Perhaps Naruto joining Akatsuki changes the whole dynamic of the organization. Instead of being a group solely focused on collecting tailed beasts, they start to have a new goal under Naruto's influence. He could convince them to use their power for more positive ends, like protecting the ninja world from a greater threat that the Leaf Village and Akatsuki could face together. This would be a huge shift in the traditional view of Akatsuki.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto joins Akatsuki to secretly undermine it from within. He might pretend to go along with their evil plans, but in reality, he's gathering intelligence for the Hidden Leaf. For example, he could be the one to discover the true identity of the leader of Akatsuki before anyone else in the Leaf Village. This would add a layer of mystery and suspense to the story.
Another interesting plot twist could be that Naruto's entry into Akatsuki causes a rift among its members. Some might see him as a valuable asset, while others are suspicious of his motives. This internal conflict within Akatsuki could lead to some intense battles and power struggles. Maybe Naruto's positive attitude starts to influence some of the members, making them question their own actions and allegiances.
Well, a great plot twist could be that Akatsuki is actually being controlled by a greater evil force that neither Naruto nor Itachi knew about. When they join, they start to notice strange behavior among the members that doesn't seem to align with the original goals of Akatsuki. Naruto, with his unwavering belief in friendship and Itachi's strategic mind, might then team up to expose this greater threat and save the ninja world. It would also be interesting if their joining Akatsuki causes a rift among the members, some seeing them as potential allies and others as enemies.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto and Sasuke join Akatsuki with the secret intention of reforming it from within. They might want to change the organization's goals from causing chaos to actually protecting the shinobi world in a different way. For example, they could try to use Akatsuki's resources and manpower to fight against a greater threat that the traditional shinobi villages are ignoring.
Well, they might join Akatsuki in fanfiction because they think they can change the organization from the inside. Naruto, with his strong belief in redemption, could believe that he can turn the Akatsuki members to the good side. Sakura, who always stands by Naruto, would follow him. Once inside, they would face a lot of challenges. The Akatsuki members are all very powerful and have their own motives. Naruto and Sakura would have to deal with the likes of Itachi and Kisame. Itachi might see through their plan, or they might actually start to understand Itachi's own complex situation and motives which could lead to a whole new set of developments in the story.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto's unorthodox training methods clash with the more traditional approach of Team 10. For example, Naruto might try to introduce his shadow clone training, but the members of Team 10, like Shikamaru who prefers more strategic and less energy - consuming methods, initially resist. This could lead to some interesting character development as they learn from each other. Another plot twist could be Naruto's relationship with Ino. Since Naruto has a history with Sakura, Ino might be jealous or feel threatened at first. But as they work together on missions, they could develop a unique bond, perhaps even a friendly rivalry that helps both of them grow stronger.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto has to keep his ANBU identity a secret from his teammates, even during dangerous missions. This would add a layer of tension and internal conflict for Naruto as he struggles between following ANBU protocol and being a true teammate. Another twist could be that the Hidden ANBU has an ulterior motive for placing Naruto in Team 7, perhaps to spy on Kakashi or one of the other members. This would lead to a complex web of mistrust and mystery within the team. Also, Naruto might have special ANBU - related abilities that are awakened during crucial moments in the story, abilities that not only surprise his enemies but also his own team, changing the dynamics of how they approach battles and missions.
One possible plot could be that Naruto, for some reason, decides to join Akatsuki to get closer to Sasuke who is also associated with them. In the NaruSaku aspect, Sakura might be initially against Naruto's decision but later realizes she has to support him to bring him back. Naruto could be on a mission to reform Akatsuki from within, and Sakura could be his outside support, providing medical aid and strategic advice.
A plot twist might be that Naruto discovers that the Akatsuki was actually formed with good intentions in the past, but got corrupted over time. As the leader, he decides to go back to the original purpose. He then has to fight against the current power - hungry members while also trying to convince the other villages that the Akatsuki can be a force for good again. This would create a lot of tension and interesting character dynamics.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto joins the Akatsuki to spy on them for Konoha. But as he spends more time with the members, he starts to understand their motives, which are not all as evil as he initially thought. For example, some might be seeking revenge for past wrongs done to their villages.
In this fanfiction, Naruto joining Akatsuki might lead to him and Konan teaming up to uncover the secrets of the organization. Naruto's unique abilities and his way of befriending people could make Konan open up about her past and her true desires. Their relationship could develop into a mutual respect and admiration. Naruto might also try to convince Konan that there are better ways to achieve peace than Akatsuki's violent methods, which could create a lot of internal conflict and drama in the story.
One possible plot twist could be that the Akatsuki initially saves Naruto for their own self - serving reasons. For example, they might want to use him as a bargaining chip against Konoha. But as time goes on, some members of the Akatsuki start to develop a real sense of comradeship with Naruto. They see his determination and the good in him, and this changes their perspective on the whole shinobi world.
