Well, in Naruto x Sword Art Online fanfiction, a cool concept is the idea of the Sharingan in the SAO world. Imagine a character with the Sharingan having an advantage in the virtual battles, being able to predict enemy moves more accurately. Also, the idea of Naruto characters exploring the different floors of Aincrad is exciting. They could bring their own unique abilities to deal with the bosses on each floor, like Sasuke using his lightning - style jutsu against a powerful virtual monster.
The Kirito x Leafa fanfiction might also focus on their character growth within the relationship. Leafa has her own in - game abilities and personality traits. When paired with Kirito, her confidence could grow as she teams up with such a skilled player. And for Kirito, being with Leafa could show a different side of his character, perhaps a more relaxed and less battle - hardened side as they explore the virtual world in a more carefree way compared to his usual high - stakes situations.
I really like 'A Different Path in SAO'. In this fanfic, the OC has a special ability that changes the way they interact with the game world. It's full of action - packed scenes and interesting character dynamics. The author does a good job of making the OC fit into the SAO universe seamlessly.
Plotting is also a big challenge. Since the two shows have different goals and story arcs, creating a new plot that incorporates elements from both without feeling like a jumbled mess is hard. The writer has to think about how the SAO players' skills will be relevant in the RWBY world, and vice versa. Also, how will the overarching threat, like the Grimm in RWBY or the bosses in SAO, be integrated into the crossover story?
One possible plot could be that Naruto characters are somehow transported into the world of Sword Art Online. Maybe Naruto, with his never - give - up attitude, would quickly adapt to the virtual world's challenges. He could form a guild with some SAO characters and use his ninja skills to fight the bosses. For example, his shadow clone jutsu could be used to confuse powerful monsters while his teammates attack from different angles.
Naruto would probably be very enthusiastic and loud, which might be a bit of a shock to Asuna at first. But she would soon see his good heart. They would interact through combat training, with Naruto showing off his flashy ninja moves and Asuna teaching him the subtleties of swordplay. They might also have some friendly banter about which world has better fighting styles.
In such a fanfiction, perhaps Naruto, with his ninja skills and tenacity, would enter the world of Sword Art Online. He might initially struggle with the different combat mechanics. But soon, his natural athleticism and combat instincts would kick in. He could form an unlikely alliance with some of the in - game characters, teaching them his ninja ways while also learning about the virtual world's unique sword - based combat.
Sasuke from Naruto can also be quite popular in these crossovers. His cool and brooding nature, along with his powerful ninja abilities, can add an interesting dynamic. As for Sword Art Online, Asuna is also a well - liked character. In a fanfiction, she could interact with Naruto characters in various ways, like teaching them about the virtual world or learning about ninjutsu from them.
One interesting story could be about Naruto characters getting trapped in the Sword Art Online world. They might use their ninja skills in a virtual world full of swords and magic. For example, Naruto could use his shadow clone jutsu to fight off multiple enemies at once in the SAO dungeons.
