Orochimaru is a very likely character. He has always been shown to be extremely power - hungry in the original Naruto series. He's constantly seeking new ways to gain more power, whether it's through experimenting on others or trying to obtain the Sharingan. Another one could be Kabuto. He was influenced by Orochimaru and also had a strong desire for power. He tried to absorb all kinds of powers and knowledge to become stronger. And Madara Uchiha is also a candidate. His plan to create the Infinite Tsukuyomi was mainly driven by his thirst for power and his desire to reshape the world according to his own will.
One example could be a fanfiction where Naruto becomes obsessed with power to the point of challenging all the great shinobi in the world without hesitation. He might seek out forbidden jutsus and train in isolation to gain more power, disregarding his friends and the village at first.
Some common themes in power hungry Naruto fanfics are power at any cost. The characters are willing to sacrifice everything, including their morals and relationships, just to gain more power. For example, they might betray their comrades or engage in dark and forbidden jutsu. Another theme is the envy of power. A power - hungry character may be envious of Naruto's natural power or the power of other strong ninjas in the village. This envy can drive them to take extreme actions. And there's also the theme of power imbalance. A power - hungry character can disrupt the balance in the ninja world, causing chaos and conflict among different clans and villages.
One common theme is the exploration of new or hidden magic. Characters often seek power through discovering magic that was previously unknown or forgotten in the wizarding world. For example, they might find ancient spells or artifacts that give them extraordinary power.
Often, Naruto in these fanfictions will have to face the consequences of his power hunger. He may lose the trust of his friends initially, which could then lead to a realization that power isn't everything. His development could then take a turn where he tries to regain what he has lost while still holding onto his new - found strength in a more balanced way.
