Kakashi could also be paired with Ebisu. Kakashi is a very skilled and experienced ninja. A fanfiction could show how Ebisu might learn from Kakashi's combat and leadership skills, or how they collaborate on a dangerous mission.
Naruto is an obvious choice as they have an existing relationship in the original series. Their interactions can be further explored and developed in fanfiction.
Naruto is often paired with Ebisu Sensei in fanfiction. Since Ebisu was assigned to train Naruto at one point, many fanfictions build on that relationship, showing how Naruto grows under his tutelage and how Ebisu has to adapt to Naruto's unorthodox ways.
Well, if Naruto was raised by Ebisu, he'd probably be more of a bookworm. Ebisu seems to value knowledge and proper study. Naruto might be less likely to pull pranks and more into studying ninja scrolls. His fighting style could also be more calculated and less impulsive. He'd likely have a different set of friends too, as Ebisu might steer him towards more studious peers.
One interesting Naruto Ebisu fanfiction could be about Ebisu training Naruto in some unique and secret ninja techniques. Maybe he takes Naruto to a secluded place in the forest where he shows him ancient jutsu passed down in his family.
Naruto Ebisu fanfics are special because Ebisu is a rather underrated character in the original series. Fanfics give him a chance to shine. For example, they can explore his relationship with Naruto in more depth. Maybe Ebisu has some hidden skills or knowledge that he imparts to Naruto in these stories.
One great Naruto Ebisu fanfic is 'Ebisu's Hidden Potential'. It delves into Ebisu's backstory more deeply. It shows how he trained in his early days and his relationships with other characters like Iruka. Another interesting one is 'Ebisu in the Shadows'. This fanfic focuses on Ebisu's role in some of the village's secret missions that are not shown in the original series.
One interesting Naruto Ebisu Sensei fanfiction could be about his training methods in more detail. Maybe it shows how he adjusts his teaching style for different students like Naruto. He might come up with some really unique and challenging exercises that we didn't see in the original series.
His personality would likely be more subdued. Ebisu is a rather proper and disciplined character, so Naruto would probably be less rambunctious.
Another character could be Kakashi. Kakashi's wisdom combined with Byakuya's combat skills and Naruto's determination would make for a really engaging story. Kakashi could study Byakuya's techniques and try to incorporate some of that into Naruto's training, while also trying to understand Byakuya's motives in the Naruto world.
I think Mario and Hinata would be an interesting pair. Hinata's shy but strong - willed nature could contrast with Mario's always - positive and heroic attitude. And Mario could help Hinata become more confident in this cross - over scenario. Another good pair could be Toad and Shikamaru. Toad's small but brave self and Shikamaru's intelligence would make for an engaging dynamic.
Sasuke could be a great addition. His complex relationship with Naruto already exists and adding Touka to the mix could create some really interesting dynamics. They could all be involved in a high - stakes battle against a new and powerful enemy.
