There's also 'Anbu's Redemption'. This fanfiction follows an Anbu who has made some mistakes in the past and is now trying to make up for it. It's a very emotional story that also ties in well with the Naruto Shippuden universe.
New storylines. Fanfiction writers can create unique storylines that involve the Anbu in different situations. They can be involved in international ninja politics or have their own personal vendettas. These new and exciting plots draw in readers who want to see more of the Naruto universe.
I don't think it's strange at all. Naruto is a very curious person. Fanfiction can offer new perspectives on his own life and the lives of his friends. He might learn something new about himself or get inspired by the creative ideas in the fanfiction. It could also be a form of entertainment for him during his downtime.
A Naruto x Hinata fanfiction could focus on a mission they go on together during Naruto Shippuden. They are forced to rely on each other in a dangerous situation. Hinata gets injured protecting Naruto, and Naruto is filled with a new - found determination to protect her. This experience deepens their bond, and Naruto starts to see Hinata in a whole new light, leading to the start of their romantic relationship.
One interesting storyline could be Sakura joining the Anbu and having to prove herself among the male - dominated group. She might face challenges like secrecy requirements and intense training, all while Naruto is on his own journey, and their paths cross in unexpected ways during missions.
Well, Kakashi could train Naruto in combat skills specific to ANBU missions. This would include more lethal and precise attacks. He might also teach Naruto how to use different types of weapons that are common in ANBU operations. Maybe Kakashi would set up mock battles where Naruto has to face multiple opponents at once, just like in real ANBU scenarios.
One great 'Naruto Anbu Fanfiction' is 'The Anbu's Redemption'. It delves deep into the lives of Anbu members outside of their missions, showing their personal struggles. Another is 'Anbu in the Shadows', which focuses on a new Anbu recruit and his journey to prove himself. And 'Anbu: Hidden Truths' reveals some long - hidden secrets about the Anbu organization.
Naruto could develop a more solemn side. In the ANBU, he'd understand that his actions have far - reaching consequences for the village. He'd be more of a silent protector. Shikamaru would transform into a more decisive figure. His laid - back attitude would be replaced by a sense of duty and urgency. He'd be quicker to make tough calls in order to protect the village and Naruto, his friend, while in the ANBU.
In many Naruto Shippuden fanfictions where Naruto gets sick, it often shows a different side of his character. Usually, his friends like Sakura and Kakashi would be very worried. Sakura might use her medical skills to take care of him. And his enemies might take this opportunity to try and attack. But Naruto's strong will would still be there even when he's sick. He might not be able to fight as powerfully, but his determination to protect the village would remain unshaken. This kind of fanfiction can explore the relationships in the Naruto universe more deeply when the main character is in a vulnerable state.
One great 'Naruto Shippuden Naruto and Sakura Fanfiction' is 'The Bonds We Share'. It delves deep into their relationship, showing how they grow closer during the Shippuden era. It has some really touching moments between Naruto and Sakura that stay true to their characters as seen in the anime.
