A plot twist could be that Akatsuki has a secret mission that only Naruto and Sakura can help with. Maybe there is an ancient power or a prophecy that involves the two of them. So, Akatsuki approaches them with an offer. Naruto, being curious and always up for a challenge, might be tempted. Sakura, though initially hesitant, would go along to keep Naruto out of trouble. However, once they join, they find out that the Akatsuki's real intentions are not what they seemed. This could lead to a battle of wits and power within the Akatsuki as Naruto and Sakura try to figure out what to do next.
Well, they might join Akatsuki in fanfiction because they think they can change the organization from the inside. Naruto, with his strong belief in redemption, could believe that he can turn the Akatsuki members to the good side. Sakura, who always stands by Naruto, would follow him. Once inside, they would face a lot of challenges. The Akatsuki members are all very powerful and have their own motives. Naruto and Sakura would have to deal with the likes of Itachi and Kisame. Itachi might see through their plan, or they might actually start to understand Itachi's own complex situation and motives which could lead to a whole new set of developments in the story.
Well, a great plot twist could be that Akatsuki is actually being controlled by a greater evil force that neither Naruto nor Itachi knew about. When they join, they start to notice strange behavior among the members that doesn't seem to align with the original goals of Akatsuki. Naruto, with his unwavering belief in friendship and Itachi's strategic mind, might then team up to expose this greater threat and save the ninja world. It would also be interesting if their joining Akatsuki causes a rift among the members, some seeing them as potential allies and others as enemies.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto and Sasuke join Akatsuki with the secret intention of reforming it from within. They might want to change the organization's goals from causing chaos to actually protecting the shinobi world in a different way. For example, they could try to use Akatsuki's resources and manpower to fight against a greater threat that the traditional shinobi villages are ignoring.
A plot twist could be that Akatsuki has a hidden agenda that Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are unaware of when they join. Maybe Akatsuki is being controlled by an even more powerful and sinister force, and the three are lured in as pawns. They then have to figure out the real situation and fight not only against the Akatsuki members who oppose their reform ideas but also against this hidden power.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto joins Akatsuki to secretly undermine it from within. He might pretend to go along with their evil plans, but in reality, he's gathering intelligence for the Hidden Leaf. For example, he could be the one to discover the true identity of the leader of Akatsuki before anyone else in the Leaf Village. This would add a layer of mystery and suspense to the story.
One possible plot twist could be that Sakura, while being raised by the Akatsuki, discovers a hidden power within herself that is related to the Akatsuki's goals. For example, she might find out that she has a special chakra that can unlock an ancient jutsu they've been seeking. This could put her in a difficult position as she has to decide whether to use it for their purposes or against them.
One possible plot twist could be that the Akatsuki initially saves Naruto for their own self - serving reasons. For example, they might want to use him as a bargaining chip against Konoha. But as time goes on, some members of the Akatsuki start to develop a real sense of comradeship with Naruto. They see his determination and the good in him, and this changes their perspective on the whole shinobi world.
The plot could involve a lot of internal conflict within the group. Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Tenten would bring their own values which are quite different from the typical Akatsuki members. For example, Sakura's strong belief in medical ninjutsu for healing rather than destruction. This could lead to power struggles within Akatsuki as they try to fit in or change the group's ways. Also, their relationships with the male characters in their original villages would be put to the test. Naruto, for instance, might be shocked and try to convince Sakura to leave Akatsuki, creating a complex web of emotions and storylines.
One possible plot could be that Naruto, for some reason, decides to join Akatsuki to get closer to Sasuke who is also associated with them. In the NaruSaku aspect, Sakura might be initially against Naruto's decision but later realizes she has to support him to bring him back. Naruto could be on a mission to reform Akatsuki from within, and Sakura could be his outside support, providing medical aid and strategic advice.
A plot twist might be that Naruto discovers that the Akatsuki was actually formed with good intentions in the past, but got corrupted over time. As the leader, he decides to go back to the original purpose. He then has to fight against the current power - hungry members while also trying to convince the other villages that the Akatsuki can be a force for good again. This would create a lot of tension and interesting character dynamics.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto joins the Akatsuki to spy on them for Konoha. But as he spends more time with the members, he starts to understand their motives, which are not all as evil as he initially thought. For example, some might be seeking revenge for past wrongs done to their villages.
