One common theme is power and its pursuit. Shinobi in Kumogakure are often depicted as striving to gain more power, either through new jutsu or by climbing the ranks. Another is loyalty, like loyalty to the village and its leaders.
Darui is another popular one. He's a strong shinobi from Kumogakure and his laid - back yet powerful nature gives a lot of room for fanfiction writers to explore different storylines. Writers can focus on his growth as a ninja, his relationships with other Kumogakure shinobi, or his missions outside the village.
One great Naruto Kumogakure Ninja fanfic is 'The Lightning's Shadow'. It focuses on a young Kumogakure ninja's journey to master his unique lightning - based jutsu. The story has great character development and intense battle scenes.
Another idea is that the reader is a spy from another village who has infiltrated Kumogakure. However, when they meet Killer Bee, they start to have second thoughts. Killer Bee's charisma and his loyalty to his village make the reader question their own motives. As they interact more, the reader might even consider switching sides and joining Kumogakure, with Killer Bee as their guide and newfound friend in this new world.
Maybe Naruto joins Kumogakure to form an alliance between it and Konoha on a more personal level. He could work with the Raikage to strengthen the bond between the two villages. This could involve Naruto taking part in Kumogakure's missions and proving his loyalty and worth to the village. In the process, he would make new friends among the Kumogakure shinobi and have to adapt to their different culture and way of life.
One idea could be an OC who is a lightning - style user in Kumogakure and has to face a powerful enemy from another village. The OC could discover a new jutsu during the battle.
A powerful Raikage - like character as an OC would be great. This character could be extremely strong in physical combat and have a no - nonsense attitude towards protecting Kumogakure.
The unique setting of Kumogakure. It's a village known for its lightning - based jutsu and powerful ninjas. Fanfics set there can explore this distinct aspect, like how the ninja train in the mountains with all the lightning storms.
Darui is another popular one. His laid - back yet powerful nature gives a lot of room for fanfiction writers to explore different scenarios. He can be the cool - headed leader in some stories or the one who has to overcome his own laziness in others.
There might be a fanfiction where a Kumogakure ninja goes on a journey to learn a secret technique from another village. Along the way, they face many challenges and make new allies. This kind of story often explores the character's growth and the relationships they form outside their home village.
