First of all, Naruto arriving in Kumo could disrupt the power balance there. Some might see him as a threat, while others as an opportunity. He could get involved in Kumo's internal politics. Since he's always been about making friends, he might try to bridge the gap between Kumo and Konoha, even though he was banished from Konoha. He could also discover secrets about Kumo that are related to his own past or abilities. For example, there could be some ancient Kumo jutsu that only he can master due to his Uzumaki heritage.
In this fanfiction, Naruto could come across some of Kumo's young shinobi trainees. He could inspire them with his never - give - up attitude. And there's a chance he'll meet some of the village elders in Kumo who might have different views on how to deal with him, either seeing him as a potential asset or a liability.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might face new challenges in Kumo. He could encounter different ninja with unique jutsus. Maybe he has to prove himself all over again in this new village environment.
Well, in Kumo, Naruto might face challenges related to power struggles. There could be certain groups or individuals in Kumo who see Naruto as a threat to their own influence. He's a powerful ninja from Konoha, and some in Kumo might not want him to gain too much power or popularity there. Another biggie is making new friends. It's not easy to break into an established social circle in a new village, and Naruto might find it hard to find people he can really trust and rely on.
One possible plot could be that Naruto goes to Kumo but is not well - received there. Maybe the people of Kumo are still suspicious of him because of his status as a Jinchuuriki. They could isolate him, and Naruto has to struggle to prove himself worthy of their trust. He might also face discrimination from some of the Kumo ninja.
Well, in this fanfic, Naruto being banished from his home village and joining Kumo could lead to a lot of character development. He would have to adapt to a different culture and way of life. For example, Kumo has its own traditions and values that are different from Konoha's. He might also have to prove himself all over again to gain the trust of the Kumo villagers and ninja. This could be a great opportunity for him to grow stronger in different ways, like training with Kumo's powerful ninja masters and learning their combat techniques.
Well, in the 'banished naruto goes east fanfiction', it could potentially explore Naruto's growth outside of the village that banished him. Maybe he discovers new jutsu or forms new relationships in the east. He might also have to deal with the prejudice from his being a banished ninja while trying to make a new life for himself in an unfamiliar land.
He might meet a young and idealistic ninja in Kumo. This ninja could show Naruto a different way of looking at the ninja world. Maybe this Kumo ninja has a more peaceful approach to resolving conflicts, which makes Naruto re - evaluate his own views on fighting and rivalry between villages.
Another possibility is that there is a rogue ninja in Kumo who uses Naruto's neglected state to his advantage. He might try to manipulate Naruto into doing things that would be bad for both Naruto and Kumo, all while remaining in the shadows and making it seem like Naruto is acting on his own accord.
Naruto might meet some young and talented Kumo ninjas. They could be eager to test their skills against Naruto or learn from him. Maybe there are some unique characters like a Kumo ninja with a special bloodline limit that Naruto has never seen before.
