Sasuke could be an alternative. He has strong ninja skills and a deep understanding of the ninja world. His experiences have made him grow into a very capable person, and his Sharingan gives him an edge in combat and strategic planning.
I really like 'Naruto, Sasuke and Sarutobi: A New Beginning'. In this fanfic, it starts with Sarutobi having a premonition about the future of Naruto and Sasuke. So he takes steps to guide them differently. It's an interesting take on their relationship. 'Sasuke's Redemption under Sarutobi' is also good. It shows Sasuke trying to make amends with the village with Sarutobi's guiding spirit in mind. And 'The Hidden Power of the Trio' is a fanfic that gives a new perspective on the powers they possess and how they can be combined for the greater good.
A common theme is family and clan loyalty. Since the Sarutobi are an important clan in the Naruto universe, many OC fanfictions explore how the original characters uphold the values and traditions of the clan. Another theme is the pursuit of power. OCs often strive to become strong ninjas, just like the well - known Sarutobi characters in the original series.
In this type of fanfiction, it's possible that the story delves into Naruto's backstory and how being Sarutobi's son would have affected his childhood. Maybe he would have grown up with more guidance and support, which could have changed his personality. Instead of being the lonely outcast that he was in the original story, he could have been more confident from the start. The fanfiction might also introduce new characters related to Sarutobi that play important roles in Naruto's life. There could be new adventures and challenges that are unique to this new family dynamic, such as Naruto having to uphold the Sarutobi family name and legacy within the Hidden Leaf Village.
Well, it depends on the specific fanfiction. Some fanfictions might explore alternate storylines where Naruto doesn't become the Hokage at all. Maybe he decides to pursue a different path in life, like focusing on being a teacher or an explorer. However, in a large number of fanfictions, he does achieve his goal of becoming the Hokage because it's such an iconic and desired outcome for fans who want to see his journey to the top in different ways.
One great Anbu Naruto Sarutobi fanfiction is 'The Anbu's Hidden Mission'. It delves deep into Sarutobi's leadership within the Anbu and Naruto's unexpected role in a secret operation. The story is filled with intense action scenes and a touch of mystery.
Obviously, Naruto would be one of the main characters. And since it's about him being the son of Sarutobi, Sarutobi himself would be a crucial character. There would also likely be the usual Naruto characters like Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi etc. as they would still be part of Naruto's life in the fanfiction, even with this new family relationship.
One possible plotline could be a what - if scenario. For example, what if Sarutobi had a closer relationship with Kushina before she met Minato. Maybe they could be friends who gradually develop deeper feelings as they face various challenges in the Hidden Leaf Village together.
Yes, there are quite a few. Some fanfictions might focus on their interactions within the Hidden Leaf Village. For example, they could be involved in a joint mission where Hiruzen, as the experienced Hokage, imparts some of his wisdom to Kushina. This could lead to a great story of mentorship and friendship.
One common theme is friendship. Given their different positions in the village, a story could be built around how they become friends. Another theme could be protection. Since Kushina is a jinchuriki, Hiruzen might be involved in protecting her from those who would seek to use her power for evil.
