Maybe in this fanfiction, Naruto is separated from his normal friends and mentors. Instead, he is surrounded by cold - hearted trainers who see him as nothing but a tool. They might even suppress his emotions so that he can be a more effective weapon. He could be sent on dangerous solo missions where the sole objective is to eliminate the target using his new - found combat skills.
The Hidden Leaf Village elders could be the main antagonists. They might see Naruto as a means to an end, a weapon to maintain the village's supremacy. So they push him to the limits without caring about his feelings or future.
Perhaps it's a unique staff. A staff could have different uses, like being a conduit for chakra. It could also have hidden compartments or be made from a rare material that gives Naruto an edge in battles. For example, it might be made from a metal that can absorb chakra attacks and then redirect them.
Well, it could be a sword with the power to cut through any jutsu. Maybe it has some special markings that only Naruto can understand. It might also be a staff that can control the elements in a unique way, giving Naruto an edge in battles.
A Naruto living puppet fanfiction often explores unique concepts. It could involve a character creating living puppets in the Naruto universe. Maybe a rogue ninja discovers a new jutsu to bring puppets to life and uses them for various purposes, like creating an army or for espionage.
It could be a sword that can cut through any substance, like the Susanoo easily. Just imagine Naruto swinging it and slicing through powerful jutsu defenses as if they were paper.
If the weapon is a chakra - enhancing tool, it will boost Naruto's existing jutsu. For example, his Rasengan could become more powerful, being able to break through stronger defenses.
In a Naruto - raised - Jedi - and - Sith fanfiction, Naruto would bring his unique perspective. His own experiences of being an outcast and then a hero in his world could shape how he raises these Star Wars characters. He might introduce the concept of teamwork like in his ninja teams to the Jedi, who already have a sense of community. With the Sith, he'd be faced with a huge challenge as the Sith ideology is based on self - gain and power - hunger. Naruto could use his own story of facing powerful enemies and not succumbing to evil to try and steer the young Sith away from the dark path.
In this fanfiction, Lulu is likely a character who has the task of raising Naruto. She could be from a different realm or have a very different background from the Naruto universe. Maybe she's a sorceress or a wise woman with her own secrets and powers that she imparts to Naruto as he grows up.
One popular theme is the transformation of traditional puppets into living entities. This can bring a whole new level of combat and strategy to the Naruto story. Another theme could be the relationship between the puppet master and the living puppet, which might be more complex than with regular puppets.
