conversations and through this, their friendship deepens. It's not just about fighting side by side but also being there for each other during the tough times.
The theme of growth is very common. All three characters - Naruto (the adopter), Naruto (the younger self) and Sasuke - experience personal growth. They learn from each other, share their skills and knowledge. For example, Naruto might teach Sasuke some new jutsu, while the younger Naruto learns about the importance of friendship from Sasuke. This mutual growth is what makes these fanfictions interesting.
A really interesting fanfiction is 'Naruto and Sasuke: The Eternal Rivalry'. Here, the story focuses on how their rivalry impacts the rest of the shinobi world. It's not just about their personal battles but also how other characters view and are influenced by their competitive relationship. And there's also 'Rivalry in the Shadows' which dives deep into their psychological states as rivals, exploring their insecurities and how they use the rivalry to drive themselves forward.
One popular 'Naruto adopts Naruto and Sasuke' fanfiction might be 'A New Family in Konoha'. In this kind of fanfiction, it often explores unique relationships. It could show Naruto in a different light, perhaps as a more mature figure taking care of his younger self and Sasuke. It might involve them training together in new ways and dealing with the challenges of the ninja world while having this unorthodox family dynamic.
It would be very close. Kakashi would be like a father or an older brother to them. Naruto and Sasuke would respect and rely on him. They would probably have a more harmonious relationship with each other too, because Kakashi would be there to mediate any conflicts.
The fanfiction would likely show a different side of their development. Since Kakashi is a very experienced ninja, he could expose Naruto and Sasuke to different types of missions earlier. This would accelerate their growth not only in terms of combat skills but also in terms of understanding the ninja world. And with Kakashi as their adoptive father - figure, they would have a stronger emotional support system, which could potentially prevent some of the tragedies that happened in the original story.
One possible plot could be Sasuke finding Naruto as a baby, perhaps after some great disaster in the village. Sasuke, having changed his views, decides to take Naruto under his wing. He then has to deal with the challenges of raising a child while also facing the judgment of the village.
Protection is also a big theme. Naruto is always protecting Sasuke in these stories, whether from external threats or from Sasuke's own inner demons. It's like Naruto is a shield for Sasuke. And friendship is there too. Even though Naruto is in a father - like role, the essence of their friendship from the original story is still there, just in a different form.
There's a fanfic where Naruto and Sasuke are secretly best friends during their travels. They meet up at various hidden locations. Sasuke helps Naruto with his chakra control in private, and Naruto in turn shares his food and stories with Sasuke. It shows a different side to their relationship, one that is based on mutual understanding and friendship.
