In this fanfiction, Hinata could be badass in a way that she challenges the village elders directly about Naruto's banishment. She argues that Naruto has been the savior of the village multiple times and his banishment is unjust. As she does this, she also showcases her new and improved combat skills, which she has been secretly honing, to intimidate those who oppose her and show that she will fight for Naruto's return.
Hinata would develop more leadership qualities. With Naruto gone, she realizes that someone needs to step up and be a symbol of hope for those who still believe in Naruto. This would make her more confident in making decisions for the greater good of the village and its relationship with Naruto when he returns.
A possible plot could involve the banished mercenary being from a long - lost clan. The reason for his banishment was a false accusation by a rival clan. As he wanders the Naruto world as a mercenary, he discovers clues about his clan's true heritage and power. He then uses his skills as a mercenary to gather allies and resources to prove his clan's innocence and restore its honor. Along the way, he crosses paths with Naruto and his friends and they either help or hinder his quest depending on the situation.
One plot idea could be Naruto being banished to the world of One Piece. He could join the Straw Hat Pirates and use his ninja skills in new and exciting ways. For example, his shadow clone jutsu could be used for various tasks on the ship. Another idea is that he gets banished to the Bleach universe. He might learn about Soul Reapers and Hollows, and his chakra could be seen as a unique form of spiritual energy there. Maybe he could even train with the Soul Society to become stronger.
One idea could be that the character with the Sharingan is banished due to false accusations of using its power for evil. He then has to journey alone, facing challenges and learning to control his power in new ways. Maybe he meets a group of outcasts who he befriends and together they fight against the unjust system that banished him.
One idea could be that Naruto and Tenten are banished due to a false accusation of plotting against the village. They then have to prove their innocence while on the run. They might encounter old enemies who have also been exiled and form an unlikely alliance to clear their names.
One interesting plot could be that Naruto is betrayed by the Hidden Leaf Village due to false accusations of being a spy for a powerful enemy. Banished, he then discovers new powers or allies outside the village. He might form his own group of outcasts and come back to the village to prove his innocence and seek revenge on those who wronged him.
One plot idea could be that Naruto, after being banished, crosses paths with Kurenai who is on a solo mission. She initially has her doubts about him due to his banishment but gradually realizes he was wrongly accused. They team up to face a common enemy that threatens the village from afar. This could lead to a growing bond between them.
Perhaps Naruto, in his banished state, has some new and unique abilities that Temari is intrigued by. She decides to help him master these powers in secret. As they train together, feelings start to develop. Their relationship could then be a source of conflict between Konoha and Suna as the two villages have different views on Naruto's banishment and his newfound connection with Temari.
Well, there could be a plot where Naruto is a half - vampire. His mother was a human and his father was a vampire. Hinata is drawn to his unique nature. They end up on a journey to discover more about Naruto's vampire heritage. On this journey, they encounter different vampire clans. Some are friendly and some are hostile. Naruto has to use his vampire powers, like enhanced strength and the ability to see in the dark, to protect Hinata. And through all these adventures, their love for each other blossoms.
One idea could be Naruto as Hokage facing a new threat that only Hinata's unique skills can help with. For example, a mysterious enemy that can nullify normal ninjutsu, but Hinata's Byakugan - based techniques are effective. Another plot could be a time - travel fanfic where Naruto and Hinata go back in time and have to prevent a disaster that would change the future of the Hidden Leaf Village. They could also explore their relationship in a different era.
