Well, Naruto is obviously one of the main characters. He's the one who's going to be doing the beating. And Pain is also a main character in this context, as he is the opponent Naruto has to defeat.
Another plotline could involve Naruto using his strong will and the power of friendship. Maybe he gets some unexpected help from his friends in a way that gives him the edge over Pain. Like, Shikamaru could come up with a brilliant strategy that Naruto executes perfectly.
Well, in a way it depends on the context of the fanfiction. If the writer decides to give Naruto some sort of super - powered boost or if Jiraiya is weakened in some way. For example, if Naruto has some unique power - up that allows him to counter Jiraiya's toad - related jutsus easily. But Jiraiya is a very experienced and powerful shinobi too, so it's not a straightforward win for Naruto without some plot devices.
In many fanfictions, Naruto might use new jutsus or a deeper understanding of his own power. Maybe he taps into a more powerful form of the Nine - Tails' chakra and combines it with his Sage Mode in a unique way to overpower Pain.
One common theme is the struggle against fate. In Naruto, Naruto himself is constantly fighting against the fate that the village has set for him as a jinchuriki. In Angel Beats, the characters are all dealing with their past traumas and trying to find peace in the afterlife, which is also a form of fighting against their fates.
One common theme is competition. Naruto and Sakura are often shown competing in some form, like a ninja battle or a test at the academy, and Naruto comes out on top. Another theme could be growth. Naruto's victory over Sakura might be a catalyst for her to grow and improve herself. Also, friendship is sometimes a theme. Even though Naruto beats Sakura, it doesn't damage their friendship but rather strengthens it in some way.
Yes, there are some. You can try looking on fanfiction websites like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. Just search for 'naruto beats sakura' in their search bars and you'll likely find a variety of stories. Some might focus on battles between them in different scenarios, or it could be more about Naruto outperforming Sakura in a competition or task.
In fanfictions about Naruto beating Sasuke in the Chunin Exams, the story could take a different turn for their relationship. Usually, Sasuke is the more skilled one in the early parts. But if Naruto wins, it could lead to Sasuke being more envious and determined to surpass Naruto in a different way. Naruto, feeling proud of his victory, might also be more motivated to keep getting stronger to maintain his edge over Sasuke.
A Naruto - beats - Gildarts fanfiction might have Naruto using his unique abilities in unexpected ways. For example, he could use his chakra to disrupt Gildarts' magic flow. Naruto's connection with the Nine - Tailed Fox could also play a role. Maybe the fox gives him some extra boost or advice during the fight. The fanfiction could also explore the cultural differences between the two characters' worlds. How Naruto's shinobi values compare to Gildarts' guild - based values in Fairy Tail. And in the end, Naruto's victory could be a result of his combined physical and mental strength.
Well, Naruto has some serious power-ups like his Sage Mode and later the Six Paths Sage Mode. If in a fanfiction, he could use his speed and strength along with his strategic mind. Maybe he quickly assesses Gildarts' magic patterns and finds a weakness. His shadow clones could also be a great distraction while he lands a powerful Rasengan. Also, Naruto's ability to keep getting back up and his never - give - up attitude could wear Gildarts down over time.
