There are many fanfics out there with this concept. Some might focus on Naruto using the save point to prevent the destruction of Konoha. He could go back to key moments in the village's history and change things. This could involve stopping a powerful enemy from attacking or even changing internal political situations in the village that led to problems in the first place. These fanfics can be really creative in how they re - imagine the Naruto universe with this new element.
Well, in the fanfic, Naruto using crystal release could be part of a mission. Maybe he's in a land where crystal release is common among the enemies. He starts to study their techniques and somehow manages to adapt it to his own style. He could then use it to save his friends during a really tough fight. Like, he creates a huge crystal shield to protect everyone from a massive attack and then turns the shield into sharp projectiles to counter - attack.
In a fanfic where Naruto uses haki, it could change his relationships with other characters too. For example, if he shows this new power, some characters might be in awe of him, while others might be jealous. His training to master haki could also lead to new interactions with mentors or allies who are familiar with this power. Also, his use of haki could potentially attract the attention of new enemies who are interested in this unique ability.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto discovers a set of enchanted knives that give him new powers. He then has to learn how to master using them while still keeping his ninja skills intact.
He could throw the cards like shurikens. Naruto has great throwing skills, and the sharp edges of the cards could be made to be as deadly as any ninja weapon. He could also use his chakra to enhance the speed and power of the cards when throwing them at his enemies.
The implications are quite extensive. Firstly, from a combat perspective, Naruto's fighting style would likely change drastically. He would have to adapt to the unique properties of Dust Release, which could involve different hand signs and chakra control. Secondly, in terms of the overall story, it could shift the focus of the fanfic. Instead of relying on his typical Rasengan or Sage Mode, the plot might revolve more around his new Dust Release ability. This could lead to new alliances and rivalries as other characters react to his newfound power. It also might attract different types of enemies who are interested in either obtaining or countering his Dust Release.
The plot could be that Naruto, during a mission in a strange land, comes across a cursed fire. This fire has the power to consume everything in its path. At first, Naruto struggles to control it, but with the help of his friends and his own determination, he learns to harness the power of the fire for good. He then uses it to protect the land he is in from a greater evil that was also after the power of the cursed fire.
Some fanfics might depict the chakra rods as a means of communication. Since they are made of chakra, they could potentially be used to send messages or signals between ninjas over long distances. This would be like a chakra - based telegraph system.
Well, in a way it might be. It adds an element of modernity or an alternate universe feel. However, some purist fans might not like it as it goes against the original setting. But it also allows for creative crossovers, like if Naruto was in a more modern or post - apocalyptic world where guns are common.
