Well, it could be that the Raikage at that time has some sort of special connection with Naruto. For example, he might be on the verge of death and sees Naruto as the only one who can lead the village to a new era. Naruto's reputation for fairness and his ability to inspire loyalty could also play a huge part in this transition.
One possibility is through a series of political upheavals in the Hidden Cloud Village. Maybe there's a lack of suitable candidates among the Raikage lineage, and Naruto, with his great strength and diplomatic skills, is invited to take on the role. His experience in uniting different villages during the Fourth Shinobi War makes him a viable option.
In a fanfiction where Naruto becomes Raikage, he would likely impact the village's internal power structure. Naruto has always fought against discrimination, so he may try to break down the class systems within the Cloud Village. He'd also inspire the younger generation of ninja with his never - give - up attitude and his own journey from an outcast to a hero.
There would be a shift in the power dynamics among the villages. With Naruto as Raikage, the Cloud Village might become more of a central figure in peace - making efforts. Naruto's influence could lead to more cooperation between the villages, reducing the chances of conflicts. Also, his presence in the Cloud Village might attract more ninja from other villages to come and learn from him, creating a more diverse ninja community there.
Well, if Naruto were banished and became Raikage in fanfiction, it would be a huge shift. He'd bring his own style of leadership. His experience in Konoha would influence how he runs the Hidden Cloud. Maybe he'd introduce new training methods like he learned from Jiraiya, and also promote more unity between the different ninja villages. He could also use his Nine - Tails chakra in unique ways to protect the Cloud Village.
Well, one possible plot could be that Naruto is wrongly accused in Konoha and banished. He then travels to the Land of Lightning. There, he shows his amazing skills and strength which are recognized by the people. Gradually, he rises through the ranks and becomes a candidate for Raikage. He uses his ninja way to bring new ideas and unity to the village, facing challenges from traditionalists along the way.
Perhaps Naruto, out of gratitude, will offer to help the Raikage with some of Kumogakure's internal problems. There could be a group within the village causing unrest or there might be a threat to the Raikage's leadership. Naruto, with his charisma and power, could play a key role in resolving these issues and strengthening the relationship between the two villages.
One way could be through some sort of magical or spiritual accident. Maybe a powerful demon or wizard accidentally casts a spell that transports Naruto's soul into Sesshomaru's world and into his body. Naruto's willpower and his own chakra system could then start to influence Sesshomaru's body in unique ways.
Well, one way could be through some kind of strange jutsu gone wrong. Maybe Naruto was experimenting with a new type of chakra manipulation and it accidentally combined with some sort of mutagenic energy, similar to what created the Hulk. And then, poof! He starts turning into the Hulk whenever he gets angry. Another possibility is that he encounters a villain who has the power to transform others and decides to use Naruto as his guinea pig to create a super - strong and uncontrollable Naruto - Hulk hybrid.
Well, in fanfiction, anything is possible. Maybe Naruto gets transported to the Sekirei world through some sort of magic or a strange portal. This could be the start of his journey to become a Sekirei. It could also be due to a curse or a wish gone wrong that transforms him into a Sekirei - like form.
Well, in a fanfiction scenario, Naruto could become Kazekage if there was some sort of political alliance between Konoha and Suna. Maybe after years of working together on various missions and sharing resources, the two villages decided to have a more unified leadership. Naruto, being a well - known and respected ninja, could be chosen to lead Suna as Kazekage. He has shown his ability to understand and work with different people, which would be crucial in leading a village not his own.
If Naruto loses all his friends in a tragic way, perhaps in a battle against an overwhelming enemy that the village could have prevented. His grief could turn into hatred towards the shinobi system. He may decide that the existing order is what causes all this pain and destruction, and then he starts to work against it, becoming a villain in the eyes of the village.
