Power struggles are common. Just like in the original Naruto where there are power hierarchies among the villages, in gangster fanfiction, there are power plays between different gangs. For example, they might fight over control of certain areas or valuable ninja resources.
Well, in gangster naruto fanfiction, the art style often gets a cool twist. Artists might draw Naruto and his friends with a more edgy, street - wise look. They could be wearing leather jackets and have a more rebellious appearance. And the stories usually involve a lot of action and power struggles within the 'gang' environment, which is different from the typical ninja village battles in the original Naruto.
Another option could be Orochimaru. He has his own motives and is always looking for power. He could be the head of a powerful gang in the criminal underworld of the Naruto world. He would constantly be trying to capture Naruto or his friends to use them for his experiments or to gain more power over the ninja world.
Perhaps a fanfic where Naruto is a gangster in a modern - day AU (alternate universe) of the Naruto world. He could be leading a group to fight against corruption in the city, using his charisma and the 'ninja' values in a new context. For example, his Rasengan could be a special move he uses to take down opponents in a more urban - style battle.
Well, it could be about a female character who is like a gangster queen in the Naruto world. Maybe she's a powerful kunoichi who rules an underground organization. She could be involved in illegal trading of ninja tools or secrets. And she might cross paths with Naruto and his friends, either as an enemy or an unexpected ally.
The setting is a major difference. While the original Naruto is set in ninja villages with a focus on ninja training and village politics, gangster naruto fanfiction is set in a more underworld - like environment. There are gangs instead of ninja clans in control. Naruto's character might also change. Instead of being a go - getting ninja aiming to be Hokage, he could be a gangster aiming for power in the criminal underworld.
Well, he might use his ninja skills in a more devious way. Maybe he forms his own gang with some outcast ninjas. They could operate in the shadows, using stealth and combat skills for illegal activities like stealing from the rich to help the poor in their own skewed sense. He could also have some epic showdowns with the authorities or other gangs in the village.
There's also 'Naruto: Gangster Ninja'. In this fanfiction, Naruto finds himself involved with a group of outcast ninjas who operate more like a gang. They fight against the established shinobi villages' rules and try to create their own path. It has some really interesting character developments and action scenes.
It could be an OC (Original Character) who is a half - human, half - demon. This character has been shunned by society and thus turns to a life of crime, becoming the gangster queen. She would have her own set of powers and a complex backstory that ties into the Naruto world. Maybe she has a connection to the Akatsuki in some way.
