Well, in this type of fanfiction, the Anbu Commander's time travel could have a huge impact on the story. He could go back in time and ally with the younger versions of the Sannin. Together, they could face threats that were previously too difficult to handle. This would not only change the power dynamics in the Naruto world but also reshape the relationships between different characters. For example, if he helps Orochimaru before he goes bad, it could lead to a completely different storyline with Orochimaru being a force for good instead of a villain.
One possible scenario in such a fanfiction could be that the Anbu Commander travels back in time to prevent a major tragedy in the Naruto world. Maybe he goes back to stop the Uchiha massacre. He could use his knowledge of future events and his Anbu skills to change the course of history.
One possible scenario in such a fanfiction could be Naruto using his new godlike powers to reform the Anbu. He might introduce new training methods that are more humane yet highly effective, changing the often dark and secretive reputation of the Anbu. For example, instead of the traditional harsh and solitary training, he could promote team - based training where members learn to trust and rely on each other more.
Another element is the Anbu Commander sharing future knowledge. He might tell the younger Kakashi about Obito's survival, which would change a lot of things in the story. This would create a whole new set of interactions and story developments. He could also share knowledge about new jutsu or threats that are coming in the future, which would allow the ninja of that time to better prepare.
I think Yamato could be a good choice too. His ability to control wood style could be really useful in the past. Maybe he could time - travel to help with the growth of the first trees in the ninja world or something like that. And his calm and collected nature would help him adapt to the new situation in the past.
Naruto's leadership style is all about friendship and believing in people. So, in the Anbu, he would likely encourage the members to trust each other more. He'd break down the cold and aloof image that the Anbu often has. Instead of just following orders blindly, Naruto would want his team to think for themselves and contribute ideas.
Well, in a Naruto fanfiction where he's a secret ANBU commander, the plot could revolve around his struggle to balance his new responsibilities with his old self. As an ANBU, he has to be cold and calculating, but Naruto is known for his big heart. He might face moral dilemmas during missions, like whether to sacrifice a few to save many. His relationships with other characters would also change. His friends might start to notice his secrecy and distance, leading to some interesting character dynamics. And there could be a new villain or group that specifically targets the ANBU, making Naruto's job even more challenging.
One common theme is leadership. Since Naruto is an ANBU commander, stories often explore how he leads his team, makes tough decisions, and earns the respect of his subordinates. Another theme is secrecy and mystery. The ANBU are a secretive organization, so fanfictions usually have elements of hidden agendas and unknown threats. Also, the theme of redemption can be present, as Naruto may try to redeem the ANBU's reputation or certain characters within the organization.
Sakura could be his most trusted ally. She has grown into a very capable ninja herself. Her medical skills would be invaluable in the dangerous missions that the ANBU undertakes. She could also provide emotional support to Naruto when he faces the tough decisions of being a commander.
One possible plot could be her facing a mysterious enemy within the village who is trying to undermine the ANBU. She has to use her unique skills and knowledge of the village to uncover the traitor. Since she's female in this fanfic, she might also face discrimination from some of the more traditional ANBU members at first, but she proves herself with her combat and leadership abilities.
As the ANBU commander, Naruto would surely face many challenges. He'd have to deal with the politics within the ANBU itself. There might be some members who are resistant to his new ideas or way of doing things. Also, he'd need to balance his duties as a commander with his personal relationships, like his friendship with Sasuke and others. Maybe he'd use his position to try and bring Sasuke back to the village in a more official capacity as part of the ANBU's operations.
Maybe Naruto as the ANBU Commander has to deal with internal strife within the ANBU. Some members might be against his unorthodox methods. He has to prove himself not only as a strong ninja but also as a capable leader. He could start by implementing new training regimens that improve the overall strength of the ANBU while also building trust among the members.
