One possible plotline could be Naruto feeling a great sense of betrayal. He might go off on his own journey to become stronger in a different way than in the original story. Maybe he meets new allies who help him discover new powers or techniques.
In a 'Naruto removed from Team 7' fanfic, Naruto may also start to explore his family history more deeply. Since he's no longer part of the team that keeps him occupied in the original story, he has more time to look into his Uzumaki heritage. He could discover secrets that were previously hidden from him, which might give him an edge in the ninja world. He might also cross paths with characters who are related to his family, leading to unexpected alliances and story developments.
Another plot could involve the remaining members of Team 7, Sasuke and Sakura, struggling without Naruto. They might realize how much they took Naruto for granted. Meanwhile, Naruto could be recruited by a different group or organization that has its own goals, and he has to decide whether to align with them or not. This could lead to some interesting conflicts, especially if he eventually has to face off against his former team.
The relationship between Sasuke and Sakura would change significantly. Without Naruto as a buffer, they might have a more strained relationship. Sasuke could become even more aloof, and Sakura might struggle to understand him without Naruto's positive influence. Also, their team dynamic would be completely different, and they might not grow as much as they did in the original story.
A plotline might involve Snape being removed unjustly. His allies or some students who knew his true nature might try to fight for his reinstatement. There could also be a story where Snape's removal causes a power vacuum in Hogwarts, and different factions start vying for control of certain aspects of the school. It could also lead to a discovery of secrets that Snape was protecting while he was at Hogwarts.
One possible replacement could be Gai. He is a strong and enthusiastic ninja who has a friendly rivalry with Kakashi. He could bring a different kind of training style to Team 7, focusing more on physical and direct combat training, which would contrast with Kakashi's more laid - back and strategic approach.
One possible plotline could be that they go on a mission to a far - off land to retrieve a powerful and ancient artifact. Along the way, Hinata's Byakugan helps them detect hidden traps and enemies. Sasuke uses his Sharingan to analyze combat situations quickly, and Naruto with his Nine - Tails chakra provides the brute strength. They face many challenges together and in the process, their teamwork and understanding of each other deepens.
One possible plotline could be Naruto having to control the power of the Jubbi. He might struggle at first, but with his determination, he gradually learns to harness it for good, like using it to protect the Hidden Leaf Village from a new, powerful enemy.
Maybe Naruto runs away from the Sharrigan because he is framed for a crime he didn't commit. The Sharrigan - wielding enemies believe he has done something wrong and he has no choice but to flee. As he runs, he meets new allies who help him clear his name and also understand the true nature of the Sharrigan better.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto finally returns after a long and dangerous mission. Sakura, who has been worried sick, is so overjoyed to see him alive that she impulsively kisses him. Another could be in an alternate universe where Naruto and Sakura are forced to pretend to be a couple for a mission, and during the course of it, real feelings develop and they end up kissing.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto is on a highly dangerous mission alone, perhaps against an extremely powerful and unexpected enemy. He might sacrifice himself to protect his village or his comrades. For example, he could be facing a new type of jinchuriki whose power he underestimated, and in the end, he uses all his strength to seal the enemy away, but at the cost of his own life.
In a Naruto Kurenai pregnant fanfic, the plot could focus on the medical aspects as well. Given the unique world of Naruto with its own medical ninjutsu, it could show how the village's medical team takes care of Kurenai during her pregnancy. Maybe there are some complications that only the special ninja medicine can solve. Additionally, the plot could involve Kurenai training in a different way during her pregnancy to keep her skills sharp but also be safe for the baby. This could lead to her developing new techniques or modifying her old ones. And of course, there could be a sub - plot about the other characters' anticipation of the new addition to the village.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto accidentally uses his fingers in a special jutsu near Sakura and it has an unexpected effect on her chakra. Maybe it disrupts her normal chakra flow momentarily, leading to a situation where Naruto has to help her regain control. This could be a way to deepen their friendship or understanding of each other's powers in the fanfic.
