Well, it could be that Naruto is sent back in time briefly and ends up looking like Minato due to some time - travel magic. Since he's already dressed like Minato, he has to pretend to be his father to avoid disrupting the timeline. During this time, he gets to see how Minato interacted with the people of Konoha and the challenges he faced. This experience helps Naruto gain a deeper understanding of his father and also gives him some new techniques to bring back to his own time.
One possible plot could be Naruto and Minato having a deep conversation about Naruto's journey as Hokage. Minato might share his own experiences and offer advice on handling the tough decisions. They could also talk about family, like how Naruto is raising his own kids and how Minato wished he could have been there for Naruto's upbringing.
One possibility could be that Minato was under some kind of mind - control spell. Maybe an enemy of Konoha managed to manipulate him into thinking that Naruto was in danger by being in the village. So, Minato kidnaps Naruto to take him to what he believes is a safer place. But as the story unfolds, Naruto tries to figure out what's wrong with his father and tries to break the spell on him.
Well, one possibility is that Minato arrives just in time to save Naruto from a powerful enemy like Orochimaru. He could use his Flying Raijin to quickly reach Naruto and then use his other jutsu to fend off the attacker.
One possible plot could be Naruto learning unique jutsu from Minato right from the start. Minato could teach Naruto how to use the Flying Thunder God Technique at an early age. This would change Naruto's battles significantly, as he could quickly move around the battlefield and surprise his enemies. He might also learn about Minato's leadership skills and how to handle difficult situations within the village, making him more respected among the villagers much earlier in the story.
Well, it could start with Naruto being in a situation where he feels lost about his own path. Then, he starts researching about Minato more deeply. He finds out about Minato's early struggles, how he overcame them, and his great contributions to Konoha. As Naruto delves into Minato's story, he realizes that Minato was a true hero in every sense. This realization makes Naruto look up to Minato, and he decides to incorporate Minato's values into his own ninja way.
Maybe there's some sort of misunderstanding or a powerful enemy who has framed Naruto. Minato, following the rules of the village, arrests Naruto. As Naruto is in prison, his friends try to find evidence to prove his innocence, and Minato gradually realizes he's made a mistake and starts to help them from the inside.
A 'Naruto Minato Revived' fanfiction could have a plot where Minato is revived in a time of relative peace. He has to adjust to the new world where his son is a hero. He could start mentoring the younger generation of ninjas in the Leaf Village, sharing his knowledge about sealing techniques and combat strategies. He might also be involved in some political intrigue within the village as some might fear his power or see him as a threat to the new order.
Another idea is that Naruto's strong will and determination somehow reach Minato in the past. Minato, inspired by this unseen force which is actually Naruto from the future, finds the strength within himself to overcome a seemingly impossible situation. This could be during the Nine - Tails attack on Konoha, where Naruto's spirit gives Minato the idea to seal the Nine - Tails in a different way that doesn't cost him his life.
One possible plot could be that Naruto, being the same age as Minato, is trained directly by Minato from the start. Minato could pass on all his skills and knowledge without the need for other mentors like Jiraiya or Kakashi. They could face the threats to the village together much earlier, and Naruto might grow up with a different sense of confidence and leadership, having his father by his side all along.
One possible plot could be Minato and Kushina looking on with pride as Naruto marries Hinata. They might be reminiscing about their own relationship and how far Naruto has come. They could also be interacting with the other guests, sharing stories of Naruto's childhood that the others may not know.
