Fanfiction about these team leaders can also focus on their relationships. Spark of Team Valor and Candela of Team Instinct could have a friendly rivalry that goes beyond just the in - game competition. They might meet up secretly to discuss Pokemon strategies without their teams knowing.
A time - travel fanfiction involving the team leaders would be cool. They could go back in time to witness the origin of Pokemon. This would give them new insights into the creatures they are so passionate about, and they could bring back forgotten knowledge to the present day.
Well, it could be that Team Rocket manages to brainwash the gym leaders into doing their bidding. Maybe they use some new, devious device or a powerful, mind - controlling Pokémon. The brainwashed gym leaders could then start causing chaos in the Pokémon world, like changing the rules of gym battles or stealing rare Pokémon for Team Rocket.
Obviously, the gym leaders themselves would be important characters. They are the ones being brainwashed. And of course, members of Team Rocket like Jessie, James, and Giovanni would be main characters as they are the ones doing the brainwashing. Also, there could be a young, heroic trainer who tries to stop Team Rocket and save the gym leaders.
The team dynamics would be quite unique. There would be a lot of self - competition. Each Naruto would be trying to outdo the other in terms of strength, speed, and ninjutsu. But at the same time, they would also understand each other deeply since they are the same person. They might have an unspoken agreement to push each other to be better.
It could be some of the younger ninjas from the village who look up to Naruto. Maybe a young genin who has a special ability with earth jutsu, and another who is really good at stealth but lacks confidence. Naruto would then help them grow.
Kurenai might be a good sensei for Naruto's different team. Her expertise in genjutsu would be valuable. She could help the team develop their skills in this area, especially if the new team members have some potential in genjutsu. Kurenai is also very perceptive, which would be great for guiding Naruto and his new teammates through difficult situations.
The scenario where Team 8 saves Team 7 instead would be quite interesting. It could introduce new conflicts and resolutions, and potentially reveal hidden strengths of Team 8 that weren't previously showcased.
