One possible plot could be that Naruto is a secret ANBU but he's on a special mission that requires him to act as a normal ninja most of the time. This dual life causes him a great deal of stress. He has to keep up appearances while also carrying out dangerous and classified ANBU operations. He may also be in a situation where he has to deceive some of his closest friends in order to protect the secrecy of his ANBU work.
Well, it could be about Naruto secretly training to become an ANBU member. Maybe he has to hide this from his friends because the ANBU work is so dangerous and secretive.
Well, it could be about Naruto and Hinata working on a super - secret ANBU mission together.

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 possible plot development could be that Kushina uses her influence within the village to start a formal request for Naruto to be returned from the ANBU. She might gather support from other characters who also care about Naruto's well - being, like Iruka or Jiraiya. This could lead to a series of political discussions within the village leadership about the role of the ANBU and whether Naruto's skills are better utilized elsewhere.
One possibility is that Naruto joins the Anbu to prove himself even more. He might face challenges like learning the stealthy ways of the Anbu which are very different from his usual open - combat style. He could also be sent on dangerous solo missions that test his limits both physically and mentally.
One possible plot could be Naruto retiring from the ANBU due to the toll it has taken on his mental and physical health. He might then focus on mentoring the next generation of ninja in Konoha, sharing his unique skills and experiences.
It could be a rogue ANBU member who has gone bad and is trying to expose Naruto's secret identity for some evil purpose.
One plot line might be that Naruto has a secret mission to protect a sacred object that has been hidden from the ninja world. This object could hold the key to some great power or knowledge.

One possibility is that Naruto is sent on a top - secret mission by ANBU. Maybe he has to infiltrate a powerful enemy organization. His disappearance could be part of a long - term undercover operation where he has to cut off all ties with his friends and the village for a while to avoid suspicion.
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.
